Reviews for Cafe Italia Italian Restaurant Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale, FL

So disappointed! The chicken Marsala was tasty but no pasta or any side, mushroom risotto was alittle salty with generous... portion, pasta with sauce was bland lacking flavor and eggplant parm was lackluster to say the least. I wanted to like thisplace but from the moment we walked in the chemical cleaner smell was over powering and should have been out due to go elsewhere. Would not recommend . Read more

Cafe Italia Ristorante on Federal Highway continues to be a family gem for authentic Italian cooking. The owner is always... present with a gracious smile greeting people. The food is home cooked pleasure pleasing. The menu has a good variety and theportion size is adequate. There seem to be changes over the past year which from memory would say there used to be a side orsmall salad that came with the entrée but not now as everything is a la carte. The bar is limited to wine and beer only. Myfavorite item on the menu is the lemon sorbet -- a wonderful palate finish to a good meal. Read more

So happy I found this little gem. Best authentic Italian food. I ordered online for pick up. Apparently they were having... issues with their phones so they didn?t receive my order. Chef came out the back and explained situation. I was seated whilethey made my food as I waited with complimentary wine and bread. Sweetest ladies, excellent service and food! Read more

Italian is not my first choice, but whenever I want Italian foods I would come here. This 23 years old restaurant is highly... recommended. Real mom&pop place.
