Craving comfort food? Join us for Italian!

If ever there was a time one needs comfort food, it has to be the month of September, doesn't it?  This month signifies the end of summer (more or less), vacations are over and it's back-to-school time.  Surely now is the time to pop into McGill's and enjoy the perfect comfort food in the form of our Italian cuisine.  This is one menu that never disappoints. 

But . . . , welcome to September and Italian week!  It's really not all doom and gloom, apart from the rain we are having today.  I'm sure there's still some summer left.  We can help soothe the transition into fall-like temperatures with rich and creamy pasta dishes, fresh bread, flavourful cheeses and fine wine--just a hint of what is awaiting you this week.  Satisfy your craving for comfort food and sample some of our Italian cuisine available right here in New Minas.  All of our dishes are freshly prepared, but we can assure you the wait is definitely worth it!  (Oh, and if you're wondering if there will be sangria, I've got your back.  I requested it be made for this week yesterday.  You weren't wondering?  Just me then.)

Give us a call today on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are open to serve you three nights a week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  This is relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere at its very finest.  Find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas. We'd love for you to join us.

Buon Appetito!!!
