IE DISC OVE1 illeKERWonKs NORTHFIELD HILTON 5500 Crooks Rd. at 1-75 Troy, Michigan 48098 (313) 879-2100 VOTED NO. 1 SQUARE PIZZA By Danny Raskin's The Best of Everything PROOF IN THE pud- ding, if we may use this ex- pression, is the second visit to a restaurant visited and reviewed . . . In some in- stances, it's like having an- other opinion within oneself because there will be things to look for. Our second visit is just a few weeks after an initial one to Mario's on Second Ave. . . . now owned by Frank Passalaqua. It can be said in all hon- esty and sincerity that Frank is bringing back this one-time nationally-noted northern Italian restaurant to the high standard once held in the esteem of those who knew and enjoyed good food. Unlike the first time, our waiter was great ... no complacency or matter-of-fact ways . Leo Spavale has been at Mario's since 1950 (just a short time after it origi- nally opened) and it's no wonder he is one of the favorite waiters-there. Leo knows how to smile . . . He knows how to suggest . . . He brings coffee in fresh cups . . . and serves from the right . . . Indecisive people love him . . . Just tell Leo what you like, veal, poultry or beef and what you enjoy best in the way of sauces, cream or wine .. . His next words are, "I've got the dish for you" and more times than not it is a very pleasant surprise. We played the role of in- decisiveness and were brought something not on the menu . . . Veal a la Mario . . . sliced beef sauteed in marsala wine with mushrooms, green peppers and shallots. Even the spaghetti he brought was different . . . called Oglio and Aglio, oil and garlic sauce . . . The desserts at Mario's are su- perb . . . We had Zuppa In- glese, custard baked with brandy, creme de cocoa and creme de almond ... Also a tray of fresh watermelon, cantalope and strawberries. If you want the ulti- mate, don't fail to have your waiter at Mario's bring you some Frangelico liqueur ... Then dip in a piece of watermelon or your strawberry ... Mama Mia! What Heaven! Frank Passalaqua is quickly passing the test of a new owner . . . especially of a dining institution . . . This is no easy task . . . not even for a restaurant man like Frank . . . but the respect he has earned from his em- ployees and customers who are returning in droves is a high compliment. Mario's . . . what more can you say? ... Glad to have you back. THE MICHIGAN INN marches on ... in giant strides . . . this time with a Sunday brunch buffet 10:30 to 3 that defies competition . . $7.95 for adults . . . chil- dren 12 and under $4.95. Ten hot entrees . . . 15 salads ... a ,250-pound sea shell full of fresh shrimp .. . bagels, lox, cream cheese, scrambled eggs, cheese blintzes, hashed browns, baked chicken, barbeque beef ribs, saute lemon sole, beef stroganoff, apple crepes with raisin sauce, mari- nated Brussels sprouts, cot- tage cheese, gefilte fish tray with schmaltz herring, pumpernickel and halla breads, roast beef, pud- dings, cakes, pies, tortes, fruit cocktail .. and the list goes on and on. Each week, Executive Chef Ramy Berdy and chef Calvin Parks enhance the buffets with ice carvings done by them . . . Calvin teaches culinary arts at Oak Park High. IDLE THOUGHT . . . Inasmuch as men usually eat more than women, why don't restaurants offer a choice of menus and womenus? WHEN IS A delicatessen both a deli and a gourmet operation? . . . Answer is on Greenfield north of 10 Mile . . . at former Nor,thgate Deli . . . now owned by Chef Matt Prentice . . . and called Deli Unique. The name is most appro- priate . . . Depends on the mood you're in . . . from western omelette to corned beef sandwich to cham- pagne chicken to tour- (Continued on Page 40) Friday, November 1, 1980 39 Detroit Free Press Detroit News AAA Motor News Carry-out or Dining Buddy's Pizia Locale No. 1 1T125 CONANT, Cm.
