West Vancouver’s Mangia e Bevi Ristorante is busy preparing for the 3^rd annual charity event, BACIO to be held January 2010.  Guests can support important medical research while enjoying the sumptuous traditional Italian cuisine.  In addition to the three-course dinner menu featured throughout the month, this year’s BACIO event will end with a special finale dinner on January 31^st.

Restaurant owners Antonio Sauro, Robert Parrott, and Doug Grisdale started the BACIO (Because a Cure is Obtainable) event in 2008.  In the past two years they have raised a total of $27,300 for the Lions Gate Oncology Clinic and BC Children’s Hospital Oncology Research.  They plan to increase the total substantially this year by tempting guests with an irresistible three-course menu for the attractive price of $40.

This year the BACIO menu will change weekly, featuring the cuisine of a different region of Italy every seven days.

January 2-8:  NORTH – Piemonte and Veneto

January 9-15:  WEST – Toscana and Lazio

January 16-22:  EAST – Abruzzo and Marche

January 23-30:  SOUTH – Campania and Sicilia

The January 31^st dinner, called “Mangere, Bere, Vivere” (to eat, to drink, to live) will consist of four courses paired with complementary wines, plus a silent auction, for a truly fitting finale to a month of incomparable Mediterranean flavours.
