A newcomer in the Boca food scene in summer 2013, this place has brought a piece of South Florida’s burgeoning foodie ethos to town. Owners Albert and Melanie Aletto opened the spot earlier this summer, and they brought in some heavy hitters from Delray Beach. Both chef Anthony Fiorini and general manager Oliver Tito have […]
Italian in Broward Palm Beach
Showing 1 - 22 of 72
The menu here is full of tapas, pizzas, salads, calzones, and other traditional Italian eats. More than a dozen varieties of pizza with red or white sauce dominate the menu and arrive perfectly crisp from a wood-fired oven that anchors an open kitchen.
This restaurant in a former home is cozy and warm, and you can’t go wrong with pretty much any order. Expect richness and decadence from menu items including veal bone marrow served with pane casareccio, homemade bucatini with wild boar ragout or carbonara.
Anthony’s has the best pizza this side of Italy – the blackened, bubbly crust is so authentic, you can taste ancient culinary history in it. That’s thanks to a coal-fired brick oven that not only cooks outstanding pies topped with everything from cauliflower and arugula salad to breaded eggplant but also roasts chicken wings, beef […]

Anthony’s has only been around since 1981, but its feel is decidedly old Fort Lauderdale, as in, the retirement community for New York wanna-be wiseguys in need of a decent meatball. The “Italian Sunday feast” is a house special of meatballs, sausage, and pork rib with rigatoni.
The name speaks for itself – the place is indeed a deli that makes wonderful hot and cold subs – but it does neglect to inform you that this takeoutery is also a fabulous gourmet market. Imported goods from the well-heeled boot range from truffles in oil to stoned olives to marinated white anchovies. Fresh […]
There’s something inherently elegant about white tablecloths. At the Zagat-rated Bistro Mezzaluna located in Lauderdale’s yachting district, it’s not unusual to find yacht crew and boat captains dining in a pair of shorts alongside an affluent regular crowd. Executive Chef Brian Rutherford has prepared an eclectic menu with an Italian touch of simple, comfort foods […]
When these folks boast that the dishes here are stewed up from Italian family recipes unlike any other, they’re not kidding – these concoctions practically have a signature on them. From Buffalo-wing pizza, which is much more delicious than the novelty it sounds like, to veal medallions sautéed with tomatoes and mushrooms and topped with […]
Owners Giacomo and Melody have been pleasing patrons of upscale Italian cuisine since opening this romantic spot in 1985. Innovative culinary combinations like gorgonzola-crusted rack of lamb with Marsala date sauce or grilled salmon with pink grapefruit and Merlot sauce are exceptional, and so are all the homemade pastas. Great food and service, romantic ambiance, […]

To many Americans, Italian food is Southern Italian: period. While we tend to favor eating our way through the entire spectrum of the peninsula, we wouldn’t have a problem with the red-sauce-only notion if we could keep coming back to Cafe La Buca in Delray Beach. Not the most elegant and not the most expensive, […]

The most romantic spot in Fort Lauderdale if you happen to be craving homemade pasta — Vico’s does it best. Standout dishes include family-sized lasagna, chicken-filled raviolis, and their famous osso buco.
This funky hole-in-the-wall on the Intracoastal Waterway plays second fiddle to its funkier next door neighbor, world-famous hamburger joint Le Tub. Flicker Lite survives on an old neon sign, word-of-mouth, an emphasis on sports, and proximity to its famous friend. Flicker Lite’s ATM has saved many Le Tub newbies from washing dishes since it’s cash-only […]

Located amid the Hooters, Fat Tuesdays, and various other tourist fare in Beach Place, Da Big Kahuna Restaurant and Tiki Bar brings a little bit of the West Pacific to the A1A plaza. The ocean air runs through the third-story spot as ocean-themed murals cover the walls and ocean views surround the patio. Tikis stand […]
Todd English: He’s the sort of celebrity chef who makes women swoon and men curl their upper lip in jealousy. It’s not enough that he’s dashing, sophisticated, and has his face plastered literally everywhere, from glossy mag covers to Bravo’s Top Chef; he’s also built an empire out of an absurd number of restaurants in […]
Grocery stores around South Florida are pretty boring. You have your Winn-Dixie, your Publix, the occasional Albertson’s, and a handful of independents. And that’s about it. Seems as if there should be more competition in a region with five million hungry souls. Thank God for Doris’s places. These stores, which are located in Hollywood, Sunrise, […]
Proprietor Lynne Esposito, a veteran pizzeria owner from Long Island, bakes a “diet pizza,” at this Davie spot, which is made with low-fat cheeses and a whole-wheat crust (for the natural-foods sticklers among us). Of course, purists can feast on regular ol’ New York-style pizza, not to mention calzones and other Italian entrées. They just […]
