   I didn't realize the place was so small. It was also very loud. Some acoustic treatment might help. Food, service was good.

   What a fabulous restaurant. We were visiting Pompano Beach from Boston for the week and I was looking for a restaurant to go to with my husband for my birthday. Read the rave reviews on Yelp etc and decided to take a chance. When we first saw the exterior we were hesitant. It’s on a main road, nondescript and next door to another restaurant. We decided to venture inside and were pleasantly surprised. It’s a small, quaint restaurant and we were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. Our server, Salvatore, was very personable and very efficient as were the staff. He made us feel most welcome. The homemade bread basket and olive oil was a delicious start to the evening. The burrata and prosciutto appetizer was superb. The portions were very generous and we could have made a meal out of that. The wine choices were great. My husband had the veal piccata. It was so tender, he could cut it with a fork. I had the gnocchi with peas, mushrooms and meatballs which was outstanding. Had plenty left over to bring home. We then attempted to share the profiteroles which are all homemade as well. Again, delicious. They were kind enough to then bring us two mini cannolis with a birthday candle which we also got to go. I wish we had found this restaurant at the beginning of our vacation so we could have come back a second time. If you have the opportunity and love Italian food, do not hesitate to visit LaPerla di Pompano you will not be disappointed.

   I had family members visiting from MI. Since my family loves good traditional Italian, I took them to La Perla for dinner. We started with Caesar salad. La Perla made the best Caesar salad I've ever tasted. It had just the right amount of dressing and was topped with sliced Parmigiana cheese. The dressing was so flavorful and so delicious. I had the chicken Toscana, my sister ordered the linguini with clams and her husband opted for the sole with vodka sauce. We were all happy with our selections. Everything was so delicious. We finished our dinner with lemon cake and baked apple pastry with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My family wants to come back to La Perla the next time they visit me. Everything was perfect, the food, the service, and the hospitality. Highly recommended.

   Wonderful Italian restaurant. Food is amazing, owner and wait staff make you feel like an old friend. Small enough to be intimate yet holds a nice dining room full of people. Highly recommend.

   So this was our first time there and the food was excellent especially the pastas. Everything was fresh. The service was nonexistent terrible way too many people for not enough service. Lots of people standing around. You had to put your food in all at the same time you couldn’t do appetizer first Forgot some things at the end. Weak service excellent food.

   The place reminded me of Italian restaurant s I went to as a child. White tablecloths, home made bread, romantic lighting. We had the pasta with sausage. Fabulous. The short rib was a special. Good but not as amazing as the sausage dish. You’ll be happy you decided to eat here!
