50 Best Italian Restaurants near Cooper City

“Our first time here ( LHP ) and the service was great & pasta very good however the " gluten free" pizza crust was paper thin & was not like any normal pizza. I purchase a lot of Domino's gluten free pizzas and they are great with a normal crust thickness, that LOOK and Taste like a normal Pizza. Why can't you produce a GF pizza that is normal , if Domino's can do this , why can't you ? With your crust so thin all I tasted was cheese ....Pizza crust is the heart of Pizza.“

“I never thought I would write a bad review about Vita. But they have really Changed. I was one of their first customers and have lived right down the street from them for 35 years. I go in for lunch usually 3-4 times a week and we go to dinner about 5 times a month. Many times with friends. I of course am in their computer as a regular customer. Which shouldn’t matter and didn’t. They had coupons and one was buy an entree and get the 2nd one for 1/2 price CASH ONLY. It’s NOT the 1/2 off but the principal, attitude and being money hungry not caring less about the customer. I told them placing the order on the phone. I only had a $100 bill. “NO PROBLEM” was the response and she never asked about the tip. The total using the coupon was about $31. The driver showed up and they didn’t give him enough for the change after order and tip. Instead of a $7 tip I would have had to make it $34 with the money they sent him with. Or reduce his tip a lot. I told him I could pay with a credit card and would even pay a few percent to cover the credit card fee. They told the driver to charge $46(adding $2.25 that didn’t figure with the 2 now full price entrees, delivery fee and tax???) now eliminating the coupon. I just paid him as it wasn’t his fault, he said he was new and had other deliveries getting cold as today there is record cold. The driver at no point even wanted the coupon. I called Vita after he left. Not only was the women who answered rude. She first transferred me and after 6 minutes someone just picked up the phone and hung it up. I called right back, transferred again and after 8 minutes a man who refused to give me his name answered. I am sure the food was cold by then. The idiot at Vito told me to wait and after the driver was done with deliveries, went back for change and then would come back to me. I then could pay cash and they would cancel the credit card charge. I asked how long and the answer was “I have no idea, but he’s busy wait OUTSIDE for him”. I simply said the food was probably already cold and would be useless by then. If I wanted a microwave dinner I would have paid a lot less for one at Publix. He said “F… YOU” and hung up. None of this was my fault. I know the old Vita would have probably said just keep it and we won’t charge you. No matter how good their food maybe when NOT cold. The way I was charged, spoken too and treated is totally unacceptable. No matter how busy or anything else. I am still the customer and told them I just had a $100 bill. What I and my wife was left with was a $54 credit card charge just for 2 entree with one supposed to be 1/2 price but wasn’t(FYI a soup or salad was free with each meal and there was 1 salad and no soup when we ordered 2 soups no salad also no garlic rolls), cold useless food and indigestion. Also a restaurant we, our friends(we introduced to Vita over many years) and neighbors will never use again. Also at anytime they could have called back to make this right. I waited 4 hours to make sure trying to give them a chance to realize what they have done before writing the review. Nothing from them. However, checking online they did put the credit card charge through. Vito can find this review on every site including Next Door, Cooper City, Davie, Facebook(5000 friends many local and over 100,000 followers), Davie/Cooper City Magazine and their own web site. It’s a shame how some businesses just ask to lose customers especially reading other reviews. The whole exchange with the driver including sound was caught on my camera. Please try Luv’N Oven right across the street. East and the food is just as good with no problems or drama. The prices are also cheaper. The only difference is Vita is next to Publix. So a little more convenient.“

“Delicious and plenty of food“

“Excellent pizza with a delicate crispy crust & authentic sauce . Will be back for more 5 star pizza“

“I order delivery from here regularly because this is one of the only pizza places that are not only very affordable (LOVE their rewards system), but their pizza doesn't upset our stomachs. They're also very prompt with delivery and I believe it's the manager himself who does most of the delivering. He's a nice guy and you can tell he actually CARES about his business.“

“Steve’s has the BEST pizza and wings!!!!! Garlic rolls are great too!!!“

“A staple in Cooper City since 1973, the food is still A1! Recently stopped in and had pepperoni pizza and an order of stuffed shells that came with a side of garlic bread. Deeeeleeecious! 💯“

“Pizza and garlic rolls are delicious, great atmosphere.“

“From the moment I stepped into Cucina Italiana, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Our server was both knowledgeable and attentive, recommending the perfect pairings for our meal. To start, the bruschetta was a symphony of flavors, with the freshest tomatoes and just the right hint of garlic. The main course, homemade fettuccine alfredo, was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the chef’s expertise with perfectly cooked pasta and a creamy, rich sauce that was flavorful yet not overwhelming. What truly set Cucina Italiana apart was the attention to detail. From the perfectly timed courses to the subtle yet inviting decor, every aspect of our meal was thoughtfully curated. As for dessert, the tiramisu was a delightful end to our meal. It was airy, with just the right touch of espresso, leaving us thoroughly satisfied yet longing for our next visit. In a nutshell, Cucina Italiana is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey that I would recommend to anyone seeking an exceptional Italian dining experience in Dania Beach. It’s a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Bravo! Feel free to adjust this review to better match your personal experience at the restaurant!“

“If you’re looking for exceptional service and unforgettable flavors, Lemonica is the place to go. Jay took such wonderful care of us — genuinely kind, welcoming, and attentive from beginning to end. His positive energy alone is a reason to come back!

The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, with creative and original dishes you don’t find everywhere. Every plate was full of flavor and prepared with so much care.

A huge thank you to Jay for making our experience special. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended. 🍋✨“

“Excellent! Was driving up 95 and got an urge for a pizza and found this on the map. Once I found out they make the bread fresh for the subs, I went with the Italian sub. It was outstanding, so was the salad that came with it. I'll have to come back and try the pizza another time. Excellent service as well!“

“This is the best Italian cuisine in Broward County and the state of Florida for that matter!“

“It's always a pleasure to dine at Sapido—one of the few truly authentic Italian restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. My wife and I visit regularly or order from home, and the flavors never disappoint. The dishes are consistently genuine and full of character. This time, I had the fettuccine with Bolognese ragù, while my wife ordered the Pastore pizza topped with a mix of cheeses—both were outstanding. We finished with the tiramisu, which was perfectly portioned and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend stopping by Sapido if you're in downtown Fort Lauderdale!“

“Unbelievably great food and service My Wife hosted my 70-birthday dinner at Capriccio's and all I can say was it was one of the most enjoyable dinner experiences I have had in a very long time. Capriccio’s is a warm, friendly place, with fabulous food and an unsurpassed wait staff, led by William. Having my family and friends celebrate this occasion with me will be a wonderful memory. Everyone attending could not stop raving about the food. Needless to say, Capriccio’s has some new customers!“

“Just home from my fouth dinner at Mama Mia's with a group of friends down visiting from Rochester NY. Like my first review and my last two dinners (for which I'm remiss for not having reviewed), didn't disappoint. The food cooked Torino style by Mama, delicious, try the meat balls!, and Fredericka, Mama's daughter, and Gerald took great care of us table-side! Such a special new place! The fourth with many more to come!“

“We've been coming here for years and always had excellent service. The food is so good, its hard to decide what to order from the menu, because everything on the menu's delicious. Diogenes takes excellent care of us. The pizza, pastas, and sandwiches are yummy, including the desserts. Maria & Luigi are from Italy, so you know you're getting authentic Italian food. :)“

“First off, Marty thank you for an incredible solo dining experience. I was staying in Fort Lauderdale for just one night for a business meeting and decided to enjoy a true Italian meal. This turned out to be the best Italian food I’ve had in years. The service was exceptional & the food was outstanding. I got the pasta special, glass of red wine, & tiramisu. It was pricy, but every dollar spent was worth it.“

“We went last night after waiting 20 minutes to have our order taken at another Italian local place. We ended up walking out and came to Prosecco 22. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious! We sat outside because they were busy and it was still very pleasant and they did not forget we were there. Good food and good service.“

Special thanks to the manager Natalie for taking hospitality to the next level. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we will be back!“
