Ducked in a few times to try some different food and evaluate the spot for my Hollywood Beach Food Tours and it was a fine time, here's why: * Excellent decor--it is clear they put a of of money and thought into the design aesthetic of the place and it looks nice. * Excellent service from Matteo, aka Il Capitano. Well done, see you next visit. * I love the food. I enjoyed a breakfast sammy one visit, and Tiramisu the next, both were fabulous and fairly priced. Good stuff, see you there. Cabeza OUT! read more

I was skeptical of this spot when it opened because anyone who lives in Hollywood Beach knows not too many spots survive. Plus...there are so many pizza options on or near the beach!! But this place has become one of our new fave spots to grab pizza. First of all...I'll be honest, I don't love eating there because it can be noisy from the bar next door. But the decor and the pizza is AMAZING. The burrata is fresh and perfectly paired with the thin crust. The veggie pizza is to die for. The margarita is as good as any I've had. Lately, we have just been grabbing a few pizzas to take home or eat right on the sand. Hopefully this place lasts. Bc we need it! read more

The cutest decor with great service & lively music. We were walking to another restaurant & stumbled across this place. It was late & a light dinner was the goal so we ended up going here. I had a beer and two slices of Diavola pizza. You order at counter & the food is delivered to your table once it's done. They also have plenty dessert options, pasta, and espresso that smelled amazing! I'll be trying all 3 my next visit. read more

Love this place I feel like I am in Italy ( especially Rome ) every single time . We went for the first time right after it opened. Loved the ambiance, decor, food selection and especially the desserts. Scared to try it at first since it was empty when we walked by a couple of times , but realizing it's brand new we figured let's try it . Since then it's our go to stop for coffee and dessert especially. Every time we have guests visiting, we go there to make them feel like they're not only in Florida, but in Rome. By the way, Matteo's personality makes the place!!!! He's smile and his Roman accent will keep this place to prosper for a long time .. ciao read more

It Italian Trattoria - Delicious... cappuccino.. dessert ... - Desserts Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

We saw some good reviews on Yelp and we walked by and looked at the menu and decided to give it a try. We were blown away. The homemade pasta is perfection. The rigatoni tartufo and spaghetti carbonara were spectacular. The caprese salad with chicken was also really good. The service was outstanding as our waiter was from Italy and we had some great conversations. The deserts of chocolate cake (Italian not American) was delicious, but the cannolo arancia was to die for. We even got to try the pizza positano (it was awesome)!! read more

We were staying at the hotel next door, and stumbled into this restaurant which wasn't crowded which always worries me. Let me say this, Everything is fresh fresh fresh and they make everything in house. And its clear, the noodles are spot on! The sauce was great. The pizza was great, dough perfect. And good chianti too. When they got my daughters dish wrong, they were soo accommodating to us, making her another dish and really just being so kind goes a long way. I cant say enough for this gem of an Italian restaurant. I wish you all the success in the world, and if you're still there when we come back next year, we will be back 100%. read more

I really enjoyed my pasta, did not need a reservation to be seated. Was pretty confused with there being no host. I had the alfredo pasta with shrimp, pretty solid. Was still a little hungry afterwards. read more

It Italian Trattoria - Alfredo Pasta with Shrimp - Desserts Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Understaffed creating an uncomfortable environment. It's not the individual staffs fault but they were understaffed. Carbonara was the worst carbonara, it was not made with an egg or cream sauce, it's like they forgot the sauce and added pasta water. And the table next us had a completely different looking carbonara, looked creamy. Dinner Menu was surcharged, up $5 from regular menu. We had to ask to find our reservation. Wait service was 15+ min after seated (only because we grabbed their attention). Pizza was good. Staff never checked on us but it was because they were too busy. Check took an hour after asking for it three times. This was our first time visiting the restaurant and we were really looking forward to it. As a local, we were excited for the possibility of good Italian food in a great location next to the bandshell. Unfortunately, we felt like a burden to the understaffed team, got terrible pasta and the check took so long we missed the band. Not a good experience and sad that we won't return. We hope the restaurant management hears us and adjusts accordingly. We wish you success but this isn't the formula yet. read more

The place is large and cutely decorated. They were extemely understaffed when we went. The server had multiple tables inside and outside. Appetizer came out with dinner, almost an hour after initially sitting down. Told kitchen was short, but then entrees shouldn't have been fired as app was a burrata salad. Food was ok. Bread was good but came plain. No olive oil, butter, nothing. Outside tables don't have s&p on them either. Prices were high due to location. Bathroom was extremely weird. Music blasting, dark, and weird light that didn't allow you to see yourself. May try them again just bc lack of good dining choices on Broadwalk, hope they improve. read more

Service and food were amazing! We were a group of five. Our server was very attentive and every dish we ordered was excellent - might be the best pizza I've ever had. read more

Modern Italian restaurant complete with menu and service direct from Italy with the lax service you find in Rome. The Cacio e pepe was ziti rather than a capellini noodle and yes there was oil at the bottom of the bowl. read more

We have watched this restaurant from day one of construction. We were so happy when they finally opened the doors!! Excellent food and love the ambiance of the Italian culture. Most of all we love the staff that have been here since day one. Matteo and Manuel are great! Love their Italian accents makes me feel right at home! read more

We had high hopes however I can't say anything positive. 45 minute wait, while servers and cooks were joking around wasting time. Finally seated, order pitcher of margaritas which didn't fill 4 small glasses. And after emptying it, saw it was probably 80% ice. Everyone's meal was served quite a bit apart. First came out at 7:50, then mine at 8:03, our third got theirs at 8:10 and ours fourths meal came out at 8:17. Then no one came by to check on us, so at 8:48 we went in and had to ask for the bill and water refills. Food was also quite bad, our 4ths lasagna was still cold in the middle. read more

It Italian Trattoria - Pistachio strawberry tiramisu - Desserts Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

This restaurant has the potential of being a great place. It took forever to get waited on. The manager was on his phone texting the entire time we were here. The food was so over salted that it ruined the flavor. I had to get my own water. Bread was never offered and it was so loud you could not talk to your table mate. Keep in mind we were the only people in the restaurant with a party of 8 next to us. Why they sat us next to a large party is beyond me. This place is not going to make it at this rate!!! read more

We were baited in by the charming appearance but disappointed with food Nf service. 8 pm on Saturday night should with few patrons, should have tipped us off but being tired and within walking distance, we decided to give it a shot. To start, our waitress was completely unaware of us for the first 15 minutes despite the few people. The food was disappointing. My daughter has never not finished a bowl of simple pasta with marinara, until now. I ordered a Tuna salad that seemed to have been dumped straight from the can into the bowl. Overall apathy by the staff. I hate giving bad reviews but. The strawberry and pistachio tiramisu was the only worthwhile item. read more

If you're staying in the area, you have to have a meal here. AMAZING atmosphere, great and friendly service, delicious authentic food, and reasonable prices. I cannot overstate how beautiful this place is. Thank you! read more

Excellent nutella croissant, great vibes and cute atmosphere. you can watch them make your food!

Not the best Italian restaurant in hollywood thats for sure, depending what you get its pretty good

Eating this amazing pizza brought tears to my eyes! It took me back to my favorite place Roma.The truffle mushroom pizza was exceptional! The crust is light as a feather. The margherita pizza was phenomenal! Cannoli and bombolini were spot on . Run don't walk to It! Will be my new favorite spot in my neighborhood !! read more

I see that this is the first review for this location. Not sure if its brand new or what. We were visiting from out of state and after having several meals on the hollywood boardwalk prior we werent sure if we would find any restaurants with good food. Well- we found it here. The food wad outstanding and prices were super cheap. We had two pizzas which were excellent and lasagna and tartufo pasta. The lasagna may have been the best Ive ever had. Its only a matter of time until every seat in this restaurant is filled on a nightly basis. Thats how great the food was. We also got tiramisu and chocolate ganache cake to go which we have not tried yet but based on looks they are a 10/10. Highly suggest everyone looking for an outstanding meal come check this place out read more

The team IT are friendly, professional, & crazy quick & efficient. All pasta is made in house & their ingredients & recipes are authentic to true Italian cuisine. And your body doesn't feel sick after eating there -- seriously. It is clear that they take GREAT pride in all they do from the presentation of their restaurant to the food & desserts & overall customer service. We were greeted right away by Manuel & the manager & they were so attentive to ensure outstanding satisfaction across the board! It was impressive to see each person from the cook/chef, staff, & manager be so involved in each dining experience & clearly work so well together. During our vacation, we chose to make this restaurant our "date night" choice for dinner twice & came once for coffee after a morning walk, so we clearly enjoyed IT very much & we were sad our time there came to an end. BUT, when we come back in a couple years, we'll see them again & they have other locations should we find ourselves in the Miami &/or NY areas! They have a REALLY good thing going on there!!!! read more

I can honestly say this is the worst service I have ever experienced. Even the owner or manager didn't care about the service. Pizza arrived 10 minutes after ordering but the two pastas and lasagna never did. After 45 minutes and complaining about the food for my kid they brought the lasagna and it wasn't even hot. Probably sitting in the kitchen for at least 20 minutes. I got fed up at that point cause my wife had finished her pizza and my son was just starting. I got up and canceled my pasta order and asked for my daughter's pasta. They were annoyed that I even asked and in Italian the manager said "they just got here 20 minutes ago and complaining already". I immediately responded I speak Italian and he walked away. My daughter also was annoyed of waiting for pasta now 52 minutes, I got up and canceled the dish. Waiter was useless the service was disgusting and the manager rude. The most ridiculous part is that they added an 18% gratuity to the bill. I will never be back to this establishment ever again. Stay away. read more
