    The exceptional customer service and charming ambiance create a delightful dining experience. The cuisine is exquisite, the pricing is fair, and the overall atmosphere is superb.

    Meatballs Parmesan over pasta.

    Celebrated my partners birthday here yesterday. This homely Italian restaurant has outdoor seating, which is nice this time of year (Winter in So. Flo). The decor is that of an old school Italian restaurant. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was good and fresh. Had the fried calamari as our appetizer. It was tasty however it was a little chewy. The calamari pieces were stuck together. Some of the breading fully cooked and others on the soft side. I think the cook was in a rush. Threw them in bunches in very hot oil. Meals come with garlic rolls and salad. I upgraded my salad to a Ceasar. It was tasty. The garlic rolls seem to be made at the restaurant. They were fantastic! For our mains we had the linguine in clam sauce and the meatball parmesan over pasta. The marinara sauce was amazing for both the meatball parm and the calamari. The linguine in clam sauce was good. The meatballs were average. For dessert we had the cheesecake and it was phenomenal! At my request, the waitress delivered it with a lit candle. An unexpected bonus was that she and the other waitstaff came out singing happy birthday! The cost was affordable. We'll be back!

    Garlic knots and chicken piccata was so very good!

    The chicken piccata was excellent. It was everything I expected chicken piccata to be. The service was very excellent also.

    Pizza is top notch, food delicious, clean, friendly staff, outdoor patio, free parking, free coffee, amazing atmosphere by the beach. Highly recommend.

    Fresh Eggplant Parmigiana fresh and homemade!

    Another great experience at Gino's Rubys by the Sea, Pompano Beach! The best Italian you will find anywhere within radius of 25 miles! Papa Gino best Chef ever creates every dish from scratch, passion goes into every dish with savoury tastes of the home style Italian meal Mama used to make! If you haven't been here you need to try it! On A1A passed Atlantic Ave right before the lighthouse! Every time we come we get a Chef Special it is so amazing each one gets better and better! Tonight 1/28/2024 Chef Mario made me a special request for a Unique Vegetarian Meal: started with Chef Gino Salad Gardiene, Roasted Roman Stuffed Artichokes (4); Lions Mane ala Shallot Sherry Glaze, seasoned with Fresh Thyme and herbs with Fresh Chive Garnish! Not only delicious but had such a great taste, flavor, and lasting effect feeling so healthy! Thanks, Gino, for letting me share the kitchen with this amazing dishes! Be back soon!

Then came the pizza! We ordered 1 regular & 1 Sicilian. Huge portions! I was really full after 1 & brought the whole other slice home. Will definitely go back. I would describe Zuccarelli's as an old school pizzeria. There were booths & tables with an area in the back for large parties. I would say the decor is basic- there was a tv on near the counter where they were making the pizza.

The Fire Roasted Shrimp Palermo had the perfect char, served over a bed of greens with a vibrant tomato topping. This dish was outstanding and would definitely order again! The Eggplant Reggiano was tasty, with melted cheese, and a basil finish that kept it balanced. Thoughtful execution across every plate and attentive service. Easy five stars.

My family and I (party of 4) went on a weeknight. During busy season, it is essential you join the waitlist through their website if you want to avoid waiting a long time at the restaurant. I joined the waitlist a little after 6pm and it was a 60-75 min wait so we were able to wait from the comfort of our home. When it got closer to 60 min, we headed for the restaurant. We checked in with the hostess and by the time we were seated, it was around 75 min from when I joined the waitlist. The place was extremely busy with every table filled and more people waiting outside to be called. We tried to be quick and concise with our order because of this. We ordered the garlic rosemary loaf and the Sicilian salad for the table as appetizers. For dinner, I shared a large The Joey D pizza with my cousin. The pizza had meatballs, ricotta, and shaved Parmesan on it. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. The only con with my visit was the service. We understand the server was busy, but it was disappointing to be ignored when we did ask for things when she visited our table (e.g. refills on water and napkins). Despite the less than stellar service, this is a great restaurant. I highly recommend it for a date night or when you want to impress guests. It is a local South Florida chain so there are more locations in the area. This one is surrounded by other shops with plenty of parking available.

The reviews were so positive that my husband and I decided to give it a try, and we are so glad we did. We just found our new pizza spot! The food was amazing. We ordered a pepperoni Sicilian pizza, six garlic rolls, and two mini cannolis. Pizza: Outstanding. I love Sicilian style, and while it is thick, the crust to topping ratio was just right. It was not too bready at all. The sauce and cheese were delicious, and each slice had four pepperoni, which was great distribution. Garlic rolls: YUM. These are perfect. My favorite thing at any Italian restaurant is garlic rolls, and these hit every mark. Soft on the inside with a slight crisp on the outside, and perfectly seasoned with parsley, garlic, butter, and Parmesan. We only ordered six to try them, and the moment I saw them I knew I should have ordered more. Cannolis: These are one of my favorite desserts. They were good, but did not wow me. That may be because the pizza and garlic rolls stole the show. I do wish they had been finished with powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, or chocolate chips. I am not sure what is most traditional, but I am used to seeing at least one of those, so it felt like something was missing. We ordered at 4:00 pm on a Friday, and the food arrived at 4:31 pm, even though we live about 18 to 20 minutes away. I was very impressed with the speed and the freshness. Everything arrived piping hot. Highly recommend!
