But, she still took on the challenge of starting her own restaurant all while starting a family at the same time. It’s been 30 years since then, and Ristorante Sotto Sotto has become a prestigious restaurant in downtown Oakville.

Verace offers authentic, Neapolitan cuisine. Their house-made ingredients make for a genuine Italian experience.

Verace’s collection of light and savoury starters are sure to whet your appetite. We’d recommend the Polpo Alla Griglia, consisting of grilled octopus and vegetables. And the Branzino paired with asparagus.

Verace are also masterful purveyors of pasta. Seafood lovers should try the Spaghetti Vongole or the Squid Ink Tagliatelle.

Pair any dish with one of their signature cocktails or wines, like the refreshing Strawberry Fizz Cocktail, perfect for those warm summer days on the patio (see below).

Verace’s authenticity truly emerges in their pizza, which is baked in a custom-built Neapolitan wood oven and finished with high quality toppings. Try the Pizza Margherita and the Pizza Napoletana.
