    Food average at best, and overpriced even for FLL.

    Very noisy! Thankfully, we were able to get a table outside; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hear each other at all. Reception desk service was excellent. Bar service was cordial but slow (understandably, since it was Saturday evening and the place was packed). Table service was inattentive and kitchen service was sub-par. Salad came out with onions (I'd clearly specified NO onions), but replacement salad was supplied fairly soon. The polpette (appetizer meatballs) were absolutely delicious, the highlight of the entire meal. Husband liked his tagliatelle alla bolognese. I was keen for the branzino special, even though it was served "whole fish" (head, tail and skin still on but bones supposedly removed), but it was very disappointing. The fish was stuffed with citrus slices so it tasted delicious, and it was properly cooked, but there were still lots of bones. The "seasonal vegetables" that the fish was served with were just sauteed red peppers (yuck), onions (arrgh!) and zucchini chunks. It also took an unusually long time for the main dishes to come out, even though the dinner crowd had significantly diminished by then. We noticed several people at both the indoor bar and the one outside had ordered pizzas that smelled great and looked good, and we ended up wishing we'd just ordered a pizza instead.

    From walking up to the restaurant to leaving, it was an excellent experience. The service, the drinks, the food and the restaurant itself was perfect. The food was just as wonderful as the NYC original location. I can recommend the speciality margarita, the Caesar Salad, the Clams Oreganata, the Chicken Parmigiana, the Spaghetti Pomodoro and the Tiramisu.. it is family style. Our server who was wonderful by the way indicated the pasta was individual size, but I definitely think it is good for 2 people. There were three of us who shared everything above. There was more than enough food lol.. The bread was served sparingly, but was just so good... Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in South Florida.

    Outstanding meal. We sat in the chefs area and watched the kitchen work. A little louder than other areas, but we liked it. Had the Arugula salad, lobster ravioli and carbonara. All were outstanding.

    The food was absolutely exquisite. Perfectly prepared. I could not have been happier. The service was also attentive. However, the noise level precluded having table conversation. According to my app, the noise reached 98 dB. with a warning that sustained noise at that level can cause permanent hearing loss.

    The food was amazing, as was the service. We very much enjoyed the evening. It was considerably too cold in the restaurant, but thankfully I had a sweater, which I wore the entire time. Other patrons searched out jackets and sweaters, too. The music was too loud as well— it was sometimes difficult to have a conversation . Regardless, can’t wait to return!

    Excessively noisy, with the tables placed extremely close to one another. Had to nearly yell to converse with my date. Service was acceptable. Serving 2 bread rolls as a starter was quite embarrassing and plain tacky. The main food was good.
