Classic. Opened New Year’s Day in 1965 and run by the Rossi family ever since, this restaurant still makes pizza using original recipes. It features an eye-catching antique bar, great views of the Portage Canal Lift Bridge and a dining room adorned with stained-glass windows and whimsical ceiling and wall murals of gnomes brewing beer. The pizzas and sandwiches bring in the crowds, but pasta and salads are also available.
