Restaurants near The Massage Studio and Spa

Full disclosure… NY restaurant snob here! Additionally expecting premiere service … Dal Contadino is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Ft Lauderdsle and the service is not good it is perfection!!! Simply put, if you don’t dine here … you are missing out. Last night we had a party of 7 … family, holiday, 2 birthdays… we were met at the door by our regular server, Sophia. Sophia is that server who does not meet your needs - she anticipates them. She was sure that everyone had a special evening … from perfect apps and cocktails right down to candles on the birthday desserts. It is not enough to say that her service is outstanding… because it is better than that…it is the best you will have anywhere! (Note: It is no easy task to get 7 varied and perfectly prepared meals to the table at the same time Sophia and her helper accomplished that flawlessly!) Of course, Chef Nuccio took the time to visit our table and welcome everybody… this has become a “home” to all of us and he calls us family! He and his wife Kremena are always most gracious and welcoming. We dine here very often … because it is the best. No request is too big to accommodate… no detail is too small to forget. Dal Contadino is much more than a restaurant it is truly an experience. When you are finished reading this… go to the Open Table app or dial their number +1 954 900 2714 and make a reservation… it will be the best thing you do today ! PS - They also just opened a private party room… great for birthdays, wedding rehearsal dinners, business gatherings, club meetings etc…. Schedule your next event there today ! Go … you will like it ! I will most likely see you there !!!!!!!

Beautiful space. Sat outdoor. Windy night but heat lamps helped. Super friendly and attentive service staff. Great food and drinks. Loved the spicy margarita and Branzino entree. Will definitely come back next time we are in Fort Lauderdale!

We were very fortunate to get a Christmas reservation. They were very busy but amazingly organized and no one waited to be seated. The menu choices all sounded delicious. We ordered the lobster shrimp dumplings, the wonton soup, seafood rice, roast pork fried rice and sesame chicken. They were all delicious but I found the prices to be higher than they should be. I’m hoping they were Christmas prices and not the regular. Definitely yummy!

Christmas dinner at Mastro’s was fantastic. The food, as always is amazing…perfectly seasoned and presented. They serve love on a plate at Mastro’s! The staff is always warm and welcoming when I return. Preston, the manager stopped by the table to insure everything was satisfactory. David & Steve were very gracious in greeting us. Stefan provided excellent service throughout the evening. It is a pleasurable experience dining at Mastro’s each and every time. I can’t wait to return!

The service was amazing. The food was amazing. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto. It’s always excellent and we share the dessert of the crème brûlée bread pudding. It was the best I’ve ever had.
