Default Best Italian Restaurant in/near Villages?

I contend that to me the best restaurant in/near The Villages is the Chef's of Napoli III in Oxford on 301. I say this because I don't like soft pasta which were so prevalent in Italian restaurants of bygone eras in the U.S. Just like in Italy all pasta dishes here are al dente. Second, I love the heavier level virgin Olive oils from Tuscany. Their oil which they serve with bread which comes from the Campgnia district of Italy is like the ones I know from Tuscany. The bread too is quite good though I had better in many other places. Many of my friends talk about Confessori Pasta Cucina but I beg to differ. Some prefer Francesco. Perhaps we should pick a particular entree and compare but over all I'll pick Chef's.
