One Italian — Restaurant in Sunrise

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because my taste buds just took a first-class flight to Italy (without the jet lag, thankfully) thanks to One Italian Grill! And listen, I'm a seasoned veteran of the New York food scene – I've dodged rogue hot dog carts and wrestled for the last slice of pizza more times than I can count. So when I say this place is the best Italian I've had, even eclipsing my beloved city's offerings, you know it's serious. My better half dove headfirst into their signature Cavatelli Braised Short Ribs, and I swear I saw her eyes roll back in her head with pure, unadulterated joy. It was like watching a romantic comedy, but with pasta and meat so tender it probably whispered sweet nothings. Meanwhile, I went mano a mano with the 14 oz ribeye, and folks, this steak surrendered without a fight. I could have cut it with a stern look, let alone a fork! It was so melt-in-your-mouth amazing, I briefly considered writing it a thank-you note. And the house spaghetti? Please. It wasn't just a side; it was a culinary wingman, perfectly complementing the steak like a finely tuned opera singer. Now, let's talk about Samih, our server. This guy wasn't just serving food; he was conducting a symphony of deliciousness. Being newbies to the "ways of the One Italian Grill," he took the time to school us like culinary senseis, patiently explaining everything with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for lottery winners. He was so good, I almost asked him for life advice. Almost. And then, the grand finale: the Salted Nutella Chocolate Tart. Sweet heavens above! It was like a decadent hug for my soul, the perfect balance of rich chocolate, nutty goodness, and just a hint of salt to keep things interesting. I may or may not have licked the plate clean when my wife wasn't looking. Don't judge me; you had to be there. Seriously, if you're anywhere near One Italian Grill, do yourself a massive favor and get your taste buds over there pronto. Forget your therapist; this food is cheaper and way more satisfying. This isn't just a meal; it's an experience. Just be prepared to question every other Italian restaurant you've ever been to. Consider yourself warned – and...

I’d like to start by saying we wish the new owners and the remaining staff the best of luck. My family has been dining here since Vignetos opened. We've held every family celebration dinner here, we support the restaurant ordering take-out twice a week during covid, and all our out-of-town guest looked forward to their annual dinners. We’ve continued to dine with the new owners during the transition hoping for the best, being told the menu would not drastically change, although reality dictates there will be some change expected. However, we are VERY disappointed in the new direction they’ve officially gone. Did the restaurant need a facelift, yes absolutely! BUT does that new design justify the “drastic” price increases? Vignetos was a bit pricey but the food quality justified the price. The new owners remove 70% of the original menu and what was kept is absolutely not AS good. They state fresh pasta is the reason for more $$$ but the penne, spaghetti and one other pasta is not freshly made. We had a party of 16 and only 1 person was impressed with her meal and my husband wouldn’t even finish his. We were so disheartened we discussed it via group text for 2 days afterwards. Look, the food is not bad, its just not fantastic and 16 people agreed it was not worth the outrageous price increases. $24-$48 with most averaging around $36. We tried to adjust a few meals and were met with resistance. I’m allergic to tomatoes and when I asked for a white sauce I was told they do not have one. We always order 4 or 5 appetizers to share. The choices were few and they could not accommodate a slight modification on the sauce. So NO appetizers for us! There’s a hype for it right now, and I truly hope it last because we love the wait-staff. CJ is fantastic and we want the best for them. If you never dined at the previous restaurant you may think this is the bomb-diggity and the pricing doesn’t make you wince. As for all 16 of us…Thankfully there is another Vigneto’s in Plantation, although slightly different from its Weston sibling, its far closer to the wonderful food we loved and we won’t feel...

Hate to come here to complain but want to give others the heads up. If you noticed Vignetos in Weston has sold and is now One Italian Grill. Went there tonight for a birthday family dinner. We bragged about going there and how it’s the best Italian. Well that’s not the case. The biggest let down and embarrassment to brag about a place. We had to the worst service. Waited an hour before we could order. After noticing the owner(I believe) went to a table that came 30-45 mins after us, he took their entire order. Went and told the owner and he said he’d come right over instead sent a runner over to start taking orders. We had to wave down someone for drink refills and then we asked if it was diet and he goes I’m not sure, you have people who are diabetic who can’t just drink regular soda. Some food came out wrong and cold. You could ask for something and it comes 30 minutes later. Penne alla vodka $25 and to add chicken $14. They charge more for penne alla vodka then chicken parm. We asked for a box and couldn’t even get that, we had to get up and finally ask for it. We were given a normal to go container but the other table that the owners took care of were given nice reusable containers. You can’t make it up. So disappointing. This used to be our weekly go to for family dinners. We will never step foot back in there. They changed everything on the menu and pizza You can’t even customize anymore. Chicken parmigiana should have melted cheese on it. We had little pieces of cheese they wasn’t even melted to the chicken. I understand they make all the food in house but when it’s not broken they shouldn’t have changed it. The owner did bring desert at the end. It was nice but honestly should have asked how everything was. Not once did we get asked how our food was or if there was anything they could get us. People were standing in line near one of the computers to pay their bill because they were tired of waiting. Honestly felt let it should be called One and Done. They had more runners then waiters. Sad and extremely...
