IAA Italian Language/Dinner Night

The IAA will be sponsoring an Italian Language/Dinner Night on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012, at DiFabio’s Casapela, which is located at 2311 Frankfort Ave. in the same location occupied previously by Ray Parrella’s.  The event will begin with socializing and the introduction of some basic Italian phrases from 6-6:30 p.m. in DiFabio’s private dining room reserved exclusively that evening for the IAA event. Our Italian language host for the evening will be IAA member Ampelio Isetti.  At 6:30 p.m., we begin making dinner selections from DiFabio’s complete regular menu.  DeFibio’s features a complete list of antipastai (prices ranging from $4 to $8), a variety of pasta dishes (e.g., spaghetti, lasagna, manicotti) served with a choice of sauces made fresh daily (prices ranging $11 [pasta with marinara sauce] to $14 [Lasagna]), fish dishes (prices ranging from $17 to $19), and meat and chicken dishes (prices beginning at $15); all entrées are accompanied with a fresh salad.  DiFabio’s also features an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages, beers, wines, and cocktails.  DiFabio’s complete menu is available online at www.difabios.com. Throughout dinner, Ampelio will continue to offer language support and answer questions.
