Cozy, quiet Italian place for a nice dinner. Quick and friendly service, great food. Wine, deserts and coffee are also really good. Check for the dinner of 2 people is around $150. Parking is free in front of the building.

Passed by looking for a place to eat and saw their sign lit up. This was great food. And their service is top-notch. We shared the Gnocchi and calamari both excellent.

Great place... get there early before the wave walks
Delicious. A complete knockout surprise. We were staying in a nearby hotel (walking distance) and it's in a strip mall.... Therefore our hopes weren't too high - although the YELP reviews were pretty decent. My mom and family are Italian, I grew up on homemade ravioli and panna cotta. This place knocked my socks off. Obviously a locals' favorite, the place was full on a weekday night, and lots of people also picking up to go. Many people were recognized as "regulars" conk g i . The staff was super friendly and helpful to us first timers too. Every night they have specials - more of them than the actual menu! And amazing, such as lobster ravioli, chicken piccata, traditional soups like suppa pasta fagiole, etc. And the food was perfectly cooked, well balanced, flavorful, and unique. The warm roasted corn with arugula and walnuts appetizer salad knocked it out of the park for my husband. We also had a special cauliflower gratin apoetizer that was superb, for mains, he had paroadelle with fungi (light and delicious) and I had orichette with chicken livers (rich and delicious). I wish we were staying in the area longer so we could go back and try more of the menu. We split a panna cotta for dessert and it was one of the best I've ever had. We are bookmarking this spot and plan to return. What an unexpected gem. Lovely ambiance too. Make the effort to go here - you won't regret it!

If you’re in town for an authentic Italian food, you arrived! This place reminds me of the old golden days! Family owned and operated.Quality food and service, very friendly atmosphere.We have tried their appetizer, pizza, pasta, seafood, wine and dessert. Everything was outstanding. The place is very cozy and comfortable. You won’t feel lost. And always someone will be there to take care of your needs. Not to mention The natural delicious smell from the wood oven! Oh gosh !Thank you very much for having us. Will definitely see you soonVegetarian options: They got mushrooms pasta !Parking: Very spaciousKid-friendliness: They gave our little one some stuff to play withWheelchair accessibility: The parking is literally by the restaurant entrance
Best Italian food I’ve ever had ! I’ve tried so many but this was by far the best. It’s very cozy and the staff are so welcoming. Every dish we ordered tasted amazing. My toddler is a picky eater and she eat everything we ordered. We had the margarita pizza, branzino, chicken parmigiana, and tiramisu. Highly recommend this beautiful restaurant !

Hands down this is one of the best and most consistent restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. The food and the service are both top tier - as they have been for years.

Very pleased with the excellent, authentic Italian food here and the attentive service by Sonia. They have an extensive choice of specials, and I had the mussels which were some of the best I ever had, fresh and tender, expertly prepared in a white wine sauce. I then had the Snapper Florentine, also expertly prepared, with al dente, linguine. Topped everything off with an espresso and festive specialty dessert. I am always looking for a high-quality or authentic food in the area, and am glad that I found this place. Will definitely return.
