"Heritage opened as an upscale-infused Italian resturant in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Its Mafaldine Bolognese is among the most perfected, with pork, veal, and wagyu elements. Save room for a pizza or two with innovative spins like a short rib marsala topped with blue oyster mushrooms." - Jesse Scott

Where to Dine and Drink in Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village

@eater

"This Flagler Village contemporary spot came in hot in 2020 and keeps sizzling. Beyond its staples – like the sausage and broccoli rabe or Patate with whipped potatoes, ricotta, and smoked pancetta – keep an eye on its creative daily specials. These can include magic like a short rib marsala pie, likely found nowhere else." - Jesse Scott

"Flagler Village — Fort Lauderdale’s version of Wynwood — continues to blossom by the day, and Heritage is poised to be the neighborhood restaurant. Freshly baked pizzas are at its menu’s core, with concoctions topped with pistachio pesto, broccoli rabe, chili honey, and seemingly everything in between. Its mafaldine Bolognese — with house-made pasta and wagyu beef — may have you periodically straying from the pizza." - Jesse Scott

"Heritage is the sort of buzzy restaurant you just don’t see a lot in Fort Lauderdale. It’s located in MASS District (Fort Lauderdale’s arts district) and is one of the harder weekend reservations to book (so plan ahead). It has that trendy new restaurant energy—the dining room is loud, crowded, and everyone seems to be having fun. It’s a good table to book when you want dinner to feel like going out, but it’s not just a scene. The Italian food is good. They make a wonderful chopped salad with big cubes of mortadella, solid pizza, pasta, and small plates like a tasty sweet long pepper stuffed with ground wagyu. Just don’t expect to walk in without a reservation on the weekend." - Ryan Pfeffer

Heritage never disappoints when it comes to food. I’ve dined there several times, and every dish has been consistently excellent and bursting with flavor. While the service could be a bit warmer, I come for the food and it always delivers. This time, we tried the Short Rib + Prosciutto, which was absolutely magnificent, and the Alla Vodka, which lived up to the hype. Highly recommend giving it a try!

**RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED! Very chic, adorable, small Italian "pizza" place. Only 13 tables (4 tops) and 14 bar stools. It feels like we are in Miami, not Ft. Lauderdale. Music is alternative. It has a fun, lively vibe. We arrived at 1:30 and it was packed and they inquired if we had reservations. The menu is unique. The pizza is tasty. The service was attentive, friendly and neutral. Definitely not a dive bar, even though from the outside it looks like a literal garage! Note: we came once before while it was closed and couldn't find it because the garages were closed.

I give 5 stars to any restaurant where the owner takes time to respond to reviews, even from absolute clueless fools who think they know good food. I got a real good laugh reading the 1 star reviews from these clowns. Now to my review. My friend and I sampled a few items for lunch and everything was absolutely amazing. The meatballs and tomato sauce were were so delicious and among the best I have ever had. Pizza was crispy with a thin crust. The blend of cheeses and topings were clearly high quality ingredients. I could go on and on with the other dishes we tried. Artichokes, gnocchi and cake to top off the perfect meal. Owner did stop by, probably seeing some new faces and was genuinely interested in making sure we were happy. I live 3 hours away, so this place will be a treat I enjoy a few times a year. All locals that know what good food is are very fortunate to have Heritage so close by.

Definitely recommended! Will be back The menu is such that it's almost impossible to choose because everything looks so good! Cocktails are craft style and incredible. I had the jungle rum drink. Delicious isn't the word, it's so much better. I drank 2 Meatballs were delicious, it could be a meal unto itself. Spicy penne pasta vodka was so spicy but also delicious. Pizza Sopressata was next level so so so good. I can't describe it other than to say it's amazing.

Came here for dinner on my one night in town, walked in and got a seat at the bar immediately. Had kale salad, penne vodka, squash blossom pizza, olive oil cake. Everything was flawless! Also had a good cocktail and glass of wine. Definitely check this place out! Vibe in the restaurant is cozy and buzzing, everyone at the bar was having a great time.

Heritage never disappoints. Been coming here for years and it only gets better with each visit. Rino is passionate about his food and his guests. Will literally remember everyone by name and always stop by to say hello. The eggplant parm is by far my favorite dish but not matter what you order, you will surely be delighted. Kaine was our server this evening and made sure our experience was nothing short of amazing. Best server we’ve had thus far! Thank you for always making us leave with a full stomach and big smile!

PS I love the fact that the owner left a super unprofessional response to my review. What I wrote wasn’t even mean but they just seem nasty about it :) Their whole shtick is that they don’t gaf but it seems he really does if you leave a review that’s a tiny bit critical! Overrated and wouldn’t go back 😫! I know they just got the Michelin honor but I would not go back unfortunately. Everything was pretty mediocre. I love the space but with it being so intimate, it’s hard to hear your date over so many larger groups talking so loud. I also think the pasta was alright and not the best I’ve had in Fort Lauderdale. The vodka penne was a bit under spiced for my liking and was not really spicy enough to be called spicy vodka penne. The rigatoni was meh and a bit under-seasoned. The calamari needs a lemon wedge because that sauce is a bit too sweet. The Italian chopped salad is alright. The dessert was pretty good but having to wait until the last course for something great is a bummer. Espresso martini is also great and probably trumps the other cocktails with that salted foam (or whatever it is—that’s great no matter what it was). Pretty disappointed since it was definitely not a cheap meal to be so let down about. Restaurants reply: “Honestly... watching you eat was the real bummer. Ufff we thank all of heaven you won't be back. Very fortunate for us. Heritage Guest Rating: ⭐️for smacking your lips so hard the music couldn't even drown it out.”

My only regret is not taking a solo picture of the espresso martini that hands down was the best I’ve ever had. We sat at the bar and the service and food were impeccable. Portions were rather large, perfectly seasoned and again…did I mention the espresso martini that has a hint of salt? We also had the meatball pizza but phone did not eat first on that one. ;)
