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. ‘
