Went here recently while on vacation in Jan 2012--ex Miami --grew up there--but have lived in NYC for 30 years--gotta tell you--I was surprised I was never here before-but stick more to N. Dade Miami Beach area--Pompano is sort of out of the way unless you happen to be around there..but if you're in Ft. Laud vicinity..definitely worth the drive--this is old school Italian, done right...Waiters who actually don't write anything down and remember everything. even special requests--had my kid with me, and they couldn't have been nicer..on a Friday night, no less..place was packed--had a reservation waited about 15 minutes--not too bad--everything was great--not leaded garlic rolls but fluffy delicious ones--the salad, was fantastic--simple but wonderful--romaine leaves with shallots vinagrettte and gorgonzola cheese--(this is the house salad that comes w/entree--and it's plentiful)--Snapper Oreganata and Snapper Francese--super fresh, big portion, cooked PERFECTLY!--Shrimp scampi was plentiful and delicious--marianara sauce very good--ziti side garlicky --Veal Parmigiana--fantastic---everything I saw going by especially the pasta specials looked delicious...can't wait to go back there---prices are reasonable---dessert was the only thing that was so so--ricotta cheesecake--average--the best is actually in Surfside at an Italian Spot there...but, all in all the meal was just great--place gets loud..but it's good energy! Wish there was a spot like this in NY, but these kinds of places don't exist anymore..either haute cuisine, or homestyle overpriced pizza joints that serve italian menu--nothing of this calibur---
