If you haven't had the chance to visit Destin's new favorite Italian "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant, Fat Clemenza's, stop everything you're doing and go right now!
The first time I ate was by recommendation of my parents, who said the food was as good or better than our favorite little spot back in Miami. Although I didn't believe them at first, my wife and I ate their two nights later.
Since our first time eating at Fat Clemenza's, we have come back nearly twice a week to enjoy what is by far the best "real" Italian food along the Emerald Coast. There's a lot of "plastic Italian" restaurants in the area, but if you're looking for a real New York or Chicago-style Italian spot, this is the place for you.
To start, their brick-oven pizza is as good as any I've had in Brooklyn or Little Italy. The quality of the mozzerella and pepperoni is fabulous. Their daily dinner specials are some of our favorite dishes now and their everyday entrees are fantastic.
For dinner, you can expect to pay between $12-20 for your entree. Also a great place for lunch, featuring many great sandwiches for $6-8 and rarely busy during lunch time.
So if you haven't already, go down to Fat Clemenza's for dinner. But get there early! It's packed every night (which means it's good). Enjoy the fabulous Italian couisine and the friendly owner, Dominique, who'll most likely visit your table.

I ate there about a year ago...still remember the broccoli rabe! We had so much wine, so much pasta...couldn't move at all! I got the leftovers packed up and fed them to my mini-schnauzer Harold. The little guy couldn't get enough :) Fat Clemenza's is the BEST!
who did you book with, alexei? i remember that trip well
-Yulia Fed-fed :)
Sounds like a good trip! And I am inclined to agree, fat clemensa's is soooooooooo good...we live in the ft. lauderdale area and this restaurant is absolutely worth the trip.
We booked with www.villa.us...Harold had a lot of fun in the garden there! The guy who booked for us i think was Martin-- great rental, affordable price! I'll definitely book with them again.
-Alex
i'll definitely have to check them out! thanks--

Thanks! Martin, the wonderful guy over at villa.us, said that Harold was the best-behaved little guy he'd ever seen! (I only wish he could have said the same of LaLa...that puppy needs to learn NOT TO CHEW THINGS!)
:::laughs::: indeed! I love puppies but they can be so deadly to furniture, wires, other puppies, couches, fingers...the list goes on!
hahahaha! Yep! I'll let you know when we get another 3 or 4 bedroom at villa.us...prb the orlando area this time. Want a piece of that, yulia?
Absolutely! Let me know when you're planning on going out there and I'll book tickets through my buddy. I can't wait! -Yulia
Whew...I think it might have to be sooner than later. Work's got me down, Yulia! "There must be some kind of way out of here..."
