We were lucky to get squeezed in without a reservation. River took great care of us. Pardon the dark photo of the lasagna, it was very good, not over rich. Delicious recipe, and I'm pleased it wasn't over salted!
We shared the bread which I enjoyed and I recommend the meatballs. The meat and sauce is just perfection. River recommended a wine that went wonderful with our meal. Unfortunately I was too full to try a dessert.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem by the beach. It’s such a cute and welcoming vibe - string lights and plants everywhere, like a little outdoor cottage. I came here with a friend but I feel like this would be such a good date spot!
We split a bottle of Pinot Grigio recommended by our server (who was so friendly and charming!) and then got the charcuterie board to start — amazing selection of meats and cheeses. For entrees we for the carbonara and bolognese pasta. The carbonara tasted very authentic — no frills, just the good stuff. But not mind blowing.
I’ll be back mostly for the environment and the wine - the food was good, but not the focal point here.

Hidden gem alert! The ambiance, wine selections, and authentic dishes at super reasonable prices makes this a must-visit. It’s not going to be five star Italian cuisine, but it’s A+ across the board in my book.

Great hidden spot right off the beach (behind The Atlantic). The trees shade the entire outdoor area, and the restaurant gives off Alice in Wonderland vibes! Very breezy thanks to the ocean. Our waitress was friendly, professional & the service was excellent! The food was incredible, and we loved that there was no shortage of greenery walls with neon signage! The bathrooms were super cool too. A couple of my favorite touches: fresh flowers & a light up wine bottle on each table, fans everywhere, vintage mirrors, bistro lights and the check comes in a small book filled with love notes & shout outs from past visitors! We’ll definitely be back for another brunch date!

This place is fantastic! Eat in the garden are. The lasagna taste like Italian pasta. The brea appetizer is phenomenal. You won’t be disappointed.
Melanie Seekins
What a hidden gem! The food was fantastic, the service was phenomenal, and the location perfect. Tuesdays have a special off menu surprise. Highly recommend for a date night, client dinner in a quiet eclectic environment.
Great wine selection too. Try the in-house lemoncello. If you are an Italian this is your spot.

Currently here for the happy hour- impressed by this cute location.

After looking for a place near Ft. Lauderdale beach to have brunch, we came across this authentic hidden Italian gem. The food was absolutely delicious, even down to the bread. The Tiramisu is one of the best we have ever had, and I would recommend going even if it’s just for that. The reason for the point deductions is because of the service. While the waitress was very nice and accommodating, it just seemed like she was handling too many tables for one person. I would recommend that they hire at least one more waiter/waitress in order to improve the customer experience. All that being said, the food is so delicious that we would definitely still return.

Excellent Team with delicious food as vegetarian without eggs and fish it’s hard to find good food but Ron was good and very enthuse about to make sure every customer go happy and very informative about locals.

Amazing food and setting, sadly let down by poor service. Burrata starter was incredibly tasty; but no sooner had we finished the starter our main course was already being served, and sadly no check-in led my partner to not get the parmesan cheese she craves on every dish.
Waiter seemed spread too thin and juggling too many tables, but food really is a 10/10 and the setting is romantic and perfect for date night.

This was the 2nd time in 2 days that we stopped in. On the 2nd visit we hadn’t made a reservation and so it was going to be at least a 1 hour wait. We asked if we could wait in the front near the sidewalk where there was a little table and 2 wooden fold up chairs. They said no problem and only about 5 minutes later the owner came by and said you would be served and taken care of. It happens quickly and my wife ordered the lobster dish and 1 ordered the pepperoni thin crust pizza. We also ordered 2 different wine samplers which come with 3 different selections of wine. The wine, food and service were 5 star rated. We will highly suggest that if your in the area, stop by and you will not regret it!

This place was unbelievable!! The food was a 10/10. The Bolognesre was amazing light red sauce. My husband had the lobster raviolis over a lobster bisque... Being from Maine we were very impressed by it. We also tried the pizza, and gnocchi. AMAZING. We went 2 more times because it was so good. This little hidden gem was worth it thanks to our friends we met at the airshow!!

This is my home away from home. I love their ladies night on Wednesday's because they have an amazing market outside. I love there brunch because who doesn't like bottomless mimosas? Not to mention, where are you going to get the best pizza for under $10 during happy hour? Do you want to know my favorite part? The staff is so loving and welcoming. They make you feel part of the family.

Booked for Valentine's celebration. First time here and it will not be my last.
Everything at Wine Garden was exceptional!
It is a simple and yet beautiful setting in what it seems like a large house, with outside and inside seating, alleys, and seating in the open space in the back as well.
The service by Gabi was exceptional!
Although there was a pre-fix menu due to San Valentine's, everything we tasted was great!
Price was reasonable. Not cheap but not crazy expensive.
Wine Garden is now one of my favorite places.

Little gem of a restaurant. Their happy hour menu is on point and drives incredible value. Ron, the bartender, was amazing. The pizza was fuego. Came for happy hour but dug in and ended up staying until 9pm chatting with other patrons.

Great find! 5 of us with a reservation, had a fabulous Wednesday night "in the patio garden" . Gabby our delightful server was so accommodating. Unfortunately the weather man had predicted the off shore rain coming in and sure enough. But we were there long enough to have our first happy hour beverage before the rain event. However, I have never seen staff so rapidly and efficiently open up the private room adjacent to the beautiful outdoor venue and accommodate everyone comfortably inside( lots of open space and windows,which was just as eclectic and happy as being outside. They managed to keep everyone smiling and totally satisfied. This is the best experience I've had in a casual atmosphere in many months!

This place is a hidden gem, nestled in North Beach Village just a block off A1A and the ocean. It's got a cool, funky, chill vibe, great music and the people, food and wine are fantastic! They're open Thurs- Sun nights and are also available for private parties and events. I hosted a couple of songwriter nights on off nights and the owner, staff and venue were all stellar! Whether you live in Fort Lauderdale or are just visiting be sure to check out this neighborhood bar.

Super cute spot just steps from the ocean in Fort Lauderdale Beach. Great service. Plenty of parking spots..Food was amazing, I got the Rigatoni & broccoli rabe and they also carry a great selection of wines. This place is a hidden gem surrounded by art gallery, unique boutiques, etc
Daniel Palacios
The experience here has a really unique feel unlike anything you'll find in the Fort Lauderdale area or even Florida in general. As a Florida native, having grown up going to Fort Lauderdale beach I can say this is bringing a breath of fresh air and breathing new life into the whole night life scene.
Katrin Ratassepp
Great little spot near the beach. Tucked into a lovely garden filled with fountains, fire pits, good food and fun. Ask for the bolognese pizza, which isn't listed on the menu.
Danny D'a
Tucked into North Beach Village, venture into the garden for tasty treats and a great ambiance under the stars.
Rigi Bolognese was a winner! We will. Do not miss checking this hidden gem out.

Great white wines! Had a flight of 3 white wines and not being a wine drinker I thought they were great!
