The Villages is basically an ethnic food desert. Ain't nothin decent here if you're looking for anything resembling what you had "back home," unless "back home" was chain restaurants.

Outside The Villages there are options - such as the real bonafide and truly tasty taqueria on 301. And the Indian restaurant in Mt. Dora. I haven't yet found a decent falafel joint but I'm told there's one up in Ocala I need to check out.

For Sicilian pizza, I've found one in Boynton Beach. AND - wonder of wonders - Pepe's of New Haven (yes, THAT Pepe's Apizza) has opened a pizza joint in Delray Beach, near my dad and sister. Next time I'm down there (next month) I plan on checking them out. If they have a white clam, I'm getting it. If it's as good as I remember, I'll buy another one half-baked and frozen to take back with me to The Villages for another night. I may have to start a delivery service of half-baked frozen Pepe's pizzas for the neighborhood.
