Florida Pizzeria Has The Most Delicious Garlic Knots
A pizza restaurant that puts a strong emphasis on the dough and bread cooked up in-house has its priorities straight. That’s exactly what you will find at Pizzata in Naples. Although their name represents a take on “Pizza Party,” this restaurant also has the most delicious garlic knots in Florida.
Located at 1201 Piper Blvd, Pizzata Pizzeria and Aperitivo has a very authentic story. One of their co-owners has strong ties and experience from another Naples. “Davide Lubrano earned his pizza knowledge by being classically trained at the Roman Pizza Academy and living the life of a third-generation pizzaiolo from Naples, Italy,” Pizzata states.
Sure, their impressive menu includes 17 different pizza pie options, but you might want to make sure you leave room for an appetizer plate.
Garlic Knots You’ll Be Dreaming About
Listed right under the title of Aperitivo Bites, you will find a sweet description of Pizzata’s Garlic Knots. Of course, the perfect order of this tasty dish revolves around the garlic ratio. However, the rosemary and parmesan toss that is added to these knots is the perfect accompaniment. As mentioned, the dough that is prepared at Pizzata is super fresh. This is also evident in the sandwiches available. In fact, their cheesesteak served on a perfectly crunchy yet soft sesame seed long roll could be mentioned in a future “best cheesesteak in Florida” article. Nonetheless, the knots follow a similar authentic touch where you pull them apart when you get them hot. Furthermore, an order is just $4.99. That is the cheapest appetizer on the menu (though you may find yourself going back to order another round).
“At Pizzata, we obsess over every ingredient, starting with our dough,” is one of the first things that jumps out at you on the Pizzata homepage. Then, there’s an emphasis on their intent to inspire people to gather together around their tables. Having the best Garlic Knots in Florida is certainly a great way to make that happen.
Two Florida Restaurants Named Among The Best For French Fries
Do you want fries with that? Tasting Table recently published a list of restaurants with the best French Fries in the country and two New Florida establishments were named.
“From high-end steakhouses and neighborhood brasseries’ to fast food restaurants and even grocery store freezer aisles, fried spuds can be found in just about every type of restaurant or shop across the country,” Tasting Table explains. Their feature is specific to non-fast food restaurants.
French Fries are always a fan-favorite whether a side dish, an appetizer, or just a snack. They come in all shapes and sizes. Shoe strings crispy versions, thick-cut steak fries, seasoned curly fries, waffle fries, and even tater tots (are those considered fries, though?).
French Fry Fun Facts
In a 2019 story published by the Daily Meal, they discussed unique facts on French Fries in America. Two of the most fascinating have to do with McDonald’s. “Approximately 7 percent of the potatoes grown in the U.S. meet the same fate: they become McDonald’s french fries,” they said. They later stated that this fast food chain sells one-third of the French Fries consumed in the United States.
French Fries are like music. They are a common bond, and they are subjective. What one person prefers may be completely different from another. Better yet, both choices are correct.
For example, Best Things Florida released their list of best French Fries in the Sunshine State. It is completely different from Tasting Table’s. However, Tasting Table went and explored all corners of the country to crown their French Fry kings.
The two restaurants in Florida that were recognized for having some of the best French Fries in the country serve two very different styles. One of them is part of a restaurant that has expanded to other markets. The other is served in a restaurant where fries compliment BBQ.
