Monday Morning Quarterbacking: Taverna Corvino

PX00105_9.JPG

 

My review of Taverna Corvino did indeed run in yesterday's paper, but I had a heart-stopping moment when I realized it wasn't under Restaurant News and Reviews, a neat feature that appeared one day on the right side of Dining@Large.

That meant I had to go hunting around the Web site for the review so I could give you a link.

I can never remember whether food is under Life or Entertainment on the Sun's home page, but one thing's for sure: Whichever category I pick, it's the wrong one. ...


I'm not sure why the Dining@Large feature is called Restaurant News and Reviews. I'm hoping one of these days my restaurant news column, Table Talk, will appear under it, because Table Talk is usually hard to find without a link. Or even better, some restaurant news stories so I won't have to actually go out and find news for my column on my own.

I'm getting a little away from the original purpose of this entry, which was to link to the Corvino review so you could read it and talk about the restaurant, but, hey, it's early.

This also gives me an opportunity to clear up one minor point. The headline (which I didn't write) says, "Storefront once home to Vespa and Juniors finally gets it right." That implies that I didn't like Vespa or Juniors, but I did. When I said in the review "the fifth time's the charm,"  I simply meant that I thought Taverna Corvino had a good chance to succeed, considering how busy it was when I was there.

I also wondered why the review didn't appear on the Entertainment page under "Restaurants & Food", but I had no trouble finding it when I did a Sub website search for the term "Elizabeth Large".

Corvino: A new/old place to bite, imbibe

Did you write this?

I don't write headlines or captions. EL

Good, because that one is ridiculous. Is Dr. Acula writing headlines now?

I'm a little hungry. I think I will imbibe/bite something/someone.

I'm a little hungry. I think I will imbibe/bite something/someone.

Will you imbide/bit something/someone in a new or an old place?

Perfunctory three stars.

Perfunctory three stars? Better than the jinxed 3.5 Death Stars.

You guys better be careful commenting on stars.

It's just Owl Meat giving me a hard time. :-) EL
