Tuscan Oven
Italian food, moderately priced, about the same as the Olive Garden's prices.
I liked it. We got one pizza for my wife, I got a pasta bake, a soda, cheese cake, and tiramasu for 30 bucks! The best part, we have left overs!! -

I have no clue. I think so, it is on 9th Ave I believe and down the road from the mall and all that stuff. Down south though, so if you are familiar with where Best Buy and that is it is south from the mall area south of Applebee's and Olive Garden.

ok, so when i went we didnt have a car to drive anywhere for food but we didn't intend on leaving the hotel room either.. :o) so for sustanance we ordered in. We got pizza delivery one night from Hungry Howies (the have a flavored crust that is uber amazing!) There are quite a few in the phone book so the one that delivers to base (cause we were @ the Navy Gateway in) # is 850.457.6900.
And another night we got Hamburgers and Wings delivered! (also to the base) My hubby was uber excited about this! lol. The food was really great! Big, restraunt style hamburgers. All the toppings on the side, so nothing got limp. The potatoe wedges that come w/the burger were amazing! but they did get a lil soggy from being closed in a box... Super friendly staff! Anyway their name is Wing Zone and their # is: 850.456.0071 -

also have now been to mcguires and crab trap and bagel heads.
mcguires - amazing irish food. MUST try the potatoe skin appetizer!
crab trap - fare prices as far as sea food goes. they are low key but very nice. great food. (i normally dont eat hush puppies but they gave theirs out, like bread sticks, before the meal and they were pretty good!) we ate out on the patio that over lookes the gulf. gorgeous. windy though! bring a scarf!
bagel heads - awesome bagels. AND open early! so many bagel choices and they make bagel sandwiches and coffees. we only went for breakfast but I'm sure lunch and dinner fare was just as amazing! -
