Carlucci's gets a thumbs-up!

Ye olde to-do list found yours truly stomping around Winter Park this fine Saturday.

The last time I was up this way, I was more than a little disappointed by a certain Mexican restaurant that shall remain nameless.

But, it's never a good idea to go running errands on an empty stomach, especially when you're known for being a big old crank even on a good day.

So, I decided to try some Italian this time around, and was very happy to discover Carlucci's in the shopping center opposite Winter Park Village at 17-92 and Lee Road. They're in the strip between Office Depot and Michael's.

Anyway, great food, atmosphere, and wait staff. If any of ye socks find yourselves starving in this little corner of heaven, give 'em a try!
