Best Authentic Restaurants in Lauderdale Lakes

From the time we arrived and were greeted by our outstanding waiter, Juliano, to the final morsel, it was an excellent experience. Our meal choices were beautifully and attentively prepared by Chef Luigi. Apps - octopus insalata and homemade sausage and pasta sauced polenta were shared around the table and to very positive reviews. Our mains, shells with Bolognese sauce and fettuccine nero with shrimp, clams, and squid, were devoured with gusto. Tiramisu and a lemony crisp cookie topped with lemon-accented yogurt and fruit rounded out the meal. The lemon dessert was my choice and I easily could have eaten another - the sweet/tart combination was a perfect foil to the heavy main. Juliano, our waiter, was attentive and friendly, perfect for our group. His knowledge was appreciated in ordering our wine and discussing dishes - and an added bit of friendly banter was fun. I look forward to my next Pasta And… experience. Star Aasved Coconut Creek

We hosted our two great friends Thursday evening and received super service from Olivia and staff. Our meals were just right and delicious.

Service was incredibly slow but the wait staff seemed pleasant. Drinks took forever to make it to our table from the bar on both rounds of beverages that we ordered. I happened to arrive on ladies night and was told drinks were two for one until 8pm but after receiving the bill I was charged full price for both drinks. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and seemed to have a good vibe but due to the poor service, and mind you they were not busy when we arrived at 6:30 pm, I doubt I will return to this establishment.

A delightful surprise The food was delicious- fresh, tasty, well presented and the service was outstanding. At last I have found a good delicious pisco sour in fort Lauderdale. To top off the birthday lunch, the owner and chef came to the table- presented me with a bouquet of flowers and comped the appetizer and dessert. I have been to numerous restaurants and must say this topped them all.

My favorite Mexican restaurant!!! The margaritas are amazing. The service always makes me happy.
