Just left from here, a great end to my trip in Florida. The food made me feel like I was in Italy. Some of the best Italian food I’ve had. So happy I came!

Excellent Italian food, prepared with a lot of love, the incredible flavors of its sauces. Pastas, meats, appetizers and desserts, a pleasure for the palate to be able to enjoy such delicious food.

Amazing food. Amazing service. We'll be back with friends.Vegetarian options: Most pasta dishes
The waiter told us about a fantastic special they had that was a 10 oz prawn over homemade pasta. My father, my brother and I all ordered that dish. Sounded delish! He later told us that they had run out of the 10oz prawns so we would be getting two 8oz prawns instead. Ok. Np.So all of our food comes out and I had a nice big prawn on my plate and a small tail. The waiter definetly said we would get two whole prawns, but whatever! After I ate the big prawn, I went to the tail and realized that it was completely empty. It looked like it had been deep fried or something. Like they took some old shells, deep fried them to kill and germs and popped it on the plate in the hopes no one would notice. Absolutely no meat in it. I said something to my father, and it was the same on his plate. Also on my brothers. So i decided to tell the waiter. I am not one to cause a stink normally but I expect to receive what I ordered. And especially since it wasn't cheap! I just thought it was odd to get a completely dry empty shell.So the waiter said “I will go find out what happened”. I saw him walk over to the manager and talk to him. So the manager (some guy with a slicked back ponytail) came over with a look on his face like he was already annoyed. I told him what had happened and he just turned around and walked away. Didn't say “I will look into it” or “sorry about that”. NOTHING! He never came back to the table and never said anything else to me. The waiter came back to the table towards the end of the meal and said “they are looking into the security cameras to see what happened in the kitchen and to see what came out. I am SO so so very sorry” as he shrugged his shoulders in utter confusion. Im sorry but WHAT?!!?! Come up with something more believable next time you want to blow off a customer.The waiter did all that he could but the manager needs a lesson in customer service.Never been treated like that before at a restaurant. No apology, no conversation…. NOTHING!Food was bland as heck also and took FOREVER to come out.Ever heard of salt?Never going back. Plenty of other places to eat around here!

The staff are super friendly and welcoming. I loved how friendly they were. They suggested great recommendations. We ordered a charcuterie board to start, and it was great! The bread was fresh and warm. The Barbabietole was the beets and goat cheese salad, absolutely delicious. Margherita pizza was a safe order but good choice, the dough is thin and tasty. We ordered a special, and it was a lightly breaded burrata with tomato and mushroom sauce. I think they should add that to the menu! I will definitely to back to try the pasta!

Many years ago, my husband and I ate in this restaurant frequently when it was on Federal Hwy in Ft Lauderdale. Food was always exceptional, authentic Italian and delicious. We were crushed when it closed and for years searched to try to find if it had opened elsewhere. This was over 25 years ago so an Internet search was difficult. We came across this restaurant last night while driving through a shopping mall in Parkland. I saw the name and did a quick search and it’s the same owner! We parked, walked in, and were lucky enough to get a table and seated (it was early). Chef Luciano the owner, came over and greeted us and we were treated like family. This new Italian restaurant has a modern, upscale feel with a bright dining area as well as seating at the bar. The food was just as delicious as we remember! We had a beautiful Margherita pizza with a crust that was lightly charred, with the dough pillowy and delicious. I had the recommended Truffle Ravioli in the Brown Butter Sage Sauce that was delicious. The ravioli pasta was perfectly al-dente, with a flavorful truffle ricotta filling dotted with crispy sage-it was a very large portion. My husband had the Truffle crusted Salmon that he loved. A nice piece of salmon that was perfectly cooked to his request with a flavorful truffle crust and plated with roasted potatoes. The wine choices were lovely. Even the focaccia in the bread basket was fluffy and delicious. We had to try dessert so we ordered the chocolate cream puff and the Mango Tierra Misu. I think we were so excited to find the restaurant that we ordered more than we ordinarily do, but everything was exceptionally delicious and we sent all of our plates back wiped clean! This is authentic Italian cuisine from an Italian chef who takes pride in the quality of his ingredients and the creativity of his plates. We’re lucky to have him in our own community and after such a long search, we’re so happy to to welcome Chef Luciano and his staff here. We’ll be back again soon.

Best authentic Italian food in Parkland, this is quickly becoming our new go-to restaurant, the staff are always so welcoming and the service is amazing, especially Anthony! Manager always swings by the table to say hello. Love trying something different each time and each meal has been better than the last.

Awesome place. Really authentic food, as we’ve been multiple times. I’ve had several pasta dishes, Ossu buco, eggplant Parmesan, Branzino, and salmon. Everything was great. In addition, the service is great. They have a couple of waiters from Italy who are always fun.
