It looks like there's a new place opening on Navy Blvd., where Brews Brothers used to be.

"Penelli's" or something like that. I don't know anything about them though.

Ya I noticed that too, we don't have many options on this side of town, so I'm looking forward to checking them out when they open.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' 
is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist '.

Maybe it was the retsaurant.  There was a lot of ambiance ion that old building on the water. 

I once posted a bad experience I had with a local business and more than likely will never do it again, but I would suggest that anyone that knows the owner/operator of Franco's would let him know how some may view his/her business.  I certainly would consider it valuable information to know some of the things mentioned above.  I also support all consumers that voice their thoughts on how they are treated in by business of any type, as it is the Free Enterprise System at work and proof that the consumer can't be ignored, but I suggest caution if you are expressing your experience with a sporting goods dealer.

Carraba's is great. Love them! But it's not really authentic Italian. More of a "Gulf Coast with an Italian flair" type of place.

I never had the pleasure of trying Marchello's. I wish I had; I've heard nothing but great things about it.

I was told by a member on this board that if you go to FRANCO'S ask for them to make it Italian not the watered down American version.

I had a guy tell me one time that HE KNOWS WHAT REAL CHINESE FOOD TASTE LIKE... He lived in S.F. and went to CHINA town all the time. I never told him that I had been to CHINA and Hong Kong a few times.  LOL...... This all came about because he said a place sucks, (Well visited place by military folks that may have been at H.K. a time or two) and I just let it ride.

I guess LOMBARDIES (sp?) in New York is REAL ITALIAN PIZZA? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still looking to get down to FRANCO'S and eat, the one in P'COLA.

You also have to remember WHAT REGION they are cooking from. I think SICILY is the BEST but each region is different, just like in the states.

I thought that the best seafood came from the west coast or the Adriatic Sea, Best pasta was North East region, Best Pizza was in Rome and the best Sauces was hands down in SICILY. 

Same as with the wine. I know I'm wrong but it seems that each region in Italy sure can make thier wine go with the food from that region.

I've eaten at Tre's Fret and IT IS AWESOME. I thought thier Med. salad was outstanding along with thier pasta. I thought they were VERY HIGH for what you got but hey, if you want authentic you will pay for it. The bread was as good or better then what I had in Italy since it was FRESH.

Yep, been there several times while on active duty. Several different parts of the country... North, South, Sicily.

You're absolutely correct, the different regions' cuisine vary greatly in ingredients and style. Kind of like the U.S. If you order a bowl of gumbo in New York, they may not even know what you're talking about. If they do know, it's probably gonna suck.

I left active duty 7 years ago, but I missed Italy so much I had to go back a couple years ago. Took my wife there for our anniverssary in '05. I'm hoping to make another trip within the next couple of years.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that place. I haven't been there, but I'd like to give it a try. I can't remember the name either, but I know I've heard it advertised on the radio. I don't get out that way much, so I probably won't get to try it anytime soon.

I ate alot of Italian food in Northern Italy.  I was pretty dissapointed.  Its not rich like American Italian at all.  However, It was in restaurants so you never know.  I am sure the food cooked by the locals is much better.  There was a local restaurant (no english spoken) in Florence that had some AMAZING wild boar (common in N Italy) and killer deserts. I also heared the food in Southern Italy really is much better.  Guess I need to go back.  On a side note.  The pastry and sandwhiches (paninis) were awesome!
