My wife and I stopped for lunch here. This place is fantastic. If you come before 3:00pm and buy a drink you can get selected entrees for $10.
We started with the fried Ravioli, what a start. Great flavor and their gravy is to die for.
I had the chicken parm and my wife had the meatball sliders. Both dishes were great. Our server, Natalie was so help , fun and just a pleasure . She had good suggestions and was always there when you needed her.
This restaurant will be one of our regular places to eat. We can’t wait to go again.

My friends and I were craving pasta, so we decided to stop in and we had such a great time here! The food was absolutely delicious everything we ordered was so good and full of flavor. But honestly, the service was even better. They were super attentive the whole time, always making sure our waters were filled and checking in to see if we needed anything or if everything tasted good. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. One of the lovely staff members even brought us complimentary ice cream, which was such a sweet surprise and totally made our night. We’ll definitely be back!

Cucina Moderna in Fort Lauderdale absolutely exceeded our expectations! The Chicken Parm was one of the best I’ve had perfectly breaded, flavorful, and cooked just right! We substitute the sauce for vodka sauce recommeneded by the manager and it was a hit! The Alfredo pasta was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and the pizza had that perfect balance of crispy crust and fresh toppings.
On top of the great food, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive from start to finish, and Manager Luis deserves special recognition he made us feel genuinely welcomed and took the time to check in and make sure everything was perfect.
Overall, an incredible dining experience. Highly recommend!

I don’t know where to begin, we had an amazing time. From walking into the establish being greeted by Daniel, to our waitress Stephanie, and one of the bartenders Rachel. They work cohesively together and the food as well as libations were great. Mondays are happy hour all day including bar bites, since we had the kiddos we didn’t hog the bar, but sat close by and still were able to indulge in the happy hour drink specials. We had the old fashions we asked for Woodford Reserve it was a slight up-charge and u also tried a lychee martini also with an up-charge both drinks were well crafted. The food had great portions, the kids menu meals were $10 and the portions were adult size. We also had a gelato, there’s an early dinner menu from 3p-6p. 10/10 all the way around this location has been open for about four months we’ll definitely be back, ensure you bring your parking ticket if you’re in the garage to have it validated.

The food here is absolutely delicious — perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection every time. Portions are generous, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable considering the quality and quantity you get.
The restaurant is also wheelchair accessible, making it welcoming, convenient, and comfortable for everyone. The atmosphere is fun and full of great vibes. Daytime attire is casual, while evenings call for dressing with a bit more respect and style.
Take-away is available, and it’s a great spot to meet friends for drinks and laughs… but you’ll stay for the food.
Highly recommend!

We sat outside by the sidewalk by US 1. Very nice out there but a little noisy. We only had apps but man! Were they good. The Calamari was delicious and the fried raviolis were too. The bruschetta was really tasty. The passion fruit margarita was good.

I have dined at NUMEROUS exquisite 5-star restaurants over the years before visiting the Newly Opened Cuchina Moderna in Fort Lauderdale, yet I found myself exclaiming out loud , “Oh my goodness, this is all so delicious! Oh my goodness, this food!” and then ordering seconds and thirds.
We indulged in the Mussels three times, the Shrimp Bruschetta, the Penne Alla Vodka twice (sorry to burst any bubbles this pasta was better then il Mulino pasta) , the healthy nut salad (which was the best salad I’ve ever had), soup, fried ravioli, truffle fries, Paso Robles wine, and lava cake with gelato.
We honestly would have eaten more but had actually eaten a late lunch forgetting at first of our dinner plan. Regardless, our four year old and two year old children devoured all of these dishes along with us and absolutely loved them.
We actually ordered extra pasta to take home for the next day it was that good.
Not to mention the immaculate vibes, gorgeous dining room, beautifully done bar and wonderful staff.
This place deserves a spot on my weekly rotation for sure! There is also great outdoor seating which is where we dined as the inside was packed when we arrived. I’ve already planned my next visit for lunch. I’ll get a filet salad at the bar maybe share a pasta and watch a game with my husband over some drinks. Perhaps I’ll try out the brunch another day with some girlfriends.
The only thing I wish went differently is that I took the time out from eating to take some better photos!
Overall 10/10

Had a great experience here. Service was great and restaurant is in a wonderful location. Fried Ravioli was a great appetizer and the filet mignon was super tender! Currently pregnant, so I had an espresso martini mocktail that was delish! Very excited about this new place in Fort Lauderdale.

I had lunch at Cucina Moderna Restaurant at 721 N. Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale, with seven of my wonderful pickleball friends. The food was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The manager was attentive and professional, and our server, Robert provided excellent service throughout our meal.
Everyone loved their dishes, there wasn’t a single plate left unfinished! The desserts were mouthwatering, and the freshly baked bread was soft, flavorful, and welcoming. We were all so impressed by how perfectly prepared and tasty every bite was.
I can’t wait to return for a lovely dinner inside. Cucina Moderna truly deserves a full 5-star rating!
