LA DOLCE VITA – Italian
A dinner-only Italian room on NE 33rd Street in Fort Lauderdale, where the pasta is made in house and the kitchen is blunt about never using anything frozen. The signature Chitarrina La Dolce Vita brings mussels, clams and calamari through tomato sauce; ravioli ai funghi tartufati arrive in a Parmesan cream cut with black truffle, and the veal chop comes the same way. Grilled Portuguese octopus with lemon and spicy aioli opens well, and the mushroom risotto is worth ordering. Closed Sundays. Book it — the room is not large.
