Saucy’s<\/span><\/strong><\/a> in Streetsville<\/span><\/p>\n

The Grano Ristoronte<\/a><\/span>,<\/strong> a family-run Italian restaurant. The restaurant is small and intimate.\u00a0 The menu is moderately priced, the food excellent quality, very well-prepared and presented with generous portions. Our general consensus is that it is an excellent restaurant to revisit with our PROBUS groups and friends and family. Located at: 285 En\ufb01eld Pl., Unit R108, Mississauga. Ph.905 276 1234 Note: Grano Ristorante has irregular business hours and is a little hard to \ufb01nd.

Buca di Bacco<\/strong> serves fine Italian cuisine and is located in downtown Oakville. After six o\u2019clock parking is free, and we found easy parking on the street and at two municipal lots within a half block. The name \u201cBuca di Bacco\u201d started with a group of artists who first discovered Positano, Italy as a holiday location. They created a rendez-vous for dinner out of a wine cellar and invented the term \u201cBuca di Bacco\u201d from \u201cBuca\u201d, meaning \u2018hole\u2019 in Italian, refering to the cellar and \u201cBacco\u201d the Greek God of wine.
