Maggiano's Boca

Any good? If not where is great Italian food in Boca or Fort Lauderdale?

    Renzo's is good, on Federal. Great, well, you may not get blown away, but they're good at what they do, and as I've said in another sicussion here, I had the best calzone I've ever had there.

      I'll Second Renzo's there is the Cafe which makes a decent Pizza and Calzone, and then their is the restaurant which IMHO makes very good italian food.

        I'd third renzos the restaurant. Though I'd also throw in Josephines and Arturos both on federal highway in boca. Those are probably Bocas top 3 Italian restaurants.

      Search this board for "Saporissimo" and you will find lots of recos for that - and probably other discussions on Boca area Italian.

        This is pure corporation just like Cheesecake Factory if that is your thing. Big portions and average food. Local mom and pops are much better. I don't have any recs in that area for you though.
