Scope and content
Interior view of the Cortina Villa restaurant. The restaurant was designed so that brick archways led from one dining area to another. A definite rustic atmosphere prevailed with checkered tablecloths and wrought iron rails. Lattices with entwined flowring vines decorated the walls. Cortina Villa, formerly Alphonse's, provided a hearty menu of Italian and American meals. The restaurant was located in the 2400 block of Pacific Ave., on the ground level of the Hotel Merkle. It would celebrate its grand opening the weekend of November 18, 1971. (TNT ad 11-18-71, A-15)
