    Came in here on a busy Friday and was able to grab a community table. What started off with 3 of us (and a baby) quickly turned into 6 and were quickly accommodated. Great service! I mean really really great service! I wish I would have noted her name, she definitely deserves to hear it! She was just so helpful, hands on and personable. So great. To the food, loved the rosemary garlic bread. Touch of sweet. I ordered the eggplant Parmesana, added pasta! Delicious! I tried my friends "oventini" cocktail which was very refreshing, basil forward. Our server split our checks up, without even having to ask. She gave my friend (who just had a baby) a hand and helped take out her purse from the bottom of the stroller. Above and beyond, really. Great experience for my first visit!

    Visited Sicilian Oven for a pizza date with my kid it's our favorite spot in town, and for good reason. The food is almost always spot-on and the vibe is perfect for a casual yet quality meal. This time, we ordered the calamari, rice ball, and a small cheese pizza. The calamari was cooked perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The pizza was exactly what we love about this place: fresh, cheesy, and delicious. The only slight miss this visit was the rice ball. It's usually one of our favorites flavorful and comforting but this time the rice inside was a bit hard, like it needed just a few more minutes to finish cooking. Not a deal-breaker, but noticeable compared to their usual standard. Service and atmosphere, as always, were great. Friendly staff and a welcoming environment keep us coming back. Hoping the rice ball returns to form next time we'll definitely be back!

    One of my favorite lunch/casual dinner spots in Plantation! I come here pretty much every time I visit Florida. The food is always good, the service is consistently great, and it's usually a very lively atmosphere. I love coming here to grab a pizza and a bottle of wine, catch up with friends, and just have a great time. Definitely a go-to spot for me.

    Yummy pizza spot in the Fountains plaza. It was originally a 5 stars for me the first time I ordered take out. I then went and ate in house and was pretty bummed when I ordered the wings and 4 of the 10 were burned. I know it's cooked in an oven but it was pretty disappointing and I had to send it back and wait another 20 mins for a fresh batch. I'm not a "send back food" girly but I'm also not paying $17 for burned wings they tried to hide with caramelized onions on top. The pizza was delicious, the meatballs were yummy. The waiter was nice and the manager was also confused how burned wings came to the table. Maybe they had an off night. I would come back, but I'm not getting wings. Pizza only!

    I placed an online order for pick up on a Sunday evening. When I arrived for pick up, most of the food was ready. I waited a short while and everything was then packaged up to go. While waiting, I noticed how busy the restaurant was both inside and outside. When I got home, all the food was good though I had wished that the pizza was cooked a little more. Go figure that it wasn't burnt as usual. The wings were juicy and well seasoned and the salad was the perfect size for sharing. I did think that $70 for a large pizza, 10 wings and a salad with Italian toppings but no protein was a bit expensive but it did manage to feed 4 adults.

    Chicken parm and a little side of spaghetti. Very good!!

    Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place before. The family was craving some Italian and I really love their truffle risotto, so we ordered delivery. It arrived super hot and ready to enjoy! The pasta fagioli soup is different than what I've had anywhere else in a good way! It's really hearty and delicious! The chicken Alfredo was phenomenal. Had it over the rigatoni and it was literal perfection. Truffle risotto was fabulous, as always. It's something I highly recommend. The penne alla vodka was good. It wasn't blow you away wonderful, but it wasn't bad, either. Compared to how good everything else was, it just fell a little flat. The chicken parm is also delicious. I just wish they were more generous with the pasta that you have to add on. It comes with four pieces of chicken and you have the option to put it on top of your choice of pasta which we did, but it wasn't enough pasta for even two people, so that was a bit disappointing. It was delicious nonetheless. Ultimately this place remains a solid choice for really good food in Plantation!

    I can't believe I haven't been here before! This place really might be the definition of hidden gem. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very welcoming and cheerful host who gave me the option of where I wanted to sit. Following this, our server - Mikayla arrived at our table with an amazing greeting. I cannot say enough good things about her. She was super friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable about the menu. I started with a faux rita and my friend with tonic water. You would think they were not busy because no joke- they came out in 2 minutes. For starters we went for the rosemary garlic bread & calamari. The garlic bread had actual pieces of garlic in it and the calamari was fried to perfection, the spicy sauce for the calamari really set it off. Both AMAZING! For our mains we got a pizza to share & chicken parm. My only thing about the sauce for the chicken parm is it needed a touch of salt, other than that, DELICIOUS. The pizza was great too, I would love to try it with different toppings next time. This was truly an amazing dining experience, between the super friendly staff, the promptness, food. My pictures really do no justice here, but I can see myself becoming a regular!

    Yelped this place up and it happened to be in the same plaza where I was charging my car so that was a bonus. Finished charging and headed on over. I'm not at all familiar with this area but this plaza seems pretty huge! Found parking and when I walked over, the first thing I noticed was that the place was PACKED! Good sign. Cute little tables lined the walk way outside and they were all occupied! As soon as I stepped in, I noticed it was tightly packed on the inside as well. I went to the counter near the entry and placed my order. A large Nonna and a large cheese. It took about 25 minutes and while I waited I took a quick walk over to Total to grab a few bottles of wine...THE CONVENIENCE! I took my time at Total and when I returned, my order was just being brought out. $52 later and I was headed back home to feed my family. First thing I noticed upon opening the box is the Nonna had super dark edges and not in a good way. They were downright burnt. I usually like to eat my crust but not this time. It was inedible. We were all pretty famished so we dug right in. So the Nonna...a thicker square crust, soft and cheesy but kinda bland. The dough was just dough. It had no flavor but it has a nice chew. I loved how soft it was but the only flavor came from the toppings and they were also kinda bland. I liked it, didn't love it. The cheese pizza just didn't go hard at all. I ate it out of pure necessity but I want sure if it was just me. But my family said the same, it was just plain crust, plain sauce and cheese. I really didn't think the food was great but it was certainly edible. Just not worth dreaming about. The customer service was...well the staff was busy and that's pretty much what it reflected. No eye contact... if you needed help you'd better grab someone's attention because they were not going to look your way. The pastas did look tasty but we didn't order any of that so I can't speak on it. The pizza was mid though. I'd give them another try for the pasta for sure.

    This place it super good! They have great drinks, appetizers and good food. It's easy to stop in and get some food but it always seems to be popping. They have pretty fast service tho despite how busy it can look. I would definitely recommend

    I absolutely love this place! It caters anyone and everyone. Whether you are looking for a date night, family night, or a quick hang with your best friend, this is the place to go! Every day there are deals and we definitely enjoy Thursdays! You can get any wine for half off so we decided to get the red blend. Our server was great. Not only did we get waters right away, but our drinks and food came out in good timing even though the place was packed. We got the bianco pizza to share and it was the perfect size for two and to have leftovers. It has become my new spot to hangout and catch up with my best friend.

    I have been frequenting this restaurant for many years, and it never disappoints. The food is great! My favorites are the Pollo Mateau, and the Lieutenant pizza. I've had most items though and they're all delicious. Erin always takes fantastic care of us. Wednesday night is wine night, you can't beat half off a bottle of wine midweek!! there's also a great deal on cocktails Thursday nights! It's a great spot, and I'm glad it continues to be successful in Plantation. Last June we had a huge party there and I was so impressed with the Service and Food, I highly recommend them for parties. We left full and happy!

    Sicilian Oven in Plantation Florida
    Kathy Hyatt Realtor ®.

    Sicilian Oven in Plantation offers an inviting atmosphere for lovers of authentic, wood-fired Italian cuisine. Known for its thin-crust pizza, flavorful sauces, and cozy ambiance, this neighborhood favorite consistently delivers fresh, high-quality dishes with a touch of old-world charm. Located in the "The Fountains Shopping Center" of Jacaranda Plantation in the vicinity of Peters Road and University Drive, it is a fantastic spot for family dinners, date nights, or casual gatherings. The pizza at Sicilian Oven is a standout, featuring a perfectly crisp thin crust, slightly charred from the wood-fired oven. The flavor combination of fresh ingredients, premium cheese, and tangy tomato sauce make every bite delicious. Beyond pizza, the menu offers a variety of Italian favorites. The pasta dishes, from the hearty baked ziti to their flavorful penne ala vodka, are made with care and taste like they are straight from an Italian kitchen. Their homemade meatballs and sausage are awesome. The restaurant has a warm and inviting ambiance, with a mix of modern decor and rustic Italian touches. It's casual enough for a family dinner but also offers a cozy feel for date night. The friendly and attentive staff add to the welcoming vibe, making it a pleasant place to dine. The only Con is that it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Wait times for a table can be longer during peak hours, so it is a good idea to arrive early. Parking is also somewhat limited, and you may have to walk a bit of a distance. or call ahead for takeout if you are in a rush. Overall, Sicilian Oven in Plantation is a gem of a place for anyone craving authentic Italian food.

    TRUFFLE FRIES
    Nancy L.

    This is actually one of my favorite pizza places in Davie. We always go during HH from 3-6 at the bar and order the truffle fries, slice of pizza, a plate full of mussels, some drinks. For HH, everything was less than $10 which was nice and there's always open seating. I've tried their lunch specials as well and they do have some great specials. I really enjoyed the THE CAPTAIN * Pepperoni * Sausage * Meatballs And THE BOSS * Fresh Mozzarella * Fresh Basil * Tomato Sauce With balsamic sauce on the side to drizzle on top! Prices are fair from $13+ depending on what size you get. Service is always great here. The staff is friendly and quick. I love the truffle fries! Those are addicting. Lunch specials are from 11am-3pm, lots of options to choose from. Plenty of parking around the fountain plaza.

    Kids pizza + big pizza!

    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).

I like a lot more sauce and fillings besides the cheese. The crust wasn't flakey and crispy. I wouldn't get another deep dish from them personally. But there was another couple there who was loving it ! The waitress was very attentive. The beer was cold. The French onion soup was pretty good as well! Would have liked more onions though. Curious how other items are on the menu so I may come back.

    I was excited to try this place due to the reviews, but I feel pretty let down…read more My family and I came on a Friday night, and we got there early enough that we didn't have to wait and were seated right away. Our server was pleasant, but once we had our food, he kind of disappeared. He took an especially long time when we were waiting for the check. As for the food, the best part of the meal was the bread. It was warm and delicious and our food runner/bus boy even gave us a fresh loaf to take home. My kids ordered plain pasta, which was fine ($7 each so not too bad). I had the chicken francese with pasta with marinara sauce. The francese sauce was too eggy and not nearly lemony enough. The marinara sauce was really more chunks of tomatoes than actual sauce. I will say the portion size was large. My husband ordered the salmon special with vegetables. The salmon was fine, but the veggies were hard and not at all seasoned. Overall, our experience was okay, but there are so many local Italian restaurants that I wouldn't come back to this one.

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.

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.

    Bellagamba's Fine Italian Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale was the perfect way to start our vacation…read more We drove down on a Friday night before leaving for a cruise the next morning, and this ended up being one of those meals you keep talking about long after it's over. In fact, it was probably the best food we ate all week. (Sorry, Disney Cruise Line) The restaurant itself was cozy and very intimate, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. It had that warm, welcoming feel you hope for in a great Italian restaurant, the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a bottle of wine, and settle into the evening. We started with a wonderful bottle of Pinot Grigio and the arancini, which was crispy, rich, and full of flavor. From there, the meal only got better. My wife had the pasta bolognese, and I had the lobster ravioli. Both dishes were outstanding. The bolognese was hearty and comforting, and the lobster ravioli was delicate, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For dessert, we split an order of cannoli, which was the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Everything about the experience felt warm, personal, and genuinely Italian. The food was memorable, the atmosphere was inviting, and the evening gave us exactly what we hoped for before heading out on our cruise. Bellagamba's is absolutely worth a visit. We would gladly go back the next time we are in Fort Lauderdale.

    Tucked away a block off of Las Olas you'll find Bellagamba, a small local Italian restaurant…read moreturning out some very good Italian food. 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!

    Great place to eat. Service ONCE SEATED is amazing, but the wait and way they seat needs serios…read moreimprovement. A lot of entitled customers feel they walk in wait 10 minutes no reservations and should skip people who waited 15 minutes and had earlier reservations just because they make a scene. Hostess was very uncomfortable and nervous and kept leaving her station to avoid the long wait line. Good problem to have this place is busy but they need more stability at the walk in. The service with wait staff is always amazing as well as the food. Great ambiance, clean restrooms, and great food. They have a rewards program that is very good and run gift card promotions that give you points for gift card purchases which is amazing. Make sure you call f9r reservations this place needs it.

    After my rocky first experience, it was reassuring when a manager personally reached out a few days…read moreafter the review. Not only was he very apologetic, he seemed like he actually cared about making the situation right. After inquiring a bit more about the service that night he graciously invited me back for another meal. I understand mistakes happens so it's truly about how they're taken care of after the fact. In this case, it was handled well. I decided to come for brunch this time & overall, it was a really good meal. They weren't super busy but service was good. Our appetizers, drinks & meals all came out in a timely manner. For the most part, everything was right but one of the hash brown sides came out cold (it was quickly swapped for fresh ones). My chicken & waffles were delicious. I especially liked how freshly breaded/fried the chicken was. There was a misunderstanding when it came to ordering our drinks, however. I ordered one that should've came iced but got the other coffee beverage which is served warm. When I brought it up to the waiter he was adamant that it's what I ordered & how it's served. After I questioned it once more, he stuck to that, so I kept the drink. Thankfully, it tasted really good & was poured well but it wasn't what I ordered. It was just a bit off putting that he said it was. He said he'd take the drinks off but this was after we went back & forth about it. This isn't a make or break situation for me but he was set in his ways. As a server, you need to be as adaptive as possible, even if you believe you're right. I'm super thankful to have been invited back because it was a nice meal, as I expected. I'm glad I can now tell people to try them out in good conscience. If you're looking for some delicious food, tasty drinks & good service then you should stop by. They have something for everyone & their staff does a solid job.

    1st of all, if you aren't familiar with Broward Mall, you might get lost, like I did. It's a bit…read moreconfusing- luckily- a nice woman helped me find it. Came with a group & we had to order ahead. The restaurant is very nice & we had a couple of tables in the back for large groups. We started with Caesar salad. I selected chicken Marsala that came with mashed potatoes & asparagus. I enjoyed both. For dessert we were given mini cannoli's with coffee. I was full at this point & asked for the cannoli's to go. The woman that was next to me left, so the server gave her cannoli's to me. Overall, the server & service were very attentive & the food was pretty good. I would definitely go back.

    It's been a few months since the last visit to Brio, so a lunch reservation was booked for today…read more As usual, the ambiance inside the restaurant was inviting as I took a seat at the bar. My server, Yushondria, was very pleasurable as she nicely greeted me and took my drink & food order. I wasn't surprised that I quickly finished the mango ice tea, I was quite parched from being out in the sizzling heat. My drink was immediately refilled as the shrimp & scallop risotto was placed in front of me. It looked appetizing and it was so good. The risotto was nicely cooked tona soft creamy consistency with mushrooms, shrimp, tiny scallops, and truffle oil. I was looking forward to dessert and ordered the chocolate chip bread pudding, which was really delectable. Served warm, oozing with chocolatey-chip goodness and topped with vanilla Gelato. I savored every bite until my stomach was full to capacity. I had a very enjoyable lunch at Brio. Looking forward to coming back to try another delicious dish.
