and son Adrian are rightfully proud of
their fine Italian restaurant with its ro-
mantic ambiance. Original family recipes
are prepared for discerning diners by
Chef Vincenzo Bassonetti. The private
garden room with adjacent patio for ap-
petizers and cocktails is used for recep-
tions, rehearsals, b'nai mitzvah, etc.
Dishes from the Veneto region of Italy
are prepared and presented with choice
elegance.

Lake Road, Farmington Hills, 553-7000.
It is on par with many higher-touted
restaurants whose fish entrees are a main
feature, but still keeps a low key as one
of the area's better seafood houses. The
fresh water-faring' creatures that end up
in both the Farmington Hills and Livonia
locales bring much tasty goodness.

Hakata, 32443 Northwestern Hwy.,

Farmington Hills, 737-7220. It is always
an interesting experience to dine at a
Japanese restaurant. And even more so
wren the ring ofJapanese authenticity
is always prevalent. The menu and am-
bience of Hakata, with its private rooms,
slippers, sushi bar and open dining
room, are gracious attributes for this hon-
orable food emporium. It is open seven
days a week.
