The Etna Rosso Ristorante

The AMATRICIANA and chicken picatta were incredible! Service was awesome. Very homey feel and you can tell everything is homemade quality. High quality olive oil was served with bread and it’s the little things like that that make a difference. We will be back!

Delicious and authentic home made recipes. Not your typical chain Italian food. So refreshing to come to a restaurant where the owner greets you and every person on the staff is eager to please you.
They joked that your meals come with a 100% guarantee - if there is anything they can do to make you happy, they will.
Can't wait to go back again!

Every single thing we had from appetizers to dessert was outstanding. I am quite confident it would be impossible to order anything not good. Great Italian wine options too including Barolo and Brunello by the glass. Grazie Luca!

The Etna Rosso Ristorante is a gem of a Sicilian restaurant. The food is nicely prepared with excellent flavors. The overall atmosphere is nice and intimate as the space is not gigantic which means when full - that is most of the time - voices can be loud. They also offer some seating outside.

The pasta selections are varied and even offer gluten free. The menu indicates which items will meet vegetarian or vegan diet needs.

We have now been multiple times and the fine food is consistently good. Etna Rosso could become your favorite small Sicilian restorante.

Quick update - We are continuing to enjoy our meals at Etna Rosso, AND sharing the experience with many friends. If you haven't added Etna Rosso to your list of favorites, you must give it a try.

Update !!! Had a special occasion dinner here last week, 14 guests, everyone had a great time, enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. I have never had a less than perfect meal in all the times we've eaten here. You do not want to miss this place !

Authentic, fresh, so delicious. We've dined here several times and every meal so far has been outstanding. Extremely nice owner and staff, this place is a gem !! Also, do not pass on the desserts!! :-)

The owner Luca was kind enough to offer some advice with my bike when I was trying to lock it up right next to his restaurant. When he later invited me inside, I was greeted by this cute little family restaurant that felt cozy and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by how down to earth the entire atmosphere felt, given how widely acclaimed this place seem to be on a wide variety of review websites. The food was absolutely amazing! It honestly rivaled some of the best I’ve had in NYC. The cherry on top for me though was perhaps this message that Luca’s daughter left him on a framed piece of paper when she was five years old. She claims that the restaurant was the best place she’s ever been to. There’s a lot of truth in that statement if you ask me.

We called the Etna Rosso to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and Luca, the owner did not disappoint. I had the Chicken Marsala on the homemade gluten free linguine, it was AMAZING. We had a group of 9 and the service was excellent, the atmosphere was quaint and we all laughed and had a wonderful time. We will be back as this will now be our go to Sicilian Italian restaurant!!

Hands down the best pesto I've ever had. The homemade pasta was amazing. Staff was great. We sat at a cute little patio table. I'm here on vacation, it's a shame I'll likely never get back here

A wonderful gem of a restaurant. A wonderful atmosphere, very authentic Italian with a passionate, friendly and nice owner who we briefly spoke to. You can see his passion to make your evening a good one. Highly recommended, not too expensive either!

Wonderful spot with amazing food. Everything is priced extremely reasonably for plenty of food. Family run and authentic. Owner was very nice and constantly checked up with us. Offered us each a free aperitif fpr waiting what i thought was a reasonable time for great food. Highly recommend

One of the best Italian restaurants in Broward County. It was a special birthday, and the food and service was amazing! We had the Chicken Piccata and the Tagliatelle Bolagnese with Meatball. Yum! The wine was wonderful!

I moved to pompano recently but I’m from NY and Sicilian so I’m VERY picky about Italian food. So far this place has been great! The food is wonderful, the owner is very nice and attentive. It a small place so I would def recommend making a reservation.

I had the pleasure of dining at The Etna Rosso the other night. Where do I start? First of all, every dish was flavorful! Even the vegan dishes were bursting with flavor. Towards the end of the night, the owner Luca sat at our table and chatted with us for about an hour! Great guy with great conversation. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be returning every time I'm in the area.

Etna Rosso in Fort Lauderdale is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a charming atmosphere. The food was simply exquisite - each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Etna Rosso wine selection was impressive, and our server had excellent recommendations to pair with our meal.

The attention to detail in every aspect of our dining experience was remarkable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The decor and ambiance transported us to the heart of Sicily, adding to the overall charm.

I must give special mention to the pasta dishes; they were truly outstanding. The homemade pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were a delightful balance of flavors. We also tried the seafood dishes, which were fresh and expertly prepared.

In conclusion, Etna Rosso is a culinary delight that should not be missed if you're in Fort Lauderdale. Whether you're a food enthusiast or just looking for a memorable dining experience, Etna Rosso will exceed your expectations. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal

I grew up in NYC eating Italian food and have worked in the service industry for decades. The food at The Etna Rosso is the highest quality, most authentic food you could ask for and the owner is incredibly passionate about ensuring the quality of the food and that each guest is accommodated. Since my first visit here I have felt welcome and appreciated and I look forward to returning every time I leave. If you are looking for a great meal and night out that is worth every penny, I cannot recommend The Etna Rosso enough!

Small intimate and inviting from the home cooked pasta to the beautiful ambience and decor takes you back to old school Italy. We enjoyed everything from the delicious Capri salad to the Bronzino special definitely is return restaurant and also a great place for a first date I recommend making a reservation, as seating is very limited, but they make it worth your while

This place is a GEM. Thank you, Luca for making my husband's and I experience so amazing! Great atmosphere, amazing service, INCREDIBLE and QUALITY food! We will be sending all of our friends and family here and we will be back. Thanks so much!

Delicious food, excellent service, generous portion's and well presented.

They have fabulous, authentic Sicilian food. The owner is Sicilian and prepared everything just like my Sicilian mother would! The location is in a strip mall, and we never knew they were here, but we discovered them tonight and were not disappointed. We will certainly be back for another fabulous meal.

Thank you again for the warm hospitality and the delicious food. We will defenitely eat here again on our next vacation here in Florida.
Gabriela and Alessandro Merlo with family
