    Casa D’Angelo in Fort Lauderdale delivers an unforgettable dining experience. We ordered the bison and the branzino—both were absolutely outstanding. The branzino was perfectly cooked, light yet flavorful, and the bison was rich, tender, and beautifully seasoned. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the ambiance made the evening feel truly special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-tier Italian cuisine.

    We always try to visit this establishment when we are in pompano. The food is delicious, plentiful and cooked to perfection. There is steak, chicken, pork, lamb in abundance. Rib eye, flank, sirloin, picanha steak all one better than the other. Some were wrapped in bacon, others sliced to suit your pallet! Mashed potatoes were served tableside along with garlic buttered toast - There is a fabulous salad bar, shrimp, salad, tomatoes, cucumbers. Red onions, chicken salad, black beans, rice, cooked bananas. Cooked Pineapple.. bread and more.. I would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the neighborhood. The owner and his wait staff will not disappoint you! Service with big smiles. Courteous. Super friendly!! Good job!!
