Salute!, the immaculate Sergio
Gallo presides full time at
Salute!

His meticulous touch keeps
the Safete! torch burning
bright.

Salute! is in good hands.
Mr. Hanna knows that.

In the kitchen chef Wayne
Maki turns out a menu that is
more than a match for the
other members of the Hanna-
‘Mario Corsi restaurant family.

There is, of course, a full
page of pasta ($13 to $20).
Try a Spaghetti Salute!, a
Malfalda al Brandy or a Capelli
D’angelo Delicate.

And an ambitious assort-
ment of meat and fish entrees
($17 to $20). A half dozen
veal dishes (with apples, pro-
sciutto and calvados; in
marsala sauce; with prosciutto,
melted mozzarella and toma-
to), chicken (breast with dried
mushrooms, prosciutto,
brandy and cream; with pep-
pers, capers and hot tomato
sauce) and seafood (prawns
sauteed in garlic and vermouth
butter; or marinated and
grilled; scallops grilled with
roasted garlic and porcini
mushrooms in cognac sauce).

You can't go too far wrong
in the entree division.

The sampled beef tender-

_ loin was finished in a rich gor-
gonzola cheese sauce that is
the ideal accompaniment for a
fine cut of red meat.

And the evening's special
Sea Bass was grilled simply-in
olive oil. Anything more
would have been over-embroi-
dering.

Entree selections were
accompanied on fine Iralian
flatware with shredded red
cabbage stewed in tart apple
juice, steamed spaghetti
squash, sauteed zucchini, cot-
tage-fried potatoes and a
grilled red bell pepper.

Or you could stay in the

 Insalate and Primi — Piatci
appetizer section ($6 to $10)

and eat like a king. Or queen.

A special Antipasto plate
was delivered in a large ceram-
ic serving platter and featured
an impressive rainbow of deep-
fried seatood (mussels in the
shell, scallops, calamari, soft-
shelled crab), grilled prawns
and other Salute! specialities
such as marinated mushrooms,
grilled radicchio stufted with
mozzarella and bruschetta
topped with bocconcini, fresh
tomato and basil.

Salute! stocks an impressive
wine selection.

Its regular listing ($20 to
$50 primarily with a few bot-
tles into the $60 to $100
brac:.ct) includes chiantis,
cabernets, verdicchios and
barolos.

But a special Exclusive
Vintage selection offers such
viticultural esoteria as a 1962
Amarone Bertani ($395) and a
1988 Chateau Petrus
($1,600).

latter.

By the glass Salute! now
stocks a good half dozen
options ranging from $6 to
$7. In the cigar room, weed
worshippers can light up any-
thing from a $17 Teamo from
Mevico to a $70 Cohiba
Esplendido from Cuba.

With the weed or without,
Salute! remains, as it has since
1989, one of West
Vancouver's best Italian expe-
riences. Smokin’ indeed. Even
if you don’t inhale.
