“Best of Lighthouse Point! Whether indulging in pasta, pizza, salad, or all of the above your expectations will be exceeded every time! Prompt service with attentive service from start to finish; no question as to why it is packed almost every night!“

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

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

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

“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 .“

“Great choice for dinner“

“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.“

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

“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 😊“

“Anthony’s is simply great! They were able to accommodate us with a last-minute dinner reservation, and as always, the experience did not disappoint. The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch—Diana in particular was amazing! The staff is consistently attentive and friendly every time we visit. Tonight, we started with the Calamari, Caesar, and house salads. For our mains, we had the Mussels in red sauce, Eggplant Parmigiana (do yourself a favor and ask for it with the Bolognese sauce—absolutely worth it! Thank me later!), and the Mussels & Clams in champagne sauce. We wrapped up with a perfectly done Crème Brûlée for dessert. The drinks are strong, tasty, and always hit the spot. Every dish was delicious, and not a single complaint from anyone in our group—which is rare! We’re already looking forward to returning soon.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing experience. First time here. Matt was my sandwich maker and these guys are really good at making 💣 sandwiches.

I was impressed by how full eating half my sandwich left me and how delicious it was.
I ordered the italian special sub no mayo no mustard no pickles no hot peppers. This thing was DELICIOUS.“

“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!“

“Excellent food!!! Un restaurante Familiar, la mejor comida Italiana. Las mejores empanadas, golfiados , cachitos ,etc Venezolano“

“An excellent dining experience. Everything about It is first class.“

“More stars are needed!! This place is one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. My husband and I happened to stumble on this place walking to a music venue. White table cloths, water in wine glasses, it is FANCYYYY. But even us walking off the street (without a reservation) we were treated with the same attention & respect as anyone. What I assume is the owner, didn't hesitate to serve us, take our used forks between meals and replace them, and fill our water glasses when low. Clearly takes pride in the establishment. Pricing not bad AT ALL for the level of service! If you find yourself in South Florida and need some authentic Italian in your life, you need THIS place!!!“

“Excellent! Was driving up 95 and got an urge for a pizza and found this on the map. Once I found out they make the bread fresh for the subs, I went with the Italian sub. It was outstanding, so was the salad that came with it. I'll have to come back and try the pizza another time. Excellent service as well!“

“Hands down the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy in a decade. Highly recommended this for locals and travelers, it’s worth the trip 😋“

“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!“

“Awesome spot for brunch, lunch or dinner.“

“Atendimento excelente, ambiente agradável e pizza igualzinha a do RJ.“

“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!“

“Good place! I recommend it to everyone!“

“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.“

“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.“

“But no Bloody Mary’s Other than that great“
