DINING OUT
All, NopoIi
By JOHN M. ROSSON

1t seems like ages ago Chats
how much you can miss it,
but it was only last July.
We were standing on the
ancient seawall that rings the
Bay of Naples. 1t was evening
almost dark, and there was lit
tie left of the sun. We were
gazing II in the distance - to-
ward Capri and the Mediter-
ranean.
We must have stood there
an hour, part Of the time, al
least, aware that our four-week
vacation was almost over,
What, we asked ourselves
could possibly be more beauti-
full than the Bay of Naples or
a clear summer night. the
moon just beginning " ap-
pear?
Venice? Florence Rome?
We had been there, too, but
for the moment we almost for
got it. We were standing like
a speck on the ocean, infinitely
small but never more aware OF
our immediate surroundings
The chattering Italian young
sters Dragged but happy romp-
ing along the Naples water
front; the inevitable Italian
vendors" hawking their wares
in spite of the dark Cor be-
cause of it,; the buzz OF
Naples itself (as only italian
cities can buzz at nightfall
and finally, the generalitieS-
the poverty-stricken area along
the wall (somehow it boasted
hundreds of television anten-
nae rising out of slums), and
the penthouse apartments and
luxury hotels hundreds of feet
to the rear and up on the hills
which overlook the squalor and
the beautiful bay below.
Perhaps it was the salt all
that made us hungry. Nothing
in the world, we thought could
possibly be better than to have
our dinner at a "ristorante
Italiano."
We had been in many ar
Italian restaurant, and with
out a single disappointment
This included the aforemen'
toned cities and a numbel
of smaller places in between
We turned from the seawal
and headed up the steep hill
Our goal was the restauran
district. Once we reached vi;
Roma, the clty'S main street
we were there.
AS we had found in othe
Italian cities, restaurants wer,
everywhere so our choice wa
simple. If memory serves u
right we entered the RiStorant

portant, it seems, is that this
week we got that same feeling
and of all places here in Wash
ington.
It's the A. V. Ristorante
Italiano at GOT New York ave-

We couldn't see the Bay OF
Naples, the Amalfi drive, Capri
or the cameo factory we visited
on the way to Pompeii, but we

The tablecloths are of RED

Here and there there's g

haps false) hanging from Q

For the most part the walls
are plain and the floor uncar-

Sebastian's heart with joy.
The. Byrd fame is not purely
local. to be sure, but has spread
well beyond the District line in
all directions. He takes off peri
odically for concert appearances
and brief stays at other eStab-
lishments where audiences ap-
preciate versatility and musical
senSitivity. Just recently he re-
turned from a rather extensive
South American good will tour
during which he demonstrated
that there also are those north
of Latin America who know
what a guitar was meant to be.
The Byrd fame should be
spread even farther tonight
when a program called Port
folio" is aired over WTOP-9
at 10 o'clock. If you've never
encountered the wizardry Mr..
B. has at his fingertips, this
session should make it clear
what all the shouting's about.
1t was recorded on video tape
earlier this week before an en-
thusiaStic audience of as many
of the faithful as could be
crowded into the Showboat
Lounge after four TV cameras
and crews were installed there
Charlie was in fine fettle
throughout the recording proc
ess. With instrumental groups
of varying size small, medium
and large-backing him up,
he brought off a virtually awe
inspiring demonstration of his
range. The Byrd gamut runs
from Bach to modern classical
composers, from folk song zone,
just to prove there can be mu-
sic in these, too to modern
jazz. plus something tn a t
sounded exactly like what we
used to call swing.
There are some first rate
compositions written expressly
for the Byrd guitar in his rep
ertoire, too. He may have a
slight leaning in the direction
of Villa-Lobos and some of the
items he brought back from
the South American jaunt, but
he plays no favoriteS. He ap-
plies the same superior tech
