It’s true, a quality Southern Italian restaurant in Alpine! Mediterraneo has been in the Alpine Creek Shopping Center for over 20 years and the new owners, Vincenzo and AnnaMaria Croce, have livened it up with authentic Sicilian cooking. AnnaMaria’s mother has been cooking in Italian restaurants for 50 years and she comes in the morning to make the sauces just right. Her cooking is what you’d expect an Italian mother would cook in their own house.
