Chef Luigi DiMeo’s menu parallels Anthony’s Coal Fired, with pizza balanced out by family-style house salads, oven-roasted wings, and a few pasta specials. But DiMeo says: “I’m not trying to copy anyone. This is what I know. I try to make it as close as I can [to authentic Neapolitan style].” Close may be the […]

Mancini’s has a voguish-looking interior with a huge, bristling chandelier, like a cluster of giant pods. But it’s on the broad sidewalk outside, where the restaurant has staked out an impressive chunk of Las Olas Boulevard with a couple of dozen linen-swathed tables, that you’ll see the deals being made. All the usual suspects are […]
This Deerfield pizzeria is an offshoot of a Brooklyn bakery that’s been operating for three generations. The walls are covered with photos of gangsters and Mob movies, and the food is all about family. Crisp, coal-oven pizzas are fresh and sport a flaky crust like a quality pastry. And Mona Lisa’s desserts are topnotch — […]
Pa’ Degennaro’s is the invincible old favorite of generations of pasta-craving Lauderdalians, a restaurant that through a couple of makeovers and many chefs has held onto its base clientele like a showman with a mad tiger by the tail. While over the years the interior and the chefs have changed, the food has remained much […]
For more than two decades, Pizza Mia, though it’s changed hands a couple of times, has been serving the same menu in its cramped, narrow space in Lighthouse Point – a walk-in closet lined with tables and bad murals – to the sound of slamming oven doors, the grumbling of the dour pizza guy (“I’ve […]

The concise menu here is slightly more extensive than at owner Gary Rack’s other venue, Table 42 Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar in Boca Raton (formerly Coal Mine Pizza). Both spots specialize in coal-fired pies but also offer starters, salads, and pastas; Racks adds a handful of fish, meat, and poultry entrées to the mix. […]
This cozy (40-seat) and romantic country-style Italian trattoria – it’s even on a canal! – has its share of pros and cons. It is pricy, and portions track toward the small end of the spectrum. Quibbles about service and built-in tips aside, Tuscan can be counted on for some decent Italian dishes – though most […]
Capsule description: Some might call Sardelli’s an expensive, ornate Italian steakhouse. Others might call it a welcoming, Italian family place that’s great for special dinners with friends and family. Both would be right. This is the latest project from the Sardelli family, who own Fulvio’s 1900 and have been feeding South Floridians for decades. Behind […]

Pizzas in this Coral Springs spot sport golden-brown crusts with a moderate amount of caramelized char along the lip. Because […]
