I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone ever. We were treated horrible and management was so rude we walked out. Instead of apologizing they were talking at me with an attitude pointing hands and when I called the guy out on it explaining that he was escalating my frustrations the way he was talking at me his excuse was " well this is the way I talk" So unprofessional and run by inexperienced staff who have no idea how to treat paying customers. We made a reservation online and even called to request a booth because it was our anniversary and were told -yes it wouldn't be a problem. We showed up and they wanted to sit us in a community table ( smack in the middle). Mind you the entire restaurant was empty. Never once heard the word " sorry" or " we apologize ". Went to Del Fricso across the street and had a lovely meal and service was amazing.

Don't bother! A lot of money for disappointing food. Had reservations at Tuscan prime with a large group and big plans to spend some money. Our table of 16 was assigned one waiter and one bar back. We found ourselves waiting for drinks and pouring our own bottles of wine. For appetizers we ordered the crispy calamari, tuna tartare, and burrata & proscciutto. I truly don't have anything to say about any of the appetizers. They were forgettable and I wouldn't waste your money. For dinner I ordered a skirt steak with a lobster tail and roasted Brussel sprouts. I was served in New York strip. Over cooked and not what I wanted at all. The lobster tail was overcooked. And the roasted Brussels sprouts were basic. The most basic I've ever had. The atmosphere of the restaurant far exceeded the food. There's so many other options skip this place and try the next.

It's a shame such a beautiful restaurant with a prime location has such TERRIBLE service and food! Don't even bother visiting this restaurant if you're looking for quality food... my husband ordered the prime burger and the local McDonald's .99 burger and fries tastes better!

This place was terrible. This location is notorious for bad restaurants and this one just continues the trend... Tried this restaurant for a birthday, party of 9, and thee service was awful. Never encountered a waiter that throws the food down on the table, doesn't acknowledge that you didn't touch your food because it was cold and disgusting, and was just rude and completely unresponsive/helpful. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. Plenty of much better places to go on Las Olas.....

Five star Happy Hour for sure! I've visited for HH four times and I enjoyed each visit immensely and so did my guests. The indoor ambiance is very appealing and the outdoor seating is nice as well. The appetizers and flat breads are half price from 3pm-7pm and so are the drinks priced $16 and under, can't beat that bargain! My favorite appetizers are the Tuscan Market Platter, which is an exceptional cheese and meat platter, and the Truffle Wild Mushroom flatbread with the cauliflower pizza crust. The Prosciutto & Fig flat bread with the cauliflower crust is another very pleasing option. On top of it all, we were given complimentary bread with an eggplant dip. The service is exceptional too. Our server, Georgia, was fun, friendly and gave straight up advice with the menu options. I highly recommend that you check out Tuscan Prime for their Happy Hour, I'm confident that you'll have great food and drinks and a fabulous time!

A coworker of mine sung Tuscan Prime high praises for happy hour, and considering another coworker and I were looking for just that, we went and killed some time prior to going to see Aladdin at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. We sat at the bar. Joel was our bartender. He was cheerful and informed us quickly about the happy hour specials. To keep it short and sweet, starters, flatbreads, and drinks $16 and below were half off. Ended up order two glasses of wine to start off with. Mine was a rosé and it was crisp and refreshing. My coworker's was a white wine, and well, she seemed pleased with it. As starters, we shared the bruschetta avocado and crispy calamari. The bruschetta avocado consisted of toasted Italian bread, avocado, tomato, fresh mozzarella, and basil. The crispy calamari meanwhile came with two sauces. Have to say the bruschetta avocado was quite fresh. I could have easily finished this starter off myself. As for the calamari, it had a crunch and the sauces added to the already tasty flavor. As for our mains, we went for some flatbreads. A pepperoni and a prosciutto and figs one. Can't comment on the pepperoni as I didn't try it, but the prosciutto and figs flatbread hit the spot. The prosciutto and figs flatbread incorporated many flavors together. Prosciutto and figs obviously, as well as mozzarella, parmesan, and balsamic glaze. This was a clear winner. I'd like to return and see what else they have to offer.

This restaurant spung up where Grill 401 used to be and it's now our second time enjoying their happy hour. This last time we came on New Year's Day and even though they had limited staff everything was perfect. They have a terrific happy hour menu if you look italian food. ALL their drinks $16 and under are half off (Wine, Cocktails, Beers) which I thought was pretty good and their appetizers are half off. We've order now all their appetizers and they are all delicious. One thing I am on the fence is their truffle popcorn which they give out at the bar. The truffle smell is quite strong and can be off-putting and having a popcorn machine in what seems an elegant restaurant doesn't quite match the vibe. In my opinion their cocktail menu needs some work, they didn't have any solid vodka cocktails. Looking forward to our next trip to try our their pasta and steaks.

What a great restaurant! The inside decor is so modern, yet so classy as well. It's beautiful. Our server was Demario, and service was top notch and the food was so tasty. We started off with the Eggplant appetizer and shared the chicken piccata and churrasco. Everything was seasoned perfectly and so tasty. I can't wait to return.

Really good option for some Tuscan food in Fort Lauderdale. We went on New Year's Eve and they were able to accommodate us even though we didn't have a reservation. As an appetizer we asked for some shrimp cocktails. The size of those shrimp wet huge!!! Like baby arms.... really fresh l. The wife and me order the two different dishes of Veal, and they were both spectacular. As far as service our waiter was very attentive, and nice. She did mess up with the drinks, and in her defense the place was packed. Really nice dinner.

This is the worst place me and a group o friends have ever eaten. We arrived and the hostess looked at us as if we were lost so we wonder around until she decided to greet us. We were sat at a booth close to the side exit what a nightmare. Drinks took for ever and all wrong food was probably the worst Italian wanna be dood we have ever had. Rib eye at best select but they call it prime lobster ravioli stinky calamari chewy filet dry and grainy and the papardelle so bad and tasteless the only good thing was the decor and the moment we left good luck if you ever go
Had a Pauly's Picks voucher to use so went to Tuscan Prime on a Saturday Night. The Valet is on the far side of the building closer to the restaurant YOLO. As for ambiance, Tuscan Prime wasn't too packed but the place looks immaculate. Beautiful design in regards to all aspects of the place. Their service is top notch, our waiter and the other staff were very cordial and attentive. Their 3-7pm happy hour (50% off apps, flatbreads, and drinks under $16) was a welcome sight however it's only for bar, lounge, and patio seating so we weren't able to take advantage of it. Ended up getting Calamari and the Giant Meatball for starters with a large Caesar Salad to share. The Calamari was good while hot however I found the Meatball to be a tad too cheesy tasting. The Caesar was really tasty. It looked like the salad was lacking dressing but every piece of Romaine was coated with just the right amount. For the entrees we went with Fettuccine Alfredo w/ Chicken and Broccoli, Chicken Parm, and Zuppa di Pesce. The Alfredo sauce was made one of the ways I really enjoy, with a little garlic and butter/oil melding with the creaminess. From other's accounts the Zuppa was terrific, with giant pieces of seafood and the Chicken Parm was good too. Got the Creme Brulee for dessert. Was the perfect finale before entering a food coma. With the voucher and a gift card won from a baby shower our bill ended up being $30 less than the tip hehe, gotta save them Benji's!!! Would come back in the future!

Want a little "prime time"?? Well look no further than Tuscan Prime, an Italian steakhouse for pastas and steaks. The place has lovely decor and I love the tree in the bar area. Best time to come is during their happy hour as they have some great deals and draw a decent crowd. They have different specials each night so go on line and check it out. I usually sit at the bar so Joel and Lou are great to talk with and they are definitely service focused. My drinks are well poured, they make really good wine suggestions, and Lou even remembered what kind of wine I liked the other night when I couldn't! Go figure! The bar area is nice as they open the windows around the bar, opening it to the outside. And outside they usually have live entertainment. The woman that was there the other night was amazing! I could have sat there and listened to her all night. The food is good. The pastas are well prepared (try the vodka penne, lobster ravioli or the fettucine alfredo) and my steaks are cooked to perfection. The salads are good and even the flat breads make me want to go back. Prices are what you would expect at a steakhouse. And if you drive, they have valet parking on the side street or there's a parking garage across the street. Looking for a prime experience? Check out Tuscan prime!

Decided to try a new restaurant after the Christmas pageant with some friends. Let's start with decor! It was beautiful! Very well Decorated. With it being Christmas time they has a bit of extra decorations such as a Christmas tree, garland and lights lining the windows, giant nutcracker, etc. it was fabulous. Moving on to the food. We started with muscles. It comes in a garlic white wine sauce. They would be something I order again. You get a pretty good portion and three pieces of thick bread. I also go the truffle porchini risotto and added scallops bc frankly it needed some sort of meat. The risotto was creamy and a very healthy portion. It was ok, but was missing something. Needed a bit more of something. My companions got lobster ravioli and had nothing but good things to say. We also tried the Crema brûlée and it was made perfectly! A lot of places mess it up frankly but this was delicious. Overall I would def go back. Will try the happy hour next time

First the positive: the Decour is beautiful and the staff is very gracious and attempts to be especially helpful. But that is where it ends. The menu offerings are mediocre at best, None of the food especially stands out, and somewhat overpriced. We tried it several times, three to be precise, and have yet to find anything that is especially appealing. And if you are interested in a pleasant environment for friends to be able to chat and hear each other, this is not the place. Each time we have been there the volume of the music and the conversation has made it necessary to shout across the table to be heard.

One of the best restaurant experiences in Ft Lauderdale. Service is very attentive, set in a unique and authentic Italian modern atmosphere and real family style cucina, oh and what a great Olive tree at the entrance, a real treat.
