Best Italian Restaurants in River Oaks

Not only was this restaurant, classy, elegant, the food was outstanding!! We traveled an hour away to enjoy the experience, and it was absolutely worth it! The work staff was very warming and welcoming. The food was out of this world!!! They are very generous with their portions! I had the lobster ravioli with chunks of lobster around it extremely delicious. If you love clams, I suggest the Vongole Rogeanata it was extremely tasty and to top it off dip your bread in it… Delicious!! We also had the mozzarella en carrozza, outstanding!!! We ended the night enjoying the beautiful outside bar having a few cocktails. I didn’t want to leave. Cheers!!

This is still one of our favorite places in Ft. Lauderdale. Food is always delicious, service is great and the lively atmosphere make it for a great outing. If you are in the area, this is a great place to stop by for a bite and drink. Cheers!

During our last dining experience here in June 2024, we were very disappointed since unfortunately we had a food preparation problem. I called the next day to discuss it with the manager, she apologized and asked us to please dine with them again, since the problem would be addressed. We did give them another try last night, and we are glad we did!! Our appetizers, entrees, beverages were all delicious, creatively prepared with great presentation and professionally served. A terrific restaurant learns and improves from mistakes, and we appreciate their professionalism and find them to continue being innovative and special.

We had dinner at Timpano and it was outstanding. Food was great as always. Our server Madison was outstanding, very attentive, very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. Additionally the entire staff worked great as a team. Everyone including managers made sure every guest was taken care of and tables were paid attention too. Overall great experience.

Impressed!!! Busy restaurant that delivers great food and service. It was busy holiday night ( we were told one of their busiest nights of the year) and you saw perfect execution from the complimentary valet, to the women who greeted/seated us. Waiter and bussers were dancing throughout the restaurant with purpose and ease. Our waiter, Hector knows his menu and was attentive, personable and cheerful. ( I was impressed with other waitstaff nearby. ) An expertly trained team. The food was sublime. Every ingredient balanced with nuance.We tarted with rock shrimp appetizer and the Cacio & pepe with lobster — so delicious. We ordered the specials- stuffed pork chop and I had osso buco. I had to have the Italian ricotta cheesecake with mascarpone. Our compliments to the chef.Outstanding!!!!! It is worth repeating that even on their busiest night , every detail from service to food was perfectly executed, We will be back!!!!
