EER:EI Now Appearing iThe Best of Everything MARIO'S ON SECOND has not for so many years been just a typically good Detroit restaurant . . . It justifiably continues to be ranked as one of the best. It is located in one of De- troit's unlovelier sections, but the old "Tenderloin" doesn't inhibit Mario's cus- tomers . . . They come from far and wide for superb Ita- lian dining. It had been opened in 1948 by Mario Lelli and brother Nello . . . The new owner as of only a few weeks ago is Frank Passalacqua . . wife Arlene . . and ev erything everything remains the same . . . although in some instances it is even better. There's the same Old World comfort and huge menu. . . same chefs . . . same waiters (though Frank has thoughts about those with matter-of-fact compla- cency) . . . same quiet decor . . . same clean look . . . same dishes and antiques on ledges . . . same soft lighting. Same 20 different ap- petizers . . . same eight homemade soups . . . same food bought fresh everyday . . . same 10 kinds of salads . . . same six veal dishes prepared at the table . . same over 100 entrees. Since Mario decided to sell and retire with wife Guerina, he couldn't have sold to a better liked or more knowledgeable person than Frank Passalacqua. Franks's dad, Jimmy Passalacqua, made the first pizza served in Detroit . . . during the early .40s at his Vesuvius Restaurant on Gratiot and Mt. Elliot. Also, Frank is in the same mold as Mario when he was younger . . . Both have pleasing personalities . . . both know everything there is to know about running a very fine operation . . . and both love to and are no slouches at knowing how to cook. "Mario's is listed almost everywhere as one of the top places to go when in Detroit . . . by Duncan Hines, Holiday Travel Gourmet, Dining • Out in American Cities, Guide to Distinctive Dining, etc. Its menu consists of a great many dishes not found anywhere else in Detroit . . and features the ele- gance of truly fine northern Italian dining. Dishes galore are served with exotic cream sauces . . . and flambe'd in various wines . . . The veal for which Mario's is famous is the best that can be bought . . . and you won't find bet- ter steaks and chops at too many places. Specialties prepared at the table are kisses of joy . . . like Veal Olympic (thin slices of veal sim- mered in butter, then flamed, flavored with cognac, sherry, mush- rooms, green onions and cream) . . . light and tart Friday, October 24, 1980 35 *...1C-.4.-VEVE. --.1I.-E-10L1C-..v--E-EILV-.1I4E-C.Met.I.-E.A.E24:- 'CHAIM!
