“Excellent food and service ! ask for Adrian, great service. Carlos also came to check on us ! amazing“

“Don’t sleep on the Lunch Menu… those paninis are mind blowing. Everything from the fluffy, crispy bread, amazing fillings, and condiments blend together perfectly. It’s quieter and brighter at lunch, so a completely different vibe. Highly recommend!! Hubby loves short rib panini and I crave spicy vodka chicken or ya sista’s cutlet.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Complimeenti! Una vera pizza napoletana, degna della nostra grande tradizione.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ian made our night at Cucina Moderna. He was friendly and attentive without ever hovering, knew the menu inside and out, and his recommendations were spot on. Everything came out on time, our drinks never ran low, and he genuinely seemed to care that we were having a good time. Great service like this is hard to find, and it's a big reason we'll be back. Ask for Ian if you can!“

“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.“

“The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The environment was very welcoming and enjoyable. Everything we ordered was so good, and you can really tell they put care into the food and the overall experience. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to! Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try ❤“

“We get takeout and the pizza is always excellent! They listen to how you want it and make it to perfection. Their garlic rolls are sooo good too! We recently ordered their Greek salad and it didn’t disappoint. Love that they are just down the road!“

“Delicious food and attentive service.“

“We had lunch at Cucina Alfresco this week and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. The garlic rolls were some of the best we ever had and the pizza was perfectly prepared. We finished the meal with a wonderful homemade Tiramisu. I highly recommend Cucina Alfresco. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“An adorable dining room tucked into a corner of an office building.I had the branzino special with picatta - the fish was cooked to perfection unfortunately it was swimming in sauce. The specials came with vegetables but I had a real hankering for pasta. When I told my server she offered to swap the veggies for pasta something most restaurants won't do on specials. For dessert I ordered the house made brownie served with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious. All portions were right sized not huge like some Italian restaurants. Overall I was very pleased.“

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

“As a local of 40 years with 27 years hospitality experience, Livello’s is hands down the best Coral Springs has seen! Chef Bruno is a creative genius when his meticulous and well crafted menu. Your taste buds are in for quite an experience!“

“My friend and I decided to try Eddie and Vinny’s for the first time and we had such a great experience! We went later in the evening and from the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere was beautiful and inviting, the food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which made our first visit even better. We really enjoyed our night and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

We enjoyed fresh hot pizza and they accommodated for allergies!! Delicious wine and cannolis and flourless cake. Yummy Limoncello shots. Honestly this place was very good vibes!“

“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!“

“Phenomenal food & service. My Caesar salad was really delicious and beyond the expected with a grilled lettuce, and a unique take on croutons. It’s a must try! I had a carbonara which was equally delicious accompanied by their olive oil cake with a touch of a lemon zest. Soooo good. Highly recommend for anyone in FTL looking for delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere but still very beautiful. 10/10.“

“The food is amazingly delicious! Megan, who took our phone order, was so sweet and even made me laugh! Paul, who delivered the order, is always smiling and makes sure the food is hot! Thank you Antonio’s for everything and your amazing employees!“

“I can't fully express how exceptional this restaurant is. I organized a sunset cruise for a group of 24 guests, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the provisions (food) we were expecting. In a moment of panic, I contacted the owner, Jackson, and explained the situation, hoping for a backup plan within 30 minutes (sounds impossible 🥵). Not only did he agree to accommodate us, he immediately began preparing for us. Once we arrived, he and his team welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. Our table was beautifully set, complete with a customized and printed menu just for us. He chose 3 dinner options for our party and actually had custom printed menus! Wow!! Drinks, salad, and bread were flowing within minutes, and the food? Absolutely divine—without a doubt the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. To top it off, there was a live performer who was fantastic! Totally unexpected, we had no clue there was entertainment but such another great treat. She engaged with everyone, took song requests, and even invited guests to join her to sing. The entire experience, from the atmosphere to the impeccable service, was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Jackson even served our table personally and jumped in to assist his team, going the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and special. He continued to check in and make sure we were ok and had everything we needed and accommodated every single request ❤️ I am incredibly grateful for everything. Jackson and his staff turned what could have been a stressful situation into an unforgettable evening. This special group of oncology nurses truly deserved a memorable night, and thanks to you, we got exactly that. Thank you so much for making it an experience we will never forget! 🥰“

“We went tonight, 7 people outside, a beau night. It was very busy this evening. The restaurant was crowded, however they got our food out, without waiting too long. Everything was delicious!“

“One of best food in Coconut Creek and Parkland . Best combination of great staff and food .“

“The BEST Italian restaurant on Las Olas Boulevard!!“

“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.“

“Glad to find a restaurant that carries on the tradition of service - a rarity in Fort Lauderdale - with meals lovingly prepared, welcoming atmosphere, proper table settings, comfortable, unhurried, and sophisticated atmosphere. Not to mention the special northern Italian cuisine of the Po River valley! Piemontese bagna cauda, tagliolini, agnolotti, and the scrumptious Bonèt Piemontese - a chocolate flan with amaretti biscuits!“

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

“Had the special. It was is linguine in a marinaro sauce served with clams, muscles, and a nice size lobster tail. It was delicious! Sea food was fresh and didn’t disappoint. Absolutely delicious. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to return.“

“We had such an amazing experience! The service was exceptional from start to finish—everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made us feel truly taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and had such an authentic Latin-Italian feel.

We had the veal and the lobster ravioli, and both dishes were incredible. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the authenticity and care that goes into the food.

If you’re looking for an authentic Latin-Italian restaurant with amazing service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. We’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“A wonderful find, a great vibe and delicious home made food. Made with love.“

“Fantastic Food and cleanliness! The service and food here is excellent and I highly recommend the pizza, sub sandwiches, and their tiramisu!“

“Very pleasant visit as always, bar tender Greta was super nice and very attentive. The server Jose and Lucia were constantly checking in on us and made us feel Very welcomed and special. Going to Salumeria is like visiting a family owned restaurant, very homey and pleasant. The food and drinks were great, I had a Diavola pizza with ricotta which was magnificent and a tortellini ossobuco which was delicious and very tasty. Thank you to Salumeria for a wonderful experience. Will 100% come again!“

“Cozy, wonderful food great wine 🍷“

“I had such a great experience here tonight. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. We started with the calamari, which was cooked perfectly—light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The garlic rolls were insane… honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. We shared a house salad, and it was huge—definitely big enough to split. Everything tasted super fresh, and the balsamic dressing was perfectly drizzled and flavorful without being overpowering. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta. I’m pretty picky about marinara sauce (and I’m Italian, so I hold places to a higher standard), but everything was completely on point. The flavors, the sauce, the portion—just really well done. What made the experience even better was the owner coming over to talk to us. She shared details about the food and the restaurant, which made it feel really personal and welcoming. They also host special wine tastings at the end of the month with a curated menu, which I definitely want to come back for. We didn’t try the pizza this time, but I already know I’ll be back. They offer thin crust and even a deep dish that you can order ahead (about an hour in advance), which sounds amazing. It’s a smaller place, but it’s cozy, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the service was excellent. I’ll definitely be back—and next time I’m saving room for dessert (if I can stop myself from eating all the garlic rolls again).“
