Emilio's for Reet's birthday (yeah, it's open)

Dimly lit, tables close together, Italian music coming from the speakers....and an owner who appears at your table to play the ACCORDIAN for you! I'm a sucker for atmosphere. WE dined out for Reet's birthday; yes, WE, the waitress included herself in our party when asking if WE were ready to order. Annoying, but well-meaning. And WE liked the reincarnation of Giovanni's very much. Jonathan claimed his lasagna was not the equal of Pagliacci's, but good. My Something-All-Emilio was a seafood mixture with spinach and a white wine sauce over linguini. Very nice. (Bonus! If you get just the right seat, you can peer across the street into Blockbuster to pick out your after-dinner flick.)


Coming soon: Italian-style food in the old tradition By Jesse D. Smolin, Record-Journal staff

SOUTHINGTON — Emilio Gutic can feel the warmth of candles flickering on the tables, he can hear soft Italian music playing from the speakers, he can taste his homemade food as he eats with his guests and he can see his father, Mario, burst in from the kitchen to play a sonata on his accordion at Emilio's Italian Ristorante. - complete article

Judy & Her Sisters (and Reet) wow the Southington Apple Harvest Festival with their fancypants (the booth)!


The Harvest Honeys display their wares (and some mighty tasty cookies as well) at the 37th annual Southington Apple Harvest Festival. However, the Honeys were admonished by Festival Arts & Crafts officials for calling those who chose not to buy fancypants cookies "cheap bastards and trailer trash sluts."




An eye-pleasing fancypants display
