Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale

Chicken Parm was amazing! All the food and service was fantastic

The porterhouse steak for two was delicious. It was cooked (medium) to perfection. The Mediterranean salad and sides(French fries and creamed spinach) were also excellent. The service is always the same very professional. Eating at this restaurant is always a pleasant experience

It is a treat to dine here. Service is top notch and food is always delicious. The tomatoes that come to the table are so delicious it is hard to believe that they grow them in-house. The rest of the bread is wonderful and i took it home!!! We rather have favorites here and find it difficult to deviate, not matter how enticing the specials are. We shared the clams oreganata ..and the roasted garlic is superb. Entrees are the langostinas over angel hair in oil and garlic. I ate everything…so fabulous and not to be found in many other restaurants. Wine list is extensive as well.

For me, the occasion was to celebrate our ninth anniversary together with my significant other. Though the place was busy and filled with patrons. We only waited moments to get our reserve table at a very nice location within the restaurant. Our waiter and the staff were refined and wonderful. The food was amazing starting with the carpaccio which was the best I’ve ever had. We shared a large New York strip, accompanied by a few vegetables and even took some home to enjoy later. Overall, the restaurant was a great experience, especially for celebrating and occasion. 

Loved DeLuca’s Chophouse!!! The food was amazing! The servers incredible! So inviting. Very elegant and friendly ambiance. They made us feel right at home with full respect and professionalism. My only deep complaint is their Valet Service! The gentleman at valet was horrific. He had a horrible lazy attitude and did not open the door for me or help me out and didn’t even acknowledge me when I let him know I needed help (weak legs) and when my son and I came out of the restaurant he basically pointed out where our car was to make us get our own car!!! Horrifying!!! Thought I should make management aware. We were there at 7pm 12/16/24
