This was by far the worst dining experience we have ever had…read more We made a 5:30 reservation for 5 adults and 2 young children. My son and grandchildren were visiting, and we wanted to have a nice dinner with them. We were previous customers. See what follows 1. We were seated at 5:30 pm and immediately told that we had to be out by 7:00 pm 2. Joe S the server came over and told us we needed to be out at 6:50 so they can reset the table. 3. He rushed us to order which we did and kept reminding us throughout thee meal. He was very frustrated as he made a mistake on his ipad and had to cancel it out. 4. A large salad and appetizer were served. We requested plates and utensils three times. 5. The main dishes came. We asked the food runner to please remove the dirty plates from the table. He had an attitude. He removed some of the dirty plates, left about half of them, that sat on our table the entire meal. He bolted in a hurry and there was no supervision or follow up. 6. We finished our dinner at 6:30 (before the 7:00 time limit. 7. He did not want to serve us dessert. 8. My elderly Mother want a cup of tea. Joe A. said no. 9. I complained to management and he came back and said he would bring the tea but she had to drink it quickly - within 10 minutes. She wouldn't order it. 10. They brought us the check; they comped 50% of the food cost but left the tip at 18% of the full amount. No discount is worth this aggravation! What was going to be a nice family meal, completely ruined due to greed and the poor supervision at Luigi Di Roma. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell you how many times we have driven by this place over the years and never stopped in…read more We were on the hunt for a reasonable Italian restaurant located nearby., and once again, Yelp was of great help. (Rhyme somewhat intentional). Brusco's is located in a small strip plaza on Federal Highway. There's plenty of parking, and the restaurant is unassuming from the outside. When we entered, our waitress, Sue, greeted us kindly and let us choose our table. Brusco's has a sizable menu with an excellent price point. I believe most of the entrées come with your choice of salad or soup. Be sure to check out the specials menu hanging by the door as there were lots of excellent offerings. In fact, I went with one of the specials, Lemon ricotta pappardelle pasta. The pasta is made in house, and you can tell it is fresh upon the first bite. The sauce was light, and the dish was presented beautifully. My husband went with the eggplant Parmesan, and he ordered a reasonably-priced side of sausage. (A diner sitting next to us, told us that the owner and chef makes his own sausages on site..) His eggplant came with a choice of pasta. He was very pleased with his dish. The portions were quite generous, and we were able to take leftovers home for lunch the next day. Sue was very attentive and made our meal quite enjoyable. We will be happily adding Brusco's to our restaurant rotation when in the mood for Italian food.

I ordered the Tomato Cream Gnocchi and my boyfriend had the Mediterranean Combo. No exaggeration but this was the best gnocchi I've ever had. The dish changed my view on gnocchi and I'm now a converted fan. The texture was pillow soft with a bit of spring. The magic of this dish is how simple yet delicious it is. I loved a simple dish done well. The Mediterranean combo was a special of the night and it came with prawns, branzino, fried anchovies, and a salad. The combo was also just as goods. The seasoning was yet again, simple but delicious. The prawns were succulent, fish was high quality, and the fried anchovies surprised me. I loved all the proteins. I also tried the squid ink pasta and the seafood linguini. Both were good but the squid ink pasta was unique. I can't put my finger on the flavor but I liked it. Service was incredible and the chef was kind. He came out to talk to us and explained some of the dishes. The restaurant is homey and cozy. I felt like I was in Sicily. Overall, I highly recommend Savia. I can't wait to come back and try more.

When you walk in, you realize this place is a hole in the wall. They only have 5 staff working, and…read morethey came over to introduce themselves to us directly, including the chef-owner Vito. They prefaced the meal with saying service can be slow, but will be worth the wait. Boy were they right. The service was quite slow (though we never wanted for water), but every single dish we had was fantastic. My half-Sicilian mother in law said the arancini are the best arancini she's ever had, and she goes back to Italy (mainland, albeit not Sicily) semi-frequently. But the experience itself, even with slow service; was amazing. It's intimate, they don't rush you, and you can tell they love their regulars. If you want something a little less popular but has truly excellent food, please try Savia, you won't be disappointed. Every item is good.

Amante Italian Cuisine and Bob's Pizza in Deerfield Beach is a family run Italian restaurant and…read morepizza shop that has been in business since 1975. This is really two restaurants in one, separated by a walkway. The Amante side is more upscale with an elegant yet cozy dining room and sidewalk tables with a menu of Southern Italian dishes of chicken, veal and seafood dinners, and pasta while Bob's side is more casual with sandwiches, salads and pizza. Delivery and takeout customers can order from both sides. The Amante in the restaurant's name is the Amante family. Nunzio Amante was born on July 19, 1932 in Sicily, Italy. In 1964 he visited the US on vacation. Despite not knowing English he decided to move to the U.S. with his wife and three children. At first he worked jobs in construction, cleaning, and landscaping. After raising enough money he and his wife purchased a diner on A1A in Deerfield Beach launching their foray into the restaurant business. Papa Nunzio passed away in 2014 but the restaurant is still run by family, Robert & Christina Amante. There is pay parking behind the restaurant and a parking garage a few blocks away. Amante's is a long time favorite of my girlfriend and we came here on a Saturday night to celebrate her birthday. We sat at one of the sidewalk tables where we could enjoy the live music and ocean breeze. I had the chicken parmesan and my friend had the eggplant. The chicken cutlet was thin and crispy and the portions were large. They give complimentary bread but we had to request ours. With a class of house wine it was a great dinner. The restaurant is eventually going to be moved across the street next to the Whale's Rib. If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine near the beach in Deerfield, Amante Italian Restaurant is a great destination for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner.

My spouse and I visited on Monday, March 16th at 5:40 PM. We were promptly seated and informed by…read morethe hostess that there was a happy hour menu featuring half-price drinks and appetizers. The brown haired waitress with a slicked-back bun took our order. We ordered a mixed drink, a domestic beer, non-sparkling water, and the $10 mozzarella sticks. We also planned to order pasta and a pizza. Our waitress told us she would wait to put in the pizza order until the mozzarella sticks arrived, explaining that otherwise the pizza might come out before the pasta. Our drinks were delivered and shortly after a young man brought the mozzarella sticks. While we were actively eating them, the waitress never returned to check on us or take the pizza order. My spouse finished his drink about eight minutes before happy hour ended, but the waitress didn't come back until 6:02 PM. He had been jokingly watching the time in hopes of ordering one more drink before happy hour ended. He asked, somewhat playfully but genuinely hoping, if he would still receive the happy hour price since he had been waiting for her to return, but she never acknowledged the question. My spouse still proceeded to order a second mixed drink and we also placed the order for his pizza. I chose not to order another beer and stuck with the tap water. When she brought his drink after 6:05 PM, my pasta dish was already sitting in front of me and she made no acknowledgement that it had been served before we had even placed the pizza order or that our meals would now clearly be arriving at very different times. I ended up eating my pasta dish while my spouse waited for his pizza, which didn't arrive until about 15 minutes after I had finished. At no point did the waitress acknowledge or apologize for the fact that our meals were served so far apart, leaving us to eat separately. She actually came to see if I wanted Parmesan cheese after I had already finished my meal. We also noticed that every table around us had bread with oil and vinegar. This was never offered to us. When we asked about it, we were told customers need to ask for bread. It's unclear how guests are supposed to know to ask when it isn't mentioned, especially when other tables appeared to receive it. Finally, when the bill was presented on a handheld device showing a total of about $97, we requested an itemized receipt. We were told we could only see the itemized bill after payment was processed, which felt unusual and uncomfortable. After leaving the restaurant, we did some basic calculations based on the menu prices. My pasta dish was $25, my husband's pizza was $25, and the mozzarella sticks were $10, totaling $60 for food. At a minimum, the three drinks -- one Bud Light and two Captain and Cokes -- averaged out to about $13.60 during happy hour pricing. Without the ability to review an itemized receipt beforehand, it left us questioning how the total reached nearly $100, and we are still unclear what charges made up the difference. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and inattentive. While the food itself was decent, the service issues -- delayed ordering, meals arriving separately, lack of basic communication, and the billing process -- made what should have been an enjoyable dinner a frustrating experience. At nearly $100 for two people, we expected a far more attentive and transparent dining experience. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and basic service standards left us feeling overlooked and disappointed. We hope management reviews this experience and uses it as an opportunity to improve service for future guests. We would greatly appreciate a response from management to clarify the billing and address these service issues.

We decided to stay for dinner because I just didn't want to look for another place. I got the gnocchi. It was OK, the sauce wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad. My husband got the ribeye steak which comes with roasted potatoes. He asked for it medium, but they cooked it a little too much. My husband isn't the send back type, so he ate some of it. Most of the food came home with us. Not sure if it will be eaten, but it was too much leftovers to trash. Service was bare minimum. The place was nicely decorated for Valentine's Day though. I liked that . I feel bad for not having better things to say, but I am being as honest as possible. Would I be back based on this experience. No.
