Nowadays it’s easy to find a fast food restaurant on nearly every corner, but discovering a good hole-in-the-wall location that will serve up amazing homemade dishes? Well, that can be a bit harder to come by! Right out in the heart of the western half of our Finger Lakes, the tiny city of Canandaigua has so much to offer to anyone who visits.

Home to just over 10,000 residents, the tiny city sits along the northern shore of Canandaigua Lake.
