"I saw this restaurant featured on a TV show and decided to try it for a birthday celebration. It is definitely a hidden gem, located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We were greeted by the chef and owner, who offered to accommodate us in a quieter area. The service was excellent and the food was delicious with generous portions. Although a bit pricey, it was a good value for the overall experience. To top it off, they gave a complimentary dessert for the birthday celebrant. I would definitely go back again."

"You need more crew members because the staff they got is not enough to handle the long lines in the morning time, and they let the customers wait to place the order and wait for the pick-up of the order that was placed e. I became an order for my son party two weeks ago I was spending a very good amount of money and they did not correspond to my speculations because I lacked a product that I was willing to pay and when I went into the bakery she did not even go back to me the money that I was paid for the merchandise that I lacked, not even an apology it is a shame that this place is not for her service?"

"I grew up in NYC eating Italian food and have worked in the service industry for decades. The food at The Etna Rosso is the highest quality, most authentic food you could ask for and the owner is incredibly passionate about ensuring the quality of the food and that each guest is accommodated. Since my first visit here I have felt welcome and appreciated and I look forward to returning every time I leave. If you are looking for a great meal and night out that is worth every penny, I cannot recommend The Etna Rosso enough!"

"The restaurant was very crowded when we went on a Sunday for breakfast, luckily we had reservations and were seated as soon as we checked in. The brunch buffet didn’t start until 11:30 so we had to order off the menu and couldn’t get the bottomless drinks. 11:30 Sun brunch seems late for a beachside hotel restaurant. We felt very rushed by the waiter, encouraged us to order our food when we ordered our drinks the food came well before our drinks were brought to the table. The food was above average."

"Due to a recommendation from a friend, my girlfriend and I had dinner last night at La Dolce Vita in Fort Lauderdale. The service was phenomenal and it stood out from the moment we arrived. As we approached the doorway, one of the gentleman at the restaurant opened the door for us and escorted us to our table where he then continued to untucked our chairs for us and hand us menus. The excellent service and ambiance really gives this place an upscale feel. We ordered the soup of the day which was an onion soup and the insalata adriatica for appetizers which were both awesome. Then for our main courses we ordered the Garganelli Alla Bolognese and the Chitarrina La Dolce Vita. Both of these meals were absolutely delicious and had a very fresh taste. After we finished our meals we were both stuffed and so we informed our server that we would skip dessert. About 5 minutes later he returned with a fresh slice of tiramisu and insisted that we try it on the house. Wow! Overall, we had an amazing experience and will be sure to both return and recommend this place to our friends and family."

"THE BEST. Mom and sister brought me here for my 30th birthday and I'll never regret it. They make everything made to order, the customer service here is super sweet and they'll load you up on the sauces. (they do mention it costs extra , but mentioned this with very much manners). There's little elevator music playing in the background and you'll catch a lot of people coming here solo to study or catch a worth it lunch special. I love this place. Will come here for every single Birthday"

"Loved this restaurant. To run around their docks to see how people feed the many Tarpon fish of all sizes. Had drinks in their bar and then went to the dining room with many windows and views of the water and the yachts. Our meal was notch and so was our waiter. We ordered 2 bottles of red wine, appetizers: tomato soup, fish with vegetables, shrimps and a free plate of cheese bites. All were very good. Our ducks were excellent: Sea bass with sweet potatoes and green beans; Cario Fish and Halibut Dinner. Vanilla ice cream for dessert. What a delightful day for good food and atmosphere."

"Came here for brunch with friends and it was really good. Not super unique food but very well prepared and presented. We each got a juice that was incredible. The ocean view really adds to the ambiance. Service is overall good. I do think the drinks are overpriced compared to the food. Otherwise very good."

"Very bad waiter. Cleared things away too fast. Didn’t get food the way we wanted it until we asked twice. And extremely unpleasant. Didn’t crack a smile once"

"I was expecting a full on seafood restaurant not just a restaurant with a raw bar selection... But we stayed anyway and enjoyed our time. Mostly because our server Nick was really awesome and made us feel super welcome. Actually all the staff was pretty freaking cool as well. Must get the house smoked fish dip. Not at all fishy in taste and had a great balance of flavor and seasonings. The maple horseradish brussel sprouts are crazy addictive too. The lobster roll was refreshing and the fries shrimp on my Caesar was a tad salty but still nice and crispy. You have the option of indoor and outdoor seating with relaxing water views even with the cars zipping by on the drawbridge a few feet away. With the water access, it looked like you could also sail up to their outdoor seating area on your water craft too. Will definitely drop by again when back in town."

"I was very excited to go to this particular location. I am a huge fan of the restaurant and I was not surprised to see the consistency. I have my challenges with allergies and they were super considerate. Not only is the food quality outstanding but the service was too. Our server was a great man that was exquisitely trained. He didn't rush us along and it got very busy while we were there. He was doing a great job from when it was quiet to when it was super busy and taking care of us. Enjoy your dinner here.! You certainly will not be disappointed. If you have enjoyed my review, please give me a thumbs up ? and feel free to follow me for other future reviews. ?"

"We had a Saturday night 8:30 reservation for 8 for a mixed age birthday dinner. It was busy but not that busy to let us know they would not be ready for us to sit down until close to 9:30. The person I asked to help on the floor was obnoxious and dismissed my inquiry to speak to the host/hostess or manager. The problem that I had was that NOT ONE person had the decency to alert us to the fact that we should get a snack at the bar etc. The grandmother had a cane and we were famished and a bit tired. With that said, thank goodness that the food was delicious and enjoyed by all. I had a cosmo, the mussels appetizer and the Greek salad with a BIG piece of salmon on top that were all fresh, tasty and well priced. I am so thankful that everyone was patient and we all left happy and well nourished. If the staff would have been a bit more attentive to our party that many are in the food industry and tip VERY well, I would've given 5 stars, but staff attitude and attentiveness matters in the service industry-almost as important as the food for some patrons."

"Eating is just not very good. This place once was my destination, but the quality of the food has gone downhill. It also seems like the last 2 times I went, the order is always incomplete. If a court calls for avocado, you never get it, you need to ask where is the avocado and they send you 4 tiny slices of avocado. The sushi rolls are also shameful. There are FAR better Thai places in the area. Don't waste money here. Food is fair at best."

"GG's has been around for years. Generally, the food is great, authentic Italian cuisine, but it can be immaculate. Some days food is better than others. Bottomless salad and garlic rolls are great appetizers. Waiting staff is competent and attentive. The premises are attractive and clean. It can be employed with older crowds 5-7. No bar, it's alcohol. Parking is limited."

"I give this facility a bad review because of our waiter. we sat and it took 15 minutes to say hi. we had a good meal and enjoyed our time our waiter never gave us a scary, he just told us what it would cost, and then he said that there was already added a 20% self-worthiness. we had expected that we would never get a reception. we had to drive in a hurry for the train, but we saw him not written."

"Let a party of Four in without masks and say them in a booth right next to us NOT 6 feet away! No social distancing. Told hostess she responded that they didn’t have masks and the restaurant didn’t have any to give them. Told her get us a check we are leaving. Asked for manager. He did not come. We had to ask for him again on way out. No excuse for not following CDC guidance. We will not return"

"This is probably as close as you will get to a NY deli in Ft Lauderdale but it's a far cry from the real thing. The sandwiches were a little dry and the pickle was basically a cucumber with no pickle flavor or texture. Still, it's not bad and is worth a visit if you're in the mood for deli food."
