    We love dining here! We always take family and friends, when they visit. The food is incredibly delicious. The service is always superb. The atmosphere & live entertainment adds to an unforgettable dining experience. Homemade pasta, a delicious assortment of appetizers, entrees & desserts make it a challenge in choosing what to eat. With so many great options, you simply want to come back..again and again!

    Not the New Years Eve experience we had hoped. Way too loud, and overbooked. Appreciated the staff moving us after the first bad table. I’ll try again on a less busy night and hopefully a different experience. A bit annoyed for the $8 person “live entertainment”fee that was outside, we were inside and you could not hear. Additionally pre-paid for an $80 booking fee that didn’t go to your bill and has yet to be refunded.

    Terrible experience… It started with how we were greeted. We had a 7:00 reservation but showed up 30 minutes earlier which seemed to cause problems. We were offered another (bad) table after we were told there would not be room before 7:15 (double standard?). The waiter did not know anything and for each question we had, his answer was “I need to check”… Another waiter splashed some warm pasta sauce on my wife’s arm when serving the table behind us without even apologizing and the waiter repeatedly poured wine outside the glasses. The bruschettas we ordered were nothing close to what a bruschetta is (it was a cheese crostini with microscopic pieces of su dried tomatoes). The chef refused to split a lasagna into 2 plates for the kids but the waiter made up for this after we strongly insisted for having it done. Half of us got a main course that was not warm enough and my wife was given gluten-free fusilli pastas after ordering gluten-free spaghetti (the waiter had “checked” and told us they had both types of gluten-free pastas while the person who brought the plate said they only had fusillis…). I may forget other small details such as nobody but the waiter thanking us on our way out but this list seems long enough to support the label of a terrible experience. Never again!

    Full disclosure… NY restaurant snob here! Additionally expecting premiere service … Dal Contadino is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Ft Lauderdsle and the service is not good it is perfection!!! Simply put, if you don’t dine here … you are missing out. Last night we had a party of 7 … family, holiday, 2 birthdays… we were met at the door by our regular server, Sophia. Sophia is that server who does not meet your needs - she anticipates them. She was sure that everyone had a special evening … from perfect apps and cocktails right down to candles on the birthday desserts. It is not enough to say that her service is outstanding… because it is better than that…it is the best you will have anywhere! (Note: It is no easy task to get 7 varied and perfectly prepared meals to the table at the same time Sophia and her helper accomplished that flawlessly!) Of course, Chef Nuccio took the time to visit our table and welcome everybody… this has become a “home” to all of us and he calls us family! He and his wife Kremena are always most gracious and welcoming. We dine here very often … because it is the best. No request is too big to accommodate… no detail is too small to forget. Dal Contadino is much more than a restaurant it is truly an experience. When you are finished reading this… go to the Open Table app or dial their number +1 954 900 2714 and make a reservation… it will be the best thing you do today ! PS - They also just opened a private party room… great for birthdays, wedding rehearsal dinners, business gatherings, club meetings etc…. Schedule your next event there today ! Go … you will like it ! I will most likely see you there !!!!!!!
