CUCINA MODERNA – Italian
The Fort Lauderdale link in a four-restaurant South Florida group, sitting on North Federal Highway within reach of Las Olas and the Broward Center, which makes it a natural pre-show table. The kitchen leans hearty rather than fussy: burrata with prosciutto, crispy calamari in sweet peppers and Sunday gravy, homemade arancini, and fork-and-knife meatballs of veal, pork and beef. Then chicken parmigiana, lasagna, fettuccine bolognese, rigatoni alla vodka, linguine with white clams and colossal shrimp rustica. Pizzas come build-your-own in twelve or sixteen inches, wheat crust included. Lunch runs through dinner seven days a week, with gelato and cannoli after.
