Mr. Vito Candela and family created one of our favorite restaurants. For my wife and me it was the original family restaurant. Going to Candelas was like actually going to Vito's home for dinner. Vito's sons, Frank and Pete continue the excellent traditions. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the service is great and the food is always so delicious. May you rest in Peace Mr. Vito Candela.

Bennie and I would like to express our deepest condolences to the entire Candela family. We will be keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time

My condolences to you and your family. He will truly be missed. He was a very humble man.
