The gluten free menu here is elite! Such good food, great ambiance, terrific servers and bussers. 10/10!!!

Diavola and Margherita pizzas on gluten free crusts
Gabby T.

I read the outstanding reviews for Gioia Italy, saw the extensive gluten-free menu, and was very happy to see the dedicated gluten-free kitchen space within the restaurant to ensure the food isn't cross-contaminated, so we decided to take a car ride to Hallandale Beach during our trip to Fort Lauderdale to give them a try! The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the patio was really beautiful to sit outside for a relaxing lunch. The pizza was good, but the crust was not exactly what I hoped for - it was crispy on the bottom and chewy instead of a soft dough like you'd expect in a Neapolitan pizza. The margherita also had a bit too much cheese and not quite enough sauce (some was absorbed by the crust) for my preference. Is this restaurant an amazing option for those with celiac or gluten allergies? Yes! Is this the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had? No.

ITALIANO ESPRESSO
Daren R.

Traditional Italian restaurant specializing in hand tossed pizza with a great Hallandale location. Full liquor bar and of course an espresso machine ready to grind up some Italiano coffee for me. The barista was not overly exciting but professional. Took my $3.50 "shot" next door to Crema to compliment my sandwich. It was a tiny offering at the bottom of the cup but very tasty and strong. Will return to eat a pizza.

Back once more for a little bit of a snack and dessert. Just love this place. The waiter Ivan is always on point. The owner is always friendly and acknowledges when people come in and leave. No place should be like this.

Clam pasta good flavors
Erika M.

Another Gem we found up in Hallandale beach. Food was amazing texture of the pizzas and flavors were blend into perfection. The clam pasta was good but not as special as the pizzas. And the molten lava cake was so good I forgot to take a picture service was really good and the ambiance with music and live entertainment was simply perfect

The chicken Parmesan could feed two people easily tender, juicy imported products. You can really tell the difference.

Oh my God! What a find! I was driving around Miami searching for a truly authentic Italian restaurant that also offers gluten-free options--and we hit the jackpot. This place is absolutely incredible! Honestly, it was one of the best meals I've had, whether you're gluten-free or not. The flavors were spot-on, the textures were perfect, and everything from the appetizers to dessert was made with love and precision. If you have any kind of gluten sensitivity and you're in Miami, you HAVE to try this spot. The vibe? Totally on point. The service? Top-notch. The ambience? Like being transported to an upscale restaurant in Italy. And the owner? A class act he personally visits every table, making sure every guest feels welcomed and appreciated. You can tell the whole team reflects his passion and warmth. 10/10 -- This place is a gem

Spoiled Burrata.
Princess P.

Terrible restaurant. On my first visit, despite my dissatisfaction they charge me the full price and said I should give the place a 2nd try and they'll "take care of me" Last night I was craving pizza. Me and my partner are "Piola" pizza fans and wanted to try something else. I ordered 2 personal pizza and one glass of white wine. Paid $7 extra for Burrata which was SPOILED tasted sour and fermented and we tossed it. The pizza was super average. Every time we picked a slice; the entire toppings slide right off. Then the bill came. It's was $87 dollars. I couldn't believe my eyes. We order the same size pizza twice a week for $40 for both. Left 18% to the server who was very sweet and kind, and paid over $100 in total for just wanting some pizza. What a rip off how do they have the guts to charge that.

GNOCCHI 4 FORMAGGI

First time here Casual place claims it's fine dining Italian ! Came for a late lunch early dinner ordered the margarita pizza and the cheese gnocchi's . Pizza dough was excellant and the sauce and cheese were good . The gnocchi's were a home run :) Portion is not that large guess that's because we're gormet :)) But it was very good .

Simple, Reliable, and Always a Good Idea…read more I've been here more times than I can count, and honestly, that's probably the best review I can give. It's one of those places that just doesn't fail. The food comes out quickly, the ingredients taste fresh, and it's always a solid option when you don't want to overthink where to eat. One of the best things they do is the all you can eat gnocchi on the 29th of every month. There are plenty of sauces to choose from, and you can literally keep eating until you can't anymore. For the price, it's hard to beat. The pizzas, salads, and pasta dishes are all consistently good. Nothing overly complicated, just fresh ingredients and flavors that work. We recently tried the profiteroles and loved them. The ice cream in the middle takes them to another level. The tiramisu is also really good and seems to get better every time we come back. Service is always fast, which is part of the reason this has become one of our regular spots. The space is fairly large, but it fills up quickly, especially on weekends. I'd recommend it more for couples or smaller groups rather than large parties. They also have TVs and projector screens, which is a nice bonus if there's a big game on. I'll keep coming back because it does exactly what I want it to do. Good food, fair prices, quick service, and a consistently reliable experience.

Most expensive and (of course) highly recommended. Worst pizza ever! Soft , non crust , soggy ,full of watery cheese , lackluster taste and did not maintain a balanced sturdy shape when a triangle was picked up. Instead, it spilled forward and turned into a mesh of goo... YES - THAT BAD! Complaining to the server she shrugged and walked away. Did not even give me a chance to substitute. I am already looking for a better pizza in town!

The order was paid for online. When we picked up the food, both salads arrived without the chicken that was supposed to be included. The pizza was also incorrect and came fully covered with vegetables instead of half peppers and half cheese. My daughter called the restaurant because she specifically wanted the salad with chicken. She even offered to come back to pick up the chicken that was missing. However, the manager told her there was nothing they could do. He mentioned that he would comp the meal, which was not what we were asking for--we simply wanted the order corrected. Unfortunately, that was never done either. The only item in the order that was correct was the penne bolognese. Overall, it was disappointing to have multiple items wrong in the order and then not have the issue properly resolved. .

Their dinner prices run very high, so I'm understanding why their waitress told me that it's been very slow here lately.

He passed away one month ago, at 93 years old, and because it was one of his favorite restaurants, we choose to have his Celebration of Life here this past weekend. Juan and Sonya were delightful to work with in the planning of the day. They were flexible and thoughtful and answered all my questions and honored my requests. Our group of 25 people had the whole back room reserved for us. We were able to honor my Dad with music, sharings, and a photo video that we played on their TV. The food was yummy, the service on point, and the kindness and consideration of Juan and his staff was exemplary! I highly recommend El Tamarindo for your small or larger group.

We ordered the garlic rolls, a mixed salad, and a large pizza with mushrooms and onions. The garlic rolls were unlike anything I've ever had--packed with flavor and the perfect amount of garlic. The salad was incredibly fresh, and the dressing (served ice cold on the side) was amazing--almost like a blend of Italian and honey mustard. The pizza was outstanding--thin, perfectly chewy crust, delicious sauce, and fresh toppings. Every bite was spot on. The coconut flan topped off the meal! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Juan, the owner, even stopped by our table multiple times to check on us, which really elevated the experience. Hands down, the best pizza I've ever had. If you're in Hollywood, this place is a must-visit!
