    Beets carpaccio
    Kristen G.

    While I thought the food here was good, the service and ambiance was just ok. The beets carpaccio was very tasty and fresh and the calamari, shrimp and zucchini were light and crispy. While the restaurant wasn't very busy it seemed that our appetizers took forever and we weren't checked on or given water refills. The wine selection wasn't the best either which was disappointing. I think the most disappointing thing was that as we were getting the check they were taking all the table clothes off and that showed such a lack of hospitality!

    Wow! Authentic, delicious and beautiful food! The food and the vibe are second to none for an authentic Italian experience! Only a couple waiters who were stretched thin and making the best of it

    Nutella lava cake

    Tireless hospitality, fresh pasta, and outstanding desserts made my experience at La Perla an objective five stars. The Old World ambiance and attentive, gracious service set the tone. While I do wish their wines by the glass were fruitier and less acidic, the fresh caprese starter was the first hit of the night. Liquid burrata, and with a perfect ratio of greens to tomato to cheese. For my main, I went with the pappardelle with porcini mushroom cream sauce. I do wish the noodles had been firmer. I sampled my friend's gnocchi bolognese and its consistency was better: firmer and with more bite. When they rolled out the dessert cart it was already obvious that we had to try it. I could have eaten that fluffy, moist, creamy tiramisu in 90 seconds. The Nutella lava cake, served with ice cream, raspberry, and a gorgeous dusting of powdered sugar, coated my tongue with chocolate and Nutella spread. It was so balanced.

    Amazing Wine Selection.  Cab Franc, Luisa.

    Cozy italian place! Loved our waiter and waitress, the food was so fresh and their wine selection was great!

    This place is super worthy of the five star reviews! It's definitely a hidden gem in the area. Parking was tricky to find, you park behind the building, turn on the street before the building. Our server was amazing and took care of us all night long. We ordered a variety of items, including a seafood appetizer with red sauce, gnocchi burrata, and the flounder. The highlight was the gnocchi burrata, I wish I would've gotten two. The flounder was the only item that wasn't that great which was a little disappointing because it was the special. Everything was priced at a good price point. This would definitely be a restaurant for a special occasion especially because this wait staff takes great care of you.

    Lobster ravioli

    I rarely leave reviews anymore but felt compelled to after dining here. Yelp did not disappoint. Maybe the best lobster ravioli I've ever had. The pepper cream sauce had saffron and was clearly cooked with a lobster stock. Amazing. The pasta also tasted homemade like they claim. The filling was a healthy amount of ricotta and lobster. I will definitely return here when I visit again in the future. Service was also great too.

    Best Italian food in all of south Florida! Quality food and ingredients with tons of homemade pastas and entrees. Service is always outstanding and the ambiance is like being in grandmas house. Truly an awesome experience and very time!

    Octopus appetizer
    Danielle M.

    This place has it all-- great homemade pasta, service, and ambiance. We came here to celebrate a person in our family and, La Perla Di Pompano did not disappoint! Having read all the wonderful Yelp reviews, I knew to make a reservation in advance. We parked in the back, and when we entered, we were warmly greeted and taken to our table. The restaurant is small with artwork of pretty flowers on the walls. The tables have individual lights and white linens. La Perla was busy and a tad loud, but the service was phenomenal. Our waitress told us about all the specials and was very attentive. Our waitress brought over a lovely bread basket filled with deliciously, seasoned breadsticks and slices of fresh cut bread. They bake their own bread, and it was absolutely fantastic. We cleared out the basket and they offered more, but we didn't want to be too full for when our entrées came. They had a special octopus appetizer. It came in a small cast-iron pan and had chunks of deliciously grilled octopus, along with potatoes, capers, and tomatoes. We devoured it right away, it was so good. My daughter opted for the Pollo Alla Tuscano, and my husband had their homemade pasta with clams. They were very pleased with their meals. I find it rare to see black squid ink pasta on menus these days., so when my husband pointed it out on the menu, I knew what I had to have. It came with a delicious red sauce and was chock full of mussels, clams, calamari, and large shrimp. It was fantastic, and I had more than enough to take home for a second meal the next day. While we did not order dessert, I did see samples of their desserts on a cart. They looked quite enticing! Our waitress knew we were celebrating a dessert, and she brought to our table a lovely custard-filled pastry drizzled with chocolate sauce. It was so good. Next time we go here, we will have to save room to share one of their desserts. La Perla is a small little gem of a restaurant. It's very authentically Italian and so nice to have in the neighborhood. They truly made a birthday celebration even better!

    Alfredo with shrimp and broccoli
    Dalia H.

    Really nice and intimate restaurant. It's seems to be pretty authentic Italian food. We had the calamari, which was really good. I couldn't find anything on the menu to interest me and I was craving Alfredo, so I just asked them to make me an Alfredo pasta with shrimp and broccoli and they didn't disappoint! Yes, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Service was great too.

    If you're looking for a classic Italian Bistro, this is it. Great homemade food, they even bring out every dish as it's ready instead of waiting as it should be. I had the Tagliatelle Pescatore in real squid ink, hard to find that nowadays. Great night out. Good wine as well.
