  My dining experience here was excellent. We arrived in the middle of a tornado warning (heavy rain, wind, the whole works) and were seated at a corner table. It was perfect. The place can seem a little loud to some people but that's part of the experience, in my opinion: lots of happy people eating delicious food and making merry.
  
  I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The red sauce was sweet and zesty, just the way I like it, and the meatballs were hearty. But what made this entree worth every penny was the pasta itself, which was homemade and flavorful in a way that only homemade pasta can be.
  
  Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant as it's among the best Italian food I've ever had. Well worth the effort, even when it's pouring down the rain!!

  In town for a cruise and wanted to try some local seafood, was really craving some seafood pasta actually so decided to give this place a try.
  
  When my husband and I initially walked in, we were confused on where to go because there wasn't a host stand or anyone to welcome us. Someone eventually walked over to us and sat us.
  
  We ordered ice tea and from the first sip, it tasted awful. We sent it back because it tasted like coffee. I think they might have used the same urn for the coffee hince the coffee flavor. They made a fresh batch which was good and I ended up getting a coke instead. We also ordered mozzarella sticks but never received them. As an entrée, I ordered fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. This was the highest of our meal considering everything else was not up to expectations. We also received a small dinner salad and rolls to go along with our meal. The salad tasted fresh but the rolls were rock solid and hard to eat. Not to mention the unspreadable butter which was cold. Was not impressed with this place that and the waiters seemed less than thrilled to be working.

  Why this place has 4 stars is skeptical being that they have over priced market wine. $9 bottles for $30.  The chicken part was dry and thin. Not much flavor, I think I had to pretend in my head i was eating the same dish from an authentic Italian restaurant.  The pasta sauce was very sweet and bland. I think it could have been from a can or bottled
  
  The waiter was bland like the food, but nice.
  
  Maybe it was an off night but was not 4 star Italian

  This place just does not say Italian but dinner food even thou it's a restaurant. The way the back door to the kitchen is open makes me wonder about bugs flies rodents running around in there.
  The owner is a real Ahole and that's shows . How they stay there in business is because it's the only thing around. My friends have walked out before with being very displeased.

  The entree's are excellent but the pizza's are perfect! We usually start with a large cheese and then order a second with toppings for 6 of us. My wife had a seafood dish that was great. Calamari, mussels, and some pasta that she loved. When we vacation in Fort Lauderdale we always take time for one meal at Franco & Vinny's!
