Vito’s is on White Street, across from Sandy’s Cafe, and off the normal tourist path. Housed in a location that has seen several different incarnations in recent years, Vito’s is the newest Italian pizza joint on the scene. I wanted to try it the minute I saw they were open. […]
I wish all of you celebrating Christmas a joyous holiday filled with family, friends, great food and ugly sweaters, if worn in jest. Oh, and lots of good presents. Yes, I know the holiday isn’t all about the presents, but let’s face it, as long as you are bothering to […]
