Italian Restaurants in Sudbury, Ontario

Outdoor enthusiasts will find much to do in Sudbury, Ontario, considered the regional capital of the northern part of the province, which is also home to Canada's capital. Central to the downtown district, Lake Ramsey is edged by a nature trail, and is only one of more than 330 lakes within Sudbury. Several hiking and riding trails, parks, waterfalls and geological anomalies await the curious visitor, and great Italian food could be just the way to recharge after exploration.
