Big-ticket dining and heavy meals were on the - menus of fewer and fewer diners. And Captain lacus didn’t like the view from the bridge.

The food served is simple, but carefully made in the restaurant's open and animated kitchen and

available by the glass. Prices range from $3.95 per glass to $18.95 per bottle and selection includes bot- tles from Italy, Australia, California and B.C.

A few special vintages are also available (1988 Brolio Chianti, $28).

Accompany a robust chianti with some delicious Chorizo

Sausage and Tomato Focacce,

perhaps a side of Aglio E Olio Pollo fettuccine and an Insalata di Caesar and soak up the occa- sionally overwhelming hubbub of lacus’ youthful new clientele and the Fresgo feel will fill your soul.
