Disappointed. The restaurant was cute inside. The manager/owner and waitress were rude. The food was very good surprisingly but because of the attitude the overall rating I would give is not very desirable. It ruined the experience. The desserts were just okay, nothing to write home about. There are so many great restaurants in Fort Lauderdale where they can learn from. Change the attitude and you might have something at hand here. Restaurants are difficult enough to manage but ones with good food and piss poor attitude can ruin the experience and this one did. Beware of the $10 sharing charge even if you order an appetizer as your meal. The overall rating was a 4, thumbs down.

Loved this charming restaurant within a market — the shelves are lined with pastas and sauces, and you sit at a table with delicious bread and wine. We had lovely pastas and the servers were charming.

Three of us "friends of long-standing" just walked in one evening, not knowing what to expect. Virgilio himself took personal care of us. Food and wine was fabulous, we'll be back.

We come down two times a year from NJ. Sometimes as a couple, other times with kids and grandkids... We've been coming here for probably 7 years. Each time we are BLOWN away! The food has to be the BEST Italian food I've ever had... and I'm from NJ! Osso Bucco Ravioli in a butter sage sauce was becypne outstanding! Thank you for ALWAYS proving our family with a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. You make us feel like family! Continue to amaze!
