Easy parking

Our waitress Erika made the evening! She was welcoming and helpful, explaining everything from the specials: cheese wheel pasta and tomahawk steak.

Atmosphere was casual and we had a nice booth
Service was prompt
Food came out quickly and everyone was so attentive and helpful
From steaks to pasta to dessert it was all delicious

If we lived closer we would be regulars!!!!“

“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“

“The service at Vitolo is always outstanding, and our server Victor was FANTASTIC. We loved the live music, it wasn't intrusive or so loud that you couldn't have a conversation over it, and the singer was exceptional. The food and cocktails were just as good as we remembered. We LOVED the Martini Monday deal! We'll be back, and we'll be bringing friends.“

“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.“

“Absolute Gem, AMAZING SERVICE, food was Outstanding. Great Entertainment Shawn the staff, well done!! We will definitely be back.“

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

“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.“

“When we got stranded without baggage and only the gym clothes on our back for a night, these folks welcomed us in with open arms when no other restaurant in the area would because we didn’t meet their dress code. Food was wonderful as was the staff. Thanks y’all!“

“Always check to see if Buca is at whatever city we are visiting, never disappointed“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“This is the best Italian cuisine in Broward County and the state of Florida for that matter!“

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

“It's always a pleasure to dine at Sapido—one of the few truly authentic Italian restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. My wife and I visit regularly or order from home, and the flavors never disappoint. The dishes are consistently genuine and full of character. This time, I had the fettuccine with Bolognese ragù, while my wife ordered the Pastore pizza topped with a mix of cheeses—both were outstanding. We finished with the tiramisu, which was perfectly portioned and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend stopping by Sapido if you're in downtown Fort Lauderdale!“

“We love this restaurant. The food is amazing an the service impeccable. I had the pumpkin ravioli last night, it was to die for. Our guest had the crabcake appetizer which was huge. My husband went for the pizza and it was wonderful as always. You cannot go wrong with this restaurant.“

“We had Chicken San Marco and Snapper Franchese which were both excellent. Our server was fast, effiicient and very friendly: altogether a wonderful experience. We will be back with company.“

“My sister and I are here on vacation and tonight was the best food we’ve eaten so far. The service and the food was amazing! Maria the owner is awesome! It was an honor to meet you and your family tonight. See you again soon! The Jersey sisters 🇮🇹😎“

“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!“

“Mannino’s is a hidden gem in Tamarac! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family with warm, attentive service. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming—perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out.

The food is absolutely outstanding. The pasta is fresh, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and every dish tastes homemade. We tried the chicken parmigiana and pizza—both were incredible. Portions are generous, and the garlic rolls are a must-have.

It’s rare to find an Italian restaurant where everything—from service to food—exceeds expectations, but Mannino’s delivers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Italian cuisine.“

“Looking for a genuine Italian dining experience? Look no further! This restaurant offers premium Italian cuisine, reminiscent of dining in Italy. 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! ?????“

“First time at Carrabba’s, and I am very impressed. Minus the tiny octopus 🤣🤣 food was delicious and fast! Drinks were great! Chocolate cake they brought for my birthday was orgasmic. Can’t wait to eat my leftovers!“

“exceptional quality of the dishes, creamy truffle gnoccki with perfect seasoning, octopus served with potatoes also delicious and lasagna with a delicious homemade tomato sauce, no room for dessert, we will come back at least once a week. The server is very attentive and smiling. incredible discovery of a marvel of great Italian cuisine“

“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!“

“Charming place with amazing food. Enjoyed the whole atmosphere. Great service. Would definitely recommend. Went out of their way to make my wife's dish just the way she wanted, even though it was not on the menu. Top notch...we will be back.“

“1st time visit -- WOW!! Great service, GREAT drinks, and GREAT food --- My compliments to the entire staff and to their leader, Anthony 'TOTO' Valenti What a well-oiled machine that delivers for their patrons!! We will be going back!“

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

“Good place! I recommend it to everyone!“

“Service was very slow. Portions were small and I am not a bog Ester. Prices were very high considering the paltry size of the serving. Desert menu, particularly the pie and Gelato was also very expensive, consiering the tiny size of the serving. Having said all that, the food what little there was. Is very good.“

“Love it here always a pleasure“

“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.“

“We decided to have the deep dish pizza between the 3 of us ,my wife was out . We ordered the large while driving there so it would be ready by the time we got there ,service was great and friendly and the pizza arrived shortly after we got there .. it was 10/10 for me and my kids loved it as well the sauce was delicious and there was just enough cheese and didn't have to add anything ,the spices were on point and ate the whole pie. I will definitely be going back when I want another deepdish .“

“Our first time and what a wonderful experience. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The food came out fast and hot and was very tasty! We had the caprese salad, margarita pizza and gnocchi in pink sauce. All was delicious!!! We most certainly will be coming back and spreading the word!!“
