My husband and I were initially going to go to the restaurant next door to here for dinner, but we were drawn into Il Contadino by the music and ambience. Our experience with Michael, who was the only person working (waiter/chef/owner) was amazing. It was a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle. The food was great, wine selection was astounding, and it felt like an authentic New York Italian restaurant. I have absolutely no complaints.
Legitimately one of the best dinning experiences I've had in years. The food is out of this world, the atmosphere was authentic & the owner couldn't have went further out of his way to make sure we enjoyed everything (including making food that wasn't even on the menu, like a veggie platter). It genuinely felt like I was having dinner at Arthur Ave in the Bronx, New York. Also, they must have 1,000s of different kinds of wine & the owner is one of the most knowledgeable people I've met when it comes to Wine. I cannot recommend this place anymore to anyone who wants an authentic Italian Dining Experience.
Authentic Italian, amazing wines and atmosphere. Michael, the owner, is so accommodating and will customize an event for occasions. Who does table side anymore? He will for special occasions! Classy, quiet and fantastic.
Absolutely Fabulous! Michael (the owner) stayed open late for us, and blew us away with homemade pastas and traditional Italian dishes like only a grandmother can make. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious - and made with a care that shows he loves his work. This is a restaurant not to miss if you like Italian food and you are anywhere in South Florida! Buonissimo!
Delicious and great views. I always just get the calamari and have loved it every time.
