“Welcome to Italian restoranti“

“We had a great experience at Sicilian Oven. The service was friendly and attentive, the food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were very generous. Everything we tried was really good.

We did wait about an hour to be seated, but it was a Friday evening, so it was understandable and definitely worth it. Overall, a wonderful dinner – we’ll be back!“

“Customer service is great, and there pizza is great“

“Amazing food and staff. Treated like family. Highly recommend!!“

“Went today to try this pizza. Ordered the Star Pizza recommended by waitress. Clever star shaped pie with delicious dough and tomato sauce. Could not find the spicy salami or the mozzarella. The ricotta cheese was bland and caused the dough to be soggy. Will not order this again, but do plan to return to try regular pies. Please, please ask wait staff to not clear table while guest is still eating. Place was not busy, no line waiting thus no need to rush .“

“Casa Calabria is one of our favorite hidden gems in Fort lauderdale everytime we visit, but Dominic makes our visits truly special. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care makes us always feel like family from the moment we sit down. Every time we're in south Florida, this is the place we go!! Dominic goes above and beyond with every detail—perfect timing, thoughtful recommendations, and the kind of hospitality you don’t forget. Dominic turns every great dinner into a memorable night. We’ll definitely be asking for him every time. ❤️🍝 The atmosphere is unforgettable and addictive! It's like youre in Italy in Fort Lauderdale, and that's what we were looking for! Everyone greets you with a smile. The food- is amazing and we have tried it all! Dessert and coffee is top notch and you can tell it's homemade. This place is authentic, fun, and very family friendly. We recommend this as a must try in Lauderdale, and recommend Dominic if you want a family oriented vibe! Tell him Cooper & Carson sent you!! And call him Domino 😊“

“Top notch pizza, salads, service, cleanliness. I'm a NY snob and this place rates with all the best places you know up there.“

“delicious real Italian food. had the Gnocchi a la Pesto. Very friendly staff 5 star $$$“

“Amazing food, the service was outstanding and our waitress was the best!“

“This is your 5 star with classic, real family ties, food. The service is always above what you would expect. You still see chef Angelo. Menu items have family roots. Fresh is always key but the food is hand selected. Pistachios from certain regions. Pork chops of a specific type. Prosciutto aged 24 months. Top notch! I’ve been dining here for over 15 years and have never had a bad experience.“

“Me and my family came to celebrate my birthday a couple weeks back. The owner, Fabio runs an amazing staff and is very warm and personable always smiling and making you feel like family. This cozy authentic Italian restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful desserts. I Highly recommend!“

“I've been attending the monthly wine pairing dinners at the Pompano Beach location, it is so much fun and very delicious. We've also made a few new friends at these dinners.“

“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!“

“Here is a review of the restaurant Pasta And... in Margate, Florida: Pasta And... in Margate, Florida is a hidden gem that serves up an exceptional dining experience. As a first-time visitor, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the attentive service. I had the pleasure of dining at Pasta And... while working as the DJ for a wedding being held in their event space. The room was beautifully decorated, creating a lovely atmosphere for the celebration. While I was there to work, the staff went out of their way to make me feel like a VIP guest. The star of the evening was Chef Luigi, who demonstrated his culinary prowess throughout my time at the restaurant. Though I did not know he was the chef at first, he made sure I was well taken care of, offering me a bottle of Pellegrino and various food tastings. When I finally told him to just bring me whatever he recommended, he delivered an off-menu dish of tender, flavorful lamb chops in a delectable sauce, accompanied by fresh, grilled vegetables. The food was truly exceptional - it melted in my mouth and left me craving more. I was amazed that this restaurant, which I had never heard of before, could produce such a high-caliber meal. What really sets Pasta And... apart, though, is the service. Chef Luigi went above and beyond to ensure I felt valued and appreciated, even though I was there solely in a working capacity. His hospitality and the special treatment he provided made me feel like a VIP rather than just a wedding DJ. I look forward to returning to Pasta And... in the future, this time with my karaoke skills in tow so Chef Luigi and I can put on a show together. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Margate area looking for exceptional Italian fare and unparalleled customer service.“

“The service was incredible. The drinks are amazing. The bartenders amazing when you know what you want you could tell something and they will come over an amazing creation. It will leave you speechless. Everything is so fresh and delicious and I will definitely be back for some more and don’t forget to order the dessert when I tell you, it’s homemade it’s like your grandma used to make it.“

“Delightful! Kind and thoughtful service. Delicious menu. Team has hustle.“

“I just moved to Florida three years ago and haven't found a good pizza place until we found Bella Amici. Best pizza hands down! Great thin crust!! Great service!! We are looking forward to trying all the great dinner entrees on the menu! Dozens to choose from! Can't wait! Took a menu to show people at my work and church!! Love it!“

“The food is amazing and incredibly well done. Portions are very generous for a very reasonable price, but the service was the absolute clencher for me. Our server was the absolute best and so friendly & knowledgeable of the menu. She made it a pleasure to be there and I couldn’t get enough of the amazing food from the starters to desert. Come here and enjoy an amazing meal with the absolute best service and atmosphere.“

“This Restaurant is a gem, being Italian I’m so happy we could find a real Italian restaurant! Chef Luciano is the best and we had a fantastic pizza Margherita and paccheri pasta with a lamb sauce that was divine! If you want to taste real Italian food, please go! You will have a wonderful culinary experience.“

“It's been a few years since our last visit, we had relatives in from New Jersey. We were 4 for dinner last nite Saturday evening. Make a reservation!! The service was/is outstanding. The Chicken Zuckerello, Chicken Michelangelo and the Chicken Scarpiello were delicious, flavorful and the portions are plentiful. We took the leftover Chicken Michelangelo and Chicken Zuckerello home and had them for dinner tonite. The Chicken Milanese could have been better, a little bland and quite dry. Overall, though, a great dining experience.“

The pasta is a must-try, and they cater to gluten-free dietary needs. Friendly hospitality guaranteed. Go and enjoy the authentic flavors of Italy! ?????“

“My husband and I have traveled all over Italy. He is a great cook, who rarely compliments most Italian restaurants in America, but thought this little gem was spectacular. The food was simple, fresh and delicious. A true Roman trattoria. Bravo Marco and Valentina. Will definitely eat here again!“

“Came in for half of wine night with my mother and we had stefany as our server. She was wonderful so warm and bubbly we ended up ordering some of her recommendations the goat cheese salad with chicken, a burrata appetizer and eggplant roll ups . Ask for Stefany when you stop in .“

“Just home from my fouth dinner at Mama Mia's with a group of friends down visiting from Rochester NY. Like my first review and my last two dinners (for which I'm remiss for not having reviewed), didn't disappoint. The food cooked Torino style by Mama, delicious, try the meat balls!, and Fredericka, Mama's daughter, and Gerald took great care of us table-side! Such a special new place! The fourth with many more to come!“

“I had the frittata and it was cooked so light and fluffy and perfect through and through. All the ingredients were bursting with flavor and the dish was so well balanced. As an appetizer for the table we ordered all the breads of which the garlic with marinara was my favorite. To finish after I ordered an espresso that was so smooth and strong I can wait to go back.“

“Brusco is a must try I judge Italian restaurants by the sauce or gravy but for starters we had bruschetta made to perfection with tomato and drizzled balsamic the pizza we had also for an appetizer was “Off The Hook Delicious “ for main dishes the spaghetti bolognese sauce was phenomenal and the chicken parmigiana with rigatoni was amazing and again “ O The Sauce” just like nonna’s and finally Chef Andre right from Italy will greet you at the table and the waitress Sue she is the best of all the rest!!!! Come Hungry the portions are generous!!!!“

“Was there Sunday night Dec. 7/25 with a very special and classy lady. Never been there before. We decided to get 3 slices of pizza. She got a deluxe slice and I got two slices with black olives. Sat down at a table outside. We were the only ones there for a while until another few people showed up. The pizza was wonderful. The outdoor ambiance and quiet calmness was wonderful. The girl who served us was wonderful. We enjoyed staying for quite some time after finishing our food being able to relax and talk to each other. No one minded us staying...
A fabulous time, and now that I know this place. I will definitely return often to enjoy great food and relaxed atmosphere. Hopefully along with my dear friend...“

“I've been going here for over 25 years, and I'll always go back for the best pizza in town.“
