Newsletter January 2006

2006-01-24T16:42:00.000Z

We hope that you have had a very peaceful Christmas and wish you all a very Happy New Year. For us it has been our busiest time and we are now looking forward to our 37th year in business. We have a few plans to spruce up the old place but will endeavour to retain what we truly believe to be a comfortable and welcoming environment for our customers.

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH – EAT OUR FOR £5 OFFER
We are currently participating in The Daily Telegraph Eat out for £5 offer. Customers wishing to take advantage of this promotion are required to collect vouchers from The Daily Telegraph and to observe the conditions set out by the newspaper. Whilst we are taking part in this promotion we shall still be offering our Regional Evening Set Menu (£16.50) and our Lunchtime Set Menu (£8.50 - £9.50). Further details can be found on our website or on display in the restaurant.

SARDINIAN NIGHT – MONDAY 30TH JANUARY
Now here’s an opportunity to get lost on the magical island of Sardinia. Apparently our chosen destination has it’s own breed of donkey which is unique to this idyllic spot in the Mediterranean, but we shan’t let that worry us too much. We were overwhelmed by the tremendous response we had for our Neapolitan Evening and just as before there will be many interesting dishes to sample. The price will be £16.50 per person and this includes a three-course meal with coffee accompanied by speciality liquor.

VALENTINES DAY
If you book for four persons or more on Valentines Day evening you’ll receive a complimentary bottle of Prosecco (the Italian version of champagne – just a little livelier than the French stuff!). For those of you who wish to go down the more romantic route and dine as a couple we’ll help you along with a bottle of the house champagne for £15. (The French slightly less lively version.)

MOTHERING SUNDAY – 26 MARCH
Once again this year we will be open for lunch on Mothering Sunday. We offer a three-course set lunch menu with coffee for £18.50. This menu has a varied selection of starters with roast dishes and a vegetarian option for the main course, and because it’s Mothering Sunday we naturally have reduced prices for children and the children’s set menu available as well.

AND FINALY
A big thanks to all our customers who have supported us through 2005. We are very much committed to retaining what we have done for the past 37 years; you may even have noticed that we now have our original menu sleeves and business cards back. And just in case any of you out there are wondering if our ‘sprucing up the old place’ means a major overhaul then please don’t panic. You should know us much better by now; it really does mean just a lick of paint.

Best Wishes

Elio and Tracey

NEAPOLITAN EVENING – MONDAY 7^th NOVEMBER 7.30pm

Summer has been a time of change for us here at Elio’s. We are delighted to welcome on board Antonio Aprea, our new head chef, who joined us in July. Antonio is originally from Naples and has spent many years working is some of London’s finest restaurants. Many of you will have already experienced his delicious cuisine, but if you haven’t had the opportunity yet, Antonio would love you to come along to our Neapolitan Evening. There will be many dishes to sample and you’ll have an opportunity to meet Antonio and put your questions to him. The price is £15 per person and includes 3 courses, coffee and speciality liquor.

A LITTLE BIT OF RETRO

After much deliberation we have finally decided to go back 36 years to the first menu sleeve we ever had. For those of you who are unaware of what our original menu looked like (we know there are a few of you out there who do!) we have a framed one on display in the restaurant. We even have the same printer producing it and he hopes to have it ready in the near future. Apart from some additional dishes there will be no other changes to our current a la carte menu.

SET MENU

Throughout October and November we will be offering our Regional Evening Set Menu (£16.50) and our Lunchtime Set Menu (£8.50 - £9.50). Our Christmas menu will be available from 1^st December. Details of all our menus can be found on our website or on display in the restaurant.

WINES OF THE MONTH – recommended by Mauro at Vinissimo

Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco £14.95

This white wine has a rich and intense scent of fruit and flowers. It is fresh and soft to taste with tones of citrus fruits and quince.

LACRYMA CHRISTI DEL VESUVIO ROSSO £15.50

This red wine has a fruity aroma with hints of cherry, raspberry and blackberry. Very soft and elegant in flavour, the perfect autumn warmer.

AND FINALY

Well done and thank you to all the children who have produced so many lovely pictures currently gracing the walls on the staircase. It was a very difficult choice, but after some typically heated Italian debate, we have decided to award prizes to the following children

Bianca Gamble aged 11

Robert Davidson aged 8

Faith aged 4

Congratulations – and we very much look forward to receiving more of your artwork when you’re dining with us.

NEWSLETTER - ESTATE ITALIANO

2005-07-15T00:08:00.000+01:00

Italian summer – well not quite, but for many of us it is the holiday season. We have decided to forego any events over the next couple of months but shall remain open throughout August. However, in order to cope with staff holidays we will be closed Monday – Thursday lunchtimes from 25^th July through to 11^th August.

SET MENU

We are still offering our Regional Evening Set Menu (£16.50) and our Lunchtime Set Menu (£8.50 - £9.50). Further details can be found on our website or on display in the restaurant.

QUIZ NIGHT

There was some pretty fierce competition and final scores were very impressive. We were truly overwhelmed by the generosity of all of you who attended and managed to raise £84 for charity. A huge thank you to all of you who came along and donated and we are planning to hold another Quiz Night later in the year.

AVAILABLE FOR HIRE

We are not usually open on a Sunday, but we do occasionally host private functions. We are happy to consider any private function, with provision of a full home made buffet. Prices and further details are available upon request.

WINE OF THE MONTH - PINOT GRIGIO ROSE

Very pretty with pale copper-pink tones full bodied with dry fresh fruity flavours, this is how we would describe this new wine. Perfect for summer so come and give it a try.

THANK YOU

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers and friends for their good wishes and cards they sent Mrs ‘Elio’ during her recent illness. We are pleased to say she is now very much on the mend and making a good recovery.

AND FINALY

If the heat of summer gets too much for you (well there’s always a chance), and slaving over a hot stove isn’t your style then don’t forget our restaurant is fully air conditioned. Come and chill out and let us get hot under the collar – our chefs assure us when the temperature rises our kitchen offers the best sauna in town!

NEW SATURDAY OPENING TIMES FROM 2^ND APRIL

From the 2^nd April we will now open on Saturday evenings at 6.30pm instead of 7pm. We know this earlier time will suit some of you better, especially those of you with younger children. Between 6.30pm and 7.30pm on a Saturday we will be also offering our £16.50 Evening Set menu alongside our a la carte. Call it Ora Felice!

MONDAY 25^TH APRIL – QUIZ NIGHT

Start swotting now for our quiz night. There will be prizes for the winners and we will also be holding a raffle. The price per person will be £26, this includes a three course dinner with coffee and half a carafe of house wine per couple. We wanted to make this a fund raising event but rather than simply donating the money to a particular charity we thought it would be a good idea to sponsor a child. By doing this all our customers know exactly where their money is going and we will receive regular updates on the child we are sponsoring. We are currently researching charities which provide this service and will let you know our final decision in due course. £1 of the ticket price will go directly to our fund to start the ball rolling.

After many requests we have decided to go back to offering a regional set menu. New month - new region. So why not take a tour of Italy with us and just like the old days take a trip around eleven regions and get one free. £16.50 per person or dine for two people at £21.50 each and we’ll include a bottle of specially selected regional wine. The set menu price covers three courses including coffee.

MONDAY 6^TH JUNE – WINE EVENING

Our last wine evening was great fun and we have had lots of requests for another. This time we will feature wines from the region of Tuscany. The price per person is £27 and will include a three course meal with coffee, a glass of specially selected wine to accompany each course and an aperitif when you arrive. So why not come along and get immersed in the foothills of Florence. We can’t guarantee the weather but we’ll guarantee you some very fine wines and food.

SUNDAY 19^TH JUNE – FATHERS DAY

For all you Dads out there we shall be open for lunch from 12.30pm. As well as our a la carte we will have a Sunday roast set menu.
