    If it’s a salad you want, you’ll be fine. The octopus was tough, the mussels seasoned with a broth that tasted vinegary to me. While we enjoyed the view of the beach and the beautiful colors of the ocean, the dinner was “meh”.

    1 star only because I can’t give ZERO. Overcooked and overpriced pasta plus $3 extra for bread!!??? Truly disappointing restaurant with a wait staff that didn’t care if you were there or not. Really disappointing as I’m a big fan of Fabio.

    Food is just ok nothing special. Is not too expensive but you pay for the chef’s name more than the quality of food. I’m a fig fan of Fabio Viviani and I left the place completely disappointed. Love octopus and this is probably the most insipid I’ve ever tried, the pasta was over cooked and presentation is mediocre. Not too many option in the menu which is something I really appreciate but if you are looking for variety of dishes, this is not the place. Probably what I enjoyed the most, was the lemoncello cake. If you are looking for hood Italian food, this is not the place to go.

    It was bad. Service was bad, dirty tables, dirty in general. Wait time for food was really long with pretty slow restaurant . I was really excited for this place but it was a disaster. No I won't be back and won't recommend for anyone.

    We've eaten here a few times and each time we had a great experience. It's on the beach overlooking the ocean, but never crowded. This time we had the octopus, which is excellent, the cauliflowers, also excellent, and something I don't often have, a burger which was absolutely phenomenal!

    The menu is a contemporary take on classic Italian cuisine. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu. There is a nice laid back vibe. There is an opportunity for great outdoor dining; however, at times there may be some road noise as you are at street level. There is quite a diverse wine list at reasonable price points. Given the quality of food and the appealing presentation pricing is appropriate.

    I’m a huge Fabio Viviani fan so when this restaurant popped up on OpenTable, I jumped at the chance to eat here. I’d say it was good, not as great as his NYC restaurant. Menu was super small but I really enjoyed what I ate. I had the salad and pasta with clams. Very solid and tasty.

    We had Giselle for dinner last night, and Jen for breakfast this morning. Both servers or excellent, and their recommendations or a spot on! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal dinner meal last night, it was very tasty and there was no leftovers and everyone commented on how delicious the meal was! The same could be said for this morning’s breakfast, with the addition of having Jen, as a fellow Astro fan, it made this morning’s breakfast super special. Great job to the entire team, you did it!

    Food was very underwhelming. We had the meatballs for appetizer, which was pretty good to me. The drinks were just okay. I had the lamb, which was good but small portion. It would’ve been nice if they paired it with potatoes, it was just lamb and sliced carrots. My wife had the seafood pasta; it had calimari, shrimp, clams but she didn’t like it at all. To make matters worse, service was suuuuper slow. There was hardly anyone in there either. Meatballs were good, but I could not recommend for the price point or the food. Needless to say, we would never return.

    I visit FLL and FL every year and this dinner was by far the worst service, food and value so far. The lamb was fatty, the steak overcooked and our waitress while nice was absent- a lot. And she only had a few tables. The other wait staff ignored us too when we tried to get their attention. Very disappointed and will not be visiting again.

    What a disappointment the food took so long an hour and still waiting so we left. We got drinks right away we finished them waiter came serval times tel us our food is coming and nothing food took forever. Even when waiter came to check he didn’t even ask if we wanted more drinks. Save yourself time and go somewhere else.

    We got sat and waited 30 minutes before going back to the host stand to see if they could check on why a waiter had yet to come to greet us at our table. After returning to the table we waited 20 more minutes before a server took our drink order. We knew what we wanted to eat as we had almost an hour to review the menu, the server left without allowing us to place a food order. 4 other tables were sat after us but served well before us. 3 people at the table next you us that came in after us ordered the short rib and they ran out of it so I couldn’t have what I wanted. I ended up with a basic pasta dish.

    We have been at this restaurant a number of times. But have to say that the quality has continued to go down. The mussel appetizer lukewarm. Pasta dish orachetti was over cooked and didn’t not taste like fresh pasta. Service was Good presentation sub par. Last time we were here with a group entrees took way To long to be served. This time food quality was Not spot on. Perhaps the chef should s new. Won’t be recommending restaurant anymore and probably will not be back.

    Everything is pretty good (except tons of, always the same, decorative "grass" all over every plate) but $8 for a bottle of still water is outrageous! And tonight the kitchen was probably in a rush, the main courses arrived 5/10 minutes before we finished the appetizers. In this kind of restaurant I expect a little more.

    We only gave overall rating due to the food. I would have expected more flavor, more style, more color however very disappointed in flavor (and I had lobster dish), and the fact that everything just had tons of “greens” on top!!! The gelato at dessert was the best part!! Service was awesome and ambiance perfect…….improve the food dude!!!!!!

    Ate hear during flibs. I get that it's the busiest week of the year, but the service for dinner was awful! We had a reservation and we're seated immediately but it took over 40 min to get our food and drink orders in. Then other 30 min to get a second round of drinks. Our server was trying hard, but he just had too many tables. Clearly management did not staff adequately. Also the hotel offers complimentary drink vouchers, but the restaurant only allows it for vodka drinks?! Like at least offer a house wine or any well drink. The food, when it finally came, was amazing every time!

    After reading the reviews, I wasn’t looking for much. But, most of the meal surprised me. We had assorted small plates, which serve the table well. The entrées were acceptable, but the spaghetti was not. It was over sauced, and certainly not worth the price. overall, an acceptable yet mediocre presentation, and very slow service made the experience less than acceptable.

    Food was actually very good. Atmosphere was a bit of a mish mash where spaces were large and somewhat undefined. We sat at tables that were part outside but the cavernous inside bar space loomed over us in an uncomfortable way. The food was creative and delicious but the space wasn’t conducive to enjoy it. It is important to note that the space is part of a hotel so some of the hotel guests dining were a little underdressed, in my opinion. A ton of potential at this location but there needs to be some interior design work to accomplish the vibe that the food deserves. I felt that we overpaid for the collective experience but the food held it all together and will be the reason we go back.
