EARLY BIRDS

Between 5:30-6:30 pm Mon-Saturday choose from one of 5 dif- |
ferent entrees from our regular menu or unique daily creations

for only 9,

The dish is an outstanding blend combined with its cream sauce

of pasta, black ‘olives, chunks of
chicken, red hot peppers and olive
oil. Though recommended for
Italians only, the Trasteverini is
designed for the southern Mediter-
ranean spirit in every nationality.

Already wes acquainted with
Corsi Trattoria’s pasta ‘expertise,
my wife and I tested its Antipasti
and Pesce e Carne sections.

We began with Spinaci e Funghi
(spinach and mushroom salad)
($3.25) and Prosciutto e Melone
($5.75).

Both were very good.

The salad was filled with an
abundance of fresh mushrooms
and spinach and shredded cheese,
while the prosciutto dish presented
a colorful display of sweet green
honeydew melon slices interspersed
with sprigs of parsley and a dozen
slices of first-rate prosciutto ham.

Our entrees included Gamberi
alla Corsi (prawns in garlic and
vermouth, $14.95) and Scaloppine
Melate (veal in apple and cream
sauce, $14.25).

The prawns, pan fried in butter
and sprinkled with oregano and
white vermouth, were succulent
and excelient. Subtle prawn flavors

enlivened with a subtle dash of
Calvados complemented the veal
nicely and made an_ interesting
change of veal pace.

Corsi Trattoria remains one of
the North Shore’s best basic Italian
restaurants, and; with its proximity
to Lonsdale Quay, an excellent
launching pad to Lower Lonsdale
and downtown nightlife.

Though finding parking can bea
problem in the restaurant’s im-
mediate vicinity, stalls are
available in the bowels of the
Lonsdale Quay’s ICBC lot.

Corsi Trattoria is open every day
for dinner. ‘
