A lot of eating off the reservation. We have not yet left the bubble to eat. Still have more to try. I find in general, food in Florida is lacking compared to other parts of the country. The fact that there are no steak tips to be found anywhere is sad. We will keep trying as we have plenty of time to do that, just waiting to be able to go out to eat again.

Different part of the family. Not the same. Red Sauce and Glenview CC owned by one side and Nancy Lopez, Havana and now Riccardi's (Prima Italian Steak House ) owned by other Suleiman, as well at Malano's Italian Restaurant in Ocala.

3 nights ago I dined at Pirima. I had the limoncello grouper with gnocchi. It was delicious, and the service was great. I would definitely eat at Prima again.

Just ate at Wrights Farm last Thursday. Next time in the area again try Nordic Lodge, Charlestown a little pricy BUT all the Lobster, Kingcrab, Filet, Prime Rib, clams oysters half shell, peel and eat shrimp, and more. SORRY NO DOGGY BAGS. Or Brazilian Restaurant Pampas Churrascaria, Wooster Ma. Or any Greggs in the Providence area. I have found Villagers will eat anything. Remember Lum’s.

When I was younger all of my friends were Italian. They called me Elliot Ness. Many of my friends had their grandmother or grandfather from Italy living with them. The best Italian food wasn't from a restaurant, but from the dinners their mother's cooked. I always managed to be at one of my friend's house around dinner time. I remember they always ate, at least, 4 courses. One night I was so stuffed after the 3rd course, that I passed on the 4th course only to have my friend's father yell at me for disrespecting his wife's cooking.

Ahh, to have those home cooked Italian meals again.

First time at Prima’s Ital Steak House tonight. Overall, very pleasant dining experience. The food and service were both excellent. However, the consensus was Lopez and the Chop House are just a little bit better on both counts.
