Made fresh in-house every day, our mozzarella is milky, tender, and mild, with a faint layer of cream that gushes a little when you slice it. We make both fresh mozzarella and burrata daily.

    Had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner here. We have been here before but not for thanksgiving. The service was wonderful, our server was on top of things constantly. Dinner was delicious, traditional Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Dessert was yummy, carrot cake, I just wish they had apple or pumpkin pie but it was still good. It wasn't too loud which was nice to have conversation without yelling . Would probably go next year. I love this restaurant for lunch or a nice Italian dinner out.

    What an experience! Started off with a seafood risotto that Steve sent to our table as a gift. So good! Service was top tier, food was delicious. We had a duck bolognese, veal chop, grouper, and chicken with sausage dish. I see why they’ve been in business for 30+ years. First time there, will definitely recommend & be back.

    It’s simply the best restaurant in South Florida. But don’t tell anyone because I don’t want the secret to get out. Celebrated my birthday there again this year. Salvatore always makes every experience there extra special. This time I tried the short ribs and gnocchi special as did half our table. Exquisite!
