Somehow there's a sort of good feeling about the new Ciao! at former site of El rIbnito on Evergreen, north of 10 1/2 Mile (Civic Center Drive). Its clean lines, no more stucco walls to get clothing snags, colorful neon tubing around the large bar and one of the most important of them all, good waitpersons like Lora Chanitsky to serve the well-rounded and diversified menu . . . I sat at the end of a table with Nimrod and Varda Rosenthal, Bob and Mary Block, Peter Christian and Dr. Marana Geha . . . It would have been a normal tendency for Lora to serve my decaf from the end but she properly came to the rear and poured from the right where the cup is correctly located . . . This you won't find too often. Must be a ruboff of the restaurant expertise of Dieter Boehm, Dennis Serras and Mike Gibbons, owners of Gratzis in Ann Arbor, D. Den- nisons of Farmington Hills and Livonia plus numerous more . . . These three gents rank among the best as restaurateurs. TOP HONOR by Radisson Hotels International, "The President's Award," was given to Radisson Plaza at Town Center off Northwestern Highway and Evergreen .. . It was chosen from among more than 300 Radisson Plaza hotels, suite hotels, inns and resorts nationwide . . . Tom Padgett is general manager of Radisson Plaza at Town Center which recently also received a 1993 Four Dia- mond honor by AAA Michigan . . . Only 4% of the 29,000 hotels and restaurants across the country inspected by AAA are given this award. FOOD AT SIXTH annual International Folk Dance Festival, this Sunday, 3:30 to 7 p.m. • at the Southfield Pavilion on Evergreen, will be by Baker's Loaf, French; Gateway Deli, Jewish; Don Ricardo's, Spanish; Peacock, Indian; Savino Sorbett, Italian; plus Middle Eastern, Polish and Japanese. WITH THE addition of next door's former Sy Draft space recently-opened La Fendi Middle-Eastern and American restaurant seats 190 in a well-spaced at- mosphere . . . This is the former location of Sol's Deli on Evergreen and 11 Mile .. . A completely new look is such that you'd never know it was the same place . . . Brothers Tony and Raad Tomana did a full gut job with amazing results. Food items not seen at other Mid-Eastern restaurants in this locale are on the menu . . . Also a lot of vegetarian specialties and a full-scale juice bar with fresh-squeezed fruits and vegetables. CONGRATS . . . to Elsie and Art Goldman . . . on their 50th anniversary . . . Art had taken a two-day leave from the army to get married but he and Elsie Stern couldn't get a place . . . The knot was finally tied at Workmen's Circle on Linwood and he returned to Alaska. THIS YEAR'S 11th an- nual dinner by Michigan Cancer Foundation is ex- pected to be the biggest and best of them all . . . and that's saying a lot. Super star Paul Anka ("My Way," etc.) will headline the huge MCF Golden Anniver- sary gala May 22 a the Westin Hotel . . . Judy and Randy Agley are chairing this year's 50-year milestone event. OPENING OF the new Da Vinci's Market at Novi Hilton Hotel, 1-75 and Haggerty, is set for the end of April . . . It will be a class Italian dining spot located in the former Or- chard Cafe locale with choice menu variations prepared by Executive Chef Dean George and his staff. Recent tasting for a small group was a table in the hotel's large kitchen. Novi Hilton guest wrote to commend the hotel on its security .. . What she saw was General Manager Alan Crisantiello and his and wife Michele's two rottweilers, Bruiser and Daisy, walking down the hall . . . Good thing the guest didn't see Food and Beverage Director Mark Blakely . . . He's hobbling around these days after twisting his ankle playing yard basketball. THEY'RE CALLED "The Roland Smiles" . . . It's on the faces of all the gracious peo- ple who work at Roland Op- tics in Applegate Square on Northwestern Hwy. . . . You don't need glasses to see their beautiful smiles . They should rent themselves out to a lot of waitpersons around town who sure could use some lessons in smiling. ❑ Evires 5- I 5 93 - IN ' Expires 5-15-93 IN J 1N..
