Ran across this lil trattoria while out and about one day running errands.... Mind you I'm a pizza taco beef stew meatloaf : KISS "keep it simple stupid " attitude towards food... We (friend and I) stopped in and decided to check it out. Well lo and behold I can only say lovely things about the place since they make everything fresh you can see them cooking the food there and you sit and converse and relax.... They have a build your own pasta dis option and they have the regular options and the ratio to person food is a lot... I had sausage personal zaaaa and friend had chicken fettuccini and we were both full with just a couple of bites... the food is flavorful and come to you piping hot which I like my food to be. They have wines and soft drinks. My favorite the moscato wine, fruitful and bold... their deserts the tiramisu ohhhh light and heavenly just the right amount of everything.... If you're going to be in Broward near the city of Plantation it's a must try .... Place is tucked in a lil strip mall area but the ambiance is absolutely worth going.... And the wait staff is very attentive to what you may need ....

I had such a great experience here tonight. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish…read more We started with the calamari, which was cooked perfectly--light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The garlic rolls were insane... honestly some of the best I've ever had. We shared a house salad, and it was huge--definitely big enough to split. Everything tasted super fresh, and the balsamic dressing was perfectly drizzled and flavorful without being overpowering. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta. I'm pretty picky about marinara sauce (and I'm Italian, so I hold places to a higher standard), but everything was completely on point. The flavors, the sauce, the portion--just really well done. What made the experience even better was the owner coming over to talk to us. She shared details about the food and the restaurant, which made it feel really personal and welcoming. They also host special wine tastings at the end of the month with a curated menu, which I definitely want to come back for. We didn't try the pizza this time, but I already know I'll be back. They offer thin crust and even a deep dish that you can order ahead (about an hour in advance), which sounds amazing. It's a smaller place, but it's cozy, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the service was excellent. I'll definitely be back--and next time I'm saving room for dessert (if I can stop myself from eating all the garlic rolls again).

The centerpiece of the restaurant was the Marana steel dome, stone slab rotary pizza oven. It was very crowded inside and on the covered patio (dogs permitted) but was seated promptly at our reserved time. The server was professional but not overly chatty. She did not provide her name upon greeting nor did she have a visible name tag, so I cannot give her the personal kudos she deserves. The mystery server offered her opinion on a few popular appetizers from the expansive tranditional Italian menu. Ordered braised rib Arancini to share with the table and a pepperoni pizza with a nice char cornicione and a tangy sauce. The pizza was 6/10 and the balls were an admirable 9/10. The decor was commendable but seem to overpower the food and therefore missed it's mark on this visit as a 5 star behemoth. The gender assigned bathroom was clean but needed an immediate investment for a door locking mechanism. Black partition walls separated the amenities with two-tone pattern vinyl flooring.

The locale is nicely decorated and has a very cute mural in the outdoor seating area, service was fast and friendly, but the gluten free pesto dish we ordered completely missed the mark. The pasta made out of chickpeas was very very hard and cold, and the pesto sauce was nothing special. We told the waiter about it and he took it off the bill. On the positive side, the hot honey al prosciutto pizza was very tasty. They have a very large menu that includes most Italian classic dishes, so we might comeback one more time to try some of their other dishes.

I will say parking is a little terrible in this plaza, so just head to the parking garage to make your life easier. The store was super clean and they have all the pick up orders right at the host stand for easy pick up. I was immediately greeted and assisted upon arrival by the friendly staff. My order was ready by the time arrived like the app predicted and the pizza was still hot. I'm normally not a big neapolitan pizza lover, I prefer thick crust pizza, but this was delicious. There was lots of cheese and it wasn't too greasy. It was very delicious and a huge pizza for a medium. They cut the pizza into like a million pieces so you get so many slices it's nice. Definitely will be back here super delicious.

We started with the white sangria (so refreshing!), a classic Caesar salad, and Pepe's Italian salad, both were delicious and great portions! For our table of 8, we ordered five small pizzas and somehow still had leftovers. Every pizza was delicious, but the Calabressa (the special) was hands down our favorite. We also loved the Amani Della Carne, Doppio Pepperoni, Margherita, and the Chicken Diavlo. The atmosphere was perfect for celebrating, and Robert truly made our night. He was attentive, friendly, and helped make my mom feel so special on her birthday. We'll absolutely be back, highly recommend for celebrations or just a great night out!

Large bay doors stay open, creating an inviting open-air atmosphere with plenty of fresh air and a relaxed vibe. Inside, every table has a view of the traditional wood-burning brick oven, along with multiple flat screens and music playing throughout the restaurant. One detail that stood out immediately was the visible service dog sign near the hostess stand. I was seated right away, and they even brought out a water bowl for my service dog without needing to ask. The server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered helpful recommendations, and confirmed they provide a 20% discount for military members and first responders on select meals, which is always appreciated. I shared a large Mona Lisa pizza topped with fresh basil, prosciutto, and thick slices of tomato. The thin crust came out perfectly crisp with just the right amount of char from the brick oven. Service was friendly overall, although it appeared the server may have been covering too many tables. Drink refills were missed, and it took a little while to close out the check. Even with that, the food, atmosphere, military-friendly discount, and service dog accommodations make this a place worth visiting for either lunch or dinner.

There is indoor and outdoor dining, and on this cool day the doors were left wide open for the fresh air to come in. Six of us shared the food. We had four appetizers, two large pizzas, an entree, two desserts, four glasses of wine, and two bottles of beer. For the appetizer we had really good fried calamari with a spicy sauce, scrumptious wood-fired wings, and two orders of the stuffed rice ball. Although I wasn't a fan of the sauce that came with the stuffed rice balls, (I am not a fan of sausages) it was crunchy and tasty. For the main entrees. We shared two large pizzas: the Brooklyn and the Joey D. I had the pollo mateau: breaded chicken cutlets with prosciutto, a sprinkle of cheese, caramelized onions, and mushrooms with a marsala sauce. The pizzas were both good. (I still don't like it when my crust gets charred, and some of parts of our crusts were black.) Nevertheless, the pizza afficionados at the table were pleased with their fare. The chicken dish needed something to help soak up the sauce. I was not told that the entrees weren't accompanied by a side of pasta and didn't bother ordering any when I realized the meal needed it. I took home the leftovers. Even though we were all stuffed, we got two desserts to share. We had a tiramisu; it was decent. And we devoured our one order (with 10 pieces) of zeppoles, which came with a delicious cream sauce. Deena was our main server with a strong assist from a man whose name I never got. They provided fast, friendly, excellent service.

We sat in the outdoor area, which has both table seating and an outside bar. It was definitely busy when we arrived around 7:30 p.m. because the band was playing, so tables were pretty close together and the atmosphere was lively and energetic. The music was really good and made for a great night out. Their menu has a little bit of everything -- pizza, wings, burgers, wraps, salads, and more. I ordered the grilled chicken salad, which was fresh and really good. My friends enjoyed southwest chicken salads and a wrap. Drink-wise, I tried a watermelon cocktail that was refreshing and delicious, while others had margaritas and beer. Later in the evening I was still a little hungry, so I ordered the garlic knots -- and I'm glad I did. They were more like bite-sized pieces of dough tossed in lots of garlic and olive oil, and they were so flavorful. Service was okay, but understandable considering how packed it was. Overall, this is definitely a great local spot if you're looking for live entertainment, a fun atmosphere, and some pretty good bites with friends on the weekend.
