SNAPPER LIVORNESE 
YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER 
You Could Visit an Italian Restaurant Every Night … but while dining recently at Cafe Italia in Fort Lauderdale, something hit us: “Hey,” we thought, “we’re eating real Italian food.” And what’s more, virtually everyone dining at this small extra virgin olive oil only, unpretentious cafe was speaking Italian, a sign there’s authenticity coming out of la cucina.
