    Margarita pizza
    Olena M.

    Very cozy Italian restaurant in Coral Springs. I had stopped by before for takeout, but didn't realize how small and intimate the place was. The octopus was absolutely delicious -- tender, perfectly cooked, and served with a great salad and sauce. I would come back just for that. The pizza dough was amazing too, and even the cheese pizza from the kids' menu was excellent. The only downsides are that the place is very small, a bit pricey (a regular glass of wine is around $15), and many pizzas include prosciutto, which limits options if you don't eat pork. Overall, great food, and next time I'd probably order takeout again.

    Today 40 of us went to Livello's for a Garden Club Luncheon. Located in the Michael's Plaza on University in Coral Springs. Our servers were exceptional and attentive! We were served promptly and frequently since it was family style. The food was delicious! We had Caesar Salad, Pear Pasta, and Meatballs as appetizers. We also were served a pasta dish, a Lemon Chicken and a Salmon. For dessert we had Tiramisu, Cannoli, A Cookie and a Mocha Pudding. I highly recommend Livello's for an individual or group meal! You won't be disappointed. Make sure to call for a reservation as the restaurant is very small.

    We celebrated my 60th birthday here and ever since, this has become my favorite restaurant. Chef Bruno (formerly of Tavalino) is doing remarkable things here. From gorgonzola crusted lamb chops, delectable mussels, house-made pasta, chicken cutlet alla vodka with prosciutto, and of course his famous Sicilian Amaretto cookies, without a doubt, you will find something you love. The menu changes monthly, and the daily specials can't be missed. They serve lunch Tuesday-Saturday from 11am-3pm. The lunch menu has a little bit of everything and right now they are offering a three course lunch for just $25.00. What got my attention, was their new addition of made to order prime burgers to the lunch menu. I love a good burger, and the one I had was amazing. The kitchen even split it for us, which was an unexpected surprise. The small dining room has a cozy yet elegant vibe, that makes every visit feel special. Livello is chef-owned with farm to table concepts. They do catering and I heard their Sunday brunch is fabulous. I recommend making reservations, as they get very busy. A heartfelt thank you to Chef Bruno for creating something truly special.

    We dined at Livello tonight and had an enjoyable experience. We started with the zucchini flowers stuffed with burrata. The dish was well prepared, but I personally wasn't a fan of the burrata served hot I'm more accustomed to it being cold, so that threw me off a bit. For the entrée, we had the prime strip special, which was excellent. It was served with potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, and broccoli rabe, topped with a really tasty cheese that tied everything together beautifully. This was definitely the highlight of the meal. Dessert was a custard pie with fruit, whipped cream, and grated dark chocolate. The accompaniments were great and well balanced, but the pie itself was just okay, not bad, just underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. What truly made the evening memorable was the service. Christina was outstanding, professional, attentive, and genuinely personable. For sure the best service I've had in a long time. Would return, especially for the entrées and Christina!

    I ordered this pizza online and came to pick it up. It's in a shopping plaza. The pizza was actually very flavorful and I enjoyed the taste. My only issue was that I ordered it well done however it did not seem that way. The bottom of the pizza was rather soft and flimsy. When I got home I put it in the oven and let it baked a little longer and it was perfect when I tried this place again. Yes if I was in the area.

    I can tell is the Number 1 Italian restaurant in Florida!!! Congratulations to that chef. I haven't tasted anything like this before The food is beyond perfect And the place is very cozy The service is great also

    We had another great experience at Livello Italian Restaurant. The atmosphere had a modern upscale feel, but still felt comfortable and welcoming. Sitting near the open kitchen/pizza oven gave the meal a nice energy, and everything that came out looked carefully prepared. We started with a beautiful burrata-style dish with fresh greens, apples, crispy bits, and a great balance of creamy, sweet, and savory flavors. The wine pairing was excellent as well, we had a bottle of Black Stallion Los Carneros Pinot Noir, which worked perfectly with the meal. The entrées were the highlight. The Brooklyn Chicken Cutlet Alla Vodka w/ ravioli... crispy, creamy, cheesy, and definitely not a small portion. The pizza was also excellent, with a great crust, fresh toppings, and that wood-fired flavor you hope for when you see the oven in the background. We finished with Cannoli, which was beautifully plated and a perfect ending without being too heavy. Overall, Livello felt like a place that cares about presentation, flavor, and the full dining experience. Great spot for a date night, family dinner, or a nicer Italian meal without feeling overly stiff. We'll definitely be back. Recommended: Brooklyn style chicken cutlet entrée, and a bottle of Pinot Noir.

    Great little restaurant in Coral Springs, real hidden gem! Chef Bruno is incredible and the staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. The place is small, so make a reservation in advance. We bring a special bottle of bubbly and they just charge a cork fee, which is nice.

    Livello serves hot food hot & cold food cold. It's all done with flair, an Italian flair! And, on a recent Monday Night (when it is my understanding Livello is closed) a guest chef, Chef Nikol, came in and did a pop up of her Greek food. The bread is so good but I have been known to turn it down to make room for other victuals ... such as my current scallop favorite. Everything is fresh as in someone went shopping first. It is my understanding takeout pizza can be picked up here by ordering online using the Slice app or other online methods. Try it out! Reservations recommended for dine in.

    I visited this restaurant on a Wednesday night. Be aware that a credit card is required to secure a reservation, and you'll need to confirm via email on the day of your reservation. On the reservation it asks if you are celebrating anything. I entered that it was one of our parties birthday. Nothing was said by our waiter: Why ask? I didn't say anything while we were there because I was anted to surprise her. The atmosphere inside was lively, but the volume of conversation was extremely loud, making it challenging for those with hearing difficulties. Dining outside might be a better option if you prefer a quieter experience. Our server, Isaac, was efficient but lacked enthusiasm. He presented the available steaks and recommended the most expensive option as his favorite. The wine pours were generous, but it felt like he was pushing for an additional sale rather than genuinely recommending a pairing. Notably, he didn't ask about food allergies, which seemed like an oversight. The food, however, was a highlight. We enjoyed: * Livello's Whipped Ricotta ($28): rich and flavorful *. Pear Fiocchi | 21|: can't go wrong with flavor, however the portion was small * Pollo Al Martini ($40): very good and plentiful * Spicy Rigatoni Lobster alla Vodka ($48): good, although possibly missing salt and a bit more lobster. There was an abundance of pasta. Next time we would like to try a variety of pizzas they offer. The fig pizza is on my list! Enjoy!

    Exceptional!! Wow!! I would never expect such a nice restaurant like this to be tucked in the plaza it's located in, so don't let the location fool you. I really hope they stay around because I cannot wait to go back again!! The staff = chefs kiss! From the hostess, to the waiter, from the person bringing out your food and the other person helping box it up; every person was so genuinely friendly and outgoing. As soon as my mom and I walked in and were greeted by the two sweetest girls (one's name is Jamie like myself), you just know they're going to treat the guests wonderfully (I would say they treat you like family - not the family that fights - but the family that is supportive and loving). The atmosphere is cozy and feels so comfortable, yet fancy and classy. It's not a huge place, which is great, but enough space and room to accommodate 2 people for date night or 10 for a birthday at a table. There is also seating outside and at the bar facing the open kitchen. **Note: they do not serve liquor!** The food .... MY GOODNESS. From start to finish everything we ordered was freakin' fantastic. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the lobster in my pasta; it was a bit fishy and tough, but still edible enough. I would just order something else the next time I go because the short rib my mom had was insanely tender and delicious. Because everything is homemade/made to order and you can certainly tell how high-quality the food is, it does take some time to get to the table, but it is so worth the wait. Order yourself a bottle of wine and just hang out and enjoy watching other peoples amazing dishes come out as you wait for yours. We didn't have any room for dessert, but we did see one of the girls walking out with a carrot cake that seriously made my jaw drop to the floor! I will recommend this place to everyone and I'm looking forward to enjoying this experience again in the very near future.

    It was our first time at Divieto ... although my husband thinks we've been there before. (Ummmm,…read moreno, no we haven't.) Anyway, in any case, we enjoyed it thoroughly, and that's why I'm doubling down that we haven't been there before - we would have been back! It was our anniversary and a Saturday, and fortunately we went early enough to avoid the rush. The hostess was lovely and, when I mentioned we usually like to sit at the bar, she said not to worry about our reservation and sit wherever we like. We ended up at a table because the bar was pretty crowded and we wanted a more quiet evening. So, Ben was our server and he was fantastic! He gave me a solid recommendation when I asked for his opinion, he was attentive without being a pest, and he had a great personality. I don't rave about a server, but he was a gem! We had a Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs and calamari. My husband said the spaghetti and meatballs were very good and the calamari was one of the best I've had anywhere - totally crunchy yet tender. (Thank you, Ben, for the recommendation!) The meal is served with a crusty bread and oil with balsamic, and I love a crusty bread. We were treated to an anniversary dessert of a brownie with ice cream, and who doesn't like that?! Anyway, it truly was a nice evening. I can understand why the reviews are so positive, and it's always a pleasant surprise when expectations are not only met but exceeded!

When we arrived, we checked in and were seated immediately. I was a little overwhelmed by how loud the restaurant was at first, but thankfully the live band quickly became a great distraction. They were easily one of the highlights of the night. Their song selections were fantastic, and the lead singer had an incredible voice and amazing energy. Unfortunately, the food was pretty underwhelming. The mussels were a great starter--I would absolutely order them again and highly recommend them. The steak, however, lacked seasoning and was very bland. The lobster mac and cheese was also disappointing. After a few bites, I had no interest in finishing it. Surprisingly, the broccolini was the best thing I ate all night. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Honestly, I would have been happy with a plate of just that, and I highly recommend ordering it as a side. Overall, I'm glad I finally had the chance to visit and cross it off my list of restaurants to try. While the live music and service made for an enjoyable evening, the food didn't quite live up to the hype for me.

I remember looking up local places that had freshly made Italian way way back and this was one of the spots. What a joy to have homemade authentic Italian pasta nearby! Tonight we came in during the Labor Day holiday weekend on Sunday night with our toddler. Judging by the reviews I was on the fence about this being a date night or trying to bring the kiddo but I was feeling adventurous. We lucked out- no reservation; walked in with a toddler and it they sat us in one of the back rooms with a big party table- perfect. Bring on the large group who will be living it up family style and louder than us. A beautiful interior, with winding rooms to section off different areas. The front area more well lit, a mid section with the bar and the back room for a large party. Every space separated with rows of wine which they are very well versed in. That must be why they aren't just called 'Pasta...' The actually ended up being super toddler friendly but I wouldn't recommend to any ol' kids. It's intimate and very date night style restaurant- but they were more than accommodating. Our daughter got a high chair, a gold chalice for water and even a plate of homemade pasta with butter. The staff was very friendly to her and everyone said 'ciao bella' which she loved. On to the adults, my husband and I got cocktails- both of them were outstanding- my husband got an old fashioned and I got a gin drink with rosemary infused gin with a bubble on top. It was beautiful. They were so delicious. My dish was the Pappardelle al Sugo di Cinghiale. Pasta with wild boar sauce, outstanding- perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Meat just fell apart.

    Sette Mezzo Ristorante 6370 St. Rd 7 (Regency Lakes Village…read moreCenter) Coconut Creek Despite living less than 2 miles from Sette Mezzo, Wednesday night was my very first visit to the restaurant. They've been around about 9 years, and I've lived in Coconut Creek for 20 years, but somehow--I was barely aware that it existed. After reading a great review by Susan Stone last week, I made a reservation for Wednesday the 26th. When the day arrived, it was stormy with on and off rain showers, but because there is very easy parking in the Center, we found a spot steps from the door. The interior of the restaurant is attractive and there is a very compact bar in the back. I can see myself sitting there in the very near future (happy hours are 4-7 on weekdays). It was not particularly crowded and our server led us to a table on the edge of the main dining room. It was perfect and while I had read a few comments on Yelp that said it was too brightly lit, that was not the case when we were there. We started with the same cocktail that Susan Stone had, the Bello Giorno (vodka and Prosecco with a splash of cranberry, $12). It was light and refreshing and the very definition of an apéritif. I had checked the food menu online and both my husband and I THOUGHT that we knew what we wanted. So, I was more interested in the wine list, since I was certain about what I would order. But when Melinda, our charming server, came over to recite the copious number of specials, it changed everything. In addition to veal, beef and lobster specials, there was a crispy skin branzini, as well as a yellowtail snapper dish. She gave us some time to debate it (and, for me to look for an acceptable white wine since we were no longer ordering pasta). What did not change was the appetizer we had selected in advance. We shared an order of Cervelatta Sausage ($20), something we both love. Sette Mezzo's version was slightly charred and served on a bed on onions and peppers. It was excellent and authentic. I chose yellowtail snapper, and my husband had crispy skin branzini (both $42). The snapper was in a lemon butter sauce and served with spinach and potatoes. The branzini was crispy on one side and perfectly cooked on the other side. It was also accompanied by spinach and potatoes. One of the reasons we have never been to Sette Mezzo is because I rarely want Italian food. Don't get me wrong, I love Casa D'Angelo and Anthony's, and a few others, but as a cuisine, it's not my first choice. I generally want fish when I dine out and had I realized how well this restaurant can prepare fresh fish, we would have been here many years ago. We also shared a bottle of Italian Chardonnay, Scarpetta ($42), which was a perfect match for our fish because it was a refreshing, largely unoaked chardonnay from Friuli. We rarely order a full bottle at restaurants these days because there is often unspoken pressure to eat, pay and get out. I felt like unless it was a busy Saturday night, we'd never get the bum's rush at this establishment. We spent about 2 hours in the restaurant and our bill before tax and tip was $181. We paid cash, but I saw no notices about mandatory credit card fees or gratuities. Let me just stop right here and assure you that you do not need to spend $200 to dine at Sette Mezzo. I did not snap a photo of the restaurant's menu because it's readily available online and the prices are accurate. Many pastas are $20-$26 and the veal and chicken dishes are mostly about $25. I took photos of the wine list and both the cocktails and wine are priced fairly. I was originally torn between 2 Super Tuscans, but because we chose seafood, I was delighted to find the chardonnay. Without question people can dine well for far less than what we spent. It is my opinion that this is so much more than a neighborhood spot. Although, I am delighted it's in my neighborhood, the quality of the dishes, as well as their expertise with fresh fish, elevates the experience and makes it worth a bit of a drive.

    One of my all-time favorite restaurants in South Florida (or anywhere for that matter haha)…read moreRita and chef Franco have done such an outstanding job, creating a vibe to me that is so pleasant and welcoming when I come I feel like I'm home Chef Franco's food is just outstanding some of the best Italian hands down And Rita has created a loving environment, happy awesome staff and done an outstanding marketing job. It's hard for me to come and not get the SACCATINI (Pasta purses stuffed with pears and cheese in a pink sauce) And Pounded veal Milanese But after coming for years finally got some new dishes and everything was nothing short but amazing. If you haven't been your missing out, if you have you KNOW! (Shout out as well to Angela such a wonderful host. And Philip and Sasha incredible servers )

    I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of this place as my family…read moreappreciates the time and effort it takes to make good homemade Italian food. The restaurant has a nice outside seating area and the food is cooked to perfection. The service was fantastic as well and our waitress was from Rome which made us feel right at home. The pesto bread they bring you is amazing ! The portions are just right and nothing comes out sloppy or too saucy. A perfect harmony of flavors. I also suggest that you don't skip out on dessert because the Tartufa was on point. If I had to say anything not great. It was the peas. The peas in my pasta were hard and I know it's an Italian thing but who wants peas in their pasta. We will be back !!

    Long story short, DO NOT COME HERE…read more Read the reviews, they mean it. It's an expensive restaurant with long waits, way beyond what they state. For the long story: Our food took almost 2 hours, and that's honestly because when we had to stop them to talk to us, after over an hour, our waiter said, " oh sorry I'll bring you your check". We didn't even get our food, that was strike one. They not only forgot but refused to take accountability and said oh you must have misunderstood. No we did not. They brought us food that was not thoroughly cooked as well as cold/raw. We ordered, 3 plates of pasta, lasagna, branzinos. We had multiple people in our party with allergies and strongly believe they mis-plated a dish or reused a dish without cleaning it. One person had gotten an allergic reaction and we left with plates with 2 or fewer bites and the rest taken to go since they refused any accountability. We paid full price with zero cares from the entire staff. Such a waste of space and time this place is poorly managed. It saddens me that in my city this place portrays an upscale Italian restaurant and it is badly run. Save your bucks, or risk getting upset. I wish you luck everyone!
