Review: Da Luciano Ristorante *************************************************************** Windsor's Erie Street East is a little slice of Italy, with bakeries and cheese shops and cozy trattorias on all sides. There are also some interesting boutiques, windows filled with espresso coffee makers, Italian pottery, hand-embroidered linens and figurines, all of which make it seem we have stepped back into an earlier era. Erie Street, however, isn't the only place in Windsor to find the ambience of Italy. A few blocks east and south is Ottawa Street, another haven for ethnic restaurants. Just a couple of doors off Ottawa, at 1317 Hall Road, is Da Luciano, where more Italian than English can be heard both from the staff and other diners. Luciano Verardi, from Cosenza in southern Italy, has run a restaurant here for nearly 15 years. His 90-seat trattoria is comfortably informal, the hiss of the espresso machine mingling with the snap of the burning logs in the pizza oven. Fare ranges from those crisp-crusted, hard-to-resist pizzas to linguine with mussels, spaghetti Bolognese to the top-of-the-line item, filet mignon. The dinner salads couldn't be simpler - just fresh greens and tomato wedges in a light vinegar and oil dressing - but they are just right, as is the crusty bread and the fat green bottles (old Chianti bottles) in which house wines are served. Presentation is simple and straight forward. This has been one of my Windsor favorites for years, very much worth seeking out ---------------- Molly Abraham has covered the Southeastern Michigan restaurant scene for more than two decades.

Why? because when it's warm, most of us would rather be doing something other than cooking like relaxing in the sun, visiting with family and friends, or gardening. Pasta salads can be made ahead and when served with grilled meat, dinnertime can be hassle free which will allow for more sleeping in the sun or doing what YOU want to do. I happen to be very fond of pasta salads not only because they taste good, but because they are so versatile. They can also be a complete meal by themselves. But even though they can be a complete meal, I usually serve them with grilled meats. Here are some ideas for making pasta salads. Make a unique pasta salad by using ingredients from each of the following categories: Pasta: your choice; macaroni, spaghetti, bow ties, spiral, or whatever you want; prepare according to package directions. Dressing: your choice of purchased salad dressing, homemade dressing, or a dry mix. Tip: if you want low-cal, use a dry mix with nonfat sour cream, plain yogurt and/or reduced fat mayonnaise. Vegetables: your choice of chopped vegetables; peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, snap peas, celery, onion, cucumber, zucchini or whatever you have on hand. Sometimes the vegetables (green beans and carrots are examples) taste better if you cook them for a minute or two in boiling water. Meat (optional): pepperoni, chopped roast beef, chopped bologna, tuna, salmon, bacon, leftover meat or any meat you may have on hand. Cheese (optional): cubed or shredded mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey jack, colby or whatever you have on hand. Other (optional): chopped dill or sweet pickles, chopped fresh herbs, or chopped olives. By using this method, you get a different salad every time you make one! My favorite pasta salad is spaghetti salad. My mom first served this at a Fourth of July gathering and we have been hooked on it since. All you do is cook spaghetti noodles, drain, run them under cold water to cool them down and drain again. Add the drained noodles to a bowl, add purchased Italian Salad dressing (to taste), your choice of chopped vegetables and, if you want, chopped meat. Chill. Be sure to make pasta salads ahead of time and refrigerate them to let the flavors blend and to save preparation work at dinnertime. If for some reason you don't get to make it ahead of time, don't worry about it, the salad will still taste good. You can garnish your pasta salads with fresh herbs, or, if you don't have any fresh, sprinkle some dried herb on top. I hope you'll be making more pasta salads than ever this summer so you can spend more of your time enjoying the summer the way you want. ----------------------- Author
