The sauce is perfectly seasoned and adds such a rich flavor to the dish, making it our go-to choice. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. I’d highly recommend La Bella to anyone in the area; if you’re nearby, don’t miss out on this local treasure!“

“Best shrimp and grits in town!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Anthony's Runway 84 in Fort Lauderdale with my cousin, celebrating her birthday, and my mom, who was visiting from out of town. It was an unforgettable experience, and every detail added to the joy of our evening. To start, we had the baked clams and shrimp oreganata—absolutely fantastic. Both appetizers were cooked to perfection, flavorful, and seasoned just right. Then came the main courses: I chose the lamb chops, which were excellent, and my cousin ordered a steak with a sauce that she still can’t stop raving about. And let me tell you, the twice-baked potato was pure heaven—a perfect blend of textures and flavors that made it an indulgent treat. Carlos, our waiter, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and super helpful with recommendations. The host, either Joe or Michael, was also the best, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you’re looking for a place with delicious Italian-American fare and an inviting, classic ambiance, Anthony's Runway 84 is a must-visit in Fort Lauderdale. We can’t wait to return!“

“Food reminded me of home. ????. Today was my first time and best believe it WONT be my last. The lady that served me was so pleasant...I should have asked her name so I can give her a shout out but next time I will. Yummy food..? I got a oxtail and fry chicken meal and trust me it's the best oxtail I've had since I left home. Big up to the chef.“
