Not quite sure why some havent had such a good seating, but tonight my family and I came here tonight and the food was delish! I would give it 5 stars but I gave it 4 because our server sucked. He was telling us about the specials and during that his eyes were all over. He also was as slow as can be. On a good note though, the food was great! Reminded me of how my family makes food, very southern Italy. Besides the food, the atmosphere reminded me of Italy, kind of cheesy but very cute. On one of thesides is aguy making fresh pasta. Bread, pastries, pasta… Everything was made fresh. Thats what I call good food! For the topping on the cake, the owner came to talk to us and talked about his family making it very warm feeling. I will so come back!

I kind of wish my friends did not pick this place to get dinner the other night. The portions are family style so I was kind of excited to try what I thought was authentic Italian food. I was wrong ! Started out with the fresh mozzarella kind of tasted like the one at costco that you buy in the plastic container. Also tried the Cesar salad which the dressing tasted like it was from Wishbone like they opened a plastic bottle and poured it in top. At that point I should have just opted to not eat anymore but I was starved. The chicken Parmesan tasted like the chicken was Tyson frozen thrown in a fryer and cooked till it tasted kind of like rubber coated with cheese, and ragu tomato sauce. The only thing good was the atmosphere, and the service. The problem is I go to a restaurant to eat so if the food isn’t good then I will not return, and definitely not recommend this place.

* I recommend you keep driving pass this place ! That is my only recommendation!

From California and had to come to Florida for a funeral. We were staying around the area of Oakland park with relatives . My wife and myself stumbled across this restaurant. Bad move.
By the time I got out of the restaurant I was thinking the funeral would be for me. It was Alka Seltzer for dessert and Ex-Lax for a nightcap. The food really was terrible.
Wish I had checked Yelp and heeded the negative reviews. Stay away from this place.

I was referred to this restaurant by a friend. It goes without saying that I am no longer friends with this “person”. The Gnocci was bland with no flavor. I at least thought desert would save the meal, but sadly I was again disappointed. I brought this up to management (which I never do). Although they were extremely friendly, I can still taste the cardboard in my mouth. This would be a one star had it not been

I don’t know where these 4 other reviewers ate as I know they didn’t eat at Italian red sauce. The place was tacky and the decor was cheap and place was noisy . In a shopping center that I thought I was getting mugged in if I exited my car .

The food was on the level of olive garden with the prices of casa d Angelo

Hated the place and you will too .

I was skeptical about trying an Italian restaurant in Sunrise since the majority of them range from awful to mediocre in a sparse environment BUT was pleasantly surprised by this place since the decor reminded me of old school Italian restaurants that you don’t find anymore. Food was good to very good and even single portions were huge. Had gnocchi with short ribs which was gigantism for one, three chunky people would have been full on one portion. Not sure if the short ribs were of top quality but was good nonetheless. The gnocchi was a little on the heavier side but again good. My wife and I also shared chicken parmagiana which also was good although of a portion that yes one person could finish. We also had burnt cauliflower which was great. We followed with their homemade zeppolis which needs to be reworked or eliminated and tartufo which was very good. This is a great family style restaurant and a very good value. Given their bizarre choice of location I hope they can survive long term.Including 4 glasses of wine, tax and tip the price was surprisingly reasonable at about $100. Nice touch that the owner came out and introduced himself and asking our opinion of the food.

Inconsistent Red Sauce

We won’t be back
