My husband will not even go out for Italian here - he only eats it at home. The best homemade ravioli are at Mom & Dad's in Lady Lake. The second best are at Bellview Pizza (cash only place) in Bellview - as is their thin crust pizza. Other than those couple of items, you need to go all the way to Naples Florida (Campiello) or a really large city!

alicehelen: Acosta me. I agree somewhat. Giovanni's the owner orignated from Naples isn't bad. But frakly I stay away from Italian restaurants around here because I always walk away wanting.
The problem is too many people view Italian cooking as simply using Italian ingredients. What they don't understand is that Italian cooking is more about attitude. You are correct when you say less is more. I was very fortunate to have an Italian mother and father both of whom could cook up a storm from scratch.
