We had a wonderful experience at Dal Contadino Trattoria. This is real Italian food, every single dish is hand crafted with high quality ingredients. I felt like eating at my Nonna’s home, the flavors are so homey and authentic. Coming from an Italian herself, this place is a hidden gem I’ll definitely be back to. Can’t recommend enough!

If you’re looking for an elegant trattoria that delivers on its food and service, then don’t miss this charming restaurant in East Ft Lauderdale. The food never disappoints and you feel welcome the minute you enter. Outstanding service without the higher price tag that usually comes with higher end restaurants. The only challenge is the noise level which can be easily accommodated by sitting outside.
