“We loved our food with great service! The mussels in a garlic marinara sauce were the best but more bread to dip would have been appreciated. I had Broiled Scrod with garlic roasted green beans topped with roasted red peppers. Others had broiled scallops, shrimp scampi, fish and chips. The fish dishes were delicious and being from Eastern Canada on the seashore, we were more than delighted to have had such great seafood in South Florida! Kudos to the Chefs and Kitchen Staff!! Have been here for 4 months and it was my preferred place for a meal. The portions were more than plenty! 5 stars to the Dania Fish Grill. March 09, 2023“

“Great atmosphere, great food always consistent. Had 20 of my friends there for New Year's Eve dinner. Place was packed as it usually is. Walter the owner was greeting guest as they were arriving. We had a 7 o'clock reservation, once we got seated our server Angie started with our drink orders. Let me tell you the service was impeccable; she was great dealing with 20 of us. From appetizers to the main course our food came to the table hot and delicious. Some of my friends were there for the first time and could not believe how well the place ran for a busy holiday. I want to thank Marco for helping set up the reservation and especially Angie our server. Thank you, Walter, for your hospitality. Anthony's is my new favorite place. Happy New Year!“

“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!“

“Súper rico! Un pedazo de 🇵🇪 en Pompano, la atención del chef fue excelente“

“Fabulous and delicious food! Ashley was a great waitress too! 10/10“

“One of my go-to spots in Deerfield Beach. The food is consistently very good, and we’ve never been disappointed. This review is specifically for dining at the bar. The bartenders are attentive, friendly, and make excellent cocktails. Add in the unobstructed ocean view, and it’s hard to beat the atmosphere.

One suggestion for the owners and management: the bar dining area is in desperate need of a renovation. The space feels tired, from the rust showing on the exposed ceiling pipes to the outdated TVs and overall worn appearance. The food, drinks, service, and view deserve a setting that matches their quality.“

“This is the second year that we choose to take photos and enjoy the panorama of the sea and enjoy the delicious food. I recommend it.“

“This is a great place to dine! Totally recommend it! Great costumer service thank you Omar & Mario“

“Our waitress Brenna made our already good dining experience 100 times better. She was so genuine, sweet, funny and down to earth. She went above and beyond standard customer service. She was so easy to talk to among other things like recommending dishes and making sure we were pleased from beginning to end. Her beautiful spirit was so easy for our family to connect with. The food was hot and fresh and it didn't take long to come to the table. The atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming as we were there to celebrate my son's birthday. Thank you, we will most definitely return.“

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