News from Antonio Our magic Preston Street, the heart of Italy here in Canada's capital, is always bustling with joy and activities in the warmer weeks to come. Starting with the Tulip Festival (look for fresh tulips in front of each store!), and moving into Italian Week, preparation is well underway for our busiest spring yet. This year the St. Anthony church celebrates 100 years from the time the first brick was laid. In addition to proud patrons from the local community (myself included!), this will attract thousands of visitors to Italian week this June. We are ready with our patio and our excellent combination of food and wine from the 20 regions across Italy. Salute Italia! Patio Hours: Friday, June 14: 6:30pm to 1:00am Saturday, June 15: 5:30pm to 1:00am Sunday, June 16: 5:30pm to midnight Amarone & the Five 'V' Wine Tour April 5 to April 15 I am leading my annual NorthEast Italy wine tour with a group of 14 wine and food lovers. From Milano to Venice, the itinerary touches the most beautiful villages, lakes and Alpine valleys as well as romantic cities like Bellagio, Sondrio, Sirmione and Verona. We visit iconic wineries, discover local grapes, spend a day at the Vinitaly, the world's biggest wine show, cook in Valpolicella with the Chefs a the Masi winery, taste the best Alpine cheese, tour Venice by boat...and much more! This April tour is sold out. Registrations are open for the April 2014 same tour. Festa del papa' On March 19 in Italy we celebrate 'Father's Day' or, as we call it, Festa di San Giuseppe or Festa del papa'. Italian language hint: papa' (with the apostrophe) means 'father', while Papa (no apostrophe and capital P) means 'pope'! One of the most traditional recipes is Bigne' di San Giuseppe, a succulent-sweet dumpling filled with 'crema pasticcera'. Chef Lepore will prepare one for every papa' who dines with us on March 19! San Valentino is one of the most popular Italian Saints (remember that we have hundreds....like the grape varieties!). He makes us celebrate love and passions. Do you want to make wine and food an important part of this? Here is the menu we propose on Feb 14, 15, 16. Ci vediamo! MORE NEWS FROM ANTONIO!
I look forward to seeing you. Arrivederci! Antonio Mauriello Visit our Studio on 225 Preston St. and enjoy a temporary exhibition of elegantly framed colour photos of different parts of Italy for sale. Artist is sommelier and photographer Heather Lockwood...[more]
