Truly an experience. Set in what feels like a giant home, the dining is intimate and decadent. Aside from the wonderful atmosphere the fresh pasta and snapper special were exceptional. Have not been here in year's, it's only gotten better! read more

Food was good at best! Took nearly 1.5 hours to be served. Was placed by large party of loud drunks and cigarette smoking people on second floor who were shouting all night and going in and out of balcony door by our table. It was terrible ambiance to enjoy a night out. One waitress was visible for floor. No manager to assist or accommodate. Quite clear that the second floor is a spill over floor and your are treated as a left over! read more

Recommended by a friend who lives there, we came here for Sat night dinner. Not bad. It's definitely a pizza place and not much of an Italian place. The pizza selection is huge, the rest of the menu not so much variety. I was surprised to see that you cannot get just a glass of prosecco but you had to get a bottle. They had more servers working than customers so every 2 minutes there was someone at our table. Not a huge space and there is an outside for when it's not sweltering hot. read more

Wow!! Where have I been! What a unique spot to have a gorgeous four story restaurant next to the beach in a residential area. Just a heads up, they do have valet. We did not realize this and were frantically looking for a spot to not miss our reservation. Then to find out we needed to download "another" parking app which took some patience. So save yourself the stress, and valet. We called to let them know we were running late, and they were so kind to welcome us. We were greeted by the matriarch of the family owned business. Carmen is just lovely. I would love to sit with her and listened to her family history. The service was prompt, however not uncomfortable. The young man filling water, I feel like may be new in learning proper etiquette, and balancing a busy evening. Our waiter had great suggestions and was caring. They gave a complimentary delicious soup while we were waiting. We had Caesar salad that was plentiful for two. The raviolo was ricotta, spinach, egg yolk that was so delicious! I kept forgetting to take photos because everything was so delicious. The butternut squash ravioli was perfect. We definitely want to go back so we can try more items. They have a floor that can be set up for a private party. Yes there is an elevator! Each floor is unique and feels like a different vibe. The have a beautiful bar as well. I just can't say enough. I think it's great for groups, or for a date. If you haven't already, go check them out! Pretty sure you will be going back too! See you there and Enjoy! read more

WOW!! Sardelli was absolutely delicious!!! We went for my besties fathers birthday and we reserved space at the bar which was fun!! Pamela was the bartender and she was awesome! We started off with drinks and had to try the giant meatball (we got 2 for 6 people) for an appetizer and it was excellent!! We also had warm bread that was tasty!! I had the rigatoni and it was perfect! It came with sausage, meatball and braised beef I believe! I was in heaven!! The bartender brought out dessert for the birthday boy and it was pretty good cheesecake, but not my favorite or the best I've ever had. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, we were completely stuffed. I highly recommend this restaurant! Atmosphere, food and service was 5 stars!! I definitely would go back next time we visit Hollywood! read more

Sardelli - Rigatoni Pasta - Italian Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Had an extremely enjoyable dinner here last night. Started with a delicious complimentary tomato soup then two very good appetizers. We had the burrata crostini and an avocado and tomato salad. For dinner I had the veal chop parm and my wife had the yellow tail francaise. Both dinners were large and very delicious. The ambiance was incredible and service was 5 stars. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend. read more

The food was great. Italians know from beef and the portions were generous. Fine deserts but missing Tartufo. Great service

Delicious food and great service. Went during holidays. Ambiance is beautiful and newly decorated and remolded. Very very expensive imo. Wish the vibe was a bit more fun. I also wish I could frequent more often! read more

This is a beautiful restaurant a few feet from the beach in Hollywood, the service is very good but the food is hit or miss, the complimentary vegetable bisque is great and so was the the sweet and spicy appetizer that we had but the veal chop parmigiana was nothing special and the fettuccine carbonara was flavorless and the pancetta used was very oily. Maybe other items on the menu are better but I'll never know. Oh, it's pricey. read more

I had an unbelievable experience at Sardelli's on April 19th, 2024. The Bolognese was so good that I truly felt I was in Italy that night! Each course was perfectly plated like a piece of artwork. The attentive service by the Chef/Owner Fulvio and the entire staff made it feel like we were invited to a private party at his home. What more could you want from a night I will definitely be back soon. read more

Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant in Hollywood. The meatball was fantastic, sea bass fish cooked in wine lemon butter sauce, mash potatoes. Even the service was great! Thank you!!! read more

Delicious and great service! Beautiful view from patio, attentive team and wonderful variety.

Thank you Lord for your love and Grace to this undeserving servant. The experience at this restaurant was phenomenal from the food to the impeccable service. Meatball appetizer, burrata, ravioli was impeccable. The bone in rib eye steak, asparagus, and potato croquettes were delicious. Yes.I recommended this restaurant.. read more

It says a lot that fit our wedding presents two of our guests got us gift certificates to this restaurant. So far because of Covid we have only done pick up. But with us picking up and eating at home 25 mins later food was amazing. Can't wait to go into the restaurant and have a great meal read more

Food, service and ambiance was excellent. Can't wait to go again. The employees there were very attentive. read more

Wow! Everything was amazing! From the service by Diego, to the wine, to the food. Would 15/10 recommend to anyone in the area. We stayed at the diplomat hotel for a work conference and needed a place to have a business dinner. Everyone was so impressed and we all left full and satisfied. Also, it's a cute little townhome that's a few stories high and definitely makes for a quiet and peaceful ambiance. read more

While we went for my birthday, it was quickly unnoticed. They WERE aware. The food was excellent but they even said they didn't have a reservation???? HUH. Very limited menu. I had the Agnolotti with squash and it was good. Hubby got a Veal Chop parmigiana and he said it was delicious. I prefer NO meat. A VERY pricy menu. Although a nice place, I was disappointed that for almost 200$ my day went without a celebration. The water was nice but we waited over 25 minutes to finally get our check. Not sure why. Seriously...... read more

I went here for my birthday dinner on a Friday night. We had reservations. The place was full. It is very LOUD. It has a nice ambiance to it with dark lighting. It is located on the bottom floor of a condo building. It looks like you are entering someone's front door and living room. The staff is friendly and efficient. They bring you warm focaccia bread with fresh ricotta to spread on it. I ordered the rib, sausage, meatball platter with rigatoni pasta. The food was fresh and the sauce delicious. It was a portion for one person. Usually when I order this meal at other restaurants, it is huge and meant for sharing. My friend had the filet mignon which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The twice baked potato was lacking the prosciutto and cheese stated on the menu. We opted out of dessert due to being so full! This is a special occasion type of place. They have a good variety of items on the menu. There is a bar that seats about 10 people. read more

Sardelli Italian steakhouse is my favorite spot in south florida. Try the sweet spicy shrimp/burrata/ and some of their fine pastas dishes. Fulvio and his team are all 5 star and VIP service is extraordinary. Thanks again. Mike Banko read more

Sardelli's is hands down our favorite restaurant. It's perfect for a date night or entertaining customers. The food is incredible. This is not your typical Italian restaurant. Everything is made from scratch and you can certainly taste the difference. Jr. Is a phenomenal Executive Chef and his family is so accommodating. If you are in or around South Florida, Sardelli's is a MUST. Don't order from the menu. Ask to be served family style and request the porcini rubbed ribeye along with the fried lobster. Thank me later as this will be an amazing experience for you and whomever is lucky enough to join you. read more

Great food, great service and a very romantic setting. Definitely will return! I ordered the fish and it was fresh and cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the linguine carbonara and it was also delicious. Reservations are a must since the place gets packed on the weekends. Highly recommend this place. read more

Absolutely delicious. I'm going to say BEST ITALIAN FOOD EVER. I was away with friends for New Years and we were invited by a celebrity to have lunch on the private floor. It was simply awesome. I wish we didn't have to rush back to Ft Lauderdale to catch a flight. I feel like we missed out - and we will definitely be back. Great location, decor, food, drinks and staff. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. read more

This Home turned into restaurant is located in Hollywood beach. Just steps from the sand and broad walk . Valet parking is available for 6 dollars or street parking is also available (good luck finding a spot) . This 4 story restaurant is set up for dinner for two up to a dinner party. We only visited the 1st floor but were told second floor is same , 3rd is kitchen and top floor is for parties. Food comes in large portions with more than enough to share. The chef sends of a complimentary soup table side with fresh bread. Soup was amazing , bread was just ok nothing setting it above anyone else. Food is prepared nicely with great flavor to match . Table presentation and ambiance add to the excitement. Diego our server was very attentive and always near bye. Great wine list and full liquor bar as well. Pricing on food wasn't to bad . I would consider coming back again and trying something else. If I make it back great if not , at least I can say I dined here!! Live laugh and enjoy the sand on your toes read more

Excellent. Atmosphere , food and the service was fabulous!!. We loved the Pasta. The music was bliss

Service yes a star. Ambiance yes a second star. Nice decor, dim lighting, tablecloths and tables not too close together. Sorry no star for very mediocre, salty food. Pasta is NOT homemade, sauces mediocre. I could open a jar of sauce and buy Ronzoni pasta for less then $30! Sorry presentation is also lacking. The only thing I enjoyed was the amuse bouche which was a vegetable soup. Yes I am picky having lived in Italy. I expected more as friends said it was yummy. I'm fairness maybe their steaks are good but don't get pasta. The basque cheesecake didn't hold a candle to the real one. Sorry, can't recommend it. read more

My husband and I are on vacation and were looking for Italian food within walking distance of our hotel. We found this place on Yelp and let me just say, it was worth the price. The place is family owner and the customer service is top notch. The chef even sent vegetable soup just for us to try. Tucked away in a four story building, this restaurant really is a hidden gem. Our food was absolutely delicious and we're seriously considering coming back here again this week. Try this place out, you won't regret it! read more

Wow what an amazing restaurant, located on Van Buren if you blink you will pass the restaurant. The only thing that gives it a way is the valet, it's located in a four-story house, that has been outfitted into a beautiful restaurant. Fantastic steaks, all homemade pasta, family owned restaurant. Highly recommend, must make reservation read more

The ambiance is nice- it's a beautiful restaurant-the music as well as lighting was great! Because it was crowded, during COVID I had high hopes. I wanted to give this place a chance despite the "bad service" reviews I found on yelp and most people had great things to say about the food. My likes: Arugula Salad- nice flavor loved the walnuts, Burrata smoked- interesting taste but good, Focaccia bread- and butter sooo yummy, celery soup-needed salt but was tasty, Ribeye steak- needed salt and pepper but good. Dislikes: Calamari-soaked in Tomato sauce- too much sauce the calamari was soggy Chicken Parmigiana- flavorless, not enough sauce too much cheese. Chicken was dry- very underwhelming. Yellow tail- mashed potatoes were good, fish lacked flavor, again nothing mind blowing. Waiter (the older gentleman) wasn't the friendliest but he warmed up. Apparently he's been there a long time and has a reputation of being cold and short with customers. I'm 100% certain I will not be returning to this establishment- I feel this place isn't worth the $$$. When you're spending a lot of money on food you should have a top notch friendly fast service experience and every dish should be satisfying. This place left me scratching my head feeling like I overpaid for a sub pair dinning experience. read more

Best service and ambience! The food was amazing! Would recommend over and over! Carlos, our bartender and server was above and beyond! We were totally impressed! read more

Loveeee this place Everything about it is perfect From the wine to the steaks A heaven on earth read more

Out of touch and over priced. Perhaps if the "chef" spent less time trying to boost his social media portfolio to attract famous clients, the food would be the quality he boasts about. Networking is of course part of the role but, it seems to have gone a bit too far. The heart and love you expect in Italian food was nowhere to be found. Alas, let's start with the positives- the ambience and the cocktails. The ambience was lovely, especially around the holidays, wonderful decorations. The dirty martini was excellent as was the glass of barolo. The wine list is extensive but comes with a severe price mark up and there is only a minimal selection of wines by the glass. The server will only take your order once, so you cannot order in courses and have to be fully prepared when they approach. The volume of the place was significant, I could barely hear the person who was seated across from me. Plus we were seated next to the supply cart- where everyone got their salt and pepper, etc. so there were frequent interruptions. Forget trying to get up and use the restroom, you'll be constantly trying to dodge staff with plates and trays, it's like a circus. I was most excited about the raviolo but it was the typical undercook pasta with an overcooked yolk, total disappointment. We cut into it and flour came out, that level of undercooked pasta. The side of rapini and sausage was tasteful without being oily. I had mixed emotions regarding the La Florentina (steak for two). The quality of the meat was great BUT the steak itself was cool and had no sear. In fact, everything we ate was quite a few degrees too cold. Surprisingly, our favorite was the twice baked potato, crunchy on the outside yet fluffy and creamy on the inside. Oh and the "dress code" seems to be only suggested if you're the average customer, as there are people strolling in wearing sweatpants and track suits. All things considered, we would not return nor recommend. read more

I went to Sardelli's about a month ago and had a wonderful experience. The mushroom rub ribeye steak was absolutely excellent and enough for two people to share. I have been to many expensive steak restaurants in NY and this area and was really impressed with the flavor, tenderness and quality of this steak. I hyped up the restaurant to my date, who was not with me on this initial visit and visited the restaurant, again, on June 24, 2023. WE ORDERED THE SAME DISH! Unfortunately the steak was the exact opposite! It's $75, which you don't mind based on my initial dining experience. The second time, the steak was TASTELESS & TOUGH! I could not believe that this was the same restaurant! Did they take a non chef off the street to run their kitchen! Needless to say, I will never go back to the restaurant! This inconsistency is inexcusable for a restaurant at this level! read more

I'll cut to the chase on this one. I absolutely adored Sardelli. From the ambience to the decor to the service to the food.....a home run! You could pass Sardelli and not even know it (except for the valet in front). There is no sign on the regal looking townhouse. The intimate dining space on the first floor, consisting of dark colors and huge gilded mirrors, makes you feel like you are dining in a private home. The food was absolutely divine! The menu was certainly a crowd pleaser for my entire family because it pleased the meat, fish, and pasta lovers. Sardelli is a first rate steak house but also has lots of fresh fish. Sardelli also makes all of it's pasta in-house. Items the table ordered: Chopped Pork Belly Caesar: the chopped pork belly made this more interesting than your average Caesar and the dressing was very good. The Salad of the Day: I forgot exactly what was in this but it just looked like lots of greens. Forgettable. Raviolo (ricotta, spinach, pancetta, egg yolk, sage brown butter, in one big ravioli): So scrumptious! I am still deciding who makes the better Raviolo, Sardelli or Raviolo. I am leaning towards......Sardelli! Filet Mignon: Tender & tasty! Branzino Special: Cooked in a lemon sauce with capers, this was light and just perfect. The portion was big enough for my Mom & I to share (along with a little extra pasta, of course!) Short ribs: Braised for 48 hours, Husband said they were soft like "butter" and absolutely delicious. Cavatelli, braised veal shank, parmigiano, truffle butter, veal broth: I ordered a half portion of this just in case the fish I shared with my Mom was not enough. Boy, I wish I had ordered a full portion because everyone else devoured it! The pasta had the perfect texture and the sauce was delectably savory but not too rich. This was my favorite dish of the night, even if there was far too little of it left for me! Being a birthday celebration, we did finish with dessert. Sardelli was out of Creme Brûlée that night so we had to settle got a a Bread Pudding and a Chocolate Bomb Cake, both with ice cream. I only had a taste of each but they were sinfully rich and delicious. The service was very friendly, although dishes came out a tad slow at times. I don't think this was the server's fault, but the kitchen's. For example, when it took a while for the Raviolo, we were told that the Raviolo are made fresh and they were not ready yet. When they came they were well worth the wait! At another lull in service, our service came out with a complimentary small bowl of cream of tomato soup ( very yummy!). A little late for an amuse bouche, I am not sure if Sardelli usually does this mid service or the chef sent it since he knew service was slow. After our meal, we toured the 3 other floors. These are great rooms with spectacular views for parties and events for 30-80 people. Sardelli will definitely be high on our list for special occasion dining destinations. I look forward to future visits and trying some more homemade pasta! read more

We ate there last Saturday - We were a group of 6 - It was a surprise celebration so I did arrive 15 minutes after the group with the person that we were celebrating - I was told when we arrived, you are late! 4 person were sitting at the table with cocktails waiting for us so not sure why I got that nice welcome. It was our first time, we did mention that to the server, he was not helping with the menu at all, I had to ask about the Specials - He asked if we will be ordering wine, he even said, you don't have to be rich, we do have bottle a 9.99$. We felt that because we didn't order wine he had no interest to our table - I had to ask for bread, I had to ask for water to refill our glasses - At any time he came and asked how was everything. The food was just ok - We weren't wowed. The inside is beautiful, we had a nice table on the 2nd floor. read more

My boyfriend and I dined here for one of our first meals on a recent vacation. We were impressed by all the high reviews and decided to give this place a go! Sardelli oozes with romance. Located on a residential street in a four-story house, the only tell-tale sign you're at a restaurant is the valet station outside. Otherwise, you hear the chatter of other residences enjoying the warm ocean breeze and see the soft glow of the evening lights. Upon walking in, you immediately realize you're in a classy restaurant. A large bar sits to the corner and an open dining room is filled with large tables prepped with formal settings. We made same-day reservations and were seated immediately. When we first arrived the restaurant was fairly empty and we questioned the necessity of our reservations, but patrons soon filed in and I would highly recommend not taking any chances--make the reservation! We started off our meal with a complimentary mushroom soup. This was delicious. For our appetizer, we ordered the Sweet & Spicy shrimp, served with shaved red onions, cilantro, and habanero jelly. For $15, this is a pricey appetizer, but the size of the shrimp and the serving is generous. The shrimp arrives lightly coated in a fried batter, hot and fresh on the inside. The sweet and spicy sauce, combined with everything else in the dish complements itself very well, and the whole thing is incredibly delicious. We finished every bite! For my main, I chose the duck special. Served with a red wine reduction, this dish was perfectly seasoned. The duck was cooked incredibly well and the whole plate was bursting with delicious flavor. We decided to grab dessert elsewhere, but I have a feeling you can't go wrong with anything at Sardelli. Definitely a great, romantic date spot and a must try! read more

Two stars, you can't have good food without service to match! We were a party of 10 dinner at 8:30, we arrive with two bottles of wine to uncork. We were greeted amazingly and escorted upstairs to a very comfortable and convenient table given a stroller in tow. The waiter comes to our table already a bit overwhelmed and understandably we are a big group, we bring out the first bottle and he immediately said there is a corking fee. When we ask, he said it depends on the bottle, what? That's when we said ok how much for this bottle, he said he'd get back to us. Upon his return $50, we said ok. As he was taking our appetizers it seemed he wanted our mains but we kindly asked for more time. When he came back for mains I felt uncomfortable because I could see his face as one or two in our party were not ready‍. It came time for second bottle, not the same as first and we had to ask for new glasses because apparently we were gong to drink from the same glass. Food was very good but the service really overshadowed the quality of the dishes. It could be the waiter being from Peru may just have different customs but at that level of dining, this should be worked out! The rest of the staff was great and even began to take over, I don't think we deserved any less. read more

This is a duplicate of the more correct Yelp entry http://www.yelp.com/biz/sardelli-hollywood erroneously created by adding an "s" to the correct restaurant name, Sardelli. I've reported the matter to Yelp as being an error entry as well as a duplicate, but for the meantime merely enter my review as previously posted under the correct name of the restaurant. Sardelli is definitely an upper scale restaurant which is pretty well evident not only by their food, which clearly uses all top notch fresh ingredients but also, as expected, by their prices which though somewhat steep aren't unreasonable for what you get. Their hostess who greeted me at the door with a "What you want?" question could certainly use little more polish and some better mannerisms; and it's always nice to be asked something like "Is this table good?" when seating you rather than simply being marched over to a table especially when you are there on a customer starved Monday night. I was first giving a complimentary cup of pea based soup which was really delicious and served as a pleasant start to my meal. I started off with the Caesar salad which came with a good array of white anchovy along with a particularly fine dressing and coated with a top shelf tasty parmigiano cheese. The salad itself was crispy, fresh, full flavored and contained the very heart of the romaine. For my entrée I went for the duck with cherry, which contained a cherry with which I am unfamiliar, but served as a good enhancement, complimenting the overall flavor of the duck. They had several specials such as a veal chop & etc. and their menu contains a good selection of meats in which they seem to specialize. I did see the veal chop ordered by another table and was pleased that I had declined it as it was served to them covered with what appeared to be some type of tomato based sauce that I would fear might be more detracting to the flavor of the dish than enhancing. Overall, it's a good restaurant, I had a pleasant dining experience and wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

Well I must start off by saying that I haven't posted in a long time . Haven't seen the need to talk about the regular places I go. Been there done that , but tonight I would have to say that this was the BEST meal of my life ! Great place , small cozy Italian with such a personal touch . We ordered the shrimp appetizer and the meatball to start off with , when we were surprised with a complimentary cream of carrot soup that was amazing . The apps came after and we were blown away , shrimp were sweet and spicy and the meatball was big and the sauce I wanted to drink . We then followed with 2 pasta dishes one better than the other and a veal-chopped pounded . All I can tell u is that we spent $189 for 3 And there's enough leftover for another meal tomorrow .
