We were excited to try Devito's on Saturday Night but unfortunately we were met with utter disappointment.
I knew the meal was going to be overpriced...and that is fine as long as the food is well prepared, flavorful and top notch.
We found the food to average at best and to be honest with you ...this restaurant is all hype and show with very little substance.
Our meal cost $250.00 and food was just NOT good...It was less than average.
We ordered the following:
Meatball (this 10oz meatball for $18 should have been the best meatball of my life or at least in the top 5. The center of the meatball was severely undercooked and mooshy in the center. I wouldn't serve my kids this meatball.
Crispy Calamari Duo ( this was not bad but it was average at best. The calamari was chewy and not tender...the sauce was lacking flavor. You can get better calamari and most raw bars or restaurant chains)
Minestrone (This was good...not great)
Pennoni (basic pasta dish lacking flavor ...you can find a better pasta dish at any local pizzaria)
Fruiti Di Mar (This seafood over pasta dish was also sub-par. The seafood was NOT particularly fresh and the sauce was as plain as a jar of tomato puree. )
Regardless of price I would NEVER eat at Devito' again. We eat at fine restaurants every weekend in South Florida and this is probably one of the worst meals we have had in a long time. ...we were very excited to eat hear but was very disappointed when we left.
We could not recommend anyone wasting their time or money on this restaurant that is all marketing a no substance.
We will stick to our regular Italian stop - Anthony's Runway 84 in Ft. Lauderdale.
Pros: Nicely decorated
Cons: Food is NOT good, Price, Cigar Smokers outside eating area
