    Great hole in the wall that is bigger it appears from the front. Legit Italian food, everything we tried was delicious. Not cheap but fair price for the quality. FYI it is not on the beach, but overlooking a nice waterway.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The House on the River. Joelly, our Server took great care of our party of three celebrating a Masters graduation. Despite it being crowded, our drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert and coffee were all served perfectly timed and were delicious. Highly recommend this great restaurant in an historic building in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

    This was easily the best dining experience we had our entire trip. The food was delicious - the calamari is a MUST. The bimini bread was also the best bread we had. Our waitress took the time to review the menu with us when we mentioned it was our first time there. Definitely will be back when we visit next year for F1!
