Italian restaurant · Fort Lauderdale

"This intimate Oakland Park Boulevard spot has the Italian café vibe down pat. Sure, you can snag some fresh mozzarella, a bottle of wine, or other Italian staples in its expansive market by day. But dining in the market – at one of its few tables – and noshing on its melt-in-your-mouth short rib and risotto is where the fun really is." - Jesse Scott
