1991THREE GENERATIONS · MASI FAMILY
The shop opened on Nanaimo Street more than thirty years ago and has stayed in the same family ever since — three generations behind the same glass.
The cases haven't moved. The recipes haven't changed. The third generation is on the block now, learning the cuts the way their grandparents did.
It's why 1,381 people gave the counter 4.8 stars — and keep coming back.
