The weekend of March 28 and 29 is especially busy. Here’s the rundown on the weekend and some upcoming food festivals and special dining events.
South Florida pizza lovers now have a new reason to head to Dania Pointe. Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza is now open, and the Miami-born pizzeria known for its playful star-shaped pies and creative flavor combinations, has now brought its signature mix of craftsmanship and casual energy to Broward County.
There’s something comforting about a restaurant that understands both tradition and reinvention. At Il Mulino New York – Miami, located inside the oceanfront Acqualina Resort & Residences, the two now meet beautifully thanks to a newly unveiled renovation and an updated menu that celebrates Italian classics while embracing seasonal flavors.
To quote Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz, “People come and go so quickly here.” I’ve been a resident of Wilton Manors/Fort Lauderdale for 14 years, and even in that short time, I’ve seen numerous places come and go from Wilton Drive, sometimes in the space of less than a year, and that kind of change brings three new businesses to the Drive.
An amuse bouche [əˌmo͞ozˈbo͞oSH] is, typically, a small savory item of food served as an appetizer before a meal. They are served both to prepare the guest for the meal and to offer a glimpse of the chef's style. The term is French and literally means "mouth amuser." That seemed like a perfect title for this column of tidbits about dining events in and around Fort Lauderdale.
I’m a big fan of early dinners and happy hours. The pace at a restaurant is slower, the room hasn’t filled up yet, and you get to enjoy the food without feeling rushed.
One of the most popular days for dining out is Valentine’s Day, so it’s a good idea to make your reservations early. Here are a few places that already have plans in place.
