Eateries to donate to cancer research

In recognition of national lung month, the owners of Ottavio's and Ric's restaurants in Camarillo will offer special menus on Mon., Nov. 5 and donate 50 percent of all receipts tallied to research for mesothelioma, a rare lung cancer.

Ottavio Belvedere, who opened Ottavio's Italian restaurant, 1620 Ventura Blvd., Old Town, in 1969, was diagnosed with mesothelioma a year and a half ago.

With his son, Ric Belvedere, Ottavio opened Ric's in 2003. For more information about Ottavio's or Ric's, 2500 Las Posas Road, visit websites www.ricsrestaurant.com or www.ottavio.com.
