Matchless world class dining, service and ambiance at without doubt one of "the" newest best restaurants in South Florida. Great for special occasions but definitely expensive at +/- $100-$150 per person on average for main entre, salad or appetizer, alcoholic beverage, coffee and desert. Food is absolutely "out of this world "delicious" and exceptional in every way! We will definitely be back!

Incredible dining experience. Chef Jonathan is surely on his way to a Michelin star. Everything from the moment we walked in made it an amazing culinary experience with incredible service. The oysters are a must have, oxtail candele pasta dish is a must. Highly recommend the iberico and lobster dish for the table. We will surely be back for more memorable visits.

My husband and I could not wait to try out Calusso and check out the new Pier 66 and it certainly did not disappoint. Although the restaurant had only opened a few days prior, you could tell they were ready and eager to welcome guests. The service was simply impeccable from the minute we walked through the doors. We have been fortunate to dine in some Michelin restaurants in the past such as Eleven and French Laundry and what always stands out is the service and I can confidently say Calusso is standing out from the crowd and showing they have the capability to be just as good. The food was delicious and well presented. We had a starter each, shared a pasta and had an entree each. By the time the dessert menu came out we were far too full for anything else. They did bring us some complimentary chocolates which were a wonderful surprise and a nice added touch to end the evening. Finally a top scale dining option in Fort Lauderdale which I hope to visit again. If you are looking for a restaurant for a special occasion then this is the one!

Great food and great experience but the portions were extremely small. We shared two appetizers amongst four of us, ordered three standard entrees and a “for the table” entree. We also had two deserts. Left hungry. Very small portions at large prices. I’m fine with the prices but they need to up their portion sizes.
