You have to get there early if you don't want to wait for a table but the linguini and clams is very good. Other than that, you have to travel outside The Villages for good restaurants. If you like German food and are up for a ride, there is a great place that won awards in Sanford outside of Orlando called Hallenbach's (sp?) Willow Tree Cafe - great German food and entertainment!! Good luck.
I found that Naples in Leesburg has really good Italian food. They have my favorite Gnocchi and they have an unheard of 4 or 5 different choices of it. I've also had it at Giovanni's but found Naples is much better by far! BTW, I grew up on homemade gnocchi! http://g.co/maps/cmtwr
