⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
IT! An Italy Ristorante Café Bar in downtown Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale offers an absolutely elegant dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is stylish, warm, and sophisticated—perfect for a special night out or a refined evening downtown. From the attentive service to the beautifully designed space, everything feels thoughtfully curated and upscale without being pretentious.

The standout dish of the night was the truffle short rib ravioli—simply unforgettable. Each bite was rich, perfectly balanced, and incredibly flavorful, with tender short rib and luxurious truffle notes that melted in your mouth. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal is over.

If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine, a refined ambiance, and a memorable dining experience on Las Olas, IT! An Italy is an absolute must. I can’t wait to return. ✨

We had a great experience at IT! Italy on Las Olas. The place is beautiful. Great vibes and ambience. From the moment we sat down, the service truly stood out Felipe at the bar was absolutely out of this world. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the experience special.

The appetizers were the highlight of the night. The tuna tartare was hands down our favorite fresh, perfectly balanced, and honestly out of this world. The burrata was light, fresh, and beautifully done. The crab cake was okay, not our favorite, but still decent.

Where things fell a bit short for us were the entrées. Both dishes lacked seasoning and depth of flavor. I was especially surprised by this since creamy pastas like carbonara usually pack more richness and flavor. My boyfriend ordered the truffle parmesan gnocchi, and unfortunately, it also came across as bland with very little truffle or parmesan flavor shining through.

Dessert was another miss for me, the caramel flan didn’t hit the mark. It lacked flavor and almost tasted sugar-free, which was disappointing.

That said, I would still recommend IT! Italy, mainly for the service, ambiance, and appetizers. I’d absolutely return and try different items from the menu next time, because the potential is definitely there.

Stopped by for some drinks and hookah. Inside is such a vibe, from the bar, to the decor, to the bathrooms.
Alex took care of us at the bar. He was knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Drinks and hookah 10/10. The hookah was smooth, it didn’t burn fast and finally the flavors tasted like what was promoted!

This place is not IT. Not even close.

Louis Bossi had an insanely long wait, so we figured we’d try this place instead since it had a pretty high star rating on Google. Y’all… those 5-star reviews were definitely purchased in bulk.

The ambiance? Cute.
The drinks? Solid.
The food, the entire point of going to a restaurant, absolutely atrocious.

The calamari appetizer was rubbery with stale breading. Not crispy. Not crunchy. Not light. Just old. It genuinely tasted like reheated leftovers from someone else’s table. I was waiting for the microwave ding.

Now let’s talk about the flatbread. Calling it flatbread is generous. It was basically a pizza Lunchable tossed into a microwave and sent out with confidence. The crust was soggy and chewy (aka frozen), the cheese was barely melted, and there was zero effort to even brown it. ZERO. Not worth $5. Criminal at $25.

And apparently this restaurant has a full-blown floral obsession.

They put a literal flower in my short rib pasta. Why? Is this a garden? A wedding centerpiece? A botanical exhibit? Because last I checked, flowers are not seasoning.

As if that wasn’t enough, they also have an automated floral air freshener spraying directly OVER THE TABLES. Yes, over the food. Nothing says fine dining like a mist of artificial Febreze as a garnish. My eyes were watering, my nose was running, and I felt like I was eating inside a Bath & Body Works.

Even our waitress admitted people complain about it all the time and offered to move us. At that point I had emotionally checked out and was just waiting for the rest of my party to finish eating.

You work hard for your money. Please don’t spend it here. You will leave hungry, disappointed, and wondering how this place has the audacity to charge restaurant prices for cafeteria quality food.

Consider this my community service.

(Apologies for the blurry pictures. It was dark, and I was likely mid-sneeze.)

Visited for lunch. Nice modern interior, calm atmosphere — perfect for a midday break.
Ordered pasta, Caesar salad, tuna tartare (really good!) and gnocchi with truffle oil — they forgot the oil the first time but fixed it quickly.

Overall, everything was fine, just not a “wow” experience. A decent Italian spot on Las Olas for a relaxed lunch.

Leo was an amazing server. His service was great from start to finish. He was attentive, and made sure everything came out perfectly. He had such a positive attitude the whole time. You can tell he really cares about providing a great experience. I would definitely come back and ask for Leo again.

We had been planning to stop by here for some time. Always thought it looked super cute and read loads great reviews. The ambience stopped there. The space is tiny and the decor is mostly mirrors to make it feel larger than it is. The music was loud and what I assume to be an odd European party mix with weird beats. We went for dinner and looked around a bit for our server. When she arrived she was nice enough but not super friendly or accommodating with suggestions, just an order taker. Surprised to find out they offered hookah here but wasn’t interested. We ordered a glass of Riesling and a draft beer. The beer was flat and was returned for another glass of wine, no problem. We got calamari to start which was heavily battered and super greasy, we couldn’t finish. I ordered the lobster pasta special. It came out with the tail and head adorning a huge dramatic plate. It felt like the noodles were from a package and the lobster was some of the toughest I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant. The sauce was really fishy and didn’t have the best flavor or freshness. My boyfriend ordered the branzino, my favorite fish. It was severely overcooked and unflavored. The whole time the topic of conversation was how mediocre everything was and we felt bamboozled by the reviews. Our server came to check on us near the end of our meal to which we just agreed everything was fine to get through the evening. When we received the bill we were aghast. The bill was $200+ with an auto-gratuity of 18% for 2 PEOPLE! I’ve been in hospitality for most of my life and have never seen an auto-grat for two people. We eat around Los olas often and our typical meal for 2 is around $150 not including tip. Price is never an issue if the quality is there. I must say that I’d rather have gone to quite a few places nearby for the price that we paid. Now it’s our favorite inside joke whenever we feel cheated that it’s an IT Italy situation.
