Nino Salvaggios & Morley Chocolate Factory
Nino’s is famous for its food from all over the world, but mostly—Italian! Outside at Nino’s, a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables just like a farmers market but inside you step back in time to “the market” of fresh breads, homemade peanut butter, sausages, flowers, deli, etc. It’s a place you have to see to believe. For lunch you have many options, eat at Niño’s deli or go next door to the Mall and enjoy one of several restaurants and do a bit of shopping. Our last stop of the day will be at the Morley Candy Factory where they make Sanders Candies. They also have ice cream cones and real malts for the ride home.
