  My family and I spent Friday, March 30 on the Emerald Coast, enjoying the first day of our 3 day holiday weekend taking in a little shopping, a little site seeing, and a whole lot of relaxing.
  
  When it got close to lunch, we found ourselves on the campus of Destin Commons. We did a quick Google search for the restaurants that were immediately accessible and came across La Famiglia. We voted and decided that we would give them a try.
  
  Even though it was Spring Break, parking was still rather easy to find and we were able to park right in front of the restaurant. As we walked up, we saw that there were several tables and chairs outside, 2 or 3 of which were occupied by patrons.
  
  We walked in the front door and were greeted by the hostess, Brooke, who also turned out to be our server. She asked us if we would like to sit outside and even though the weather was beautiful, we declined, so she showed us to our table. She took our drink order - I ordered a sweet tea and my wife a Diet Dr. Pepper - and away she went to fill them.
  
  She returned shortly, and asked if we wanted to hear the day's specials. We did, and she recited all of them without pause. I was amazed, as there were probably a dozen items on special. She laughed at my lame Dad joke when I asked her to repeat the 4th and 7th items on the list and handed us two menus.
  
  We both decided on the 12" cheese pizza, but I added pepperoni and extra sauce to mine as is my preference every time we try a new pizza place. My wife took hers as is.
  
  While waiting for our food to arrive, I walked about and captured some photos of the setting and decor. Because it is an Italian restaurant, it only stands to reason that the decorations have an Italian vibe to them.
  
  Finally, our food arrived. Now let me get one thing out of the way: I LOVE pizza. I love deep dish, I love New York style, I love thin. But if you're going to do pizza in a specific "style", then you better do that style well...and La Famiglia nailed it.
  
  The crust was super thin and crispy all the way around. It seemed very simply made, but I cannot verify that. The point is that it wasn't supersaturated with garlic butter sauce or Parmesan sprinkles or anything along those lines. The sauce, of which I ordered extra, came right out to the absolute edge and tasted great. I could actually taste the tomatoes in the sauce instead of it being overly spicy and assaulting my taste buds. Overall, the pizza was great and I enjoyed it immensely.
  
  Now for a few of the smaller, less obvious details that I noticed, but impressed me about the restaurant. The tableware was robust. I hate when you go to eat somewhere and the dining utensils are bent all out of shape. That's something you won't have to contend with at La Famiglia. I made it a point to photograph the fork I used, but unfortunately you can't really tell how sturdy it is. Secondly, when we got ready to leave, Brooke offered us drinks to go and we accepted. When she brought back the cups and lids, I noticed that the lid had a peel back flap on it so that one could sip straight from it without having to completely remove the lid. I LOVE that feature on any to go cups from anywhere because everyone knows that it's just unSouthern to drink sweet tea through a straw.
  
  Once again, thanks to Brooke for all the attention and fantastic service she provided during our visit. I absolutely hope to visit again after all the Spring Break traffic has disappeared.
