La Cucina - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Very nice small family restaurant were you’ll feel part of the family the first time you go.

Best Italian cuisine in Fort Lauderdale. Food is authentic, tasty and portions are perfect. Staff is awesome, and so friendly. They have a variety of tasty meals. This has become our favourite restaurant to visit on a regular basis. We have never been disappointed. Many thanks to chef Enrico, Claudia and Marco.

We went to two upscale Italian restaurants while visiting the area. La Cucina won hands down. Everything was excellent, fresh, and the pasta is HOMEMADE! Also had a chance to meet the owner and his wife and they seem like wonderful people. The owner is the chef and cooks how his Italian parents taught him! If you’re looking for a taste of Italy in the Fort Lauderdale area go to La Cucina! You won’t be disappointed.

Only good food item was the bread. Highly overpriced. Unprofessional and rude, specifically the owner.

Fantastic find while searching for Italian food during our stay in Lauderdale by the Sea.Walked in on a busy night, but the owners welcomed us in and sat us down. The food is quite good and it feels like you're at home with family.I ordered the Margherita Pizza and loved all of the flavors. The crust was fresh and crispy with a light salty hint, the tomato sauce was very fresh, and the cheese was a treat. Wow, in my opinion the best pizza in the Lauderdale by the Sea area.My partner ordered the Ravioli with Ricotta Cheese and a Pomodoro sauce. He loved the dish enjoying the sauce that they served.Great find for us and highly recommend giving this place a try.
