Guidebook for Destin
Food Scene
Unique Italian breakfast experience. Mama Clemenza will make you feel like family. I recommend a cappucino (they are HUGE!), espresso biscuits and the proscuitto eggs benedict (perfect for sharing between 2). Be prepared to wait for a table but it is well worth it!

10 minute bike ride from our house. Love the open coffee shop for sitting outside enjoying a latte/cappucino while staring at the ocean. Also a great spot for happy hour!
Upstairs they have a restaurant with a cozy little bar space and some of the best sushi anywhere in the area. Fresh fish caught that same day from the Gulf!
