Caffe Europa transported me to Italy. I was walking with my family and we wanted something delicious without having to wait to be seated. We walked across cafe Europa and decided to give it a try. I loved the decorations inside the restaurant. It has fantastic pictures of iconic places in Italy. Our waiter was also very friendly. He was prompt at getting our order and making sure we were enjoying our experience. The food was amazing. I'm still thinking of the pomodoro pasta and burrata appetizer. Everything was fresh and delicious. But one once of crumbs were left. Definitely recommend the key lime pie for dessert. It had the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

This is my favorite ever Italian restaurant. Everytime my family comes here it feels like coming home. Not only is the food phenomenal: their veal is so tender and delicious and their sauce is flavorful and amazing, but the service is great and makes you feel so special. They have a great wine selection too and the baby amarone is my favorite. The ambiance is beautiful and I would highly recommend dining here and getting their pistachio cannoli for desert.

Carpricciosa pizza. A+

My first visit to Cafe Europa. Four of us had dinner on a Monday and I was impressed at the crowd. By 7pm almost every table inside was taken and the bar was full. Europa has a dedicated and faithful following. I ordered the Carpricciosa pizza ( ham, artichoke hearts, green olives, mushrooms, plum tomato sauce and mozzarella). The crust was extra thin and crispy. The pizza was hot and scrumptious. The green olives add a nice salty flavor to the pie. It had the perfect amount of tomato sauce. 10/10. My partner ordered the Las Olas pizza. He loved his as well. Our guests each ordered pasta. One had penne alla vodka and the other had a tortellini special. It was a grand slam - everybody loved their dish. This place does Italian food right! I plan to return for lunch and try a pasta and give a further review. The bar looks like they make a mean dry martini. I shall return soon!

I was pretty impressed with this place. I have always been curious about eating here and finally was able to give it a shot. We really enjoyed ourselves, eating outside on the patio. The service was pretty decide and the food was even better. The bread was top notch. We really enjoyed their pizza and branzino. Another benefit of course was that they cook without using any types of seed oils. The food came out pretty fast and we were treated so well by staff. This place is now on our list as a regular must stop!

We love Caffe Europa as this is a very special place. We have been coming here since they opened in the 1990's. Years ago, we come for a cappuccino and espresso and pastries and sit in the patio on a nice afternoon. Then we started to dine here for dinner when we moved closer to Las Olas. It has become one of our favorite Italian restaurants in the area! The atmosphere is cozy yet lively. Located in the heart of Las Olas Boulevard where you can park behind the restaurant unless you get lucky with spot out front. I love the bread they place on the table immediately after you're seated. Freshly made and some small squares with sauce = delicious! Some of our favorite dishes are the calamari, rapini and sausage, caprese, rigatoni bolognese, lasagna bolognese, spaghetti vongole, chicken and veal Milanese, tortellini panna, eggplant parmigiana, pasta alla vodka! Desserts are homemade and incredible. I have learned to view the pastry dessert display window to help in my decision. My favorite is the blueberry tarts! Highly recommend and promise you will be satisfied and want to return again! Mangia!

During our Las Olas Pub Crawl we needed a pick me up and walked in and sat at the bar met with the fabulous barista Rafael. We ordered an Italian Expresso for $4.00 which was presented well with a side almond biscuit on a tiny spoon and it was perfect. Great strong Italian atmospere with a beautiful liquor and cafe bar. The pizza ovens were working in overtime for sure. Big Big menu. The bathroom is clean too.

Great nighttime vibe

Great local business. Lasagna was great, server was even better an atmosphere was wonderful. Definitely worth a visit.

Spaghetti Vongole
Aliza K.

Truly an amazing experience, the service was a 10/10, the staff was sooo attentive and kind! When we sat down they bright over some cheese bread that was like cut up pizza and it was SOOOOOOOOO good, we asked for more and they brought more over no problem! We started w a Caesar salad which was such a great Caesar, very solid! I ordered the whole wheat penne Europa, it was simple but sooo good! And a very yummy whole wheat pasta! My friend had the clams oreganato and she said they were delish, she would rate it a 7.5/10. My other friends got the spaghetti vongole, and they loved it!!! They rated it a 9/10, I cannot wait to come back here!!

My husband and I visited Caffe Europa on a Saturday night around 8 PM. While there was no wait, we were seated at the last available table as the restaurant was packed. The atmosphere reminded me of being in Italy, which brought back great memories. We started with their complimentary bread, served with olive oil and vinegar, which was delicious. We shared a Caesar salad, and it was fresh and flavorful. My husband ordered a shrimp pasta dish, which he said tasted amazing. I opted for the Bianca pizza, and it was absolutely excellent. Having tried pizza at Louie Bossi's Ristorante Bar Pizzeria, I can confidently say Caffe Europa's pizza is far superior - less greasy, bigger, and much more flavorful. The service was fast, and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Overall, this is easily one of my favorite restaurants on Las Olas now, and I highly recommend it!

We came here for our anniversary in October, and I couldn't believe he remembered us. He gave us a complimentary dessert and limoncello for my partner's birthday.

I started with the grilled octopus and cannellini beans--always a risk if the kitchen doesn't know its way around a tentacle. Fortunately, LaFuga does. The octopus was tender, flavorful, and seasoned like it had just come back from a summer abroad. A great start. For entrées, I went with the shrimp over homemade pasta and the swordfish. Credit where it's due: the seafood is where LaFuga really shines. Both the shrimp and swordfish were cooked exactly right--moist, perfectly seasoned, and confidently plated. If the meal had ended there, this review might've turned into a standing ovation. But then... the pasta. And while the menu proudly labeled it "homemade," I'm not sure it was quite "ready to leave the house." It was noticeably hard--whether from undercooking or an identity crisis, who can say? Let's just say the texture was more "al dente... and then some." To be clear, nothing was bad--it just felt like two different kitchens made the dish, and only one of them had read the recipe. All in all, LaFuga is worth a visit for the seafood alone. If they can get the pasta to stop pretending it's auditioning for a role as a firm mattress, they'll really be onto something.

I had been trying to get a reservation at Heritage for months, and somehow, by pure miracle, when a…read morecouple of girlfriends were visiting from out of town, we managed to snag a prime-time reservation on a Saturday night. After all the hype and difficulty getting in, I was very curious to see if it would actually live up to expectations--and honestly, it did. First, the cons. The restaurant is tiny. Like...teeny tiny. There's basically no standing room when waiting to be seated or picking up an order, so everyone kind of awkwardly crowds near the front door while servers and bartenders are constantly weaving around you looking mildly annoyed that you exist there. Eventually, people started gathering near the opposite end of the bar by the bathrooms because there was at least a little more breathing room. Once seated, the atmosphere is very lively, loud, and fast-paced. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely not the place for a quiet intimate dinner. Our server also may have been having an off night because there was a bit of attitude mixed in throughout the meal. That said... the FOOD. Unreal. Absolutely worth the wait and reservation struggle. Everything we ordered was exceptional. The sweet long pepper, Savage Garden salad, and Bolognese pasta were all incredible. Then came the pizzas--the fresh tomato pizza ("upside down pie") especially was ridiculously good. The squash blossom and cold pulled burrata pizza was also delicious. To finish--because we weren't stuffed enough--the strawberry olive oil cake. A literal perfect ending to the meal. Despite a rough start, the food completely stole the show. Easily an 11/10 meal. Now I just need to survive trying to get another reservation for round two.

I had to do the veal bolognese which was very comforting and filling while my husband had a hearty sausage and kale panini that I found to be a little too heavy for my taste. I would definitely like to try more from their menu as there were a lot of things that caught my eye but couldn't fit in for this visit. I would try to find a less popular time, if that's even possible.

Most of the appetizers and salads are under $20 and most of the pastas and some entrees are under $30. I was shocked that one reviewer thought this was expensive. I say the food is Italian style because I'm Italian American and I travel frequently to Italy. It is not Italian food but it is what Americans think is Italian and it is fine, good, tasty comfort food. I like supporting well run family owned restaurants. These folks work so hard and it's impossible to please everyone. I read that the family traces their roots to Ferrara and Rome before moving to Venezuela and then to the US where they developed restaurant experience and adapted to the culture here. There's a small wine list with 8-9 wines by the glass at only $12-13 each and you can find many simple bottles under $50 with no vintages listed. Service is friendly and very accommodating.

The dining room was full on the night we were there and the ambiance is simple and a little rustic with the brick walls and beige tables. We started with the grilled octopus and the Italian rice balls stuffed with meat. I think we confused them as the rice balls come 2 to an order and there were three of us so we asked if we could buy an extra one. The first order came up with only 2 but instead of just leaving them and bringing another- they took the 2 away and then just brought one with out the other two. Clearly we screwed them up with our request. Eventually we ended up eating three but not at the same time. The octopus was delicious! For our entrees, I had the spaghetti alla vongole which was delicious and packed with clams. One of my dining companions had the lobster ravioli done spicy and and LOVED it as it came with shrimp on top and small tomatoes. My other dining companion had a special of the day which was a pumpkin ravioli. I think something got lost in the description of that item as he was expecting more of a fall dish but it came with a red sauce on it which he said was an odd combo. For dessert, I was stuffed, but one of my dining companions got the tiramisu for dessert which he said was quite good. All in all- the food was quite good, the drinks were well poured and we had plenty of food to take home for another night. Nice to have this local place in our neighborhood!

This is not your typical Chicago Italian style restaurant. The menu is varied and I was able to find something to order. I am very picky about the Italian food I eat. The Angelo salad was delicious.

Dessert took things to another level: the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and an overflowing molten chocolate center was pure indulgence. This place is truly a hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale and an absolute must-try.

From the moment you sit down, everything just clicks the food, the service, the atmosphere it's all top-notch. What really stood out was the attention to detail. Chef Anthony personally came out to check on the table, which always adds a great touch and shows how much pride goes into what they're doing here. The food was outstanding across the board.

The antipasto was a home run, and the drinks were just as impressive well made and consistent. This is one of those places where everything is done right, and you can tell it's not by accident.
