There are a lot of Italian places in Florida. From traditional to modern, you can tell if a restaurant is a great “Italian restaurant” by how many Italian-inspired meals it has on the menu, how good the service is, how good the food is, and how satisfied you feel after eating there.
It’s not easy to pick just one place as “the best” in a state like Florida, but that’s what the writers at Taste of Home have done.
They looked all over the country to find the best Italian restaurant in each state. For Florida, the winner is Perricone’s Marketplace and Cafe in Miami.
Perricone’s is a restaurant that is both fancy and relaxed. It has large eating rooms and a fine market with foreign meats, chocolate Italian candies, and homemade cannolis, among other things.
Perricone’s is open for lunch and dinner and has something for everyone, whether you want a fresh salad with goat cheese and white truffle dressing or something a little more indulgent like their filet mignon or hearty meat lasagna.
Popular dishes here include chicken parmigiana, baked brie, and Fiocchi gorgonzola, a specialty pasta stuffed with fresh pear and four cheeses and topped with a creamy walnut gorgonzola sauce.
You can pair your lunch with a drink from their long wine list, which has more than 100 kinds, or you can just enjoy their homemade gelato or sorbet.
Everything here tastes fresh and real, so it’s not a wonder that Perricone’s has been called the best restaurant in the state.
Perricone’s Marketplace and Cafe is a great place to eat if you’re looking for a perfect meal. Every day from 11:30 am to 10:30 pm, the restaurant is open. Visit their main site here to find out more.
