Best Italian Restaurants in Landings

Always a great evening when dining at Martaranos! Never disappointed and never leave still hungry! Top notch and first class all the way!

Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the service was truly exceptional. The manager, server, and staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We chose to dine outside on a cool South Florida evening, and they made sure we were cozy. They provided a tall outdoor heater, which the server adjusted multiple times to ensure it was just right. When we jokingly mentioned blankets, they surprised us by bringing actual blankets and even a space heater for our feet! It was such a thoughtful touch. Outstanding experience from start to finish!

Wonderful food, large portions and our server, Tom, made the night even more special! The outdoor seating on the water was beautiful, as well.

Another fabulous meal, our favorite restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, great wine, wonderful specials, service was great. They know how to do food right and the specials are always great!

Our Christmas Eve/birthday dinner was an exceptional treat for this party of 4. We made reservations for 7pm and were promptly seated. The ambiance is old time local family Italian American style- just the atmosphere that I was looking to share with my best friend and our two sons; neither of whom had ever experienced the magical “Feast of the Seven Fishes”, which Anthony’s was featuring this day (they also featured several non-fish and vegetarian dishes if you can’t or don’t like seafood/shellfish) Bread and dipping oils/butter were placed and quickly devoured by the crew. We ordered various appetizers including the fried calamari with a side cup of sauce and roasted grape tomatoes, buratta cheese with prosciutto, Caesar salad, beet and orange salad. Our entrees were varied , with a delicious pork ossobuco with rigatoni , beautifully braised and season; grouper francese with penne in lieu of the asparagus and mashed potatoes that were the sides; fiocchi alla carbonara (pear and cheese “purses” similar to small ravioli with a creamy carbonara. All delicious and warm. Desserts? Cannoli, lava cake with vanilla ice cream (like a deconstructed tortoni), amaretto di Saronno , and crème brûlée. Interestingly enough , no one selected the feast fish, which consisted of clams, mussels, mahi, shrimp, crab, lobster bits and scallops . I am in love with neighborhood mom and pops. The prices were not over the top, but the good and service were! Thanks, Anthony’s . Can’t wait for your Easter menu!
