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

7th Annual Charity Golf Classic

The York Food Network’s annual Golf Tournament aims to dispel the common belief that York Region poverty is non-existent by providing programs such as Back-To-School Supplies, Food Drives and Food Bank Support.

He’s dressed in a light-coloured suit and dress shirt of a royal blue.

Headquartered in Ontario’s industrial community of Concord, Tokmakjian Group was conceived from childhood dreams and born via skilled experience. During a time when deals were sealed with a handshake, Cy set out solo at 29, unbeknown to what the future had in store for him. “I remember shaking hands with Tony DeGasperis, when we were both small businessmen beginning our journeys,” Cy, 69, reflects.
