![]() ![]() ![]() _______________________________________________________________________ Welcome to Canino's Italian Restaurant! ![]() Dear friends,
Working alongside my father and grandfather at Canino's pizzeria in Denver, I learned how to make the finest pizza and the freshest bread. I was only thirteen then, but I soon learned what worked and what didn't... what ingredients to add and what to take out. I brought that knowledge to Fort Collins over 30 years ago, opening my own restaurant in this house (built in 1903, its now a historical land mark). From the recipes my, grandfather passed down to me, to the unique new dishes I've developed to satisfty customers like you, everything is made right here. From the smell of the bread to the warm, friendly atmosphere, everyone feels right at home at Canino's. Over the years I've seen lots of changes, but I haven't changed the basic ingredients. Give people what they want and they will come back again and again. This year we are celebrating 30 years in Fort Collins... and we look forward to many more! Thank you for your patronge,
Clyde Canino & Staff A
HOUSE FILLED WITH HISTORY
The history of the landmark building that houses our restaurant is a rich and colorful one. Built in 1903 by Jack Corbin, then sold to his wife in 1912 for a dollar, it's seen just four changes in ownership in nearly a century. A family named Fitzsimmons bought the house from Mrs. Corbin and stayed for 40 years. Since 1954 the house has been home to the ATO and FIJI fraternities, as well as Mack's Furniture Store. In 1973, the Redding family turned the main floor into a restaurant, while they lived upstairs. Our family bought the house in 1975 and the rest is history, so to speak. Canino's Italian Restaurant opened for business on January 14, 1976. On January 30 of that same year, I met Karen in this house. We were married on August 14, 1976. One final note: Karen deserves all the credit for maintaining the history of this grand old house, as well as its preservation as an historical landmark. |
