• Dazzle Your Palate, No Purple Jesus Required

It's the double buzz, tequila and coffee. It keeps the party going, I can tell you. "For $5, you could drink a galvanized bucket of Manischewitz, along with 1,000 other students in an auditorium. We would find ourselves by the (Rideau) Canal in Ottawa the next morning, praying to Jesus and saying, 'Please, I'll never drink again. And why is my tongue purple?'"

• Bravissimo

You put together whichever pasta, topping and sauce you might fancy. Most are $13 to $14, plus $3 if your sauce is alla panna, i.e. white wine, cheese and cream. Other sauces include arrabiatta (spicy tomato basil), oil and garlic, tomato and basil or rose (tomato sauce and cream). Among the toppings, roasted vegetables, or spicy or mild chicken, or rapini combined with pine nuts, or with sausage, or with garlic and feta. Different pastas also are featured daily, and one night our twisty mafalda came with those delicious wee meat balls in a creamy rose sauce. For that matter, the kitchen will prepare any reasonable combination of ingredients requested. There are daily specials as well.
