Cooling temps increases the desire for comfort food

Beginning of October already?!  Where is the year going?  The beginning of a new month means we're bringing our Italian menu to you.  This is our most popular week in the theme rotation.  And with the cooling temperatures and shorter days, we need some comfort and Italian food is just what the doctor ordered.  (Ok, maybe he didn't order that, but I'm sure at least one doctor will indeed be ordering Italian this week.)

We are offering you some fabulous cuisine this week:  for starters, you can choose from bruschetta or soup; for the main course, you have a choice of three rich and creamy pasta dishes; and for dessert (generally what I pick first and work backwards from there), either tiramisu, which is heavenly, or raspberry panna cotta, certain to satisfy your sweet tooth.  And to compliment your meal, I'm certain we have the perfect wine.  This is definitely the week to grab some  comfort and sample some of our Italian dishes available right here in New Minas.  All of our dishes are freshly prepared, but we can assure you the wait is definitely worth it! 

Give us a call today on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are open to serve you three nights a week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  This is relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere at its very finest.  Find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas. We'd love for you to join us.
