50 Best Italian Restaurants near Cooper City

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. My family and I love this place.“

“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.“

“Don’t sleep on the Lunch Menu… those paninis are mind blowing. Everything from the fluffy, crispy bread, amazing fillings, and condiments blend together perfectly. It’s quieter and brighter at lunch, so a completely different vibe. Highly recommend!! Hubby loves short rib panini and I crave spicy vodka chicken or ya sista’s cutlet.“

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

“When we got stranded without baggage and only the gym clothes on our back for a night, these folks welcomed us in with open arms when no other restaurant in the area would because we didn’t meet their dress code. Food was wonderful as was the staff. Thanks y’all!“

“The service was excellent and the food was delicious! A real treat… reminded us of Italy!!!!“

“Always check to see if Buca is at whatever city we are visiting, never disappointed“

“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!“

“Amazing place! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The food was fantastic, the ingredients were fresh, and every dish was full of authentic Italian flavor.
Our waiter Ruslan was exceptional—kind, attentive, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. He gave great recommendations, checked on us at just the right moments, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just customers.
If you’re looking for delicious Italian cuisine and first-class service, Lemonica is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be back for sure! 🇮🇹🍋“

“Am amazing place for meeting with friends and enjoying a great traditional east european and italian cuisine. The music is making the atmosphere even more immersive. Many thanks Michael for your service and to owners for hospitality!!🥰🥰🍷🍷🧆🍛“

“The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The environment was very welcoming and enjoyable. Everything we ordered was so good, and you can really tell they put care into the food and the overall experience. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to! Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try ❤“

“Ian made our night at Cucina Moderna. He was friendly and attentive without ever hovering, knew the menu inside and out, and his recommendations were spot on. Everything came out on time, our drinks never ran low, and he genuinely seemed to care that we were having a good time. Great service like this is hard to find, and it's a big reason we'll be back. Ask for Ian if you can!“

“Delicious food and attentive service.“

“We had lunch at Cucina Alfresco this week and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. The garlic rolls were some of the best we ever had and the pizza was perfectly prepared. We finished the meal with a wonderful homemade Tiramisu. I highly recommend Cucina Alfresco. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We found this place by chance on Google, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The food is absolutely exquisite—every dish tastes like it's made from recipes with a secret that has been perfected over generations. The service was exceptional, and Chef Juan is truly a remarkable person: incredibly warm, genuine, and someone who radiates peace and kindness, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The restaurant itself is cozy and welcoming, and the entire experience was unforgettable. We couldn't be happier that we decided to stop here, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic meal and a truly special dining experience.“

“What an amazing small restaurant!! all homemade YUMMY food and wonderful ambiance!! An absolute must if you are in the Hollywood, Florida!!“

“EVERYTHING was delicious. This was the best dough I’ve had here in the states. The Boquerones were so fresh! If you love anchovies, these are a must! I actually have a gluten sensitivity but ate the whole Pinsa and did not have any reactions or feel bloated like I normally do. The carpaccio was delicious too! And don’t get me started on the service, the owner took our order and cooked the food and was so welcoming.“

“El lugar es muy acogedor, y la comida es muy buena e innovadora.“

“The food is amazing and you really get your money’s worth. The service is always great and they are on top of everything. We’ve been coming for a while and every time it gets better and better. I would recommend that everyone tries it.“

“The food is amazingly delicious! Megan, who took our phone order, was so sweet and even made me laugh! Paul, who delivered the order, is always smiling and makes sure the food is hot! Thank you Antonio’s for everything and your amazing employees!“

“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!“

“Celesse was AMAZING!!!!!!! it was decorated adorable. The food was good. The ambiance was nice but having an incredible waitress really made the experience that much better.“

“The BEST Italian restaurant on Las Olas Boulevard!!“

“This peaceful patio is an absolute hidden gem, boasting a gorgeous marina setting surrounded by greenery that makes it the ideal spot to unwind over coffee, lunch, or brunch. Everything we ordered—including the fresh, flavorful shakshuka, a glass of moscato, and a cappuccino—was delicious and beautifully presented. The service struck the right balance of friendly and attentive. Plus, the $5 cash valet parking across the street adds great convenience. We will definitely be returning!“

“We found Elvis Italian Grille while looking for somewhere to eat before a show at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Everything at the hotel was completely booked, so we decided to take a chance on a nearby Italian restaurant with good reviews. I can honestly say this place exceeded every expectation.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and tasted like it was made with genuine care. The atmosphere was the perfect blend of upscale and casual—elegant enough to feel like a special night out, yet comfortable and welcoming.

What truly set this place apart, though, was the service. Our waitress was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. Even more impressive, every single member of the staff greeted us when we arrived and thanked us as we were leaving. That kind of hospitality is rare and made us feel genuinely appreciated.

This was such an unexpected gem and easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in the Hollywood/Dania Beach area. If you’re heading to the Hard Rock for a concert or just looking for incredible Italian food, do yourself a favor and eat here first. We’ll absolutely be back every time we’re in the area!“

“Very pleasant visit as always, bar tender Greta was super nice and very attentive. The server Jose and Lucia were constantly checking in on us and made us feel Very welcomed and special. Going to Salumeria is like visiting a family owned restaurant, very homey and pleasant. The food and drinks were great, I had a Diavola pizza with ricotta which was magnificent and a tortellini ossobuco which was delicious and very tasty. Thank you to Salumeria for a wonderful experience. Will 100% come again!“

“Fabulous food, service and pleasant atmosphere.“

“I had such a great experience here tonight. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. We started with the calamari, which was cooked perfectly—light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The garlic rolls were insane… honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. We shared a house salad, and it was huge—definitely big enough to split. Everything tasted super fresh, and the balsamic dressing was perfectly drizzled and flavorful without being overpowering. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta. I’m pretty picky about marinara sauce (and I’m Italian, so I hold places to a higher standard), but everything was completely on point. The flavors, the sauce, the portion—just really well done. What made the experience even better was the owner coming over to talk to us. She shared details about the food and the restaurant, which made it feel really personal and welcoming. They also host special wine tastings at the end of the month with a curated menu, which I definitely want to come back for. We didn’t try the pizza this time, but I already know I’ll be back. They offer thin crust and even a deep dish that you can order ahead (about an hour in advance), which sounds amazing. It’s a smaller place, but it’s cozy, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the service was excellent. I’ll definitely be back—and next time I’m saving room for dessert (if I can stop myself from eating all the garlic rolls again).“

“best Italian food I have ever had I got the baked Lasangna with meat sauce it was to die for and excellent rolls with garlic sauce highly recommend“
