Miss Italia Restaurant
Dennis and Toula Varvarigos personally welcome guests to their cheerful, colourful restaurant with maple furnishings, and braided garlic and dried pepper accents. Meals begin with a hot loaf with garlic and tomato fillets. Homemade sauces incorporate fresh seasonal ingredients (including herbs grown on their balcony), a commitment the owners call "freshissimo!" Some recipes have been faithfully followed for 50 years. Dennis pours Grappa, Frangelico, Campari and Galliano, and makes Miss Italia coffee from 12 liquors. The balcony seats 25. Child portions are available on request.
