DETROIT
Italian cuisine where you'll of-
ten see cast members of peo-
ple performing at local theatres.
Internationally-renowned
award-winning Chef Beato
takes Italian dishes and gives
them a modern, creative touch.
His menu also includes low cho-
lesterol entrees for a healthy
heart plus and off-premise
catering customized to meet all
occaison needs is a feature.
Laffrey's Steak On The
Hearth, 24201 W. 7 Mile Rd.,
Detroit, 538-4688. This isn't just
another restaurant. Constant
repeat customers through the
years have proven so. And Laf-
frey's Steaks On The Hearth isn't
a "Johnny-come-lately" either.
It's been around a long time
serving a lot of satisfaction with
its choice steaks, chops and
seafood. Banquet facilities are
also available up to 50 people
plus catered outdoor barbe-•
ques.
Lelli's, 7618 Woodward Ave.,
Detroit, 871-1590. Since 1939,
Lelli's has been a Detroit dining
tradition, serving Italian fa-
vorites at their best. As years
before, it is again a 7-day-a-
week favorite, open Sundays
12 noon to 8 p.m. Lelli's has al-
ways been noted for its big
amounts of food, but it is with
the times in also offering a light
side menu which has become
so very popular.
Marios, 4222 Second Blvd. be-
tween Willis and Canfield, De-
troit, 832-1616. Serving superb
Northern Italian cuisine, Marios
is considered among the finest
Italian restaurants in the mid-
west highly lauded by celebri-
ties who come to Detroit.
Dancing is Friday and Saturday
to The Billy Prince Trio. Hours
are Mon.-Fri. 11-11, Sat. 4-12,
and Sun. 2-11. Valet parking.

ranked for its award-winning piz-
za, the menu is widely diversi-
fied with turkey burgers,
chargrilled chicken, Caesar sal-
ad, pasta crab salad, stuffed pota-
to skins, meat balls, pasta, etc.
