The Tops Seeds: Cantina Italiana vs Villa Roma. Boston Revue crowns it's Champ.

The March Maddness competition has come to a close...

March Maddness was just that.  Lots of food, lots of calories and lots of tough competition.  Maddness!

As you may recall, the initial Final Four were: Cronin's Publick House, Fleming's Steakhouse, Villa Roma and Cantina Italiana.  It was a filling and tasty contest, but there can only be one winner on Boston Revue. 


We already know that Cronin's and Fleming's were bumped.  And we also already know that Cantina Italiana scored and impressive 43 out of 48 points.   



With 43 points to beat, Cantina does stand out!



How will VR rank?  Will it oust Cantina Italiana?

It's definitely a photo finish, 'buds.  The winner was the best by just 1 point!  Both Italian cuisine, friendly service, careful and clean decor and presentation.  While neither are perfect, each experience was worth having.  One far off down the Cape, one right in the heart of the North End.  They could not be further apart but closer in many ways.  As a diner, my 'buds were glad we got to patron both.

I could go on and on forever, trying to sound eloquent, but you know, that doesn't always work for me.  I could go off on a tangent.  That always works.  Instead, let's rip off the band-aid and crown our Champ!

The Champ of the 2011 Boston Revue March Maddess is: Cantina Italiana! 

That 43rd point really helped you, because Villa Roma was on your heels with a challenging and respectable 42 points.  To you, the reader who suggested Cantina Italiana, you will become the recipient of our coveted Phantom Gourmet Gift Card!  I will contact you directly.  (Keeping the anonymity, forks.  The interwebs are scary!)

Thank you to all who participated in this.  We had many submissions, but only 4 could be chosen.  If you recall, from my previous blogs, I am planning some summer activities/contests, so keep your eyes peeled for those.  And note, we'll be on a mini hiatus during the end of April, when we'll be DESTINATION Revuing from Aruba.  Jealous?

Another big thank you for reading, participating and enjoying.  Stay tuned for many more blogs.  Just because the contest is over doesn't mean I'm going to stop eating!!!
