Reason #4 to love Panzanella:
All of our seafood is sustainably raised or caught.
This month at Panzanella is dedicated to the glorious oyster! Every Lunch, Dinner and Brunch in March, we will have at least one special dish that includes luscious, beautiful oysters.

Oysters are not only delicious, but they're also one of the most nutritionally well balanced of foods, containing protein, carbohydrates and lipids. The National Heart and Lung Institute suggest oysters as an ideal food for inclusion in low-cholesterol diets. Oysters are an excellent source of vitamins A, B1(thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), C (ascorbic acid) and D (calciferol). Four or five medium size oysters supply the recommended daily allowance of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus.

'Ciao Roma'
photographs by Geneva Sophia

Artist Reception: Monday, March 15, 2010, 5:30 - 7:30 pm

'Ciao Roma' is the beginning of a young woman's journey of survival. At 18 years old, Geneva Sophia was coming out of a class at 1:00 in the afternoon, when she was brutally attacked. The resulting head injuries left her with amnesia, short-term memory loss, and other disabilities. Her dreams, memories, and essential parts of her identity were lost in an instant. She now lived in a painful world without familiar touchstones. Her mother gave her a camera to help her remember what she had done each day, and with the hope that Geneva would begin to create new memories. The camera became Geneva Sophia's new destiny.

In this exhibit, we see some of the very first photographs Geneva took with that camera. These beautiful images—compelling even without their story—document the vision and work of a survivor, at the point of beginning a new life.
