26 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday June 11, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com F O R F AT H E R ' S D AY New Oakville Restaurant, a true family affair For anyone looking for the type of family restaurant that provides quality home-cooked Italian food, look no further than Oakville Restaurant & Pizza on Speers Rd. With a pleasant, informal atmosphere, the restaurant is appealing to families of all ages. Oakville Restaurant & Pizza is owned by local entrepreneur Merita Imetovski, a delightful and enthusiastic young businesswoman who grew up in her own family's restaurant in Connecticut. "My dad owned a restaurant for twenty years, and it was a favourite place for me and my siblings growing up," she says. "Yes, we worked there, but we also got to know the regular customers and they watched us grow up, go to our proms, get married, all that. It's the kind of thing I want my own family to experience so it's really not just work for me, it's a way of life." Merita moved to Oakville, with her husband, two years ago. She has a 14 month old son and last fall, missing the restaurant business, she started plans to open her own place. Finding a vacant restaurant space, she's renovated and invested in quality appliances and a large, walk-in refrigerator to accommodate all the fresh food she and her staff prepare daily. "My father always impressed upon us growing up that fresh really is best," comments Merita. "Nothing we serve in this restaurant has ever been frozen. It is all fresh, made daily." Her father is also her mentor and he and his wife have moved to Oakville to help Merita get the business started and take care of her son. "It's a true family affair," smiles Merita. "One we hope to enjoy for a long time." Oakville Restaurant & Pizza, serving generous portions of fresh, wholesome pasta, sandwiches, calzones, and pizza is open 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. The restaurant also provides free local delivery. Seniors receive a 10 per cent discount. Oakville Restaurant & Pizza is located at 1470 Speers Rd., next to Oakville Kia.
