For months, I’ve been following the journey of a new restaurant, La Familia, right here in SWFL. I watched through social media as they got the keys, put the furniture together, and finally opened their doors. I knew I had to visit, and last Tuesday, I finally got my chance.
Stepping inside, I was immediately greeted by the owner, Olga. She is one of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, and we quickly started chatting about the ins and outs of running a restaurant in this area. Her passion for what she does is truly inspiring. The place itself is beautifully decorated, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
When it was time to order, I wasn’t super hungry, so I asked Olga for a recommendation from their diverse Mediterranean menu. She suggested their signature Octopus Salad, a special recipe from Croatia. I didn’t have to wait long before a stunning plate arrived. The salad was a masterpiece of flavor and freshness—tender octopus, perfectly cooked potatoes, and crisp vegetables all tossed in a light dressing of fresh lime juice and olive oil. I must confess, it was one of the best salads I have ever eaten. The octopus was absolutely perfect, and the whole dish was so fresh and delicious.
As I was finishing my meal, I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Kosta. It’s clear this is a true family affair, and their dedication to providing a welcoming, high-quality dining experience is evident in every detail. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was part of the La Familia.
If you’re looking for a special lunch or dinner spot, you have to visit this place, trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
La Familia is officially Felipe Approved! 👍
