Hi All:

I am helping to spread this news for a good cause. Il Nido, an Italian restaurant located in downtown Vancouver, is supporting the victims of the recent devastating earthquake in L?Aquila, Italy.

So, Il Nido is presenting the Dine Out for Italy event on this Thursday, April 23rd. The time is from 5:30PM until closing and is held at their restaurant at 780 Thurlow Street.

In this event, 20% of proceeds from the evening?s dinner seating will be donated to funds helping victims of the earthquake. Vancouverites will be given a chance to make selections from Il Nido?s new spring menu, and help out the communities whose rich history has inspired a taste of Italy right here in Vancouver.

They had just launched their new spring menu and it’s good time to check it out and help a worthy cause.
