 Madisonians Tanner Jensen (sous chef) and Corrado Corrias (owner and chef)


Biz Buzz Goes Italian in a BIG Way

Biz Buzz By Dianne Lively Yost Omg! Momma’s done lost her ever-livin’ mind! She’s ridin’ all over town in an Italian Vespa! What in the Sam Hill! Give me that extra helmet Momma and take me for a ride! And speakin’ of Italian . . . when you’re cravin’ fine Italian food honey there’s a spot at Lake Oconee that will flat fix you up! First you’ve got to collect some really fun friends who know all ‘bout wine and fine dinin’ and then head to da Corrado Ristorante located at 1061 Village Park in Greensboro! It’s just right smack up the road and you can take your Vespa if you go the back roads! The best part is that da Corrado Ristorante owners Corrado and April Corrias live right smack here in Madison and honey their Italiano Sous Chef is none other than Madisonian Tanner Jensen, son of Amelia’s owner Kim Jensen Watts! Love it! Ok so get reservations (706-453-1110) ‘cause honey this place is (now wave your hands like an Italian) Molto Poplare! And, I do recommend ridin’ a fancy Vespa cause as soon as you do, you automatically talk like a bona fied Italian! Ok so my handsome husband and I just dined there with our famous Morgan County friends Peter and Karen Wibell and honey Peter knows his menus and his wines! Perfecto! The food is just incredible, the wine amazing but my favorite part of the da Corrado experience is the singing! Literally. Many of the waiters and waitresses have amazing singing abilities but when Corrado sings the whole restaurants stops in amazement and joy! Beside Corrado, there’s only one other person in the world who can sing an exceptional Happy Birthday, and that’s Artrose Lyn Cooper! The difference is that with Corrado you get a fabulous Italian meal with a red sauce that makes you scream: Molto delizioso! Ok so y’all head over to da Corrado’s and treat yourself! Right so, y’all don’t forget to get your tickets to the Low Country Boil event benefiting the Humane Society of Morgan County! This event goes down on April 8 at 6 p.m. and tickets are only $50 and includes fabulous food and two totties! Whaaa! Plus there’s gonna be a huge Corn Hole Tournament with fab prizes: a Town 220 gift card and two Gabby’s certificates at Lake Oconee’s marvelous Ritz Carlton! Ding dang! Y’all better start practicing! Oh and don’t forget the live music with Dwight Wilson and Classic City Soul! This event is gonna be a blast! Ok so the Corn Hole Tournament starts at 6 p.m., food at 7:30 and music at 8 p.m.! Call the Humane Society of Morgan County at 706-343-9977 for tickets! Hey and mark your calendars for Madison Fest! It’s slated for April 22!
