PLYMOUTH, MICH (WXYZ) — With Thanksgiving being different this year, Cantoro Italian Market &Trattoria has created a twist on two of their holiday side dish ideas. The recipes are posted below.
Cantoro Italian Market & Trattoria is inspired by the famous Italian markets in Rome, Venice and Palermo, with locations in Livonia (19710 Middlebelt) and Plymouth (15550 N. Haggerty), Michigan.
The Italian market is the largest in Michigan with a multi-award-winning restaurant attached. Throughout the year, owners Michael and John Fallone travel to their father Mario’s Italian birthplace in search of the best food and wines to bring back to Cantoro, items found nowhere else in the United States.
