Caffe Europa

Excellent service, delish food and good drinks. I've been going there for years. I usually have the chicken marsala and tiramisu.

Excelllent all around. Food, Service, Atmosphere. All high quality.

Tiana served us. We just walked the strip and took a chance on this place. My family is from Italy. So we know good Italian food. I chose the spicy rigatoni and my father got his classic pescatori linguine. We were blown away by the quality and authentic taste. It's like we were back in 🇮🇹. Extremely impressed by this spot. Didn't even know it existed.

Been coming here for 20+ years, remember the old location well. Hands down the best Italian in all of South Florida. Staff is very warm and family like environment. My kids grew up here and we are still weekly regulars to this day. Can't say enough good things about this place, it's special.

Mediterranean Salad and Rustica Pizza was delicious, thin crust!!! Cappuccino was a wonderful end to the meal. Will definitely come back.

So good! Service was amazing!! The beef carpaccio was bomb! Arugula. Bronzino special. Yes please. Just a tad pricey. $48 for fish. With arugula. I think everything is fresh caught though and grass fed. Would def go back.

Love this place! The food was delicious and well-presented. I had the eggplant rollatini - YUM. Perfect ratio of cheese and sauce, and the eggplant was perfect and light, and not mushy or greasy at all.
Waitstaff was wonderful; friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Atmosphere is busy, but cozy, and we had no trouble hearing our conversation amid the bustle.
This place is a favorite of so many people for very good reason.

October 23, 2021: Another 10 star meal with outstanding service from Mario. Mille grazie! The Lobster Fra Diavolo and Baccalà Livornese were both superbly prepared. Every bite was simply mouth watering, and, of course, you must start with the calamari Europa. High season is beginning again for visitors to our beautiful destination, so prepare to wait a bit when dining after 7:00. It is well worth the wait. Outstanding, authentic Italian cuisine served by a terrific international staff in a comfortable, sophisticated setting. There is parking along Las Olas Boulevard and on 8th and 9th. I recommend you download the “PayByPhone” app as it makes it super easy to pay and you’ll receive a text reminder in case your explorations take you close to your time limit! Buon Appetito!

My favorite restaurant in South Florida is Caffe Europa, on Las Olas Boulevard, and it is our place for ALL special occasions! Last night, we began our meal with the best Calamari Europa. These are NOT fried calamari, but true Italian style, tender, and deliciously flavored calamari that taste like they jumped from the sea onto the plate! The salmon Europa was perfectly prepared with a delectable, light sauce, and served with an outstanding polenta and seasonal vegetables. The rigatoni with gamberi (shrimp) is one of my favorites that I can never resist! Service is ALWAYS outstanding, ambiance is lively, yet sophisticated, and desserts and caffe to die for! Caffè Europa is a favorite of locals and a “must do” for our visitors to Fort Lauderdale. And, for the Italian community and those traveling to our city during the holidays, Christmas Eve dinner at Caffe Europa is traditional and out of this world—try the Baccalà! Grazie mille per una cena perfetta!

Lovely Italian place. Passed the macchiato test with flying colors. Inside is amazing. Very clean owner is very welcoming. You’ll love coming in here for coffee or food.

Our waiter Andy was outstanding! We had clams marescada for an appetizer, and the sauce was superb. The veal Francese and the side dish of pasta I had was delicious. My wife said her main course of gnocchi was the best she's ever had. Very light texture, and the sauce was great. The restaurant was packed as it usually is, and it is best to make a reservation if you want to enjoy the best Italian food in Fort Lauderdale we've ever had over the many decades we have traveled here.

My absolute fave spot in fort Lauderdale! Service is unparalleled, food is consistently delicious, and overall value is phenomenal. We take everyone who comes into town here at least once and highly recommend it to all!

Food was great & flavorful. Very crowded popular place. Pasta & seafood cooked perfectly in texture. Service was amazing! Big wine selection & our waiter sang happy birthday beautifully & loud, whole place cheered. Great crowd

We found this place by accident in a way. We met a nice man on our travels in Ft. Lauterdale and he said he works for his family business and invited us to come check it out. We were looking for a good meal so 4 of us decided to see what its all about? Let's just say thank you Mike for randomly inviting us to your amazing establishment! The place was hustling (unlike many restaurants on the street) and we soon found out why. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was exactly how we like it, and the food WAS AMAZING! when the bill came we were pleasantly surprised at the value. Would definitely eat there again. Maybe on our next vacation 👌❤🇨🇦🍻

Excellent place, both the food and service are very good. Price range also good. There is out doors and indoors seating. Pastas and Pizzas are amazing, and my favorites desserts are the Frutti di Bosco and Tiramisu.

I’m a foodie person. I like to try new things, I like to keep it on the seasoned, tasty, exquisite side. Let me tell you....

Stop searching. Just go. We were looking for parking and a local who moved here from somewhere else told us this was a must try. And I’m so glad we did. I got the salmon piccata and it was so delicious I wanted to order a second plate. The dinner portions are bigger so for lunch probably order your own plate like we did.

Mr. Paul did us great service by being friendly and professional and I love him!

The cooks and everyone is great with friendliness and making you feel welcomed. The place looks fancy but not extremely overpriced like places right on the river.

We made great memories here for the melas we have shared and we are excited to someday come back

Great lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant. We went because there wasn't a wait but were very satisfied. Literally, the BEST meatballs I've had in my life! Quality plates for all, even the picky kids! Super friendly staff

This place was excellent! The food was fresh! The service was great! The atmosphere was very clean! I will be back!

I love this restaurant, it is a very beautiful place, excellent atmosphere, delicious food, the cheese tortellini was delicious with a rich Argentine red wine and my husband enjoyed some spaghetti with meatball ... we finished with an amaretto tiramisu and two coffees excellent ... the service was excellent, very cordial from the entrance of the restaurant, it deserves its 5 stars and I will definitely return!

Cafe Europa has been one of my favorite places to eat lunch and dinner. The food is consistently delicious and the portions are filling. Victor is a wonderful waiter and always goes above and beyond; making sure that we have our iced teas full, Sunny’s water bowl ready, and my chicken chopped on my Caesar salad. Always grateful for the entire staff and family who take care of us here.

Absolutely fantastic meal! My husband and I travel to Fort Lauderdale every few years and we happened to end up at Caffe Europa a few years back for a quick dinner... it ended up being so much more than that. Fast forward two years and we went back this past weekend for another incredible meal, the tortellini is a MUST!
Wonderful service, fantastic authentic food for a fair price... highly recommend!
