Warm summerish Friday evenings should be spent in an Italian restaurant with a light oil-based pasta and white wine. Somehow all the Italian restaurants have vanished from my neighbourhood- not merely the famous ones of thirty years ago, but the family-run ones as well. Bloor St rents, I suppose. So had a sandwich at The Butler's Pantry, because it will probably be closed come December.

A shame all round, both the old restaurants and Butler's. Of course, I'm remembering the former with '80s menues and '80s prices. Italian lately runs to fiddly fusion and cream sauces and $18 an entree.

Sigh. Sometimes one wants the classics as one remembers them.
