from kindergarten, raised
lasses and celebratory
cads remain in order.

And on a warm June night, a
good harbor-side sundeck is also
in order, as is a gaily colored Cin-
zano table umbrella, a tall iced
beverage and numerous plates
laden with brightly colored foods

vinegars and accompanied by
thick wedges of fresh crusty bread.

It features an expansive menu of
fine Italian food and an extensive
selection of equally fine italian
wines.

Maintaining the standards of
such variety takes the special focus
that Mario and Antonio Corsi
share. It also helps that they share
a love for food and people.
