    What creates a magical night out?  Candlelight, soft live music, excellent wines, well prepared and conceived dishes, attentive wait staff?   If all of these are on your list, look for DeAngelo’s Casual Italian Dining’s next “Fine Wine and Dining Experience.”  Holding their first such event last Sunday, the restaurant was filled with appreciative customers who praised the presentation of each course and the sommelier who explained why each course was paired with a certain wine.  
    Starting off with tender tuna tartare accompanied by a light prosecco, the experience progressed through savory shrimp and grits paired with sauvignon blanc, delicious wild mushroom soup served with a smooth pinot noir, beef tortellini in a rich cream sauce accompanied by a ghizzano, melt in the mouth filet mignon with a sturdy lucente, and finally an elegant crème brulee kissed by a riondo moscato.   Empty plates were silently whisked away and glasses recharged almost unnoticeably by the wonderful wait staff, and the kitchen received applause at the end of the evening.  
    Co-owner Mike Breaux spoke enthusiastically about the next event, which he plans to hold in the first quarter of next year.   What a terrific way to introduce Central to new wine selections and course offerings.  Well done!
