I had been trying to get a reservation at Heritage for months, and somehow, by pure miracle, when a couple 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. read more

We had reservations but still had to wait half an hour to be seated. It was pretty annoying that a group of four who came in after us but walked to the front of everyone else who was waiting get seated first because they seemed to know some of the staff. Our waiter was awesome, great personality, and good recommendations on drink and food choices. We had the pinkity drinkity and Ginny 17 which were both on point, well-balanced drinks. 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. read more

It took me forever to finally make it to Heritage. I was waiting on friends, reservations, the "right time"... and it just never happened. Until one random Sunday while running errands in Fort Lauderdale, I decided to take a chance and go solo. Best decision. I was able to grab a seat in the pizza section after a short wait (they quoted 35 minutes, but it moved quicker). Also parking is not an issue like some reviews say. There's a large lot across from Perkins Restaurant & Bakery. Service was impeccable from the start. I ordered The Spritz (prosecco-based and refreshing), which was the perfect way to begin. Even though the place was busy, I never felt rushed. The kale + finocchio salad was incredible with the fresh, nutty, creamy without being heavy, and perfectly balanced. Then came the gnocchi marsala... and wow. Soft, pillowy, rich, and honestly one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. I kept telling myself I'd save some, but I couldn't stop eating it. One of the highlights was watching the kitchen in action. The chef's presence, focus, and attention to detail really stood out. it felt like watching a performance. At the end of my meal, the chef came around to check on guests. I thanked him, and even though I said I was too full for dessert, I got one of home. The tiramisu brownie was next level rich, decadent, and unforgettable. This wasn't just dinner, it was an experience. I left genuinely happy and already planning to come back... solo again. read more

Mushroom pizza - Must try. We also had truffle Arancini balls, which were incredible. Drinks were great, service was great. The place is pretty small so expect a wait during lunchtime, but there is a good amount of bar seating if you're into that. The location is walkable and convenient. Meter parking is nearby. Overall great experience. read more

What a find! I stopped in for a quick lunch, and this place completely blew me away. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the bolognese was incredibly rich and flavorful. The eggplant parm was outstanding , naturally sweet from the delicious tomato sauce, with a great crunch and the perfect thickness. I'll definitely be back in April to try their clam dishes.

Heritage should definitely be on your list of places to try, if you have not already enjoyed their delicious food. Whether you visit for lunch, dinner, or late night vibes, Heritage does not disappoint. You can taste the thought and care that goes into their dishes. I have not had one thing that I didn't enjoy. Definitely grab reservations during peak times for this more intimate of restaurants. On my last visit, my friend and I grab 2 spots at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The bartenders, and staff overall are great! read more

Chris and Giuseppe throw down in the kitchen! Places is phenomenal! Five out of five would recommend!

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in town. Cozy, simple decor and consistently amazing food. Their homemade rigatoni with smoked pancetta, and butter cream sauce is a must-order! The pasta texture is absolutely perfect every time. I always try something new as well, and the Italian Wedge we had this visit was excellent. Congrats on earning a spot in the Michelin Guide 2025 - well deserved. Hope they continue to keep the same great quality and reasonable prices as they get busier. read more

My most thoughtful son took me to this adorable and intimate restaurant for Mother's Day. The ambiance was charming. Our service was amazing. Our waiter was very kind, attentive and even gave us suggestions with our food selections we were deciding on. The food was phenomenal. For starters we had the calamari and the savage garden salad, so good. We then had the pepperoni pizza and shared the BOLOGNESE pasta. The pasta was so savory and the pizza was perfect! We forgot to take a picture of the pasta we dug right in and devoured it; it was so tasty. Of course, we had to end it with dessert and our cafecito. We had the strawberry olive oil cake perfectly moist and espressos were divine. Thank you for making our experience here inviting and memorable. read more

I've been meaning to check this place out for ages, and it did not disappoint. I actually went to grade school with the head chef, Rino, so I already knew it was going to be good. This spot gets busy, so reservations are a must since seating is limited. The interior has a warm, inviting glow with cozy lighting, an industrial vibe, cool artwork, and a lively, fun atmosphere. The food was absolutely out of this world. We tried the meatballs, microgreen salad, and Oreo bread pudding. The meatballs melted in my mouth over a creamy bed of polenta. The microgreens had the perfect crunch with dried fruit, nuts, and a little something extra I couldn't quite place. And that Oreo bread pudding was simply stellar . Such a wonderful dining experience. Thank you, and wishing many more years of success. read more

Came by for lunch; the worst thing about our 6-person lunch was that we were stuffed along a counter on the inner wall surrounding the space where the Heritage team was preparing pizza. Getting past that? The food was great. We did a couple pizzas, a massive salad, a chicken panini (also massive) and two desserts: the tiramisu brownie and the bourbon butterscotch budino. Everything we tried was excellent, and I also tried The Pink Drink for a (vacation) lunch time cocktail. Solid experience. When I'm back in FLL, I'll have to give this a look! read more

Excellent Italian restaurant with very good service. The staff was attentive and gave great recommendations, which made the experience even better. I tried the spicy vodka pasta, and it was absolutely spectacular -- honestly one of the best pastas I've ever had in my life. The pizza was also outstanding, perfectly made and full of flavor. The ambiance is lovely. The restaurant is on the smaller side, which makes it feel cozy and intimate, and the service was both good and efficient. We also tried a Malbec wine, and it was very good. Overall, the prices felt fair and consistent with the quality of the food and experience. Highly recommended. read more

An amazing restaurant that deserves 5*s except for the noise level. Hardly could talk to one another. Great food and service, our server, Kevin AKA Gibby was great. Very nice small wine list. Restaurants seats about 50 people. A very busy place. They are recognized by Michelin. Known for pizzas and pastas. My wife ordered the EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA , pan fried eggplant, fresh tomato sauce, basil, and fresh mozzarella, very good. I opted for the BUCATINI WITH WHITE CLAMS , house-made bucatini, white clam sauce, and toasted breadcrumbs, great. All pastas are made in house. For dessert, Gibby suggested the STRAWBERRY OLIVE OIL CAKE , vanilla bean semifreddo, mascarpone whip, and extra virgin olive oil, superb. It is a shame that the noise level is bad or otherwise we would definitely return. read more

Heritage - Olive oil cake - Pizza Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Went to Heritage in Fort Lauderdale for our anniversary and had a really great experience. The service stood out right away. our waiter was attentive, friendly, and clearly knew the menu well. We started with the calamari and stuffed squash blossoms, both beautifully presented and full of flavor. The calamari was perfectly crisp without being greasy, and the squash blossoms were light and delicate. For our mains, we tried the Brooklyn pie and the bolognese. The Brooklyn pie, topped with cupping pepperoni, was flavorful and had that perfect crispy-chewy crust you want from a good pizza. I'm a purist so if there's pepperoni on the menu, I'm getting that. The bolognese was rich, hearty, and well-balanced. It's a bit on the pricier side, specifically for pizza, but everything felt thoughtfully crafted and worth it for a night out. Overall, Heritage is a great spot for a date. read more

Heritage is a super trendy spot in Fort Lauderdale in a super foodie area. We saw it during our staycation on Fort Laudy Bch and noticed it's a Michelin Star type restaurant, but with affordable prices. Made reservations and got in. Parking is a small free lot, but there is an extra flow lot for downtown hourly rates. We were seated immediately and everything was gorgeous inside. Very instagrammable space. It is dark and moody, and it works. The whole experience felt high end and trendy. Even the servers and bartenders were handsome. The menu was delicious. Foodie twists on every dish, and house-grown microgreens placed strategically on our plates with each dish. We are foodies so this all was a perfect experience. 10 out of 10, highly recommend. Appetizer: Italian Chopped Salad - huge!!!

Met up with the girls to have lunch before our scheduled facials next door and we were in for a treat! Heritage is located in a little shopping area that offers free but limited parking. There is street parking and a lot located across the street. I recommend making a reservation since it's a small space. Staff is very friendly and patient! They checked on us several times and always replenished our waters. We ordered a mushroom pizza and kale salad to share. Both were phenomenal but I'm still thinking about the kale salad, weeks after! We also ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich after seeing another table ordered it and it was super filling! I couldn't even finish my half of the sandwich! I highly recommend this place and I'm looking forward to going back for the pasta! read more

Was lucky enough to score a Saturday night reservation here. The space is small but intimate, dimly lit and very crowded. Overall great vibe & ambiance. I def recommend making a reservation. For drinks we started with espresso martinis, which were uniquely salty & nutty but very enjoyable. For food, we went with the baked razor clams, the soppresata pizza and the mafaldine bolognese. All our dishes were truly fantastic. The baked razor clams were 10/10 no notes. All of their pastas are homemade & taste so fresh. Our mafaldine was cooked perfectly al dente. The soppresata pizza was chefs kiss. We even had some left over pizza to take home. For my second drink I did the "Pinkity drinkity" which is a must try if you like mezcal. Our server was extremely helpful and offered his suggestions which we appreciated. Superb date night spot & worth visiting. There is a reason Heritage is now Michelin recognized. read more

I was super excited to eat here after reading that they got a mention by the Michelin guide. The service was great. Kane, our server was helpful, friendly, and had an energizing personality. We ordered the squash blossoms, pepperoni pizza and the pasta Bolognese. I love stuffed squash blossoms and very rarely see them on a menu. They were tasty, however I wasn't expecting them to be so breaded and fried. The pizza was delicious, the pepperoni a little spicy, not too much. The pasta Bolognese was loaded with meat, the sauce a little on the sweet side. I was too full for dessert. The table next to us had a dessert that looked great. . read more

Super cute intimate restaurant with amazing food. Came here for bday date night with the bf. Found on yelp. Did not disappoint. We didn't have a reservation but waited about 15 mins for a bar spot. The bartenders were super nice. And nice eye candy too. I had a spritz which was yummy and my bf had an old fashioned which he said was delicious. We had SAVAGE GARDEN with chicken which was amazing. Every item was so fresh and went well together. SPICY PENNE ALLA VODKA had just the right amount of spice and the pasta was better than any pasta I've ever had. We also had the MARGHERITA pizza. So tasty even later that night. We ended with the STRAWBERRY OLIVE OIL CAKE ohemgee. Amazing. Definitely don't skip dessert. I wish I lived closer to this place bc I'd for sure be a regular. read more

This was actually my second time at Heritage. My first time was last year and I did a MARGHERITA Pizza and the KALE + FINNOCHIO SALAD which even as take out were delicious. The pizza was so fresh, I almost ate it all before getting home. Tonight my friend and I went to dine in for dinner and were seated as soon as we arrived. As soon as you walk in, someone is there greeting you to check you in if you have a reservation ( we booked through resy). Our server gave great recommendations when we asked and was very patient with our questions. Small intimate restaurant but great for any occasion! We picked - THE PINKITY DRINKITY Drink - 10/10 - loved the smokiness of the Mezcal AGRODOLCE CALAMARI - 10/10 - They use these delicious mini sweety drop peppers my friend loved, but the sauce is what I enjoyed with it. MAFALDINE BOLOGNESE - 10/10 - my entree - savored each bite and have lunch for tomorrow! Since I wanted to try dessert. RIGATONI PANCETTA PISELLI - 8/10 - Friends entree, she said she wished she got my dish that's why it's 8/10 We will definitely be back to dine in for pizzas next time. Congrats on your Michelin! read more

Heritage - Pizza Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

In short: come for the Pizza, stay for the desserts Heritage is located in Flagler village and is a small, quaint casual restaurant (aka reservations during prime time are slim pickings). The dining room decor displays all things Italian, Catholicism, the mafiosio and La Dolce Vita . Due to the recent Bib Gourmand honor from the Michelin guide, the best times available were during the lunch hour. Book in advance peeps. Food: -Squash blossom and cold pulled burrata pizza... get it! I read so many good reviews from my fellow yelpers and they were on POINT! -Gnocchi pesto is house made and divine . And it has more burrata.. you can never have enough burrata (unless you are on Lipitor then please be ginger ). Desserts: -Strawberry Olive oil cake . This is a unique dessert that almost feels like it cant pass as dessert but it does ! It was delicious and I could've eaten the entire thing. -Toasted Almond Cream cake - this was angelic... it was so light and airy. It is found on the takeout menu (which we were unaware of) but our server happily obliged to our order . Service was good and fast.. food was fresh. If I lived closer they would be my go to for pizza. Cheers to you Chef Rino Cerbone.. the experience was nice, you have done well and deserve all the accolades! read more

Always an outstanding experience when I visit this restaurant. read more

Heritage has been high on my list of places to go for some time now but it skyrocketed after the recent Bib Gourmand award. The hardest part was getting a reservation at non-awkward time of day, which having now visited I totally understand. Tucked away in a quiet plaza, the vibe inside Heritage is anything but. The atmosphere and vibes are at an all-time inside Heritage where you're overtaken by the aroma of pizza and entranced by the chefs flipping the dough in full display. I came in a group of three so we shared everything. We started off with the squash blossoms and the arancini. Both were good but did not blow me away. However, the Italian chopped salad was the star of the first portion of the night. Such a hearty and tasty salad. For the main dishes we got the allá vodka pizza and the bolognese. The meat and flavor of the bolognese was absolutely incredible. You could also tell that the pasta was fresh and likely homemade. The pizza is currently living in my head rent-free. It was so freaking good and the crust had the PERFECT flavor and crunch. I'm gonna need to go back and try every other flavor they had because wow. I don't usually order pizza at Italian restaurants but I highly recommend doing so here. Lastly, for dessert, we got the butterscotch budino and the olive oil cake. The budino was alright but the olive oil cake was decadent and the most unique cake I've had. All in all, I highly recommend seeing what the buzz is about at Heritage. I can't wait to come back! read more

Went here for lunch for girlfriend's mom's birthday. Hard to get a dinner reservation. A lot of families with young kids eating pizza. Small. The pizza was the star of the show. Very good. The standout for me was the tomato sauce. Very fresh and not too sweet. Best sauce I've had around Fort Lauderdale. Too much basil for me. I was picking it off. Pasta was also very good. The carbonara type pasta was very herby, complex, fresh. Al dente noodle. Very filling and pretty. I liked my spicy rigatoni as well. Yummy bits of pancetta with a creamy actually pretty spicy swirl. Also complex herby flavor. Service was kind of slow. When I called out to him to take our order (rude, I know) he was visibly annoyed. But we were just kind of sitting there to the point where we wondered if he'd ever come on his own. Dessert was fine. Pretty good. Good experience, good modern Italian, good vibe, but I don't think I'll be dreaming of the pasta or the pizza where I'd need a reservation months in advance. read more

I used to come here all the time. I called ahead on a busy Sunday night.....my first mistake. I opened my phone call with, "This is probably the dumbest question you've been asked all day, but is there any chance I can get a reservation for two tonight?" The guy laughed and told me they were booked, but then explicitly said, "There are a bunch of seats at the bar right now. You should have no problem if you're here soon" I double-checked to be safe, saying so if I'm there in 15 minutes, it would be a tiny wait at most? He agreed but clearly said the standard "yeah, you should be, I can't reserve anything". Fair enough, right? We were in the car when I made the phone call. We hung up and I drove to the restaurant. I live literally 11 minutes away. I was through the door no more than 11 minutes after the phone call, and suddenly it's a ONE HOUR wait. The math doesn't even work. When I tried to understand why he'd tell someone to come down so confidently just to hit them with a 60-minute delay, he didn't apologize-he got personal. He started degrading me, telling me I was "acting like a high schooler." No, sir. I'm a 40-year-old man who did his due diligence specifically to avoid wasting everyone's time. I wouldn't have cared if it was too busy and went somewhere else. Instead of owning a simple communication error, he tried to gaslight me like I was the one who misunderstood how a bar works. I wasn't expecting a red carpet...I was expecting basic honesty. An 11-minute drive shouldn't turn into a 60-minute wait and a personal insult. Plenty of better places in the area that understand basic customer service. read more
