Dinner is six courses with a sampling of Corsican beverages for $100 per person. Contact ameyer@texas.net for reservations and payment options. Saturday, Feb. 2, 7pm.

We got a deluge of snack suggestions for Super Bowl Sunday but none more inviting than the football-shaped pizzas from Austin’s own Mangia Pizza (six locations around town; www.mangiapizza.com). Those crazy Mangia guys will even customize the pizza with your favorite team’s logo or revered player’s number. And their catering department (374-0800) can put together everything you’ll need for parties of 12 or more: football-shaped pizzas, salads, cookies, and brownies. Sunday, Feb. 3.
