this is an update as I went back again last night! they kept to purchase the reservation time , The service was great , The food was great ! we shared a veal parmesan which was so tender and the lasagna ! The bread was delicious and the chocolate bomb was yummy I will definitely be back and it is clear that the previous visit it was an off night they were very very busy that night I will have to try this place again as the night that I went it was very very busy. As a result I felt that our meal was rushed and that the service was not as friendly as it could be. The food was good read more

Came back for our anniversary and was not disappointed. We originally were just going to sit by the bar but instead decided to sit by the kitchen window which was a neat change of pace. We had a couple items in mind but listened to the great recommendations of our awesome waiter Braden and the helpful manger Bruno. The octopus was amazing and cooked perfectly. The mushroom pizza is always a good choice. The lasagna verde was the surprise of the night as it wasn't traditional lasagna but some of the best I've had. Polenta and cheesecake are always a must for me when I'm at Cipresso. Can't wait to return and explore more items from the menu. read more

Beautiful restaurant, food it's ok, drinks are amazing, the bartenders are great. Good option for a dinner before the concerts.

Came to the guitar hotel for the first time and out of all the "nicer" restaurants that didn't serve bar food, we decided to eat here. The quality of the food was on point, pretty presentation and their bread basket was out of this world. Their sourdough rosemary bread was probably my favorite haha. However, the price was way too much IMO for me to want to come back. Worth it if you're in the hotel and don't want to eat bar food. read more

We had a great experience at this restaurant. Our waiter was top notch. He was on top of everything and with great suggestions. We started we some cocktails that were delicious and well made. For appetizers we had the calamari that were fresh and burrata was very good too. For main course I had the green lasagna which was pleasantly wonderful. My husband had the steak which was great in flavor and texture. My friend had the shrimp pasta, it was my least favorite. For dessert we had the cheesecake which was amazing. Very rich in flavor. It was a wonderful dinner. Would come back when I'm in the area. read more

Cipresso's at the Hard Rock was where we dined in celebration on my Son's Birthday. We were a small group of 4, being My Son, his lovely wife, my Son's mother-in-law which I love and I. The food was very good and enjoyed. But, above all and most impressive was the time a particular employee dedicated, not only to our table but he was attending and working with several tables in the room. He welcomed us. He was very a-tentative, was highly informed on every dish and how each was prepared. He explained each plated dish as he had savored them each himself, which he did say he had tasted every dish in the house. He spoke of each as if he was speaking of Art. As I heard him speak, I could not help but think how fortunate this restaurant is to have such a valuable person on staff. Extraordinarily impressive and his name was Paul... read more

Came here on Sunday with a group of 6. We made reservations for 5:30pm since we were at the HardRock for the Dave Chappelle show and wanted to have dinner prior to the event. We were promptly seated upon arrival. The staff was friendly and attentive. Service wise everything was great. The food on the other hand was average. When dinning at an Italian restaurant I always have the expectation of having amazing authentic Italian food. The food was average at best. Appetizers: Calamari, this was the best thing I had. Perfectly cooked and flavored well. Caesar salad: One of the worst I've had. It barely had an dressing and the little bit of dressing that happened to be on a few pieces of lettuce looked and tasted severely watered down. Very disappointing. Entree: Shrimp pasta. The presentation was beautiful but flavor wise it was just ok. read more

The restaurant is stylish and busy. Our server was attentive. The octopus appetizer was tender. The calamari was overcooked and our server brought us rings only which were better. The cioppino was overcooked. The shrimp and shellfish were tough, the fish was mushy and the alcohol in the sauce killed the seafood flavor. The linguine with clams was a huge disappointment. This simple dish was nothing but oil with an overpowering taste of lemon. The bread basket, wine and mascarpone cheesecake with espresso were the only foods we really enjoyed. read more

Getting last minute reservations at Hard Rock's more popular restaurants can be a bit tricky. Book reservations in advance. We were able to land this one after someone else cancelled. We arrived promptly on time and were seated after a few minutes of waiting. The service was outstanding. Our servers name is Miguel and he went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great evening. Our party and one other table closed out the restaurant and never did he make us feel rushed or like we needed to go. He was attentive and extremely polite. Five stars for the experience that he provided alone. The food was good. I enjoyed the king crab pasta. It was excellent and had a bit of a kick to it. My Husband was not as impressed by the lasagna that he ordered, but said it was still good. For our app, we enjoyed the calamari. It was delicious and easily enough for 2-3. We had a great time and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again in the future. read more

I went to Cipresso on a Thursday night at 5PM. They open the bar and serve a limited menu consisting of all their appetizers and pizzas, no main entrees until 6PM. I started with a Stella Artois draft and order a Picante pizza, which was soppressata salami, button mushrooms and pomadoro. It was six slices, easily enough for two, especially if you ordered an appetizer, which I did not. The pizza was so phenomenal, I ate it all. The menu consists of Italian fare like veal parmagiana, meatballs and homemade pastas of all different shapes, sizes and lengths. Service was fantastic, as my bartender/waitress Olga was amazing. She did several touch backs, chatted with me a little because they had just open and weren't busy and even talked me into having a second Stella Artois. I was completely satisfied and look forward to having dinner where I can enjoy one of their entrees. read more

I went here for a bachelorette dinner, most of us did not like the food. I ordered a Gnocchi, apparently everything is homemade but my plate was mediocre. I felt like it came from a frozen dinner plate from Publix. Its frustrating going to an expensive restaurant for whatever food. Everyone that ordered pasta, either didn't finish their food or they sent it back. The only good food item was the pizza. My friend has a shrimp scampi, she said it was mostly oil and tasted too fishy. She sent her food back. The drinks were strong, which is a good and bad thing. The service was good, no complaints on the service. The atmosphere is nice, it feels like a nicer restaurant. The food though I would say was a 2/10. I wouldn't come back, it's sucks to spend a lot of money for food that tasted like it came from a can with a lot of tomato sauce. read more

This is perhaps one of the best Italian restaurants that we have gone to in the south Florida area. The chef has created new entrées Paul, our server is five stars. What a fantastic human being. Maria and the girls upfront at the Host and reception area couldn't be nicer and more professional kudos to them. The food was spectacular. read more

First time here and I will definitely be back!! Johnny was our server and he was absolutely fabulous. So attentive and knew the menu back and forth. We came for my moms 70th birthday and it was so special. They provide bags for your face masks when you sit at the table. I thought that was a nice touch. Warm foccaccia bread to start, yum! We both got the blood orange martini and it was to die for!!! So good! The burrata salad with heirlooms and plums with honey balsamic was insanely good. I will definitely be add plums the next time I make it at home! Beautiful and filling charcuterie too! That mango puree is heavenly and a perfect addition to the cured meats and cheeses. Finally the bolognese. UNREAL. The pasta is made fresh every day and is SO light and airy, it allows for the bolognese to shine. Not heavy at all. Craveable! The place was very busy but we werent rushed at all. I can not wait to go back! Ask for Johnny! read more

Just to keep this review short and sweet, there are many many other Italian restaurants in South Florida that serve higher quality food with better flavors and prices. We had a 10 pm reservation, we weren't seated until close to 10:30. That we looked over, but then it took another 20 minutes just to get our waters and drinks. We didn't get our first appetizer until 11:17 and everything in general seemed delayed. We were mainly excited to try the king crab pasta, and when we notified the server that they did not bring it out yet - we were told they forgot and the kitchen was closed. Same ordeal with the rosemary bread, one of the servers took away our bread basket to bring us a fresh one and they forgot it. The meatballs are good, burrata is good, everything else was either too salty or didn't seem fresh. Not worth anyone's money to spend here in my opinion. read more

If you don't overstuff yourself with the bread basket and the crusty Italian and savory focaccia it holds.... The menu isn't overly complicated and has a good mix of some traditional Italian and forward looking additions like a kale salad and sides like spaghetti squash. As a late night dinner we partook in a selection from the wine list (which is good) and a oven fired pizza. They aren't a cheap slice but so worth the cost. I enjoyed the thin but fluffy crust and the savory seasonings of the short rib pizza. My friend dove into her lobster pizza. The fontina cheese on both were tasty additions to an untraditional pie. The dessert menu was tempting (gelato and sorbet and cannoli and cheesecake and a chocolate bomb). Service was prompt and friendly. read more

Excellent in every way! We were at the Hard Rock when we walked by this restaurant and decided to dine here. We didn't have a reservation but the hostesses were great and were able to get us a table. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was outstanding by far. He was friendly, super attentive, knowledgeable and quick. It was a busy Friday night so we were pleasantly surprised by his ability to have things going so smoothly. We ordered a couple of drinks as well as the wild mushroom pizza which was absolute perfection. I forgot to take a photo of the pizza but I took a photo of the best part of the dining experience, besides the great all around service--the cheesecake. THE BEST CHEESECAKE I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! And I've had a lot of cheesecake. Looking forward to dining here again soon! read more

Definitely would recommend to everyone and send them to Ian's way!!!! Kudos to him! Food was also great. Prosciutto di Parma was awesome, down side was that there was too big of a gap between the crust and the topping itself. Other than that, great service and great food! read more

We went to Cipresso for dinner before the concert we went to. The place has a high class feel but is perfect to dress up or for a casual dinner. It was busy but the hostess was able to get us a small table for two by the bar. The service was prompt and the server gave us recommendations for meals. I had the ribeye and it was perfect. It was tender and juicy, a perfect medium. The best thing about the steak was it was not over seasoned. The flavor of the steak really came through. Cipresso is in my opinion very expensive but after you taste the food and drinks I think you will not regret the experience or the price you pay. read more

We were Lucky to grab a reservation for a 11:30 dinner to ring in the New Year at Cipresso. Located in the middle the Hard Rock hotel you will find this spacious Italian restaurant. After a short wait we were seated twenty minutes before midnight and was surprised that the kitchen will remain open. We were brought fresh bread with one of the best whipped butter I have had in a while. The fried calamari were highly recommended and it did not disappoint large chunks of calamari lightly fried. For the main entree we ordered the lobster pizza and one of their pasta dishes called Agnolotti. Pizza was perfect for sharing and it had a generous share of fresh sweet lobster chunks blended well with the white gooey cheese. The Agnolotti are ravioli stuffed with crabs and bits of scallops, with a light sauce very good taste. The team that waited on us were an excellent group and they kept the service moving even on a crazy busy night. read more

Omg. From beginning to end. Perfection. We're from New England and we know our food. So we are picky! Food was PHENOMENAL. I got the short rib pasta. Flavor overload. I took the waitresses advice and did not mix the cheese into it because it had a lemon flavor that would have overpowered it and I'm glad I didn't. Hubby got orecchiette pasta loved it. We got the Fragola for drinks. Beautiful presentation of drinks and food. Waitress was from Cuba. Adorable. Best accent so charming. I'd come back in a heartbeat. read more

Cipresso was a little more than average price however I did enjoy the food. With that being said they do not have many vegan options which is disappointing. We did have plenty of vegetarian options and but very few vegan items ex l a plain pasta. We expect more for a whole restaurant based on Italian food. In any case the food that was served was delicious. Also the servers and employees are very nice just fantastic. It was a good experience and good evening I just wish they had a little more to offer. read more

Saturday night and we had reservations for Kuro. Unfortunately they know how to take a reservation but not hold it (). They told us that we would have to wait another 45 minutes for a booth. So wrong in so many ways it is ridicoulos. So, our only option was cipresso. Service was very good but the food was lacking in so many ways and very expensive. I will probably give them another visit anyway since the decor is so cozy and inviting. read more

I'm very picky with Italian food and to me this has to be one of the best restaurants I've tried in a long time! We had antipasti misti, meatballs, side pasta and chicken Marsala. We left so stuffed! The quality of each dish was impeccable. Sauce was fresh and tasty. Meatballs were...melt in your mouth. Already our next visit! read more

Made a reservation WAY in advance since we were seeing a show. Four of us for dinner. Arrived early and waited for 10-15 for our table. The place was packed and a bit loud. We started with wine and a charcuterie board. That was delicious! We also started with the meatballs. They were average. I felt the sauce was a bit too sweet. My husband requested chicken parm since it's not on the menu and they gladly made it. He said it was average. I got bolognese over pasta and it was good. Again, average. Nothing special. My girlfriend got a special with fish and said it was very good. Her husband got the same thing and agreed. Waiter was good. It was very busy and he did a good job managing his tables. I don't think I'd run back here with all the great places in the Hard Rock. read more

We loved this place. We had a family dinner here and it did not disappoint. We were hungry....sorry for the lack of pictures. We ordered two meatball and one cheese pizza. They were great. You can tell it's handmade, the sauce isn't too potent and the pizza is super tasty. We also ordered the pasta bolognese, Chicken Marsala, and the lasagne. Everything was delicious!! I took bites from the other two plates and everything was great. The service was good. Server was prompt and very nice. They don't have any dishes with white sauce which is a bummer but at least the options they do have are tasty. Def would come back. read more

Great time last night at this busy Italian restaurant at the Guitar Hotel! Reservation required so make sure to book it in advance. Leo and Juan took good care of us! Juan even provided some entertainment of his own. That alone was worth the drive up ;) The food was good too - the meat ball pizza and the lasaña verde were my favorite! The calamari was lightly fried - not oily - very good too. The Paso Doble Cabernet Sauvignon was an excellent recommendation! And to end the night we had the mascarpone cheesecake which was very smooth and fluffy. Great night! Will be back soon! read more

This is just one of those spots that you're gonna pay to eat. The Italian food is pretty good, the service is top-level and the deserts were amazing. To me, the pasta was pretty good, it wasn't anything to go crazy over. If you prefer to pay for service, then this place can compete with all-service Italian venues. All in all I probably wouldn't come again only because I don't need over the top service, I can pour my own AcquaPanna water from Tuscany Italy my guy! read more

During our first visit to the NEW Hard Rock Resort and Casino we saw Cipresso's and vowed to make this out next dining experience here. What drew us to this new Italian Restaurant here was the casual ambiance and the inviting entrance which to the right has a large U shaped bar and to the left one of the most beautiful and largest wine cellars I've seen recently around Broward. Top that off with a huge open kitchen which includes a large copper looking wood fried pizza oven. We checked in and the hostess told us we would have a 20 minute wait for 3, took my cell number to text me e when my table was ready. That was nice because we could walk around and see all the new additions to the resort. I had a chance to meet the General Manager, Kale, inside the wine cellar and he took the time too show me the tremendous varieties of wines they carry. They take their wine selections very seriously and they have some great too shelf US and European wines as well as some rEasonable prices Tuscan wines (big Antinori selection. Almost 20 minutes to the minute we were seated. Kale kind of took us under his wing to go over the menu and the concept with us and our server was there immediately. We ordered a nice bottle of one of the Antinori wines for $57.00 that went great with pastas we were going to order. The menu is simple; great variety of Salads, pizzas baked in their wood fired oven and fish entrees including a delicious Branzino which my wife ordered. The Antipasto menu is also great and simple with cheeses, meets, calamari, beef carpaccio and what WE ordered: Nonna's meatballs. Big portion of 3 meatballs with a tangy tomato sauce and ricotta cheese. Filling even for 3 people when you add in the Focaccia Fresh Bread they serve. So it was definitely pasta night here for me. I ordered their delicious Carbonara and substituted Tagliatelle pasta for linguini. Creamy large portion with small chunks of Guanciali (pig cheek meat). If I had one night a month to have a white cream pasta this is it. My niece ordered their large Bolognese also with Tagliatelle pasta. Plenty of meat with large shavings of Parmesan Reggiani cheese. I tried my wife's Branzino and it was moist and delicious. It was a cut into a nice filet portion with a salad on top over a nice caper tomato sauce and had Caramelized Fennel on top as well. She was not crazy about the fennel but the fish was great. The prices for a resort like this were extremely reasonable, service was friendly, personable and timing perfect. It is so nice to have a great Italian option at Hard Rock. The bar is huge and definitely inviting to drink there and even dine right at the bar. Next time: Wood Fired Pizza!! read more

The service is the worst in the country. Motel 6 has better customer service than this dump. Why doesn't anyone answer the phone there.

We'd just seen a show at Hard Rock Live and wanted to have dinner before heading out. To our surprise, Cipresso was still open but didn't have a reservation until 10:45 p.m. No bother, we just went and played the slots for 20 minutes until our table was ready. We were served by a sweet and outgoing server, though she had 3 or 4 tables so attentiveness and speed weren't as great as we'd have liked - especially toward the end of our meal when the restaurant had nearly emptied out and we were somewhat anxious to finish our meals, pay and go. To start, we had the calamari to share and for entrees I had the branzino, my husband had the beef tenderloin and we shared a bottle of wine. Everything we had was very good, as was the complimentary bread and whipped butter. This restaurant is a bit pricey as other reviewers have correctly stated, but that's the case with most all the better dining options at here at the Hard Rock. One oddity was that, we split the bill and paid via credit card, and the server demanded a drivers license from each person paying with a credit card. Of all the restaurants in all the cities we've dined, that was definitely a first for us! read more
