What a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, you could feel the warmth of this small, family-owned restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the hospitality makes you feel like you’re dining in someone’s home in Italy.
Every dish was absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce tasted like it had been simmering all day, and the ingredients were simple but top quality. You can tell these are authentic recipes passed down through generations.
The service was attentive and genuinely kind, without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a place that combines amazing food, heartfelt service, and such a charming atmosphere.
If you’re looking for true, authentic Italian cuisine made by people who care deeply about what they do, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back when we vacation in Fort Lauderdale in the future!!
We discovered it in the most unexpected way while traveling in Rome. My daughter got sick and we ended up having to visit an ER. A kind security officer went out of his way to help us, and during conversation he told me about his friend’s restaurant back home in Fort Lauderdale: Ciao Ammore Trattoria. He showed me photos, talked about the food like it was a secret treasure, and spoke so highly of the people who own it that I promised myself we’d go as soon as we got home.
We did the very next weekend and it was even better than described. The food was incredible: fresh, authentic, full of flavor, and clearly made with pride. But what truly sets this place apart is the warmth. The owners are genuinely kind, welcoming, and treat you like family the moment you walk in.
We have been back several times but last night we went back to celebrate my mother-in-laws birthday, and this is where they earned lifelong customers. When we arrived, the owner realized our reservation was actually booked for the following day. Instead of shrugging or turning us away, she smiled and said, “Give me five minutes.” She moved tables, reorganized the floor, and somehow made it work even though they had a larger group coming in. That level of care, effort, and hospitality is almost impossible to find anymore.
Ciao Ammore Trattoria is a true family restaurant: amazing Italian food, amazing people, and a place that makes you feel taken care of. If you’re looking for outstanding Italian food, this is it. If you’re looking for outstanding food and the kind of people who make your night special, this is definitely the place.
Highly recommend — we’ll be back again and again.
The server who may be the owner was not welcoming at all. She took our order by asking what we wanted and not engaging in any conversation with us.
I came here due to the great reviews. A reservation is required during season to get a table.
We started with the caprese and added prosciutto. It was fresh and tasty.
The pappardelle pasta with mushrooms had no flavor. The menu described it as having a white sauce. The sauce was more oily like and not flavorful. The pasta was dry.
The lasagna and eggplant were great.
No one checked on our satisfaction of our meal. The complimentary bread is delicious.
Overall, the service fell short and doesn’t make me want to return. It is metered parking in the attached lot.
