We love this restaurant that looks to be a hole-in-the-wall, but is actually one of the most elegant and high end restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. The atmosphere is sophisticated with Italian charm, the staff is classy and so knowledgeable, and the food always exceeds expectations. The clientele is posh as well and there is a wine list suited for everyone. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the daily specials that somehow always hit the mark. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
