Fresh, made-to-order favorites in varying degrees of spicy heat await. If Italian is more your style, Casa Visone offers casual Italian favorites. The Blue-White Grill is a diner-style restaurant that has been in service since 1958 and serves you renowned coleslaw and amazing, baked-from-scratch pie. A not-to-missed retro treat. Boyd’s Steakhouse features a bar that was once owned by Al Capone.
