Italian restaurant in Destin

[Teresa]

We like some of the Guglielmo's dish, but their staff are very rude, we discovery a year ago that Guglielmo sold his restaurant La dolce Vita in Santa Rosa Beach to some Italian guys they are now running this restaurant and the Bar. Locanda Italiana is very a family business from the waiters to the Chef, Esther is our preferred waiter she is adorable, and she is the wife of the main owner, but we believe that is just her attitudinal she is great as the food is the paccheri caprese are just terrific, the veal parmigiana yummy, and the bread is homemade nothing then you can be compare it, you need to try

bravo LOCANDA ITALIANA

I have not tried locanda italiana yet. looking forward to it.

also..

Enzo's (hwy 393 just north of gulf place)
Fat Clemenza's - dying to go back
Carabba's - at Grand Blvd - really good for a chain

And it's easy enough to roast your own garlic add a little good olive oil and oregano and make your own bread spread. Worst part of the process is the waiting time for the garlic to cool after you take it out of the oven. (seems like forever though it's not)

Thank you!! I burned the crap out of my fingers tonight--but it was soooo worth it! Delish!

You make my brain hurt.
We are planning another trip--to the Keys in March. Trying to talk your eldest and her man into sneaking away and meeting us, since she loves it there. Hey, maybe she'd bring back another souvenir like she did last time... ;-)
I had a great time two years ago, met some great people.

You make me laugh.

I'm sure you've already asked her advice on what to do in Key West.
Maybe YOU can bring back a souvenir!
