WOOD-FIRED PIZZA! Need we say more? Don't let the full parking lot or the people waiting for a table scare you off. We have never waited more than 15 minutes, and we always wait less time than what they tell us. They have pasta, too!

Long-time Mount Vernon family just (June 2018) re-opened this classic Italian restaurant. Their food is a good as ever, and we locals LOVE the Mazza's salad : heavy on the garlic, just right on the gorgonzola, and very addicting! Yum!

Roscoe Village is one of the last places to see where the Ohio Erie Canal passed through and what life was like at that time. You can also take a canal boat ride, pulled by horses on the canal path! Before the railroads were built, the canal system was the transportation to distribute goods and people from the Great Lakes inland. A really neat slice of history, with enough modern conveniences to make it a nice stop.

The Amish country of Ohio is now bigger than the settlements of Pennsylvania. These people live a life from yester-year, believing that modern conveniences (such as electricity) reduce our interdependence of a close community, thereby leading to the breakdown of society. They are God-centered, dress in old-fashioned clothing, travel by horse and carriage, and speak in "Pennsylvania Dutch". A whole culture to be discovered!
