In the summer of 2006, I came across a nice Italian man renovating a storefront on Main Street near Heritage Hall.  I dropped in regularly to see the progress and to chat with Mario about the texture of the walls and the floor and his plans for a neighbourhood coffee shop.  Since then, Caffe Rustico has become a favourite place to drop in and be greeted with an effusive “Ciao, bella!” along with friendly service.  There are Italian and Spanish conversation groups that meet there weekly, and several regular customers.  Mario has created a wonderful community space on Main Street.
