VITOLO – Italian
A block off the sand on North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, Vitolo opens at four and fills on the strength of its pasta. The kitchen plays the classics with intent: clams oreganato and prosciutto-wrapped figs to start, cacio e pepe with truffle, tagliatelle Bolognese, lobster ravioli, a Queen Margherita from the oven, and a chicken parmigiana regulars order without opening the menu. Tiramisu and cannoli close it out, and the espresso martini gets called nearly as often as dessert. Diners come back for the room as much as the plates — elegant, unhurried, staffed by people who remember faces.
