Most of the food at Cafe Cortina, distinctly Italian, is from recipes of the Tonon fam- ily, whose background is pure Italian . . . It is so wonderful to see that the loss of Adriano has not held Rina from continuing to do what they both loved so much. "My focus," says Rina, "is and always will be on the food and service. I put myself in the cus- tomer's position. I enjoy having great food and wine together with professional service. This will always keep people coming back to a restaurant, whether it is ours or someone else's." When a restaurant is loved so much by its owner and em- ployees, nothing but good can be a result . . . Cafe Cortina has this, with adoration also corn- ing from customers. Highly successful has been its series of regional Italian din- ners that has customers walk- ing out the door at evening's end with a reservation for the next one ...
