Best Authentic Restaurants in North Palm Beach

This was our first time to La Masseria in Palm Beach Gardens upon the recommendation of a friend. We were two couples here for a 1 pm Friday afternoon lunch. We were all delighted and very impressed with this lovely restaurant and meal. First, we pulled into their parking lot which is shared by another boutique restaurant and some commercial offices. We were lucky to find a handicapped spot We did walk around the building through the courtyard and their outside seating area to find their entrance. Upon entering we were greeted and with our friends at a lovely table clothed table. Finn , our waiter offered us drinks to start and a couple of menus to review. There was a nice bread basket with oil and capers on the table. One of the menus offered a pre fixed lunch special for $28 including soup or salad, entree and dessert. We all chose that menu. All of us had their soup de jour which was sweet pea and potato soup. It was out-of-this world - hot, flavorful and hearty served in a beautiful China dish. Next I had their *FILETTO DI SALMONE ALLA GRIGLIA (+$10) Grilled fillet of Scottish Salmon with grilled zucchini and mustard sauce on top. It was scrumptious! We each had something different and each entree was as good as the next. Three of us had the ricotta cheesecake with blueberry sauce and a blackberry. My husband said it was the best he ever had and can’t wait to go back and have it again. Our friend had an amazing chocolate cake. We traveled an hour to get here and it was sooooo worth it!

Morgan was our server and she did an outstanding job She was very attentive to our needs. Excellent server.

As usual, the food was outstanding… and has been so consistently ever since Bryca and Barry have put their imprimatur on this wonderful restaurant. It had gone through some rough periods in the past but now it is, in my opinion, at it’s very best! Brandon proved to be an efficient and knowledgeable waiter and we couldn’t have been more pleased… especially since it was my wife’s birthday! Bryce, as he has been since taking the reins here, was and is a warm, generous and attentive host in addition to being a top-notch chef. Without question Spoto’s is our favorite go-to dining spot. Keep up the greatness!

Always love Carmines and this visit was no different. The food is consistently delicious, especially the homemade pasta, the Caesar salad, and the desserts. We came for my daughter’s 30th birthday dinner and our waiter Benjamin went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and special and gave my daughter a complimentary birthday cheesecake. So thank you for making her 30th birthday special. We will definitely be back.
