My pasta habit admittedly requires a weekly mountain of spaghetti. And spicy tomato sauce-1 can%u2019t get enough. So you can imagine my raptureover discovering that the Lutece of Italian cuisine, right here in our own Park Slope.A pretty strong stand, you say. But had you dined with me recently at Villa Giulia, 160 Seventh Avenue, you%u2019d agree.It was lunchtime when I dined at Villa Giulia with my friend Pat, a quiet time for a leisurely meal, since the restaurant, by virtue of its location, is most active for dinner. Al Balestra, owner and chef, was born here in the States but grew up in Italy, where he was apprenticed to a chef at age nine! For him, cooking is both a pleasure and a profession, and he and his son, Fulvio, do all the cooking for the restaurant, which is open seven days a week, from 11 to 11.We let M r. Balestra select for us from the varied, extensive menu that4>includes both traditional entrees and dishes of his own creation. To begin, an order for two of homemade tortellini, yes, homemade. Mr. Balestra does it himself, right at Villa Giulia. His tortellini, large pasta cheerios stuffed with meat (veal, chicken, beef and lamb), served in a marvelous thick cheese sauce and accompanied by generous goblets of chilled white wine, was a sumptuous prelude to our main course.For me, Balestra recommended Involdinidi Petto di Polo, rolled breast of chicken stuffed with eggplant and proscuitto, and literally smothered w ith mushrooms. Lip-smacking bellissimo! Pat requested a more traditional dish so that we could let our readers know about not only the specialties of the house, but also the %u2018 %u2018bread and butter%u2019 %u2019 of Italian cuisine. And let it be known, if your knee-jerk reflex order in an Italian restaurant is veai parmigiana, the variety served up at Villa Giulia will evoke pupil-dilating ecstasy. Tender veal, blanketed in mozarella cheese and snappy tomato sauce covered the entire plate. It%u2019s delightful to note that even in thesedays of spiraling costs, when cutting corners is ax . . i i : %u2014l. xi%u2014 _ _I U I I - I I I I I C J U U , l i l t ? WVCII%u201d C lf/ %u201cpointed and we! I-accessorized meat dishes at Villa Giulia are really fine-all the way. Good to look at and delicious to eat. The meat is choice, and not merely masked by garnishing.Balestra joined us as we ambled through our dessert cou rse- homemade spumoni and a homemade cannoli for each of us, plus dee p-brew ed espresso served with lemon in a sugar-rimmed glass. Pat and I were delighted to be regaled with his stories since we were so set upon the all-consuming business of consuming all, that we had little energy or inclination for polite table talk between ourselves. Mr. Balestra spoke of growing up in Rome, of working as chef on the Orient Express throughout Europe, his return to the U.S. with his family, of Women%u2019s Lib, the price of clams, and his love of cooking-all punctuated with exhortation to the two of usto%u2018%u2018Mangia, mangia!%u201dTwo hours and heavenknows-how-many-calories later, Pat and I ambled out into the sunlight in search of a wheelbarrow to roll us on home. An extraordinary meal under our loosened belts and a marvelous sojourn with Mr. Balestra, we were ready to indulge in that old world notion of a siesta. Now I see how easy it is to come to a halt midday. \quoth this reviewer, \more!%u201dSchedule C onference On A rtsEight days of participatory workshops and seminars in theater, music, dance and technical skills will comprise %u201c Not An Ordinary Conference,%u201d a unique exploration in the arts due for May unveiling under the joint banner of the Brooklyn Arts and Culture Association, Inc.
