Here are four great, authentic Mediterranean restaurants in Boca Raton and Delray Beach that you are sure to enjoy.

Prezzo

Prezzo was recently re-opened by Boca Raton's "Big Three," award-winning chef Mark Militello, chef Burt Rapoport and chef Dennis Max. The three have worked together since the 80s and opened Prezzo together in 1989. The wood-burning pizza oven restaurant was a major success in the 90s which gave all three chefs opportunities elsewhere around Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties. They went their own ways because of this but have gathered to re-open Prezzo with its pizza classics and a new flavor-focused menu.

Location: 5560 N. Military Trl. #300; 561-314-6840.

On Jupiter Island lies the largest Anastasia Limestone formation in the state. This type of rock runs along the east coast of Florida from Saint John's County down to Palm Beach County. Anastasia formations are composed of embedded sand and coquina limestone. Coquina, meaning "shellfish" in Spanish, is a rock comprised of fragmented shells, mollusks, trilobita (a fossilized group of extinct arthropods (the bug-looking things)), and other invertebrates. Scientists date these rocks to be more than 2.6 million years old. 

The formation is located at the Blowing Rocks Preserve in Hobe Sound, at the southernmost point of the Indian River Lagoon. The 73-acre preserve is comprised of the ocean side, where the rocks are, and the lagoon side, which has an…

Here are some fun facts about Palm Beach County that you may not know.
