OPENING OF SORRENTINO’S BY DI GENNARO

Featuring traditional Italian fare in a casual and friendly neighbourhood setting Sorrentino's has recruited Capo Chef and owner Giuseppe Di Gennaro to update its menu at its location in Westhills. "I was involved in redesigning the menu and making it more approachable," says di Gennaro. "The restaurant was closed for four weeks and we redid the kitchen."

The 120 seat restaurant headed by CEO Carmelo Rago will open a patio next summer. In the meantime enjoy Capo's touch at Sorrentino's.

Toast to the reopening care of Sterling wines. Great easy to drink wines.

Breaded Mozzarella with tomatoes. These cheese delights were like molten lava of cheesy goodness; what is better than fried cheese with a little hit of acidity from the marinated tomatoes?

Tasty bites of pizza hot from the oven
