TRADEWINDS RESTAURANT – American
A Government Avenue mainstay in Niceville where the Italian cooking is made to order and the portions arrive frankly enormous. The menu runs the classics with conviction — chicken marsala, piccata and parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, seafood and pasta primavera — and folds in the Gulf with dishes like grouper al forno. Sit at the bar if you can get a stool; watching the line work is half the pleasure. Finish with the flourless chocolate cake or the tiramisu. Diners consistently single out the service and warn that the room fills fast, so book ahead. Small-town Italian at a high level.
