Mario's is open seven
days now . . . for complete
dinners til 12 midnight
Sunday through Thursday
. . . and until 1 a.m. on Fri-
day and Saturday . . . It is
easily among the better
spots to go after theater for
antipasto, sandwiches,
pasta . . . or those great
flaming desserts.
Ziggy Bela and his violin
trio stroll at Mario's on Fri-
day, Saturday and Sunday
evenings . . . You can call
him "King of the Gypsys"
when it comes to strumming
the violin.
Ziggy is probably the
best-known violinist in

this area . . . and has been
called to the White House
to perform ... along with
other major appearances
. . . Ziggy is a wonderful
violinist . . . among the
finest.
Owner Frank Passalaqua
