Wine Garden

Tucked along Breakers Avenue in Fort Lauderdale's charming North Beach Village, Wine Garden is an intimate Italian bistro and wine bar built around a leafy, lantern-lit outdoor courtyard. Just steps from Fort Lauderdale Beach, this neighborhood hideaway invites guests to unwind beneath tropical foliage while exploring an international wine list of Italian, French, and California bottles.

The scratch Italian kitchen prepares artisanal thin-crust pizzas, imported burrata with prosciutto di Parma, beef carpaccio, and house-made pastas including truffle gnocchi, tagliatelle Bolognese, and seafood linguine, with gluten-free pasta and pizza crusts available on request. Daily late-afternoon happy hour specials make it a favorite gathering spot for wine flights and Italian tapas.

Because the heart of Wine Garden is its breezy open-air garden patio, leashed dogs are welcomed like family at the outdoor tables every evening of the week. Servers are always happy to bring out cool water bowls and offer a friendly greeting to four-legged guests lounging beneath the courtyard palms. Whether you are sharing a bottle of Chianti and a burrata pizza under the twinkling string lights or stopping by for daily happy hour bites after a beach walk, this North Beach Village oasis makes dining out with your dog effortless.
