I will start with this; I will be back her very soon, and very frequently.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with romantic lighting and comfortable spacing. Rafael went above and beyond to make our dining experience all that we could have wanted, and even more.
The food was nothing like I have had before. A refreshing take providing a unique experience. The lobster ravioli is certainly the star of the menu, but I am excited to experience the rest.

This is a gem of a place you must visit. The food is amazing, the hospitality is bountiful (thank you Rafael!), and the ambiance is so warm and cozy. Prix Fixe menu is great (shout out to the lobster ravioli) and based upon trying a few of the menu items we will definitely be back to enjoy the others!

28 reviews and all 5 stars so we had to check it out and WOW. So not disappointed! Great food and great service! Tiny, charming place! They were still waiting on their alcohol license, so recommend bringing in your own bottle of wine right now or they offer you a free glass! Love this place, and we will be back!

This restaurant is awesome. Melanie, our server, was very friendly and attentive. We had calamari which was done just right, fresh and crispy. Also had the lobster ravioli, which was delicious. Highly recommend this place.

A truly enjoyable evening. Staff is engaged, well trained and warm. The food is very well prepared and of superior quality. The sword fish was exceptional and fresh. Even the mashed potatoes were buttery with perfect texture. I wish the owner and staff success in this new venture. As a restaurateur of 36 years, they have earned my respect and support.

I took my family to this restaurant last night the amazing appetizers, salads and entrees were above and beyond what I expected. The temperature, high quality, strong Italian authentic fare was superb. The staff were incredibly attentive, caring and had incredible attitudes and personalities .
My father who is one of the toughest food critics is already talking about returning next week.
YOU WILL APPRECIATE: the attention, ambience and feel of eating in a family Italian kitchen. In my opinion this is the best Italian restaurant in the fort lauderdale and pompano beach area.

I LOVED this place! Definitely recommend. The staff were very accommodating and would make any substitutions or item that I wanted to create! If you go one of the servers, Rafael is fantastic! He is so friendly and has lots of experience in the service industry. This place is vegetarian friendly and overall a 10/10 experience. You must come here if you are in Pompano.

Wonderful surprise. Drove by the small store front several times and it doesn’t impress, but found it in a Google search and decided to try. Phenomenal Italian food and service. A relatively small menu, but it’s excellent. I was really surprised at how affordable it was (I felt like I was robbing them). We will be back on our next trip to Pompano Beach or Ft. Lauderdale for sure!
