The Saffiotis believe in spoiling the customer, emphasizing the personal touch. Generous portions are also a key feature, along with many dishes children will like. Saffioti grew up in Italy, moved to Toronto at the age of 15, and worked many years on cruise ships. He has over 25 years in the restaurant industry, and opened his first restaurant 10 years ago. He still loves the business, and has always been successful.

Gianni and Rose looked for over a year before finding the perfect location, and clearly it was worth the wait. After six months of remodeling, and beautiful decorating by Rose, the former flower shop is now an elegant restaurant.
