Casa D'Angelo

Founded by Chef Angelo Elia, Casa D'Angelo in Fort Lauderdale is one of South Florida's most celebrated fine-dining Italian restaurants, situated in the Sunrise Square plaza along North Federal Highway. Alongside its elegant dining room, the restaurant offers covered outdoor terrace seating where guests can enjoy white-tablecloth Italian cuisine with their well-behaved leashed dogs. Located in one of Fort Lauderdale's most popular dining corridors, the establishment pairs convenient parking and easy sidewalk access with a laid-back South Florida indoor-outdoor layout.

Rooted in authentic Tuscan and regional Italian traditions, the kitchen prepares fresh artisanal pastas, wood-roasted meats, and Adriatic seafood daily. Signature dishes include burrata with aged prosciutto di Parma, homemade pappardelle with wild boar ragu, truffle-scented mushroom risotto, Dover sole piccata, grilled rack of veal chop, and classic ricotta cannoli.

Complemented by an internationally recognized cellar of over a thousand Italian and California wines, the attentive staff ensures both two-legged and four-legged guests feel pampered on the shaded terrace. For dog owners seeking an elevated evening of authentic Italian gastronomy in Fort Lauderdale, Casa D'Angelo sets the gold standard. Open throughout the week for locals and visitors exploring Fort Lauderdale with their pups, the outdoor seating area provides plenty of shade, cool breezes, and space between tables for leashed dogs of all sizes to rest comfortably while their owners dine.
