He opened Vic’s Ristorante Italiano in 1998 and converted it from a simple Pizzeria to a family friendly, casual dinning restaurant that locals and tourists have begun to call their own.

The variety of dishes featuring family recipes for pasta, chicken, veal, seafood as well as homemade Italian pastries, desserts and gelatos,is complimented by an extensive wine selection covering all regions of Italy. Everyone will find something to enjoy.

The patio has an authentic Italian café feel, while the beautifully painted murals of the Italian landscape; by local artist Paul Eade, creates a sincere intimate atmosphere. (from http://www.vicsitalianrestaurant.com)
