Best Casual Restaurants in Lauderdale Lakes

A must return visit from us snowbirds every year. Never a disappointed meal.

How do you make the holidays even more celebratory—bring a group of friends to Casa D’Angelo for an elevated culinary escapade! We have been dining here for two decades and have consistently had an outstanding experience because of the stellar cuisine, authentic ingredients, and amazing staff. Michele and his team are so warm and hospitable, and Chef Angelo even paid us a visit, which was a nice surprise! Tatiana was very knowledgeable and friendly as she regaled us with the biblical specials list, each one more intriguing than the next; the fresh spinach ravioli with sage, brown butter, and pine nuts was elegant, the Dover sole kissed with a beurre blanc and toasted almonds was dreamy, and the braised short rib on homemade pappardelle was hearty and sublime! We had a table for 7, yet Tatiana served us with a graceful ease. The fresh pasta with Alba white truffle was another standout—thoughtfully prepared with its delicate earthiness, highlighting the star ingredient. The wine list is beyond generous with its global offerings, we opted for a 2016 Damiliano Barolo that was silky on the palate, an amazing accompaniment. We definitely appreciated Francisco, their knowledgeable Sommelier, who filled our glasses with a smile and even gave a tour of their labyrinth of wines! Of course, no meal would be complete without dessert-the house-favorite tiramisu, rich molten chocolate cake, and fluffy ricotta cheesecake with berries helped us end on a sweet note. Thank you to Chef Angelo, Michele, Tatiana, Francisco and the whole team for another amazing meal!

Sebastian and sorry I forgot her name both servers were excellent. Bar service wonderful great view .

Our server(wish I remembered her name) was excellent. So much so that we actually spent some time talking about how attentive, informative, not overbearing, and thoughtful she was. The food was excellent, we each had something different burger, omelette, chicken sandwich, mahi sandwich. We shared the ridiculously tasty Bimini bread. Very accommodating when it came to tweaking meals and drinks to our liking. This was my best visit yet!

Excellent experience. Great food, music, & drinks!
