Barchetta is a new Italian restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. I can honestly say that it is one of the best restaurants in the city. It has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere and it's beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Carlos, our waiter, was definitely wonderful in every way. My husband and I shared the appetizer and the main dish. We ordered the burrata salad and the lamb which is huge even for 2 people. The food was delicious. What I loved most was the excellent service and the comfortable atmosphere. Overall, I had an amazing experience, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and great service. I can't wait to visit again!

We made a reservation here for our anniversary. We were warmly greeted upon entrance and shown to our table. This is a mom and pops bistro pasta house style. Our server was lovely. We ordered the focaccia and garlic spread. We had a lovely bottle of prosecco. We ordered the tasting size of 3 pastas. The Waygu Bolognese was fantastic! The prices were fair for handmade home pasta and sauces. We look forward to going back.

Our dinner was amazing!!! The service was over the top our server Teddy was fun and knowledgeable and made it a great experience! Everything we ate was so delicious and flavorful. We started with the fresh mozzarella, clams, meatballs, and sausage with peppers and of course the famous Philly Cheesesteaks the best in the country. Some of us ordered the Lobster Francaise over risotto it was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten at a restaurant, and others had the Chicken Parm and Veal Chop Marsala and said they were amazing. We finished with chocolate cake, apple pie dessert, and the stuffed chocolate chip cookie and everything was a 10!! If you haven't been here what are you waiting for? the food and service are a 20 It's an experience you won't forget!!! Thank you, Steve, and team
