Mangia, Mangia - Fat Clemenza's does Mama Proud!
After enjoying the day in the 70° December Destin weather we were trying to decide where to go for dinner. We decided on Italian and after watching the Godfather movie this past week it seemed natural to try Fat Clemenza's in Destin. Do yourself a favor...get to Fat Clemenza's as soon as you can!
We walked into a very inviting, authentic Italian restaurant, complete with the red and white checkered tablecloths, old time B/W photos on the wall and perefct mood setting Michael Buble music as the soundtrack for our dinner. And what a wonderful dinner it was.
Being Italian and having enjoyed my share of classic Mediterranean cuisine, I scanned the menu and instantly felt at home with the endless choices of Italian favorites. After much deliberation my wife chose the Lasagna and I decided on the Cannelloni Florentine.

After enjoying some piping hot homemade bread with olive oil dipping sauce we were ready for our entrees. All I can say is that I swear I heard my Grandma telling me "mangia, mangia!" The food was amazing! I chose the house specialty Vodka Sauce to top off my meal and it was perfect. The Canelloni was prepared just right, stuffed with ricotta cheese, spinach and veal. My wife's lasagna was drenched in thick, tasty, tomato sauce, covered in layers of cheese and meat. The portions were such I had no room left for dessert!
