Exceptional tastes from the Isle of Ponza

Antonio’s Story

Chef Antonio was born on the island of Ponza in his grandmother’s house. His passion for Italian cooking began in her kitchen when he was only 9 years old.  He later owned and operated his own restaurants in Milan and Ponza.  “When I came to the states in 1999, I stayed true to my heritage of producing the kind of Italian food I cooked with my grandmother.  Essential ingredients and techniques set my food apart. My recipes are simple and fresh, just like in my grandmother’s kitchen.”

Chef Antonio makes his very own mozzarella cheese, dipping oil, sauces, dressings, Italian Cheesecake and Tiramisu.

“In almost two decades of covering local restaurant, this is, without a doubt, one of my most memorable meals.” – Ocala’s Good Life Magazine

An Italian Dining Experience.

The Italian dining experience has a rich cultural heritage. In Italy, we don’t rush through our meals. We savor the time with each other, the food and the wine.

“My goal is to bring that same experience to my guests.” ~Chef Antonio

“The restaurant that all of Italy is talking about isn’t in Italy. It’s in Micanopy, Florida.”
