Ciao Ammore trattoria

The best Italian food I have ever had in my entire life! This is exactly what I would imagine eating a meal in Italy is like. This place is a real experience, the owner herself served us while her family worked along side her throughout the restaurant; she truly made us feel welcomed, and I believed her when she told us this is the exact food she would serve to her family. The Fettucine Cacio e Pepe was TO DIE FOR! I could eat it every day and never get tired of it. The wine selections and pairing recommendations are perfect, the appetizers and deserts are exquisite. Overall one of the best experiences I have had and I plan to come back the next time I am in Ft Lauderdale.

Molto Benne Signora, Grazie Mille!

Ciao Ammore is a true gem! From the moment we stepped in, it felt like coming home. This local business serves up the most authentic Italian cuisine we’ve ever tasted outside of Italy. The warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and incredible food make every visit a delight. The pasta is perfectly al dente, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and the desserts are to die for. You can tell everything is made with love and tradition. If you’re looking for a genuine Italian experience, Ciao Ammore is the place to go. Five stars all the way!

They were busy, so it took a while for the server to get to us. There was an issue with one of our dishes, but it was immediately rectified. Our server was so friendly, her female helper seemed miserable! The young lad worked hard.

We went on a Saturday night. After calling multiple times during the week to get someone to answer the phone, I made a reservation for 6:30. Upon arriving at 6:30, the server (maybe the owner)greeted me by saying I’m late for my 6pm reservation. I told her it was for 6:30.

The server who may be the owner was not welcoming at all. She took our order by asking what we wanted and not engaging in any conversation with us.

I came here due to the great reviews. A reservation is required during season to get a table.

We started with the caprese and added prosciutto. It was fresh and tasty.

The pappardelle pasta with mushrooms had no flavor. The menu described it as having a white sauce. The sauce was more oily like and not flavorful. The pasta was dry.

The lasagna and eggplant were great.

No one checked on our satisfaction of our meal. The complimentary bread is delicious.

Overall, the service fell short and doesn’t make me want to return. It is metered parking in the attached lot.

DIVINE! A tiny Cafe that transports you to the fresh eating of Italy. The Buffalo cheese was amazing paired w the balance of the thinly sliced prosciutto. The pasta dishes were amazing. The rigatoni with panceta was my favorite. The piece de resistance though was the pistachio and ricotta cake. We were very impressed and pleased they were able to enjoy this during our trip.

This is a local family owned restaurant with great unpretentious food. The cheese is home made so don't miss out on orderting some mozzarella or burrata for a shared appetiser. All the food was delicious and authentic.

This is Fort Lauderdale's hidden gem. They make great home-made mozzarella AND they make Bufalo Milk Mozzarella both freshly made right there in the shop.

They offer sandwiches that make you feel like we are back in Naples and the family are very nice people. You can stop in and enjoy the feeling of being back in Italy.

I would encourage everyone to support this local business it is important they we keep these mom and pop businesses up and running.

Ciao Ammore in Lauderdale by the Sea was ideal for last night's dinner as we were looking for an intimate spot and Valentina & her husband from Rome and team delivered. (PSA's open daily for dinner, pay-by- phone-parking, outdoor & indoor seating, beer & wine). Plenty of inviting hands welcomed us in and were struck by their charm and warmth. We were treated to rustic Italian bread which paired well with house made creamy burrata & freshest prosciutto. The full bodied Amarone Della Valpolicella, was the perfect compliment to the Lasagna (sans bechamel which I prefer) presented in it's own clay baker and absolutely fork tender, rich & delicious. The Cotoletta Primavera (Chicken Milanese) was lightly fried & seasoned perfectly, with arugula, tomatoes, shaved parmagiano & drizzle of balsamic glaze. These 2 comfort dishes for me, were as close to home that I make, but sometimes I just want to enjoy someone's else's talents. So Grazie and Grateful for the gift of old world, old school, hospitality🙏🏻
