Cinque Terre Italian Restaurant

Last night was absolutely amazing. We really enjoyed the environment and atmosphere. Daniel the owner, was very hands on in ensuring our experience was satisfactory. The pasta is handmade and you can definitely tell. The prices were fair for the quality of food and experience. I highly recommend. I can’t wait to bring more friends and family! P.s. try the octopus 🐙 so delicious.

Tasty, friendly service and authentic Italian food.... the service was very good, thoroughly enjoyed our entrees of Rigatoni with Beef Short Rib sauce and Lemon Chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. Prices are a touch on the high side, however they do have groupons and specials some nights of the week. A must try! 😁😁😁

We first discovered this restaurant about a few years ago on Uber Eats. They make this black squid ink pasta that is to die for. I hate that saying but there is no other way to describe it. We ordered at least 3 times a month and then it disappeared off Uber Eats. Sometimes Uber Eats restaurants operate under another name and we thought they might have went out of business. Just in the last few months, I started receiving text from them offering specials. We decided to take the 15 minute drive into Davie and try the restaurant out. Once inside, we found the interior to be cozy and intimate. You feel as if you are in their home. The greeter, Luisa sat us and we ordered a bottle of wine off of their fairly extensive and well thought out varieties. Some familiar, most not. I found the black squid ink dish and they happily changed the white pasta in a clam and shrimp dish I saw on the menu for the black ink squid pasta My wife ordered Lobster Raviolli which was not listed at the time but is a specialty. The wine ( they have a full bar if you are not into wine), food and service was impeccable. We became regulars, usually on Friday nights. We were served by Luisa and Daniel on each occasion. Daniel treats the customers as if he owned the place and talks to each of his customers. Luisa who is equally as nice really runs around with Daniel to make sure everything is up to par and that everyone was happy. Last night, 10/16/20, we went there for my Birthday. My wife told Daniel though I am not the type to bring that info up. He did something very nice for me. As I mentioned, they do have a nice selections of wines that are not over priced. Jokingly, I asked Daniel if he could recommend one of two choices of red wines we picked and he picked one and gave us the complete run down on the wine and though he admitted he is no sommelier, he is no amateur as well and sounded like a sommelier. The wine choice ( Cabernet del Veneto) tasted exactly as he described. The depth of his knowledge will amaze even many experts though we are far from being experts ourselves. Knowing the details of how a certain wine is made and how it should taste makes the experience that much better. The food was fantastic as usual. Oh yeah, I forgot one thing! The bread which is homemade and delicious is a great start to your meal. The balsamic and oil included with the bread is not your typical mass made type. It is truly special in it's own right. If you become regular customers, who will learn much more about Luisa and Daniel and their cook, all who seem to be passionate about the restaurant. Most of their customers seem to be regulars as Daniel greets them and says goodbye by name on every occasion he can. Ok, this should be enough to say you have to give it a try and maybe you too can have found a great Italian Restaurant in Davie and you dont have to drive an hour to get there!!! Highly recommended!!!

Amazing food. Great service.

Excellent restaurant. We went to celebrate my mother's birthday and we had a great time. Very tasty homemade Italian food. Now we are going to try the deep dish pizzas. We will definitely be back soon.
