Fat Clemenza's Italian Restaurant & Brick Oven Pizzeria

If you haven't had the chance to visit Destin's new favorite Italian restaurant, Fat Clemenza's, stop everything you're doing and go this afternoon or evening!The first time I ate was by recommendation of my girlfriend, who said the food was as good or better than our favorite little restaurant Po’ in Little Italy.

Although quiet skeptical at first, my sister and I ate their two nights later. Since our first time eating at Fat Clemenza's, we have come back at least once a week to enjoy what is by far the best "real" Italian food along the Emerald Coast. There's a lot of non-authentic 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 (Chef Mimmo’s Vegetable Panini is my fav) for $6-8 and rarely busy during lunch time. Don’t forget to try the wood fired Pizza’s that come in a variety of Italian versions.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). You will love the friendly staff and principal owner, Dominique, will most likely visit your table.
