Know it all.
Citified.ca is Victoria's most comprehensive research resource for new-build homes and commercial spaces.

Billy's Bistro in Centennial Square has closed, it has a sign in the window from the landlord (the City) saying they have changed the locks because of abandonment (dated Jan 30th IIRC).
Not much luck in that location. Wasn't that a bakery last year?

A couple years ago it was a restaurant that specialized in desserts, yes.

A little taste of Rome

Legend has it the twins Romulus and Remus founded Rome, though it was Romulus who finished it and gave it his name after killing his brother.
Well, there's a decidedly less-violent parallel being established deep in the heart of Saanich as a pair of Roman brothers are establishing a little slice of Rome on the Island with La Dolce Vita restaurant[...]

This is the old Bagga Pasta in Shelbourne Plaza, next to A&W. It has been La Dolce Vita for awhile, but recently sold to this pair of scoundrels. HAHA, j/k, I know Alex & Fredo and they're great guys - your typical, passionate Italian caffe owners.
They've always been associated with the food industry - Alex on the caffe/barista side of things, although he's been working as a courier for awhile. This is good for him, as he's a bit mercurial and I think he's finally figured out what he wants to be when he grows up.

And I think Fredo, who's a bit more serious, opened up Portofino Bakery in Broadmead Village a few years back before selling it. That was a hell of a bakery (it may still be, haven't hung out there in years).
I've been to their house for dinner and man, if they can cook like their mother and (late) father, these guys ought to do well.
