Zuckerello's — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

UPDATE: 11/04/2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We came here to celebrate my partner's birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant's ambiance is modern and fresh, not at all stuffy, which set the perfect mood for his special day.

I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, while he savored the Veal Francese. I decided to upgrade my pasta to Rigatoni a la Vodka.

Our meal began with fried calamari as an appetizer. It was good, but the portion size was a bit small. The flavors in both our main dishes were exceptional, and the portion sizes were generous. We've dined here before, and the consistent high quality of the food always exceeds our expectations.

We absolutely love the table bread; it's delicious. I recognize it's par-baked and finished in the restaurant, but I adore the crackly, paper-thin crust and the soft, pillowy interior. We couldn't resist indulging in it. However, the garlic and oil served with it is a bit too pungent and doesn't taste freshly made or in-house.

One highlight of our visit was our outstanding server. She was not only friendly but also incredibly efficient and on top of her game. She even took pictures of us to commemorate his birthday, which was a thoughtful touch.

As if that wasn't enough, our server offered us a slice of Key Lime Pie to celebrate the occasion, which was a delightful surprise. She even offered to sing - a fun touch. It's these small gestures that make dining at Zuccarello's a truly memorable experience.

This wasn't our first visit to Zuccarello's, and I can confidently say it won't be our last. The consistently excellent food, top-notch service, and the restaurant's commitment to making special occasions truly special are the reasons why we keep coming back. If you're in Fort Lauderdale and looking for a restaurant that combines outstanding Italian food with exceptional service, all at a fairly moderate price, Zuccarello's should be at the top of your list.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First time for me. First time in a long time for my partner. Both of us were very happy with our meal. It might be our new regular place to go for Italian. We started with the Fried Calamari, it was good, a bit expensive for the portion size, also it danced the line of freshly prepared onsite or in a factory. (2.5⭐️). Bread was great, warm, and crispy. (3⭐️). Wine selection was sufficient and well priced. I was surprised the entrees didn’t come with a soup or salad. I had the Chicken Parmigiana. Very delicious. Pounded thin,tender and delicious. (4⭐️). Chicken Zuckerello was a great take on a stuffed/rollatini. (4⭐️)....

I’m so disappointed with this restaurant ,unfortunately I’m diabetic type one which it means I can’t eat carbs and if I do it has to be a minimum amount in order for my sugar not to get high , when we arrived we had a table right away, the server came promptly and took our drinks and appetizers ,when she came back she took our dinner order,we order our food and we requested that since I can’t eat carbs and my wife doesn’t eat cars either as a support for me ,we requested to substitute the pasta for salad and the mashed potatoes for spinach, mind you the side of spinach and mashed potatoes are the same price ,the server said that it will be a up charge for the spinach and my wife wasn’t happy about it but we agreed, then she came back and she said …I asked my manager and we have to charge you for the salad as well and I was whatever,I can’t eat carbs so I guess we have no choice, when the food arrived ,my wife order seabass and it was 2 little pieces of fish I mean very small and unfortunately the fish taste wasn’t good ,she ate the smaller piece and told the server this fish is not fresh and she looks at us like she knew it wasn’t fresh then she replied,it’s not eatable ??do you want something us ,and my wife never ,ever send food back , said not thank you , the server replied I will let the manager know, we place the plate at the edge of the table , the server took the plate and honestly she didn’t care about the fact that the other half of the fish was still on the plate and the fact that we complained about the fish being old , we asked for the check and on our way out the manager asked us how was everything my wife wasn’t happy that the server didn’t remove her dinner from the check and the manager never came to ask what was wrong with her meal ,so she replied it was horrible,the manager was very surprised,he was like,what do you mean,what happened,what can I do for you **5 stars to the manager,it seems like the server never talk to him at all , it seems like she didn’t care at all about us as customers, any ways we left very disappointed ,we went to taco kraft to buy my wife dinner ,even though that we pay almost $35 for the smallest and oldest fish they had inside the kitchen,extremely disappointed,we wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to any one ,especially if they are...
