Put a meatball on it!

Feeling saucy? Longing for some lasagna? Ravenous for ravioli and totally tempted by tortellini? What'samatta with you? Stop yo-yoing on that wretched carb-free diet, 'cause this Weekly's dishing out the very best pasta!

Armando's (Hannibal Square)
"This is the real thing," Tom Battests. "I loved the sautéed Calamari Luciana in a light tomato sauce," and "my experience at this open, airy, and inviting atmosphere… surprised and delighted me."

Francesco's (Maitland)
Cecille R is "thrilled to have discovered such a great Italian place with an affordable price point. The chef is Sicilian and everything is made to order. The dishes reflect that, as the pasta carbonara reminded me of our trip to Italy — that's how authentic it was!"

Stefano's Trattoria (Winter Springs)
"I will embarrass you and anyone with us with my fervor over the gnocchi piemontese made with their homemade pink sauce," confesses Melissa C. "The chicken piccata is also quite perfect."

Ravalia's (Casselberry)
A trio of positive points: "Inexpensive, great service, and excellent quality of food. The pasta is made in-house," andGabe M can't get enough of the "spaghetti with pomodoro sauce, garlic bread, and chicken salad."

Antonio's (Maitland)
"Downstairs is where the magic happens… a deli and bakery area, along with many Italian groceries," with tables sprinkled throughout. Mia P swears by the pomodoro sauce: "It's so good I could eat it by itself with a spoon. The staff does a great job of keeping up. They all work together well and make dining there a superb experience."
