The 12 Best Restaurants in Gainesville, Florida | Eater Miami

"In the heart of downtown Gainesville lies this small Italian-style restaurant with more veal dishes than any other in town: Amelia’s. A tiny gate opens to just a few tables and string-light decor, while inside diners find warm-colored walls and small round tables making this restaurant the go-to for dates and family gatherings. To kick off the meal, start with he Crostini NY topped with spinach and artichoke cream sauce, and the fried calamari for just $10. For less than $30, the restaurant serves a chicken, veal, or vegetarian entree along with a house salad, a choice of any marinara-garnished pasta, and bread. And the restaurant’s pasta dishes and eggplant parmesan don’t price over $20."
