About 35 minutes south of Project Bench is a waterfront community on Lake Erie called Crystal Beach. And within Crystal Beach is a restaurant owned by celebrity chef Matty Matheson called Rizzo's House of Parm. This is a Niagara Region restaurant that has been on our team's list since it opened in 2022, but we've just never been able to make it work — until yesterday. If you're in the mood for some Italian-American comfort food and are somewhat proximate, I would definitely recommend it. The food is solid, the portions make me happy, and the place has a great overall vibe. But here's what I would also say: you don't need to make a special drive from Toronto. Save that for you know what.
