Great food, great service with Ceaser. We were next to music so it was a little difficult to talk at the table during dinner.

Always a delicious meal. The Dolce eggplant appetizer is so good. Love the pear pasta purses with Gorgonzola cream sauce. If they have the pistachio cheesecake get it.

Last night, my wife and I indulged in a delightful dinner at Dal Contadino Trattoria in Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale. The restaurant's festive holiday décor set a cheerful ambiance, and the friendly, attentive staff ensured a pleasant dining experience. We began with the fried calamari, which was fresh and tasty, accompanied by lemon and marinara sauce. An additional sauce might have enhanced the dish, and I'm confident the accommodating staff would have provided one had we asked. My wife opted for the eggplant parmigiana—a generous portion served with angel hair pasta. I chose the Troccoli alle Vongole, featuring thick troccoli noodles paired with clams in their shells. This classic Italian dish combines pasta with clams, garlic, white wine, and parsley, creating a flavorful and aromatic experience. The presentation in the cooking pan was a charming touch, keeping the dish warm throughout the meal. However, some clams had broken shells, requiring a bit of caution while eating. With no room left for dessert, we concluded our meal thoroughly satisfied. At $50 per person, including tax, tip, and drinks, the pricing was reasonable for the quality and portions offered. Overall, it was a five-star experience, and we look forward to returning to Dal Contadino Trattoria.
