Located in quaint downtown Hollywood, Florida, this little gem of a restaurant is worth the drive from Miami or Boca. The calamari is a pleasant deviation from the fried variety. Instead it is lightly breaded and then sauteed with peppers and onions in a savory tomato sauce. Veal Chop Pizzaiolo is to die for, succulent and spicy. Snapper Francese is the best I've ever tasted. If it's not on the menu, ask Junior (Fulvio Jr.) and he will make it for you. Cheesecake is house made and served with fresh berries. Nothing plain about this dessert. Strawberry panna cotta with cracked pepper makes a nice ending to any meal. New to the menu is the cheese plate. Let them pick it out for you and ask for Mama Carmen's fig marmalade. The wine list rivals any in Florida or New York. Fulvio has some gems hidden in the room upstairs that he might let go of for a price. Bon appetit!
Pros: Great food, great atmosphere, great people
Cons: Let them know if you're in a hurry, sometimes it gets really busy
