Greetings!  
 
 
We are blessed here at Buona Sera to have some of the finest musicians wanting to perfom at our venue.  Our very own Claire will surprise us by performing with two greats, Tom Stryker and Jimmy Vermilion.  Tom & Jimmy were here last month for a one-of-a-kind evening and Claire sang a few songs with them.  They were so impressed with her professionalism, they have invited her for a 12 song set, all Jazz (she normally sings Italian arias).  Claire will not be serving that evening.  Get your reservation in soon, as we already have many folks coming for dinner that evening.

We are thrilled to present Barbara Baxter for your dining pleasure on Saturday, April 28 for a sublime evening of soul laced jazz as you enjoy the finest Italian food.  A beautiful evening is ahead as she is joined by Peter Supersano, of Cami Thompson fame.  I can't wait.   These two will be in the dining room for this very special evening.  Reservations highly recommended.

We musn't loose sight of the wonderul food we have.  Many folks have been discovering the goodies and cocktails in our Bar.  We have a lesser priced menu for those folks haning out there.  See Chef Francesco's specials for the weekend leading into BFF Monday.

Our Monday BFF night has really taken off with people enjoying 2 for 1 cocktails.  BFF night works for the Dining Room too!  Join us for our 4th installment, Tax Time Blues--Rags to Riches. 
 
See you soon,
Cindi

Join us this Monday evening, even though taxes and fun don't belong in the same sentence--unless you have a little imagination and a sense of humor as warped as ours.  Help us take a humorus look at the whole ordeal while you enjoy 2 for 1 wine, beer and cocktails.   Where you best rags to riches attire.  Goodie bags for everyone and prizes for the best interpretations.  Finish adding up those money receipts and filling out those incomprehensible forms and drop by.
