   Beautiful setting, great outdoor location to spend time with family or friends (not in summer or fall though). Very accommodating front desk staff - asked if we wanted outdoors and accommodated our last minute change to outdoor (outdoor restaurant was half empty, indoor seating was empty). Service was good, but not at a highly professional level one would expect. Had to ask for bread twice. Waiter was very friendly. Caesar salad was very good, fresh made dressing with sautéed garlic on top. NOMA salad had no strawberries in it, though that was in the menu description. Fried cauliflower was very good, tasty, cooked appropriately. Crab cake was good with a tasty salsa. Main courses were disappointing. Spaghetti carbonara was not cooked properly (NOT Al dente) with shaved truffle that was not anywhere close to being fresh (not this decade at least). Sauce was okay, not special. Special risotto was swimming in a bed of oil - not an appealing presentation. Risotto was uneven, cooked properly but salty in some bites and almost tasteless in others. The seafish in the risotto was cooked correctly. The Fiochetti Dolce was very good - the taste of pears and Gorgonzola a good combo (although truth be told we prefer the version at Bugatti’s). Desserts disappointing. Molten cake is a regular chocolate cake - nothing molten about it. Guessing that “Donna’s Molten Cake” means it is whatever Donna wants to call it, but it isn’t molten cake. Raspberry sorbet was light on flavor - pallid would be an appropriate description. It doesn’t appear that Donnatella is interested in this restaurant. The kitchen isn’t being run by her (not last night at least) and the result is a mediocre restaurant. Overall - there are so many excellent restaurants in South Florida, this isn’t one of them. This is running on solely Donnatella’s reputation, not on the quality of the food. I recommend going elsewhere.

   Server was excellent but I forgot his name. The fried Red Snapper hands is the best in town.

   The service wasn’t great. The prices seem to have risen a lot. We used to love it here. We live minutes away but the value was t what it used to be. We will return but probably just for drinks and appetizers.

   Since we live in the area, we have been to Noma Brach several times but this time ( Sunday afternoon) it was quite bad: pasta with red pepper power over it! Nowhere in Italy ( where we own a house) is this possible! Horrible aftertaste. Prices too high, service just ok and not worth it for us anymore. Chef Adrienne should up her game there if she wants to stay relevant!

   We had the Branzino as main dish. It was excellent. The service was excellent too. George was knowledgeable and gave us good descriptions and recommendations of alternative foods.
