Dr. Giovanni Delevadova Dentistry: Passionate Practitioners

Enter the doors of Dr. Giovanni Delevadova’s delightful dental office and you will find a real tree, clubhouse and two of the most genuine dentists you’ll ever meet. Caught in a collage of testimonials taped to the wall, you will also find an insignia of success. “Dear Dr. Delevadova, thank you for taking out my teeth today so that it didn’t hurt too bad. I can’t wait for the Tooth Fairy to come,” writes one of his younger fans. It’s no surprise that some of Delevadova’s patients have been with him for over 20 years and even travel from Italy, New York, Texas and Saskatchewan twice a year just for a cleaning.

Delevadova began his career almost 30 years ago by performing maxillofacial surgery on victims of severe trauma back home in Bucharest, Romania. “That experience made me like the idea of fixing Read more

Wake Up and Smell Alfa Cappuccino!

Do you recall when you enjoyed your first sip of coffee? Chances are your intense love affair with caffeine is still going strong, as you yearn for its rich aroma each morning. “It must be of a sweet taste – not bitter – and it must have a few centimetres of froth or schiuma, as we call it. And when you pour the sugar into the coffee, it should be allowed to sit for a few seconds. It is an art. No doubt about it,” says Ross Cammalleri, owner and general manager of Alfa Cappuccino. This, his sharp, impassioned and tempting description of the ideal espresso, sends the java-obsessed on frenzied coffee runs.

Alfa Cappuccino is an importing mecca: an impressive 20,000 sq. ft. of espresso machines, coffee makers, whole coffee beans, coffee grinders and restaurant equipment and accessories. Ross, along with his brother Sam, began Alfa Cappuccino in 1986. “This coming October it will be 23 years,” explains Ross. Read more

Tremonti Ristorante: Moves Culinary Mountains

A definitive leader in fine Italian dining for over a decade, Tremonti Ristorante has pleased the palates of Vaughan residents since 1986. This long-term success is without a doubt a testament to its gastronomic flair and steadfast commitment to culinary achievements.

Named after three famous mountains in the Abruzzo region of Italy, Tremonti is known for its fresh seafood and fine-cut meats. With such unique dishes as the renowned pappardelle and wild bore, Tremonti’s menu is anything but boring. “A lot of people come here for our homemade gnocchi in a pheasant ragu,” says owner Claudio Librando. “And of course, our wine list is designed to quench any demand.” Read more
