The Etna Rosso - Fort Lauderdale

Most people search for seafood naturally when they are at the beach, I like to find a good bowl of pasta after a long day on the beach and this led me to Etna Rosso. This tiny restaurant was tucked into a small shopping center off of a busy road in Lauderdale by the Sea. We were immediately greeted and brought to a cozy table in the dining room. We started our meal with a caprese salad for 2. The salad had beautiful crisp, lemony basil, paired with fresh, mozzarella, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It had a refreshing effect in the heat of the day. My husband had the chicken florentine and I ordered the spaghetti bolognese with a meatball. The menu boasted of fresh made pasta and they did not disappoint! The pasta was tender, perfectly al dente. The bolognese was thick, full of tender veal and pork, beautifully spiced. The chicken Florentine had tender chicken, spinach, more of the beautifully made pasta topped off with a cream sauce. We finished our meal with a flourless chocolate torte. The torte was thick, rich and moist. It was a perfect crescendo to a delicious meal!

Had a wonderful dinner! My husband had the pesto pasta with chicken and I had the shrimp linguini. Both were amazing! The bread was also excellent. The service was outstanding. Don’t miss this gem in Ft. Lauderdale. We look forward to our next visit to one of our new favorite places. Thank you for a wonderful evening! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great dining experience. Staff is extremely attentive and eager to please. Dinner was delicious. We were a party of 4 and each of us ordered a different meal we all raved how great it was. Can't wait to go again! Parking was not an issue but I'm sure that changes on any given night and depends on the season. Did I say we'd be back we absolutely will!!

Truly a gem! Welcoming cozy atmosphere and the service is extraordinary. Luca is The perfect host and Antonio and Manuel provided professional service over and above what you expect these days. Additionally, the food was exquisite! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We visited Etna Rosso to celebrate my mother's birthday, and Luca, the owner, did not disappoint. I ordered the chicken marsala served on homemade gluten-free linguine, and it was AMAZING. We had a group of nine, and the service was outstanding. The atmosphere was charming, and we all shared plenty of laughs, making it a truly wonderful experience. We'll definitely be returning to this Sicilian Italian restaurant!
