The Etna Rosso Ristorante

The Etna Rosso Ristorante delivers the kind of experience you hope for when you walk into a true Sicilian neighborhood gem: genuine hospitality, impeccable pacing, and food that tastes like it was made with pride—not shortcuts. From the moment we arrived, Luca set the tone. As owner, he’s warm, attentive, and effortlessly friendly, creating that rare feeling that you’re not just being served—you’re being welcomed into a Sicilian dining experience. His presence elevates the room without hovering, and it’s clear he leads a team that cares about details. We started with the Prosciutto, Burrata, and Sun-Dried Pachino Tomatoes over mixed greens, and it was a perfect opening statement: silky prosciutto crudo, luxuriously fresh burrata, and sweet, concentrated tomatoes that brought brightness and balance—classic ingredient-driven simplicity executed the way you hope at a quality Sicilian restaurant. For my main, the Tagliolini allo Scoglio was superb—homemade tagliolini with mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari in a tomato sauce layered with garlic, parsley, a splash of white wine, and excellent extra-virgin olive oil. The seafood was cooked with precision—tender, never rubbery—and the sauce struck that ideal coastal harmony you associate with great Sicilian cooking: savory, aromatic, and clean, letting the ocean flavors shine rather than burying them. My wife chose the Swordfish special, paired with black squid ink linguine, cherry tomatoes, and olives—a dish that felt both elegant and unmistakably Sicilian in spirit. The swordfish was beautifully prepared, and the pasta carried that subtle briny depth squid ink does so well, with the tomatoes and olives adding snap and Mediterranean richness. To round it out, I enjoyed a glass of Nero d’Avola, a classic Sicilian red and an ideal match—dark-fruited, structured, and perfectly in step with the seafood and tomato-driven flavors. What truly ties it all together is the service: polished, friendly, and well-timed. Everything arrived with the right spacing, requests were handled seamlessly, and the staff clearly takes pride in delivering a top-tier Sicilian dining experience. Bottom line: The Etna Rosso Ristorante is the real deal—superb Sicilian cuisine, fantastic service, and an owner who makes you feel like family. We’ll absolutely be back, and I’d recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for authentic Sicilian food done at a high level.

Everything about this restaurant was delightful. Food was delicious, Luca’s customer service was stellar, and the ambiance was very calming and cozy. I’m looking forward to coming back soon. Highly recommend to anyone planning to dine in the area and wanting to try authentic Italian cuisine.

The Etna Rosso - this is truly one of the most special places my husband and I have ever been. The atmosphere is beautiful and authentic, the service is so welcoming and fantastic, and the food - wow - the absolute best!!!!! I’m Italian and tend to be a tough critic, and this is the best. I feel transported!!! I wish we lived on the East coast, but luckily we’re on the west coast less than 2 hours away and this is the only place I want to have dinner when we come to town. What a gem, we are fortunate to have this incredible Italian restaurant in FL!!!

Unfortunately a sub-par experience for a first time visit. Service - The staff were all extremely nice and polite. However, our entrees came out while our table was still full of salad and bread plates so they disappeared back into the kitchen until the table was cleared. At the end of the meal I ordered an espresso and a port...the port came, the espresso did not. I just let it go. Food - The Annalisa salad was delicious. My bucatini was OK but not elevated in my opinion as the price would indicate. My wife's pesto pasta unfortunately had to be sent back and replaced because it was only lukewarm which I confirmed. A canolli for dessert was fine but again nothing special. Pace - We were basically in and out within 50-55 minutes which felt very quick. I'll mention though that they did not push us out but it just seemed to be normal since many tables left about the same time we did. Other - We overheard comments from the two tables next to us that seemed to reinforce our experience. We spoke with one couple and they had been there many times and felt it was an off night. Those nights happen so we intend to give it another chance and will hopefully have a better experience. I seldom judge a restaurant that is so highly thought of on a single visit and I don't intend to start now. However, in a town that has so many solid Italian restaurants, it may take me a while to circle back.

Etna Rosso quickly became one of my very favorite restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale. When we told the owner how much we enjoyed the experience, he responded, "I can only take 50% of the credit. I'm glad you liked our food, but the people we share it with is what makes the whole experience. Thank you for coming tonight." I was blown away by that response. They treat their food and their customers with great care and attention as a result of this philosophy. The gnocchi is quite simply the best I have ever had. It retains the fluffy potato texture without being rubbery or chewy, and the depth of flavors were perfect. All the homemade pastas were impeccably made with great mouth feel to perfect doneness. We had tagliatelle, rigatoni, spaghetti... all made to perfection. The sauces were all deep in traditional Italian flavor and felt both high-end cuisine and straight from a wonderful italian grandma at the same time. The atmosphere is great because it is small and family oriented. It gets a little loud from people enjoying great food, wine, and desserts in a smaller venue. Get reservations!!! Plenty of parking but a bit of a hidden gem. Make sure to follow your GPS to the lot in the front. This is an instant hit and a new regular spot on our vacations here.

“Familia” is what Italians feel at home and that it what Luca, the owner of The Etna Rosso Italian restaurant in Fort Lauderdale created for us as soon as we entered his restaurant. His Warm greeting choosing our seating and making us feel truly at home, felt sincere.The setting is charming and cozy indoors or out. The service is impeccable and the food and presentation is impressive and delicious. We enjoyed an appetizer, beautifully done, salad, and shared a pasta entrée along with a nice glass of his recommended wine and felt at ease and at home - what more can you ask for a beautiful night in Fort Lauderdale? Grazie!

Authentic Italian food! The service was exceptional and the atmosphere perfect! Reminded me of an upscale family restaurant in the middle of an Italian town serving the local population. We had 4 different meals, each demonstrating the creativity of the chef. A homemade pasta bolognese, lobster ravioli, chicken saltimbocca, and scallops with a mushroom risotto… all delicious! Followed up our main menu with espresso and a celebratory ricotta cheesecake. We plan to visit again!

This is our go to for Italian. Incredible food, outstanding service, The fresh pastas with a variety of flavor rich sauces accompanied by perfectly paired wines, the Etna Rosso Ristorante never disappoints. Luca and his staff are exceptional, you are treated like long lost family and VIPs. They always have fabulous specials and there is something for every taste. They hosted us for a special event of over 25 people and everyone was served the dishes of their choice to perfection. Whether a romantic evening for two, a small party of four, or a large private party, Luca and team deliver.

Service...Excellent Atmosphere...Cozy & Nice Food...Lacking flavor & Cold Disappointing

Experience a taste of Sicily in the heart of Fort Lauderdale at this charming and sophisticated restaurant. With impeccable service and outstanding quality, it offers an inviting ambiance with white tablecloths that make you feel at ease, even in casual attire. Our waiter was exceptionally knowledgeable about both the wines and the menu. My wife and I, not very hungry, decided to share the calamari appetizer and the seafood pasta special. Upon the waiter's recommendation, we paired our meal with a delightful Sicilian white wine. The appetizer featured three large, fresh grilled calamari on a bed of greens, drizzled with exquisite Sicilian olive oil--tender and succulent. The main course was a seafood lover's dream: shrimp, clams, and mussels perfectly complemented by homemade pasta. The flavors were impeccable. We concluded our meal with a delectable limoncello mascarpone cake. Although the bill came to $150, the exceptional dining experience was worth every penny in today's economy. Ideal for a date or any occasion you wish to impress, we will certainly be returning.

Came here for dinner before heading out to our cruise. It's the perfect quaint spot for authentic Italian cuisine. Be sure to call ahead to book reservations. Freshly baked sliced bread with high-quality Sicilian extra virgin olive oil came shortly after we seated. This oil was so good. We ordered Eggplant Polpette apps which were 3 large eggplant & cheese balls, topped with tomato sauce and Parmesan ($21) For mains we had their Beef Ragu ($28) with Rigatoni, Norma Bucatini ($25) with eggplant, and Clam Linguine ($27) with White Wine and a kick of heat (as requested). All were fantastic dishes. The Beef Ragu was braised with red wine and a hint of rosemary. The rigatoni was cooked perfectly as al dente. Clam Linguine was well prepared. Fresh clams were cleaned (no sandy grit) cooked with a good white wine sauce and garlic. It was delicious! We swapped out the Rigatoni for the fun tube like Bucatini pasta in their Norma dish which had eggplant, tomatoes, fresh basil, ricotta salata cheese. ($25) All pastas were homemade and were cooked to perfection. We can see why they're highly recommend and will definitely come back next time we're in the area.

Finest kind! Fabulous food, friendly atmosphere, cozy ambiance with great service. Highly recommended.

Small restaurant with very attentive owner and staff. We got an early reservation because we had a very early flight the next day. Served delicious bread to start with a delicious olive oil recommended by the owner. The dishes are prepared fresh to order. I had a delicious puttanesca, and my wife had the seafood special. If you would like a special Italian meal, we recommend a visit to The Etna Rosso.

I am Italian and I'm always looking for the best Italian restaurants. In my opinion, finding the little places are the best. Well, The Etna Rosso did not disappoint! I've run, biked, and driven by here more times than I can count, but my Yelp community caught my attention here! The outside doesn't necessarily sell what's inside. So don't stop there... go in my friends! The inside is small, quaint, clean, with a touch of elegance. White table cloths and servers dressed in black. I honestly couldn't quite tell who was the manager, host, server. They all worked together, ensuring everyone was well cared for in this 12-15 table restaurant. The immediate impression I got was Italy. I was there almost a year ago and I was taken back. Oh and the main event - the food, did its home country proud! They offer freshly made pasta with your choice of sauces and protein, along with a daily specials menu. We had an appetizer of burrata, sun dried tomatoes, and prosciutto. Divine! Then a pasta dish with sausage, off of the main menu and a chicken dish from the specials menu. Truly, delicious. The pasta was al dante and the chicken dish was beautiful and moist and amazing. We paired our dinners with a glass of house Pinot noir and moscato, very good. We finished off with affogato and cappuccinos. The affogato was the perfect blend of bitter to sweet with the espresso and ice cream. The cappuccino was oh so smooth! The foam at the top was done so well. We left feeling full but not bloated. The experience was wonderful. I would suggest not wearing jeans and sneakers here. Maybe slacks or a casual dress. If I had any kind of complaint, it was that they were out of tiramisu. My most favorite dessert. But just another reason to go back! Take someone you want to spoil, the slightly higher ticket is well worth it.

Evidently, Etna Rosso has been open for seven years, but somehow I never heard of it until I found it on Yelp. There are not many tables inside, so I strongly suggest that you make a reservation, especially when in season. The restaurant is intimate and has nice linen cover tables. This is a great restaurant for a romantic date. My husband and I enjoyed the Caprese salad and bread that was brought to the table. I had the mussels with linguine, and it was cooked to perfection. Having that dish made me wish that they had Suppa di Cozze like I've had in Sicily, because I know they would do it justice! (I'm hoping they read their yelp reviews and take this as a strong suggestion!) My husband really enjoyed his fra diavolo pasta. I had a taste of the sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was very attentive, and I believe it was the owner who visited every table to thank people for coming in. Now that this gem of a restaurant is known to us, we will definitely be back!

Excellent service and authentic Sicilian prepared sauce and homemade pastas. Make a reservation , place is cozy.

Awesome "little" find on the Galt, and I mean little, cozy, quiet. We ate here early, just before flying out. Fresh pasta with classic sauces to choose from, along with specials and other classic Italian dishes. Food is made to order, with wonderful fresh flavors, the four of us from NY had no complaints. The owner, Luca, is present and working the floor for a great experience. A must go!!

This place was amazing! Their homemade pasta is to die for. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and that made it even better. Best hole in wall Italian we have had in a while!

Food was excellent!!!!! they make their own pasta and the sauces were just like Italy. The service was amazing and the vibe was intimate inside. Highly recommend

This place is VERY accommodating to vegans. Luca the owner is awesome! The food is authentic and delicious and the wine is even better. I can see now why they have such high ratings ! Came back a second time with a baby and my mom! We also love it here ! Super authentic , pasta is fresh and delicious and the costumer service is impeccable. We love it here !

Fantastic, authentic Italian food! Pasta was homemade, and apps were out of this world! Will definitely be going back.

Hands down the best pasta I've had since living in Fort Lauderdale. We drove past this spot about a month ago, and looked it up here on Yelp. It had a 5 star rating which is crazy! So we put it on our list to try. We finally made a reservation for 7:30pm today (Friday) and it was a great decision to do so. We were greeted & seated immediately after walking in. Bread and drinks made it to our table incredibly quick. We ordered the bruschetta to start (really good!) but the star of the show was the pasta. My boyfriend got the gnocchi bolognese, and I got the bucatini with Gorgonzola walnut sauce. Both were out of this world!! Fresh, homemade pasta and sauce. During dinner Luca, the owner, stopped by our table to see how our dinner was. Of course we only had great things to say! My boyfriend had a few questions on the wine menu, and he took the time to explain & let him taste a few of the wines. Service and food quality here are top tier. It was our first time, but certainly will not be our last.

We came to Ft. Lauderdale for a long weekend all the way from Connecticut. We decided on etna Rosso on a whim. The entire experience was one of the best I ever had at a restaurant. We felt familiar in there, it was warm and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We went off recommendations from Luca and the dishes did not disappoint. The grilled eggplant app was delicious with the right amount of spice, rigatoni with Ragu was out of this world. All the homemade pasta was al dente and we shared it family style. The espresso, canolli and cheesecake were perfection. Fresh food and great company. And very reasonably priced especially for the quality of food and area in general. The owner spoke to us about growing up in Sicily, and how he brings the things he loved about his country to Florida. We had a great time connecting over delicious food. Highly recommend

For a small restaurant it was quite a surprise. The food was real Italian. We spend a lot of time in Italy and I felt like I was there again in a small neighborhood restaurant. The black and white decor was pleasant. The staff was personable. I had the ragu bucatini pasta. It was amazingly good. Fresh pasta, good sauce! The Pinot noir wine from Sicily was smooth with a great pour! And they did. Great job on their choice of bread and butter on the table...soooo good and fresh.

Hidden Italian Gem. Don't be fooled my the location or store front to this restaraunt ! Wow, what a great surprise when we went to Etna Rosso last night. Service was over the top. The food brought back memories of traditional Italian dishes from my childhood. The care they take, and the ingredients they use shows in the whole dining experience. I have had a fair amount of. Caponata in my day, and this was the best I have ever had. The Ragu' was over the top good. Changed our reservations at another restaraunt the next day to take my brother and sister in law there for their first meal at Etna Rosa :-)

Absolutely highly recommend!!! Exceptional dining experience from beginning to end. The Etna Rosso is my husband's top choice for italian (sicilian) restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. We've been here a few times and last night introduced a couple of our friends to Luca (owner). The Etna Rosso Ristorante, (formerly known as "The Bake Bar," 2016/2019) offers high-quality Italian cuisine for dinner starting at 5pm. The restaurant serves a wide range of homemade pastas and daily specials, including seafood, chicken, veal, lamb, pork, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian dishes. Resys can be made through their website. There was plenty of parking when we arrived in time for our 6 pm resy. Luca was very friendly and welcoming as always, as was the male server helping him out. We ordered a bottle of Collina chianti for the table which everyone enjoyed (including me). I am not really into red wines but this was one I truly enjoyed. Complimentary bread and butter was good. We started with the Sicilian Caponata to share, which was gorgeous & delicious. One of our friends said she will order this for herself next time. For my main dish, I saw a picture of a lovely dish Paccheri & Shrimp posted by the business owner 10 months ago. I asked Luca if this was something they can make for me and he said yes, he can make something very close to it. Well, this dish and that pink sauce with Nduja is now perched at the very top of my list for the best pasta dish I've ever had!!! It was uber delicious! That lovely sauce with porcini mushrooms and nduja was out of this world. It was perfection! Two of us ordered this dish with slight variation on the spice level. Sooo gooooood! We were all full and didn't have any room for dessert but my husband ordered a Cannoli to share and it was fabulous. Go check out The Etna Rosso next time you're in the area. I guarantee you will have a lovely experience. Thank you Luca! See you in the fall.

We ate here last year and thought it was so good! We will go again this year and look forward to it.

Great dining experience. Staff is extremely attentive and eager to please. Dinner was delicious. We were a party of 4 and each of us ordered a different meal - we all raved how great it was. Can't wait to go again! Parking was not an issue but I'm sure that changes on any given night and depends on the season. Did I say we'd be back - we absolutely will!!

I had high expectations because it has 4.8 stars (as of now) which is amazing in my Yelp scale. I try to go to places with 4.6 and above ratings. Last time we went to a 4.8 rated place (Larb Thai-Isan), we were amazed how delicious everything was and since then we went (30 miles each way) to Larb four more times. Now, Etna Rosso. Was it good? Yes it was good but nothing special. I mean I am pretty sure it's not Olive Garden (never been) but do I think this place deserves 4.8 rating? I don't think so. The service is decent but I really don't care about the service. Atmosphere is nice but that isn't important for me either. I value only food and I wasn't that impressed. Yes, I have eaten in Italy so I am not someone who makes this judgement with no Italian food experience. This place is MAX 4-star for me and I wish I could do 3.5 stars but can't technically so I will have to give 3 stars. If I am in the area and crave Italian food, I will go but otherwise, I am not making the extra mile to eat here.

I've had this place bookmarked forever, and I'm so glad we finally enjoyed dinner here. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to squeeze us in on a busy Friday night, which I appreciate. All of the pasta is homemade, and I love being able to choose a pasta to pair with a sauce. My husband went with the Rigatoni Bolognese, and I had the Tagliatelle Amatriciana, which I thought was better than the Bolognese. The service was great, and they have a nice wine list. There were lots of other specials I wanted to try, so I will definitely be back!

Well, it's disappointing to have to downgrade my review. After our excellent experience a couple of weeks ago, we raved to our friends and took them with us last night. Venue, ambiance and service was still excellent, but the food was no where near as good as our first experience, mussels were very small compared to last time, salad was fresh but no taste, just a dash of salt and oil, the seafood pasta special (supposedly include some Nduja sauce) was tasteless and served almost cold! Branzino special was cooked okay but lack seasonings. My friend had the Veal Ravioli and said it was good, and the Tiramisu was excellent. Overall, very disappointed for their inconsistency.

This place is PERFECT! The food, the wine, the bread, the dessert, the waitstaff, and the owner! Extremely good Italian food. The flourless chocolate cake was to die for. If you can't go to Italy, go here!

Secured a last minute reservation for this gem on a busy Saturday night and I'm so glad we did! This was the best meal we had in Ft. Lauderdale by far, and some of the best of Italian I've ever had. Pasta and sauces are clearly fresh made and divine! I had the bucatini and amatriciana sauce (amazing!) and my son had the linguine with clams and mussels in a red sauce (not spicy) - we both ate every. Single. Bite. We opted to enjoy a dessert as well, and the tiramisu did not disappoint. If you're in the area, your money will be well spent here. It's a small place so make a reservation and please be kind to the staff! They are some good hard working, kind folks running this place and they did a great job even if it was a bit slow; it was WELL worth the wait!!

Fantastic food and fantastic service. A tru gem and love the amazing detail to the Italian tradition.. The owner made my party feel like family.. Highly recommend..

Great ambiance, good service, and tasty food. My husband is Sicilian and he loved it.

My family and I went here to dine and it was most pleasurable! The food was out of this world, and it was rustic, and a great experience. Highly Recomended!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a good restaurant, food is ok , overpriced, slow service. Dishes were blah. Ambiance is good

This restaurant never disappoints . We had the best bronzino I have ever eaten .Perfect . The owner visits periodically to enquire how things are going .go there you will not be disappointed

Spectacular food and service. Highly recommend! I had a the home made Ragu pasta and it was delicious. Cute atmosphere.

Visiting Fort Lauderdale, I made reservations here. I have to be gluten free but my companions do not. They had options for all of us. I got the gluten free pasta with Amariciana sauce and a meatball. The food was fresh and delicious! To drink sparkling water and an amazing red wine called Super Toscan. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was cozy and made you feel as if you actually were in Sicily. When I return to Fort Lauderdale, I will dine here again. Bellísimo!

Pure Italian deliciousness!!!! But you better make reservations they are small restaurant and very busy. I will go back when in Fort Lauderdale

Most people search for seafood naturally when they are at the beach, I like to find a good bowl of pasta after a long day on the beach and this led me to Etna Rosso. This tiny restaurant was tucked into a small shopping center off of a busy road in Lauderdale by the Sea. We were immediately greeted and brought to a cozy table in the dining room. We started our meal with a caprese salad for 2. The salad had beautiful crisp, lemony basil, paired with fresh, mozzarella, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It had a refreshing effect in the heat of the day. My husband had the chicken florentine and I ordered the spaghetti bolognese with a meatball. The menu boasted of fresh made pasta and they did not disappoint! The pasta was tender, perfectly al dente. The bolognese was thick, full of tender veal and pork, beautifully spiced. The chicken Florentine had tender chicken, spinach, more of the beautifully made pasta topped off with a cream sauce. We finished our meal with a flourless chocolate torte. The torte was thick, rich and moist. It was a perfect crescendo to a delicious meal!

Have been wanting to eat here for several months and finally had the chance. Restaurant is tiny and reminded more like an Italian restaurant to serve the Galt Ocean population. Service was spotty -took over 10 minutes for server to acknowledge us and it was quite frankly frustrating as other tables were dealt with. However with that said when they got to us they tried to please - as they said they would try to prepare to our expectations. Menu is quite limiting. In any event we started with an eggplant dish with red sauce which was excellent, tortellini en brodo which was just ok (kind of reminded me of the old Montreal days with Lipton's Cowboy soup but I'm dating myself from the 1970's) and Mozzarella Caprese which was unimpressive. We followed up with tagliatelli bolognese, pappardella with braised veal and gnocchi with pink sauce which all of us uniformely said lacked flavor. Had a ricotta cheesecake (we love ricotta cheesecake) that was just ok and overly dry. No need to try this place again but still - support local small business owned restaurants regardless of our mediocre review please!

I came here with my family (8 of us). The restaurant is small but the owner accommodated our large party since we made a reservation weeks in advance. The owner and server made our experience so special. He made wine and dinner recommendations and ensured we were comfortable throughout our reservation. The restaurant also has a lot of gluten free options! My family member said the bolognese was the best he's ever had. Very authentic and wonderful food and service.

An authentic Italian restaurant tucked away in a cute little area. Service was amazing, very welcoming and our server was able to answer all of our questions. Food was FANTASTIC. I recommend starting with the bruschetta it was to die for I got the Bolognese for my main dish and it was incredible. Our server also recommended a great wine when we described what we were looking for. I need to find that wine it was delicious!

It's all about the sauce! Quaint little place with a family owned charm to it, because that's what it is. Excellent Sicilian cooking, homemade pasta absolutely on point. Enjoyed the Burrata and Prosciutto as well as some Penne Amatriciana to which I added some meatballs which were very good. Make sure to save room for dessert. I will definitely return here, the only complaint that I have is the chairs in the dining room are really uncomfortable.

Awesome food. Great ambience. Awesome service by the owner himself. He takes great care of everything

Absolutely fabulous experience we had at this lovely restaurant last night. This was the first time for all 4 of us. The atmosphere is intimate and authentic Italian with a homey Family feel. The owner/operator is very attentive and passionate about getting everything right. The wine list has a very good selection with price points for everyone. I have not seen some of these items in a menu before. So we had to go for them! Eggplant balls for appetizer!! Seriously yummy. I could had that for my meal. I hope to get these again on my return. Two of us had the most amazing ravioli stuffed lamb & pistachios. To die for! I had a fantastic veal saltimbocca . I was surprised at how thick the prosciutto was. But it turned out to be perfect. The 4th meal was a homemade spaghetti with red shrimp. The homemade seafood stock really made it special. We shall definitely return to explore the menu some more!

Amazing, made fresh to order food. Gnocchi dinner was delicious! One note is that the restaurant only serves one type of beer and a variety of wine.

Let's start with ambiance, quaint, romantic and just a very nice place. Lucca and his team make sure you are well taken care of. From the minute you open the door the excellent service begins. A warm greeting and let's get you seated. Water within minutes and drinks to follow. Nice selection of wine and their Italian Pinot Noir is excellent. The Chicken Piccata is so delicious you just want more. The Caprese salad is amazing with these wonderful herbs and the greens so yummy. The pasta is made fresh and you can tell. We are risotto lovers and their risotto did not disappoint. I had the risotto with burrata and shrimp. "Amazing flavors" the rice was creamy but didn't taste like fish. The shrimp cooked just right with a beautiful texture. Then dessert...a MUST have...the limoncello cake. Esquisito!!! Oh and I forgot the bread and butter, can you say WOW!!! We have been here before it's far from home but a must visit whenever we are staying in the area. Make sure to make reservations as they are always full but make sure to pay them a visit.

I found the perfect tomato salad at Etna Rosso. I was looking for tomato perfection, just like the picture below shows. The freshness of the tomato, bread, basil, and olive oil was amazing. We also ordered mussels (huge portion) and eggplant balls w cheese and tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was outstanding! Luca, the manager, knows how to make you feel like home. Thank you for a great dinner

The food is great! The ambience is fantastic. Service is excellent. Only 10-12 tables so recommend reservations! Full-service restaurant.

Such a warm welcoming place. Luca the owner makes you feel very inviting. Food 5 star

Fantastic food, the main course and the desert were exceptional. The service was amazing.

We came on a Friday night at 6:15 with a reservation and it wasn't busy (but got busier through the evening). We ordered the homemade pasta (carbonara with buccatini pasta and pesto with tagliatelle pasta). The carbonara was really soupy and the pesto was a lot creamier than I expected. The homemade pasta was delicious, however.

We wanted to change venue for our monthly CWG (Couples Wine Group) and we were searching for a new Italian restaurant. I discovered The Etna Rosso. When I first called to inquire about the corkage fee I felt the person answering the phone was a bit short, borderline rude, I normally would have gone to a different place but somehow I stuck to the plan and we went on 02/04 @ 6pm. I'm glad we did, the place is small as you can see from the pictures, there are a few tables outside and a bit more inside, the décor is relaxed and clean. We were served by Luca, he is very charismatic and explains the menu in a way that no one else could. To sum up, you can mix and match all pastas with the different sauces with only a couple of exceptions. I must say that everything we ordered was spectacular, tasteful and nicely presented. We ended up very satisfied, our friends that normally take a portion of their plate home ATE the whole thing! Thanks to Luca for making such a great menu in a friendly Italian environment.

Absolutely wonderful Italian restaurant. This place is definitely a hidden gem. The environment is very cozy with a somewhat casual ambiance. It is very comfortable inside and the service is very quick and attentive. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Although the thing that makes this place so special is the incredible food. This has to be one of the best Italian spots I have been to. The food was spectacular. We started with the complimentary bread that was very good. The bread was fresh and delicious. We ordered the bruschetta appetizers(2 orders) that was delicious. The bread was perfectly grilled and the topping was very fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Amatriciana sauce with bucatini pasta. The sauce was incredibly flavorful with plenty of depth and complexity. Pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente and soaked up the sauce well. We also got the gnocchi with pesto which was one of the best gnocchi I have had. The pesto was creamy and decadent and the gnocchi was soft and delicious. The next thing was the cream sauce and tagliatelle pasta. This was basically an Alfredo sauce. As you can imagine, it was delicious. And the same story with the puttanesca pasta. Just an all around wonderfully delicious meal. The most impressive thing was how different each sauce and pasta was. With their own textures and flavors, a bite of each was refreshing and delicious. I am very much looking forward to eating here again! I would recommend this place to anyone! Thanks!

Great food, excellent service, very unique dining experience. I highly recommend stopping by for a great meal.
