What a great place!!! Awesome ambiance, people and food. I have been wanting to come here forever and we finally made it. It did not dissapoint . Upon being welcomed personally by the owners, we were invited to pick our own wine, we were not in the mood for it, but later had beer. As appetizers we had both the cauliflower and the burratta, both were really good. For entree I ordered the pasta that is stuffed with pears (i cant remember the name) and my husband had the short rib risotto, both dishes were delicious and full of authentic italian flavor. Then we moved on to dessert, I ordered the fruit pie (again sorry, bad with names), too good to describe, so smooth and tangy and sweet at the time! But the highlight was my husband's tiramisu,to die for. Best tiramisu we ever had. Anyway... i could go on for hours, because we felt welcomed and in great familiar atmosphere, although we never stepped foot in this place before. We will come back, we will bring our kids and friends and family. We will continue to support local business, specially when they make you feel so welcome. We wish them many years of sucess! Thanks for a surprisingly and refreshing great night! I'm sharing pics of my half eaten food because i couldn't stop at the first bite... More...

Cute little restaurant that reminds you of a trattoria in Italy. Great menu that changes daily, run by a nice couple who are very friendly and helpful. No wine list, just pick a bottle off a shelf in the wine room. Be sure to make reservations. worth the trip. More...

Best hidden gem in all of Fort Lauderdale. The food is amazing but the atmosphere is not the snooty, uppity vibe like most places here. This was our second trip and they remembered us and welcomed us very warmly. Adore the way they share their menu and LOVE that it’s always rotating. Can not recommend enough!! More...

Soooooo good. The pear pasta was insane. The crab cake was all crab and not greasy, not dry and it was perfect. The short rib was great and the dessert was fan-damn-tastic.
