    This restaurant is small, intimate, but still hip and modern. The food was very good and our server was very attentive. The pizzas are very big and delicious. I would definitely go back. Plus it isn't too far from downtown should you want to go out for a drink after dinner.

    Think of a pizza place with lots of options. Food was good but service was slow. Odd they told us they were catering a party for 150,. Yet our salad took forever to come out. Guess they didn't hire extra staff for the catering gig. Food we got was good just slow to come to the table.

    These guys do a great job with both the traditional Italian fare combined with healthy salads and alternative dishes. The pizza and garlic rolls are some of the best you will ever have anywhere! Save room for ZEPOLIES that are basically hot square donuts covered with cinnamon or powdered sugars making for an exceptional desert..... They are simply fantastic. Best kept secret is after a movie or theater they have a happy hour menu where house wine and bottled beers that are only $1.50 after 9pm until closing. Best deal in town for sure!! Food and service just keep getting better

    We have eaten at New River Pizza and Grill numerous times. These guys started at take out a dozen years or so but eating right there now that they have a dining room is amazing. Their being just south of downtown Fort Lauderdale makes it very accessible for great home-style Italian food. They have numerous specialty items on the menu in addition to their pizza and pasts offerings. Service and quality all get 5 Stars for us! Must have the fresh garlic rolls and for dessert you MUST try the Zepoles which are a fresh hot Italian donuts covered either with powdered or cinnamon sugar. Save room and make it a point to have them!!!. They have a late night special after 9pm where house wine and beers are only $2!! Keep up the great work

    We all enjoyed the causal atmosphere of this place which easily accommodated our party of 10. Our waiter was efficient and friendly.We will definitely ask for Mike again He even changed the channel on one of the TVs to a kid's show for the sake of the youngest person at our table even though she was somewhat content to watch the chefs in the glass enclosed kitchen.The salad was crisp and well dressed, the eggplant parmesan was tasty, and lightly breaded with a bit of a crunch. The mini pesto pizza would make a tasty appetizer for 3-4. We all enjoyed the Merlot wine and beer. We all look forward to returning to try other choices on the well rounded menu.

    Tried the chicken Philly this time. I have three words to describe it - A-MAZ-ING. I really love this place. Everything from scratch. Everything fresh. Moderate pricing.

    When ordering, one can specialize to their liking. The food was great and I would recommend others to this restaurant.
