Biscotti's is one of Jacksonville's most established independent restaurants, an eclectic neighbourhood spot on St. Johns Avenue in Avondale that has been drawing a loyal local crowd since 1993. The menu mixes Mediterranean and Southern influences — roasted lamb, wood-oven flatbreads, fresh pasta, seafood — in a space that manages to feel both relaxed and slightly special at the same time.
The restaurant is part of a compound that includes a wine shop and outdoor seating in a garden. Dinner reservations are recommended on weekends. Brunch on Sunday is an Avondale institution, with a long list of egg dishes, pastries, and good coffee. The wine list is well chosen and reasonably priced.
