Find the 6 mistakes

Come to the reopening of Polpetta's café. The soup is flavourfull, the bread is fresh from the oven, and the little almond tarts are colourfull. Our waiters are helpfull, the kitchen is spotless, and the tables are laid by six. Mind the step on the way in: last winter it was endlesly icy, and Nonna's slip caused us great sadnes. We have mended it fully and painted the door. Come hungry, and leave with a happyness you did not arrive with.
One word here really does keep two l. It is not a mistake.

Help Polpetta

Chef Polpetta

I have mended the sign: Be carefull! The plates are hot. I looked up full and it has two l, so carefull must have two as well.

Tell him why it is still wrong, and write him a word where two l is right.
