Heritage
A friend of mine who had recently returned from spending three months in Italy had a pretty wild declaration: he hadn’t had a pizza in the Old World better than the one at Heritage. It’s not entirely surprising to those who’ve had the pies here, which came about when chef Rino Cerbone perfected the dough […]
Vitolo
Before arriving at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach, chef Anthony Vitolo served a whole lot of celebrities at his Emilio’s Ballato in New York. No word yet on whether Taylor Swift will also visit the Lauderdale location, but I can say the dishes at Vitolo in Fort Lauderdale are worthy of her appearance. Generally, the […]
Larb Thai
Some locals might be angry that we’ve written about Larb Thai-Isan, one of those strip mall spots putting out amazing food that you just want to keep to yourself. Now that the secret is exposed, bring friends so you can order a lot. To get you started: chicken or pork larb (of course); fried rib […]
Osteria Acqua e Farina
For years, I declared this was my favorite Fort Lauderdale restaurant, although I’ll admit a part of that reason was that I could walk to it. It’s exactly the kind of spot you want in your neighborhood: unassuming, reasonably priced and regularly excellent. The menu is a limited collection of favorites, like the chicken valentino, […]
Anthony’s Runway 84
Runway founder Anthony Bruno, of Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza fame, teamed up with restaurateur Marc Falsetto to give this Lauderdale classic a remake in 2023 into an Italian supper club with nightly live music. There are still the dishes regulars expect—cauliflower rigatoni, the absolutely huge “Sunday feast” plate, the little grandma cup of garlic butter […]
Burlock Coast Seafare & Spirits
The ocean views are reason enough to come to Burlock Coast, but there’s also Adrienne Grenier, a talented chef producing a menu focusing on fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables. The casual market-style setup here might seem like a surprise being in the Ritz-Carlton, but that’s good news for anyone looking for a reasonably priced and […]
Steak 954
Philadelphia restaurateur Stephen Starr’s steakhouse takes up a choice waterfront spot at the bottom of The W hotel. But grab an indoor seat to enjoy what might be an even better view of a massive fish tank of glowing jellyfish. The traditional steakhouse classics are on the menu, with high-end choices covering dry-aged and wagyu […]
Pizzeria Magaddino
Tom Magaddino gave up a corporate job in 2017 to open his first pizza shop in the county’s convention center. That became a mobile pizza van before Magaddino finally landed a home inside Gulfstream Brewing, where he’s putting out some of the best pies in town, literally from a tiny setup in the corner. Expect […]
