Livia Bar and Grill

I came here the first time for New Years Eve with my family. I had never heard of the place but we made last minute reservations. The restaurant is beautiful and tucked away in the Flagler Village neighborhood. They had a NYE fixed menu and I had the Branzino and my wife had the dirty Mac and cheese. The food was okay, my branzino had a bunch of flavor but just good. We got the octopus for appetizers, very tough to chew. I didn’t think the portions matched the cost. The chef definitely has talent! The service was great the even made a special butter pasta for my 9 year old. Overall decent food a little pricy for the portions/quality but I would give another shot with the normal menu.

I celebrated my birthday at Livia Bar & Grill this past Saturday for their buffet brunch, and they did an amazing job bringing entertainment to the table! 🎉 The DJ, trumpet player, and performer made the atmosphere so lively and fun, it definitely felt like a celebration. The food was great, and the energy was perfect for a birthday. My only wish is that the music inside could have been just a bit lower so it was easier to talk with everyone in my party. Overall, it was such a memorable experience and I’d definitely recommend it for special occasions!

We've been wanting to try this place since it opened - was not disappointed! It's a cool space, lots of TVs for sports with a great refined indoor space and a more industrial outside space, but many of the patrons knew each other & the staff, so it had a neighborhood bar vibe too. Happy hour was fantastic. Fey is an awesome bartender and she steered us in the right direction for menu food. Definitely will be back.

Livia Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale is a great spot with a mix of Italian favorites. We went to try their Dine Out Lauderdale menu and it was amazing. Some of our favorites were the Sunday sauce meatball, truffle potato gnocchi, raspberry sorbet, and tiramisu. The atmosphere is stylish but still relaxed, making it nice for either a date night or dinner with friends. The service is attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re in the area and want a meal that feels both fresh and comforting, Livia is definitely worth visiting. Instagram - @thesofloduo

I want to give a special thank you to the owner Anthony and the entire crew at Livia! A couple of weeks ago go, i hosted my Birthday / @Cesarslists promotion party there and everything came out great! From the music to the food and cocktails, it was a blast! Thank you for the generosity and help in throwing this event! The whole staff went out of their way to make it an enjoyable night for everyone! I highly recommend hosting your special event here or just stopping by for Ladies Night or Happy Hour! Always a good time! Follow @cesarslists on IG / Tiktok

We were there to celebrate my husband birthday. We sat for 22nins before being seen. But af5er we put in our order, everything came out fast. I put on the reservation for husband birthday. But I guess they forgot. So my son let them know, however I noticed the table near us was celebrating a birthday and half the restaurant came out to sing happy birthday. When it came to my husband only our waiter came and then minute later came the host. Seemed like they weren't interested in singing happy birthday to him but looked like they were super excited to sing for the table before us. Overall food was good.

Nice hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale. The ambiance was very calm and enjoyable. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The services was amazing and attentive. My wife had the Rigatoni Alla Voka with Meatball added. I had the Mafaldine Bolognese. Both dishes were amazing, tasty and portioned well. Would definitely recommend Livia for your Pasta cravings!

This restaurant was very good. I ordered the pistachio salmon meal And my friend ordered the rib pasta And we got a few other items off the menu. It was all delicious. Or waitress was so nice and the atmosphere was magnetic they played live tennis and the football game and the outside ambience was very nice They have parking right outside the restaurant and there’s also a parking garage

5 stars!!! From the ambiance to the food to the service. We wanted ladies night and to dress up before the year came to a close. So we chose livia based on the aesthetics and let me tell you they did not miss. They have an indoor and outdoor and we decided to sit outside. It was a group of 7 of us and there was more than enough space. Food- my friend and I shared our meals so we ordered the Caesar salad which was huge but so good! The wings were yummmmmmyyyyy - just order them! for dinner we had the rigatoni with one meatball which was delicious! The rigatoni had the perfect amount of sauce and the meatball was so juicy! Drinks- The bees knees I believe is called was a perfect blend of sweet and smoky. I truly enjoyed it. THE ESPRESSO MARTINI!!!! 10000% order it!! Overall we had an amazing time and will Be going back

We decided to finally give Livia a try. We like the decor and it had a good vibe inside. We would have sat outside but it was too cold. The young lady that served us was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. To start we had the calamari and zucchini. Overall it was very fresh and had a flaky crust. Unfortunately it was a little greasy and heavily salted. For dinner my wife had the pasta bolognese and I had the pepperoni pizza. My pizza was good not great. Lots of pepperoni and the crust was light and had good texture. Outside of the taste of pepperoni the pizza didn't have any other flavor profile. Also it was very greasy. A heavy layer of grease was sitting on top. My wife's bolognese was just OK. The portion was a nice size, but it was healthy salted and the pasta was very clumpy, starchy and stuck together. I'm not saying I wouldn't give them another try. I'm just saying I'm not running back for that second try.

This is one of those reviews that need to be split into two parts...Food and Service. The Food was 5/5. We got bites from their Happy Hour menu and the prices and the selection were excellent. We got the wings, the steak crostini and the margherita pizza. All three were really well made. Nice flavors (especially the crostini...a bit messy but delicious). We also got their draft IPA which was citrusy and smooth....very good food. The service itself was not bad, our server was prompt at bringing the food and pleasant, but the De-Merit comes because of the bill. The HH pizza rang at $18 instead of $12 and the HH beers rang at $10 each instead of $6 each...which were the posted prices on their Happy Hour menu. If any customer were to just pay and not read the itemized receipt, they would had overpaid for the "happy hour" meal. I challenged the prices and our server went back to correct them. Also, no validated parking. The garage in the building or paid street parking are the options.

Livia was recommended by the front desk of our hotel, and they did not steer us wrong. We were greeted very happily by the hostess, who then seated us at our table, where our server Phoebe, took great care of us. It was happy hour and we ordered and enjoyed the following 8 margaritas, Smoke Show Monroe, Hot Honey Wings, Pepperoni Pizza, Skirt Steak Cristini, Carlamari & Zucca Fritti. Just so you know, there were only 3 of us . A great start to our vacation!!! Everything was just delicious, and we were able to hear everyone at the table even with them having a Live DJ during their happy hour. The noise level is outstanding. I'm lot sure how they do it but I hope they keep it up.

Cool bar with nice food, good drinks, cool vibe and a great bartender Fai, she was awesome! We had a great time there.

Located in Flagler Village, this spot is quite nice. There is street parking available and depending on time of day that could be hit or miss. Went for a Saturday brunch. Love, love, love the setup... with plentiful seating options, vibrant colors inside and out. There is a sizable bar with seating that spans both outside and inside. There are options for bottomless drinks or specialty cocktails and our group went for the specialty cocktail options. Drinks were tasty and well paired with brunch menu. Our server was excellent! I'll rave about the sourdough appetizer because it was my fave food item. Crab cake was ok and also had a mushroom flatbread which was also good. Definitely worth a visit.

Hmmmm. It's cozy but I'm still underwhelmed. Have not had dinner at a table. But tried twice to have a few drinks and eat at the bar. Nobody was rude but it felt odd. I'm 50. A young 50 so I rarely feel out of place anywhere. Both times..... the first, the bartender was busy chatting with co-workers. Second.... Really didn't have to wait too long but she was busy chatting. As the son of a restaurateur and club owner I've spent a life in this industry. Some restaurants just nail the customer server exchange like Belllagambas downtown, Osteria de Aquafina and Noodles Panini. I'm usually alone and enjoying a few glasses of wine at the bar often so the interaction is important to me. If you're young and a bartender serving a single man or woman try harder. I'm not alone because I have no friends. It's simple that eating out is an occurrence 5 nights per week. I enjoy being alone. The staff sets the ambiance. I rarely go anywhere that slammed. I'm early. The staff at most restaurants have plenty of time to chit chat or check on me frequently. But far too often they're checking their phones. I am addicted to my phone like most. But I own a popular business and the phones are collected at the beginning on one's shift as it should be. Until 2005 if somebody needed to contact you they'd call you at work. If you desperately needed to speak with somebody whilst working and being paid you'd use the house phone. Why would I pay you to have an alternate diversion? So silly. If you're on the clock you just need to do your best. We've all be one so forgiving with customer service. Not me! So..... Livia. Not comfortable with a 3rd try. If I critiqued the food you'd loose a star. The whole vibe feels manufactured and genetic.

Came in for the first time and it was brunch time. The ambiance was wonderful and we loved the outdoor patio and the tv's lined side by side. They were showing 3 Sunday NFL games, which we appreciated so we opted to sit outside. Jorge was our a server and he was phenomenal, checking in on us every so often and providing guidance on the menu. He was also very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink as well. I ordered the Elizabeth Tea cocktail which packed a subtle punch and wasn't too sweet. My boyfriend ordered a Campari Spritz. For our food, we started with the meatballs which were tasty and I had the frittata, while my boyfriend had the chicken and waffles which I had a bite of. The frittata was nice and savory, the chicken and waffles were good as well but the waffle was a little too sweet for our liking. It seems it was topped with caramelized sugar which ended up being too crunchy and much too sweet but still enjoyable. 5 star service and overall experience, however it's being dinged for one star because the bathrooms were pretty gross. Two single stalls and all-gender (unisex) for the entire restaurant and could've definitely used some upkeep, especially during brunch hours, more frequently considering there are only two stalls. Definitely off-putting. Despite the state of the restrooms, we're looking forward to trying their dinner menu.

Very cool addition to the Flagler Village community. The food was really yummy. I really like the vibe of the place, especially if you get to sit inside. The bartenders and waitresses were very caring and polite plus they joked around a bit, adding to the already fun atmosphere. Overall a very cool place - we will be back.

I visited this restaurant for a date night, and the ambiance was lovely. The servers were very attentive, checking on us regularly, which made the experience even better. For the appetizer, I had the jumbo crab cake, which was absolutely delicious--10/10. However, you only get one crab cake for the price, so if you're planning to share, I'd recommend getting your own. For the main course, I had the Mafaldine Bolognese, which was solid, earning an 8/10 from me. We finished the night with the chocolate crème brûlée for dessert. It was incredibly creamy and indulgent--I'd give it an 8.5/10.

This place is amazing. Great food, drinks and music. Recommended for large parties as well as for birthday celebrations. Service was fast and efficient. Highly recommend

My friends and I came here for a ladies night dinner. I hadn't heard of this restaurant before, but I must say it did not disappoint! I started the evening with the espresso martini--easily one of the best I've ever had. I switched out the vodka for Don Julio and it was perfect! I ended up ordering 2 or 3 of them! For dinner, I ordered the crab cake, Caesar salad, and meatballs! All were so good and really filling! I also tried the rigatoni (I ended up ordering one to go), the pepperoni pizza (OMG they added hot honey sauce on it!!!) and the wings. I highly recommend these dishes!! For desert, we ordered the banana pudding, blueberry cheesecake, and tiramisu. I'm not a fan of blueberry but I can still recognize a good dish. The tiramisu was pretty good. But that banana pudding!!!!! Chef's kiss!!!!!! On top of all that, the service was fantastic--attentive but not overbearing--and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. This place is an absolute must-visit!

Guys, I had to try this place out! My friend wanted to come here & I didn't hesitate to go. The service was excellent! Pretty busy establishment regardless our waiter was super attentive to us. He described the menu with great detail and even gave us some of his favorite recommendations, which we loved. The atmosphere is really romantic yes I used the word romantic!! The interior is well decorated, well lit, just an overall amazing ambience. It's giving expensive! You have to pay by park guys! Of course nothing is free in America sadly, except for sprinkle cookies at publix! I'm yapping excessively, so let's get down to the grub & tell you what I got! What I Ordered _____________________ -Shrimp Rigatoni Alla Vodka: Rating: 7.8/10 This was pretty solid. It was extremely rich and it was prepared fresh. Literal steam coming from the plate as the server rested it in front of me. The little english peas kinda threw it all the way off for me, with the thickness of the sauce it wasn't a great pairing in my opinion and the shrimp wasn't seasoned to my liking. Collectively it was good, but not great. I also skimped out on the prosciutto, I felt like that would've added an extra level of salt factor that I didn't need, especially with a tomato based acidic dish. - Calamari Zucca Fritti: Rating: 9.7/10 Super yummy. I had more on my plate but I started picking at it right when it landed on my table. The rosemary aioli had a great balance of flavors and the marinara sauce had the perfect amount of acidity. I wish they piled this up more! I needed A LOT more of it. It was fried to perfection and the batter was seasoned beautifully. -Jumbo Lump Crab Cake: Rating: 10.3/10 This by far was the best thing I ate at this place! I promise! The caper lemon aioli with the citrus fennel salad really added a nice brightness and airiness to this compact & hearty crab cake. In fact the crab cake wasn't even hearty at all it was super light & delicate I felt like I could eat 3 of those bad boys by myself! This was super delicious and I wish there were two servings for the price of one! - Passion Fruit Margarita: Rating: 9.2/10 This was too good. You know your girl loves a tart/sweet drink! This really hit all the notes for me. It had a good consistency of alcohol to juice ratio. Definitely could've gone for a 2nd one! - Creme Brûlée: Rating: 6.4/10 Ummmmm this is a no for me! I'm not a chocolate lover at all, but I do appreciate a good creme brûlée. I also understand and appreciate chocolate for who they are. I appreciate the different types and how they contribute to many dishes that we eat. BUTTTTTTTT!!!! According to the menu this was a hazelnut creme brûlée... Idk something of that sort, but it just tasted like straight up dark chocolate. It was over powering and unbearable to eat. Maybe I'm slightly exaggerating, but honestly the different flavors of chocolate used to prepare this need to be executed better. The ratios are all wrong! It's way too sweet with bitter elements. I took two bites and was done with it. I gave it a chance but it didn't perform well. Overall Experience: 9.4/10 Customer Service: 9/10 This establishment has been Tamied ™

South Florida does it again. Flagler added this upscale Italian restaurant and it keeps up the new vibe of the neighborhood. Stylish decor make me feel the typically South Florida chic. They have an outdoor patio space that makes good uses of faux living walls to hide the background of Andrew's. The mixologist shakes and stirs great menu options and honestly we expected that flair. The food was awesome. Pasta was all delicious including the shrimp scampi, short rib papardelle and the gnocchi. We also got the tiramisu which was worth the calories. Supposedly, they do a brunch (how do stay open in Fort Lauderdale without one?!) And word on the yelp streets is that is divine as well. Looking for classy, Italian with a fancy beverage? BiNGO

We had a wonderful time celebrating my wife's birthday, yesterday. The food was amazing! Meatballs for app was old time classic deliciousness. Chicken Martini and short rib parperdelle were both phenomenal. Excellent creme brûlée and the old fashion cocktails were perfectly made. They even pumped up the music and celebrated my wife's birthday with us, even the owner came out. A very nice touch. Our server was Arianna and she was a gem and helpful with the menu, not to mention gorgeous. Overall a wonderful place for a celebration or just a quick bite at the bar. We will be back. Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful evening.

This restaurant was a recommendation from multiple people, I am very glad we ended up trying it. The drinks were excellent, I highly recommend the espresso martini it's so well made and if you like a sweet drink honey Ryder was 11/10. Strawberry mojito was also amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, the SHORT RIB PAPPARDELLE was some of the best I've ever had!!' Shrimp scampi had some of the freshest shrimp and the crab cake was sooo good but small Check Martin was super juicy. For dessert we had the carrot cake and WOW! Overall a delicious place with beautiful ambiance and decide highly recommend!

Fabulous brunch! The espresso martini was delicious it was made perfectly. Food was great and large portions. My favorite was the mushroom pizza and the chicken & waffles. Outside seating is covered so the sun is not beaming on you. Unlimited mimosa brunch offered. Great service!

This place has a super cozy vibe! We walked by and had to backtrack and step in to see how the food was. The service is phenomenal, all the waiters and waitresses and even the host are extremely accommodating. We took a seat at the bar and sadly missed HH, it ended at 7pm. But we ordered 2 glasses of wine while we waited for our food. There are TV's at the bar and there's an inside/outside vibe that works really well in FTL. We ordered the chicken a la vodka pizza, a side of marinara spaghetti, and the honey hot wings. All 3 items were super delicious! We really wanted to try the short rib pasta and this other salmon entree, but due to their busy brunch; they were all out. We can't wait to be back and try some items on their HH menu as well as their regular menu! Go check them out for a relaxing and cozy dinner vibe!!

Came here for a birthday dinner during the week and it was very lively! The service was also amazing! We asked to be moved inside because side it was a little hot and there were no issues! Great spot to go to the bar for drinks if you don't feel like having a meal. The food here was so good! And they have large portions! We shared the calamari, sourdough, and Caesar salad as appetizers! The sourdough is a must! As for the entrees the pastas are great!

Overall, Livia was great! The only reason why I didn't give it five stars was due to the limited menu on Valentine's Day. I didn't know that many of their most popular items would be removed and only a handful of dishes would be available. I had the Rigatoni alla Vodka and the flavor was great, but the pasta was a little too undercooked for my liking. Felt it needed to be cooked just a tad longer. My boyfriend had the churrasco and mentioned that it was salty. I noticed that another couple seated nearby was also a little bummed with their food, so I'm assuming the holiday rush may have been too much on the kitchen and dishes were not coming out like they typically do. I definitely would come back and maybe check out their brunch.

Wow, the ambiance of this place is incredible. It is a hidden gem, with a beautiful atmosphere and delicious bites, along with a great drink list. The outdoor patio is lovely, and the decor inside is great. They currently have happy hour at the bar area outside and inside, with $9 cocktails, $6 beer, and $10 pizza. I tried the carbonara and the gnocchi. I'm very picky with Italian food and this was very good. The carbonara is creamy and delicious, mixing in the egg, and it is perfect. The gnocchi was perfect texture in a delicious sauce, although advertised as truffle, and I didn't get much truffle flavor at all, but it was delicious. The gnocchi was $27, assuming due to truffle, which is pricey. Otherwise, the menu is comparable in prices to other spots around. It's a great new addition in the Fort Lauderdale area. It's still hidden for now, so I'd imagine when people get word of it being there, it will become very crowded and popular. For now, it has a great local vibe with a fantastic ambiance.

We went for dinner on a Tuesday and were seated immediately. They have indoor and outdoor dining. There is a bar that is part inside and out. Parking is available in the Motif apartment garage. You scan a QR code and pay on your phone. 90 minutes cost $2. They bring you warm bread and an herb olive oil for dipping. We ordered meatballs, gnocchi, and rigatoni alla vodka. Everything came out at the same time. The meatballs were lukewarm. The sauce had a wine flavor to it. The sauce wasn't my favorite. The rigatoni alla vodka was tasty. The gnocchi was our favorite. It was served with mushrooms, onions and sun dried tomatoes. The truffle flavor is very mild. Our server was excellent! She kept our waters filled and checked on us regularly. Other staff worked with her to make sure we had good service. We were in and out in less than an hour. They did a great job with the decor. Even though the service was great and the ambiance was nice, the food didn't overly wow me to want to return.

Went here with my husband and my baby. All three of us enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! We came for happy hour and got some draft beers, wings, potato wedges and broccoli! All were GREAT. Strongly recommend as a date night place and also friendly enough for a family dinner

Livia is a wonderful addition to the Flagler area! My husband and I went on a Wednesday evening for happy hour, and we were pleasantly surprised and how good the happy hour margarita pizza was! My husband also enjoyed the wings! FYI, it is ladies night on Wednesday night, so ladies drink free at the bar after 6 PM. I'd recommend getting there early because there were a few bar seats left when we arrived at 5 PM. Our server was excellent, and we never waited long for anything. We will definitely be coming here frequently!

Had 7pm reservations on a Saturday night, was late due to traffic but was able to reschedule 30 min later. As hubby parked in the garage around back, i walked to the restaurant from inside the garage, out to where its facing Andrews Avenue. The hostesses were all smiles, professional and very accommodating. One remembered my embarrassing and frantic call about traffic. Luckily it was a busy night, tables were turning quick and we were seated inside. Livia might seem tight, thats easily overlooked by flowing space, gorgeous and classy interior decor, warm lighting, and a full service bar separating the inside dining from the garden like exterior patio/ish seating area. Our server was Gaston. Water was offered. Bread was too, it didn't come out but it was fine otherwise we would asked for it. We started off with drinks, his: IPA Jai Lai, mine Old Fashioned little to no sugar. My drink was not on the menu. As I ordered a second of it, I appreciated that the bartender came to our table and asked if the first one was to my liking. I told him it was perfect!.., he explained there wasnt any sugar in it and he wanted to make sure it was ok. APPETIZER: Sunday Sauce Meatballs Meatballs herb ricotta | Parmesan | Focaccia toast REVIEW: tender, tasty and the portion is adequate for two. MAINS: Truffle Potato Gnocchi porcini | Truffle | rosemary cream | roasted tomato REVIEW: Hearty, the taste lingers a little longer after each bite. Sharable. Bronzino Aqua Pazza Mediterranean Sea Bass | Middle Neck Clams |Nduja Tomato Broth REVIEW: perfectly cooked. The broth is a plus, every bite savored. Sharable. We were stuffed. No desserts ordered due to fullness. Hubby and I split the food. We both agree the Bronzino was the best dish. Parking in the garage is free for the first hour, thereafter a fee is incurred. Perfect place for dinner dates or meet up spot with friends and enjoy the night seating outside.

Ladies drink free at the bar on Wednesdays... Enough said. The restaurant decor is spectacular. The indoor outdoor vibes works but would consider a more indoor vibe during summer. Bartenders made killer cocktails and great attention to detail. The pizza was fire I was highly impressed with the cook and the flavors. The spicy rigatoni needed a touch of salt but overall delicious flavors. Truffle gnocchi and chicken martini also were great!

Been a few times now. I originally stumbled upon this place on a walk in the neighborhood. It's a hidden gem at the bottom of the Motif building in Flagler Village. Great vibe, food, and service. The restaurant has a large bar and has both indoor and outdoor seating. It has a really chic, artsy ambiance with crystal chandeliers and murals. We sat at the indoor bar, in the most comfy barstools, and tried a couple of pizzas & cocktails. My favorite was the meatball & ricotta. It was just the perfect amount of crust, crispness, & toppings. The meatballs on the pizza were light and fluffy. Great place to have a few drinks, eats & wonderful afternoon or evening. I can't wait to go back!

Food came out quick and service was great . The place is well lit with perfect for pictures Will definitely return soon

Came here for Mother's Day and the place looked amazing. The whole feel of the place was exceptional. The service was on the same level. Very good. Our server was very pleasant and nice often came and checked up on us. Where it kind of fell off was the food. I believe it was more so on what I selected for my meal. If I had the option of the full menu instead of just the brunch menu it probably would've been better. And I'm not saying the food was bad. It was more so I would've like to have more options instead of the few that was on the brunch menu.

This is a brand new restaurant in Fort Lauderdale my girlfriend and I checked out the other night and I was very impressed. Upon arrival there is plenty of street parking available using the mobile app for parking. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the decor is super cute. After being greeted by a really nice hostess, We sat at the portion of the bar that is outdoor the great friendly service translated to our bartender who told us about their Friday happy hour (yes, on a Friday) and proceeded to make us margaritas. She also recommended a coconut salt rim if you are feeling adventurous. We ordered the arancini ball appetizer with burrita and peas, I think I could do without the peas on this one, but it was good. Not pictured is the eggplant appetizer which is also breaded with cheese and red sauce, and it was absolutely delicious, probably why I didn't even take a picture lol. I'm excited to see what happens with this place in the long term. Keep up the specials and the amazing service!

Came here for Mother's Day during Brunch hours. They were sticking to one menu that day. The ambiance was amazing, restaurant aesthetically pleasing, outside as well as inside. The service was great, and food came out at a good pace, not too long of a wait. All 3 dishes were good. rigatoni was tasty. chicken, not so much. Lacked flavor. I preferred the meatballs. The wings were juicy and not spicy at all. I wasn't complaining about that part. lol. Overall it was a cool experience. I think I would rather try their regular menu over their brunch options. Maybe next time, who knows :)

Good ambiance, bad servers don't tell u that tip it's included, tricky will be fair to know that ahead of time

Great start for this awesome location here in fat village. Great food, love their happy hour menu and amazing pizza. Very helpful GM steve, guy even gave me some sunglasses during the golden hour that glares in... it was a great Friday night with some live music!!

Super cute new Italian spot in Flagler village. Recommend for girls nights, date nights, or just a night out with friends. Came here with a gf on Thursday evening for dinner and they had live music which was great. Our server was super attentive. We ordered the chopped salad and meatballs to start-obessed with the salad-def large enough to share. The meatballs were also really good and cooked well. She and I both ordered the rigatoni vodka - delicious- loved the cripsy prosciutto that was mixed in. I will definitely be back.

Visited in a Saturday night around 7pm as a walk in and there were bo tables available without a reservation so my guest and I got 2 seats at the bar luckily. Our bartender was friendly and attentive. We had expresso martinis with tequila instead of vodka which was delicious. I noticed the expresso martini was super popular around the bar as many guests had them. I opted for the rigatoni pasta and my friend had the meatball and ricotta pizza, both were delicious. I will definitely be back!

Beautiful space with beautifully done decorations. Live music for Sunday brunch was a nice touch, however, quite loud as live music can be. Food was just okay. A bit underwhelming in taste, especially for the price. The French toast wasn't soaked long enough in the custard so after the top layer it was much like eating a regular piece of bread because it was so thick. There wasn't much flavor to the steak or eggs and no salt or pepper at the table. The potato hash was the most flavorful thing at the table, which was very quite nice.

Decided to make reservations at the last minute and they gladly accommodated it. When we arrived we were greeted by hostess and I believe the manager. He asked if it were our first time and showed us around. The waiter gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. The food came out pretty quickly and was full of flavor. The restaurant itself was beautiful. Loved the decor. Can't wait to try the brunch! Def a nice date night spot.

Good food and elevated atmosphere, but the service may need some work. Granted, we did make our way here on a Thursday evening, which is ladies' night, and I'm pregnant, so I can't keep up ;). So I've taken that into consideration. I went with my husband and we sat outside. I love the bar and the design indoors, but I think the outdoor seating is my favorite part. We brought our appetites, and our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs, but that means we got to try a large portion of the menu. We started with clams oreganata, meatballs, and calamari and rounded out the meal with rigatoni mezze alla vodka and spaghetti vangole. As far as the service goes, our waiter seemed under the influence? All our food ended up coming out at the same time, like 3 apps and 2 entrees, not ideal when you want to eat your food while it'shot and enjoy each course. Later, when I asked for extra cheese for my pasta (2 times and then my husband a 3rd), it never came. I noticed another server in his area seemed to be picking up a lot of his slack. I give them some grace as I know they're starting their venture here. I'd say my favorites were the meaballs and the rigatoni. The meatballs were juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. Speaking of sauce, the vodka sauce was perfection. I wish I could've asked for a jar to go. Oh, and the aioli that accompanied the calamari, 10/10. Overall, I'd be interested in going back to try more of the apps and maybe even brunch. They've got a great thing going there.

Our sister-in-law has been here and recommended it. So we went before theater. Located in an apartment building . We sat outside on the patio, very nice but flies. Small menu featuring appetizers, salads, pizzas, pasta and 7 entrees. They start you with warm Italian bread and a flavored olive oil. Dahlia was our server, delightful, personable and professional. We started with a LOCAL BURRATA and HEIRLOOM TOMATO Salad with Arugula ,Pickled Onion, and Pesto, very good. For mains, my wife ordered JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKE Appetizer with a Citrus Fennel Salad, Capers, and Lemon Aioli. She really enjoyed it. I opted for the PUTTANESCA DI MARE , Shrimp, Scallops, Mussels, Olives, Capers, and San Marzano Tomato, very good.

Another hidden gem in the Flagler area, walking or stumbling distance to a huge audience. My wife and friend turned me onto this and OH My! Not a bad dish yet, my wife brought me home a pizza, she walked and even the walk didn't take away from this remarkable taste. We have been here now multiple times, each time with a welcoming hostess ample bar seating and over the top attitude welcoming us for drinks and bar bites. This place is unassuming cool and happening. Looking around at just the bar bites people were enjoying looked amazing. We have never had a bad meal here and I would recommend this place to anyone! Watcha got, well I'll tell ya, this place is what ya gotta get to! Enjoy

Not a great first impression. The food was bland, and the service was terrible. A Jazz Brunch promo popped up on Yelp, and I was immediately eager to go. Brunch and a live band, why not?! Let's start with the good... The live band was excellent! The singer had a smooth, sultry, soothing voice. The instrumentals were on point! The live band was the best and the only good part. On to the bad... The rude encounter: We had reservations for 12:45p for a party of 5. However, 2 friends couldn't make it, so we advised them it was only going to be 3 of us. They sat us immediately at an outdoor table. We were able to get a good view of the live band, which was a good start. The waiter came over and took our drink orders, and walked away. A gentleman by the name of Brendan came over to pour us water. My friend decided she wanted the bottomless bellini's. However, she noticed the bellini's were premixed, so she asked Brendan if it was possible to put the juice on the side so she can mix it herself because she doesn't like an overly juiced bellini. Brendan advised that the bellini was pre-made and he could not bring the juice on the side. He advised that she would have to order a glass of Champagne if she wanted it served like that. It was pretty disappointing because her request was not unreasonable. She advised him she was a little disappointed, and he got very snappy stating in a very condescending way "sorry for your frustration", she stated she was not frustrated and he stated "good, I love that for you", "only good vibes over here". He was very rude, to say the least. Furthermore, he had an open cut on his hand that was actively bleeding, and he was serving drinks and water with blood on the back of his hand. DISGUSTING! The food: The food was pretty bland. We ordered the spaghetti carbonara, steak and eggs, and the shrimp and polenta, and hot honey wings. The carbonara needed a sharp cheese and a little more flavor. The steak also needed some flavor. The shrimp and polenta were pretty good. The hot honey wings were also pretty good. It had a smokey, sweet, and spicy flavor, served with a tangy gargonzola dip. The guava and passionfruit mojitos were very sour. It needed to be sweeter. It had very little flavor. After the long debate about the bellini the gentleman brought out the pre-made bellini and it was all juice, with a little lipstick on the glass. Ewwww Ambiance: Great esthetics. Retro wall art, large bar, indoor and outdoor seating. Parking: Street parking and parking garage nearby. They took forever to come back to close out our check. We literally had to wave the restaurant manager Steve down so we can close out the check and leave. The staff was inattentive. Overall, I would not recommend. The staff was inattentive, and the food and drinks were bland. The Jazz band is the only great thing they had going. I definitely will not be back.

What a fun hip place to be. The bar is huge and beautiful and the outdoor dining area is great too. The portions are huge, you can feed your entire group out of one main entree. Definitely come to this place hungry.

This is a cute chic spot in the flag of Village area that I would definitely recommend! I will start by saying it is kind of hard to find if you don't know where you're going, because it's not very visible from the outside, but once you park in the motif building, follow the music lol I've visited on Thursday night for a party of two and it was pretty lively and crowded. They had live music going on and TVs everywhere to enjoy sports entertainment, they also have a very big patio outdoor, which is surrounded by tall grass walls. So overall, the aesthetic is very beautiful, trendy and appealing to the eye. Onto the food, me, and my party enjoyed the brussels sprouts, chicken wings, Prosecco, and a few more drinks, with pasta, along with a red sauce, pasta pictured below. All of the food was super yummy, except the wings- they were OK, and I think flavor could have been executed better, but they're not terrible. But the brussels sprouts were amazing, and the pastas were huge and full of flavor. Our server was great and very attentive.no complaints there and I will definitely return.

The food was delicious! We really enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant and the outdoor seating was very nice. The service was really great, from the friendly hostess to the attentive server and very accommodating and nice managers. I will definitely be back!

The food was really good! The chicken Martin is huge !! So good! The salmon was great my step mom had it the only thing was the peas should have been on the side it was in most of the food. The pasta was great!! The drink were strong

Fabulous fresh & hip atmosphere in heart of downtown Ft. Luauderle. Great happy hour food & drink menu. I had the chopped salad, server was kind to inform me that it had meat, so I asked them to leave it off. The truffle pasta was decadent. Definitely will return. Nice wine list.

Did a yoga session here, then had brunch with the group. The place is beautiful and the food was good, but it is on the pricey side, even for fort Lauderdale. They do offer bottomless brunch drinks (Bellinis and mimosas). I don't recommend going with too big of a group, everything took quite a while to get. I ordered an egg for my crab cakes, I waited a bit before eating, and was halfway through my meal when it was brought over. I'll try this place again with a smaller group. There is free parking for one hour in the garage after that it's $2 an hour.

Great new spot! Ambiance: Almost reluctant to review it because want to keep this place hidden as it's a great spot to watch the games with TVs all around you but still manages to pull of a classy vibe that doesn't make you feel like it's a sports bar. The ambience, vibe and decorations were spot on. It has a lot of outdoor seating and has an open wall that gives it a cool vibe. Food: I was surprised how good the food and pizza for a menu that has a little bit of everything. Pizzas are a must have here. Came in a large group so we got Quattro Firmaggio and the Meatball pizza. Must try both! The crab cake was one of the best I've had and this is someone who isn't a seafood guy. Meatballs were good as well. Pork chop was really good, but wouldn't get it again. Tried the Chicken Scarpariello as well and liked it but wouldn't get it again. Owner was very friendly and stopped by our table and ensured everything was running smoothly. Staff was friendly as well. Will be back for sure to try the salmon and skirt steak.

Tried this place for the first time the other day and it did not disappoint! The service was extremely attentive and friendly. Food & drinks were great as well. I would definitely recommend their happy hour or ladies night on Wednesday for a good deal $. The atmosphere is modern and up beat, and there are indoor, outdoor & bar seating options. Gluten free options & other dietary restrictions are listed on the menu as well which is great.
