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.“

“Firefly Italian Restaurant in Cooper City is a true gem! The spaghetti and meatballs are outstanding – perfectly cooked pasta with tender, flavorful meatballs and a rich tomato sauce. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Excellent food, amazing service. The owner is super friendly, and kind. The restaurant is clean. The food is soooooo delicious that doesn't even taste like processed vegan food. It's amazing ?

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

“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!“

“best romanian restaurant !“

“Lets just start of by saying this food is definitely worth dining in for, and the dinner service was delightful. Donavon was especially exceptional, allowing us to sample multiple wines before ordering and substituting ingredients for dishes to the guests' preference, even going as far to use his multilingual skills he's been practicing to help guests from latin backgrounds with their orders. Even when the cheese ran out, Donavon was quick to offer a new piece, and even helped us leave quickly when we were rushing to get to a store before it closed. Honestly, if he isn't the manager he definitely deserves a raise.“

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

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

“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!“

“The brunch burger was ridiculously good. The food here is a tour de force.“

“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!“

“THE BEST PLACE EVERRRR
I come here like once a month or two months
The prices are reasonable, they're not crazy, to be honest you could spend what you spend in McDonald's here and get a full meal.
It's so cozy and the service is so great I love it, never had an issue in all the time I've come here.
And the food is absolutely amazing and aesthetic and when you're full you don't feel bloated, you feel satisfied. The food feels and tastes natural and fresh you can totally tell it's homemade.

Best place, if you have any doubts on going there, don't. Just go and it's the best decision you'll ever make“

“So yummy and light .. what a refreshing desert“

“Complimeenti! Una vera pizza napoletana, degna della nostra grande tradizione.“

“Excellent place to eat and chat, the truth is that the pizzas are highly recommended in addition to the rest of the menu.

Parking: There is parking in front of the restaurant without any problem.

Kid-friendliness: Yes of course it is a very nice environment

Wheelchair accessibility: I think I saw a ramp to enter, it is very comfortable.“

“Excellent pizza and service“

“Everything tastes delicious! From the bread, the salads, the pastas, the steaks, the fish and desserts! Served with great attention! I love it and wished they had a restaurant downtown Fort Lauderdale!“

“waitresses are very friendly and efficient.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Anthony's Runway 84 in Fort Lauderdale with my cousin, celebrating her birthday, and my mom, who was visiting from out of town. It was an unforgettable experience, and every detail added to the joy of our evening. To start, we had the baked clams and shrimp oreganata—absolutely fantastic. Both appetizers were cooked to perfection, flavorful, and seasoned just right. Then came the main courses: I chose the lamb chops, which were excellent, and my cousin ordered a steak with a sauce that she still can’t stop raving about. And let me tell you, the twice-baked potato was pure heaven—a perfect blend of textures and flavors that made it an indulgent treat. Carlos, our waiter, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and super helpful with recommendations. The host, either Joe or Michael, was also the best, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you’re looking for a place with delicious Italian-American fare and an inviting, classic ambiance, Anthony's Runway 84 is a must-visit in Fort Lauderdale. We can’t wait to return!“

“Cozy restaurant & great food. Reasonably priced too. Can’t wait to return for Lisa’s Spicy Chicken. It was fabulous !“

“Dinner here was a great experience — it’s hard to find good carbonara in the U.S., but I was impressed here and the pasta was perfect. The wine, the meal and the coffee after were great. I can’t wait to come back next time I visit Fort Lauderdale.“

“PIZZA IS OUTSTANDING!!! SERVICE WAS GREAT!!! FRANCESCA !!!“

“Great pizza and food excellent service“

“Dropped by for a group dinner, they were very accommodating, moving chairs and tables for us.
The interior and bar area are both very nicely furnished, the design accents are classy (brick/ wood / plush seats).
The food had variety and though I'm not someone that usually goes for Italian, I enjoyed the pasta. Appetizers were great, desserts memorable and delicious.
Also- I loved their cocktails and wine selection, particularly their Old Fashioned.“

“Hands down the best eggplant ? parm I've had in my life!! Sliced very thin. In layers.baked to perfection, I was swooning. Family owned and served by. Cozy and friendly atmosphere. It's a little hidden away but easy to find off Flamingo and Orange Dr
Garlic rolls perfect size. Crunchy and tasty!“

“excellent pizza, garlic rolls are the best, and everything is delicious but my favorite is the antipasto with 1000 island dressing“

“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 had an amazing dinner and dining experience on the rooftop. Delicious drinks, amazing food, and excellent service! Highly recommend.“

“The service and food is great. The prices are the best in the area.“

“A hidden gem for sure. Of course we had to try the Italian nachos (Bruschetta Balsamic extraordinaire). The food is fresh, authentic and delicious. Chicken Marsala - one of the best we ever had. The decor is welcoming and fascinating, enjoy a taste of Italy in your neighborhood ???“
