Carmela's Italian Ristorante

The Best Restaurants in Hollywood, Florida | Eater Miami

"Carmela and Fulvio Jr. Sardelli, owners of Hollywood’s favorite steak and red sauce restaurant, Sardelli’s, a romantic little establishment lit by the glow of crystal chandeliers and candles. The menu is concise and includes some of the best rigatoni alla vodka in South Florida — without the hefty price tag at trendier places. The chicken parm is worth the visit, but don’t sleep on the daily specials. Carmela’s also offers top-notch cocktails, including an old-fashioned with pistachio orgeat. Dine at the bar or opt for a table in the secret back garden." - Laine Doss
