ANTONIO'S MADE IN ITALY

Micanopy is a small and quiet little town, so it's somewhat of a surprise to find a restaurant as good as Antonio's four miles south of this historic country town and close to the village of McIntosh.

It must be an Italian thing, because the minute you walk in here you feel like you're part of a big happy family.  Maybe this is because Antonio was born in Italy. 

This is a small intimate restaurant with only about fifty seats, so it's always recommended to make a  reservation.

The have a nice selection of wine and beer to start you meal with, and their appetizers - called anitpasti in Italian - include some tasty items.

These include sausage and peppers drizzled in goat cheese and vinegar;  clams and mussels alla Divaola;  and Bruschetta Napoletana.

Their full menu is extensive with soups and salads, pasta, chicken, veal, seafood, and sweet desserts. 

I like to start a meal with Pasta Fagioli, a traditional Italian soup made with Great Northern beans and fresh vegetables. 

One of their most popular dinners is Lobster Ravioli sauteed in a creamy gorgonzola sauce and topped with shrimp.

A good way to finish your meal is with Tiramisu, and the one in this restaurant is very good.
