Columbia SC: Special dinner
Thanks; this is a birthday dinner for 4 of us. Ethnic is not likely to work for my family (my folks are pretty straightforward in therir tastes--they typically go to the Blue Marlin for a night out) so I will certainly look at Diannes, about which I had not thought.
Best wishes and thanks,

Columbia SC: Special dinner
Hi all,
Although I grew up in Columbia I've been gone for 30 years. We have a special family occasion coming up in August. I am leaning toward Divino but would welcome other opinions as to really special places in Columbia these days.
Thanks--

NC family coming to visit. Tell me about Lou Manalti's pizza, please.
Anyone living outside of Chicagoland who wants this kind of pizza should definitely try having Lou's pizzas delivered. You can find the website at http://www.tastesofchicago.com/, or call them at 1-800-LOU-TO-GO (those of us living here have heard Ms. Malnati and the kids singing those commercials at Christmastime for years!). My wife and I have given pizzas by long distance delivery many times to family around the country, and although it's not the same as coming to a restaurant and eating it freshly prepared, it's a good experience.
