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!
Being of Italian descent, I agree that any restaurant will not measure up to real good home cooking. Since I am not a picky eater when it comes to pasta, anything except out of a can is acceptable.

I guess I'm one of those Italians who doesn't have a discerning palate except I know when something is made like mom's.
