Two Guys from Italy Italian Restaurant

5792 S Suncoast Blvd., Homosassa Springs, FL, 34446

On South Suncoast Boulevard in Homosassa Springs, Two Guys From Italy is a family-run Italian restaurant and sports lounge that has been feeding Citrus County since 1989. The Loiero family, whose four sons James, Peter, Frank and Joe are the owners and executive chefs, runs the place, and its motto, Al Dente makes you smile, sets the tone: red-sauce classics, generous plates and a relaxed room where the game is usually on. The menu covers the Italian-American standards. Dinners include chicken parmigiana, lasagna, shrimp scampi, chicken cacciatore and eggplant parmigiana, and they come with a salad and garlic rolls. The restaurant lists entrees mostly between about $13 and $26, with a kids' menu and lighter fare priced lower. Pizza is available in 12- and 16-inch sizes, including a gluten-free option, and the kitchen also turns out calzones, subs and sandwiches, buffalo wings and starters such as fried calamari, mussels fra diavolo and meatball sliders. Prices change, so the restaurant's website has the current menu. Beyond the dining room, the business is a full bar and sports lounge, and it has hosted live music and DJ nights. It serves dine-in and takeout, and customers can order online through its website. According to the restaurant's site, the schedule is Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 7 p.m.; the restaurant is listed as closed on Tuesday. Hours are reported differently by different directories, so a quick call before heading out is worthwhile. The restaurant's own account is a classic immigrant-family story: the founders, Rocco and Frances Loiero, were born in Calabria, Italy, and ran restaurants in upstate New York before settling in Florida. Their sons now run the business, with Frank as the chef. Two Guys From Italy is at 5792 S. Suncoast Blvd. and can be reached at (352) 628-6955 or .
