The following restaurants offer delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere and with international flavour. Each of them has a unique setting in a heritage building and a menu that offers something for everyone.

VITO’S , With three locations, Vito’s is always ready to serve you. Besides pizzas and pastas their most popular dish and biggest seller is Chicken Caesar which is a trademark registered throughout Canada. It is Boneless Breast of Chicken with Italian ham spiced with Mozerella cheese in the middle and rolled, served with rice pilaf and caesar salad. Vito’s is definitely a family business. All sauces are homemade, and nobody besides family members know what spices are in their secret recipe. The mothers contribute a mouth-watering dessert - Vito’s cake - a fluffy white cake with custard in the middle and a whipped coconut topping on the top.
