Title
Rossini's: Live Jazz and Authentic Italian Cuisine in Vancouver
Description
When the May family took possession of 1525 Yew Street in August of 1992, little did they know, despite 20 years of collective experience in the hospitality industry, that they had instituted a legend.
Hungry not just for good pasta, but also for a neighbourhood gathering place, the local kitsilano residents came in droves. Everyone was made to feel welcome. The May family - Arni, Anne, and sons Mark, Stephen and Shayne - created an ambience of warmth and charm that soon had the locals treating Rossini's as a home away from home. And of course the news spread.
Arni and Anne are the perfect hosts who never let tha standard of cordial welcome drop. MArk oversees the varied and affordable wine cellar; Stephen keeps the bar humming with a never-failing sense of humour; and Shayne has discovered a knack for cooking. (His recipe for Black Sambuka Prawns has become justifyably famous.) The extended family all get put to work upon occasion - Shannon, Shayne's wife and Janette, Mark's Wife.
