Excellent fresh food and fast polite service. We had Burrata caprese, Lasagna alla Bolognese, Spaghetti with pesto. Dessert was Tiramisu and Profitteroles. Absolutely fantastic food! I love fresh home made pasta and they delivered. Small cozy location with limited parking. Most highly recommend eating at Sapido.
A phenomenal meal and great experience is the least I can say. The wine was great and the ambience relaxing. The portions are not the biggest but the dishes pack a lot of flavor and the Mediterranean salad was one of the best I’ve had in a months.
Seating wise this is not a large place but I prefer these nice romantic type setups where you have good energy while enjoying your meal.
Easily the most authentic Italian spot in Fort Lauderdale. From their diverse menu of pastas, antipastos, to pizzas, every dish feels like a culinary journey to Italy. I’ve been a regular for months and have yet to be disappointed. Recently, I had their spaghetti Pescatore, and it was the best I’ve had outside of Italy. Kudos to Chef Luca for nailing the perfect balance of red sauce and garlic (amazing chef by the way) Don’t miss out on their homemade biscottis, freshly baked which pair perfectly with an espresso to round off the meal. Today, I tried the branzino and it’s simply amazing. Check out the attached pictures for a visual feast!
Cute small Italian cafe with fabulous food. Was on my way back from Las Olas and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Food was excellent. Fresh homemade pasta and the pizza was delicious with a nice crisp crust. Highly recommend this restaurant.
This pasta is hands down fantastic! The flavors are sublime, portions are perfect (not American huge), and the staff is friendly. I didn’t give five stars, because the wine selection was slim, a restaurant boasting authentic handmade pasta should have some show-busting Super Tuscans, I didn’t find those here.

If you're looking for a genuine Italian dining experience in Ft. Lauderdale, look no further than the quaint and cozy little restaurant in downtown Ft. Lauderdale, on 8th St, Sapido, that I recently discovered. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a comfortable ambiance that sets the stage for a truly delightful meal.
What sets this restaurant apart from other Italian eateries in town is the authenticity of its dishes. The menu is full of homemade pastas, hearty meat dishes, and fresh seafood options that are all prepared with traditional Italian methods and ingredients. The flavors are bold and rich, yet also have nuances that showcase the attention to detail and genuine passion that goes into every plate.
One of my favorite dishes is the Lobster Ravioli, which is an absolute masterpiece. The lobster is cooked to perfection with a blend of spices that make it simply irresistible. The pasta dishes are also amazing, especially the Ladagna, which is the perfect mix of savory and sweet flavors.
The staff at this restaurant is also outstanding, Mario, our server went above and beyond to make sure that each we felt welcomed and at home. He was happy to offer recommendations and suggestions for dishes or wine pairings, making our visit feel like a personalized experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Sapido to anyone who values authenticity, quality, and an overall fantastic dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving some delicious Italian fare, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The combination of authentic cuisine and warm hospitality make it a true gem in the Ft. Lauderdale dining scene.
Such a great place! I've been wanting to go for awhile, ended up being in the area mid day and it was the perfect time to squeeze in! Food was great, we were able to sit outside with our dogs, and vibes were perfect!
I wish I could give more stars to this amazing restaurant. The food was delicious! I thought I was in Italy with the flavors and quality of every dish. I will win return to this restaurant every time I'm in the area.
Great small Italian place with really good food and wine. Service was excellent and attentive. There are limited inside and outside seating options since the place is very cosy in size. We didn't like the outside area but other patrons seemed to prefer them over inside.
Had an excellent meal here in this quaint Italian restaurant.
Serves 26 and is a welcoming alternative to the places on las Olas that dont even make their own pasta!
Started with the Meatballs in a wonderful homemade tomato sauce that I didn’t have to adjust. Loved them!
Had the Lobster Ravioli which was filled with lobster on a light oil/wine sauce with shrimps.
Perfect since i just wanted to taste to pasta and the filling anyways.
My wife got the Porcini Mushroom raviolis, and although it tasted great, it needed more mushrooms and sage.
Run by sone great guys from Italy so you know they use authentic Italian products.
What a wonderful place. Cozy atmosphere; friendly and personable service; and outstanding food! Table bread (coarse white loaf and Focaccio) was fresh. Mediterranean Salad was packed with flavor. Be warned, the salads are huge! Ended with Spaghetti Carbonara. My gosh, this well above taste wise what I have experienced at other Italian restaurants. Sadly, I had no room for dessert, but I left with a smile on my face. If you have not been here, I encourage you to give it a try!
I recently discovered Sapido, a small but excellent Italian restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, and it was an absolute delight! The pasta is homemade and cooked to perfection, and the menu is small but incredibly delicious. The ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant absolutely perfect, and it was clear that the owners from Italy have kept it traditionally authentic. I can confidently say that it's the best Italian restaurant I've ever visited in Fort Lauderdale. I would highly recommend Sapido to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience.
We have driven by countless times and we decided why are we skipping this, so we decided to give it a shot and now I'm bummed we didn't do it a lot sooner. Good Italian food is hard to find in S Florida. These are REAL Italy Italians so the food is awesome and ironically for downtown Ft Lauderdale it's also affordable. Plus they couldn't be nicer.
A short walk from Las Olas. No too far off the beaten path. Excellent Italian food.
The food here is incredible!! They deserve 10 stars. The owner and his staff are attentive, friendly and accommodating. I took my family here for dinner last night and everything was delicious. The food is all made from scratch, super authentic and made with high quality ingredients. This is my new favorite spot for authentic Italian food! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
*Highly recommend the lasagna bolognese.
Cute little restaurant, loved the vibe, our waiter was super friendly, now the food was good, but not excellent, sorry, the meat was lacking a bit of flavor and it was a weird consistency, it looked like processed meat 😮💨 My husbands pizza was good he said. I would give another dish a try though 😋
