However, the new owners have done a great job redecorating the dining room, erasing all signs of past failures. A bright red wall, dark wooden Asian-inspired furniture and a brand new sushi bar that seats eight set a casually refined atmosphere in the dining room, while fresh ingredients and authentic recipes have made this locally owned spot the talk of the town (Bonita Springs, that is) pretty much since the day it opened. cassi@naplesnews.com (CHIARA ASSI)Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:01:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.marconews.com:news-Story-228825-733812eatingCHIARA ASSIMarco Island, FLReview: Home Thai Sushi Bar offers great food, great pricesmarconews.comreview-home-thai-sushi-bar-offers-great-food-greaturn:publicid:www.marconews.com:news-Story-228825-733812Change0Usablehttp://www.marconews.com/news/2010/feb/09/celebrate-tale-casa-mias-first-year/?partner=RSSOnce upon a time, there was a lady who loved to tell stories. mail@marcoeagle.com (CHRISTINE HARRISON)Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:20:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.marconews.com:news-Story-228763-733812eatingCHRISTINE HARRISONMarco Island, FLCelebrate the tale of Casa Mia’s first yearmarconews.comcelebrate-tale-casa-mias-first-yearurn:publicid:www.marconews.com:news-Story-228763-733812Change0Usablehttp://www.marconews.com/news/2010/feb/05/are-you-seafood-savvy/?partner=RSSFor many Americans, seafood is an important part of a well-balanced diet.
