Average food, moderate prices. Sat “outside” basically on the sidewalk with people walking between tables with their dogs, and loud car traffic. One rude person did not curb their dog a few feet from us. What a mistake to eat outside here.

This might be a long one, and a lot of people might not read. However, I was not paid to write this review or any of my reviews. That being said, my friend Dave and I went to @Sapido Italian Restaurant for dinner for my Birthday. Please note that I'm Jamaican, and he is Italian. We have been exchanging cultural experiences. He made a reservation, but they take walk-ins if not busy, and you can all sit outside.Our serve was #Simona I think that is how she spelled her name. Dave and her were chatting about italy and where they came from the family background. I was listening as well. If you check the star, the service got 4 because I thought the bread should have come sooner when we sit, and the Oliver and Balsamic vingeratte should have been on the table before we got there.So let's get down to the food. The names of the were Rigatoni alla Boscaiola (homemade pasta, ham, mushroom, sausage and creamy Panna white sauce) that is what I had it was Great and well ?. However, my Jamaican came out in me to add a little twist. I hope the manager for @Sapido try this that I am about to tell them. I added the Oliver oil and the Balsamic vingeratte to the dish. OMG, it was DELICIOUS. I cleaned that plate with some additional bread that my friend Dave as for, has he was showing me what they would do in Italy. 5 stars period. Chef kisses.Dave dish was the Gnocchi al Pesto it was great as well, and I did taste it. With the homemade pesto. It was really good.Let me tell you about the desert. Lord Jesus. I promise you should have a desert, but please try the Panna Cotta and the Tiramisu both are homemade. It was light, and it did fill the small space was let. Not sweet but delicious. (You don't need to mix both. You can have them separately)The atmosphere was family like and lovely, small but intimate and friendly environment. If you look in one of the pictures, you will see that the chef photo boomed one of us pictures, which was great.This was not expensive and you can have a group as well. Very beautiful, and I promise to go back and. Visit and hope they will get the 5 for service next time.Thank you, xoxo.

Best meal in Ft Lauderdale!!! This was a last minute booking and it was fantastic! Very few tables and a little off Las Olas, which was great to get off the main restaurant/shopping area. A couple tables outside and maybe 8-10 tables inside. Very cozy and intimate experience. The bruschetta(3 way) was incredible. I had the pomadora, husband had the bolognese and our daughter had the white cream sauce(can't remember the name). We all loved our meals!! We spent a couple hours there and it felt more like a true Italian eatery. This will be my new go-to when we are back in the area!

We go to this spot often- tonight was very different experience. We had a 630 reservation and were told to hurry up and leave at 740. Food was not as usual- actually quite a bit below the normal standard- we were so surprised we asked if the restaurant was sold to new owners. Not sure when we will return- quality of food and service substantially below expectations.

Great little Italian restaurant, food was very good.
We took our family here for a late dinner. I liked that I could easily make online reservations. It’s very small and intimate. There were only a few tables of people on dates and a bachelorette party when we visited. The service was good. The pizza and salads were good. We enjoyed the lovely atmosphere.For families:I have tween children that are accustomed to nice dinners, but I wouldn’t say it’s very child friendly. If you have really young kids, I would go else where.

What a find! Food, people, and ambiance are all top-notch. The Bresaola Carpaccio was delicious, and a generous serving for 2, Both the spaghetti alla carbonara and ravioli al porcini had wonderfully balanced flavors, and the pastas were cooked absolutely right. Can't wait to go back and explore the menu. Limited seating, so good to make a reservation to avoid disappointment!

Today, looking for a place for Italian food, I searched for references on Google and the GPS took me to this place and I can assure you that it exceeded all my expectations, the place is beautiful, small, super warm, familiar and with tremendous quality service. Julieta and Claudio attended me, both with a true vocation for service. I ordered several things, but the most notable are: Bresaola, Rucola E GranaBruschetta Rustica TricoloreLobster RavioliSalmone Al Limone, they are a 10/10.It is ideal for a family meal and also for a romantic date. It is a place that works for everything. I was super satisfied and so were my children. It is an ideal place. Thanks for everything guys, amazing work

Went for a double date. The food was delicious and we loved the atmosphere. There was only one server for about 5 tables on a Tuesday night, though, and although he was good, it was too much for him. Other than that it was a pretty nice experience.
