"I have been going to Spazio for years. It is always good. It is reasonably priced for the area. My kids were in middle and high school when we started going there and it is one of their favorite restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale."

"It was a very nice restaurant with a view of the beach from its terrace and a cool interior. There was a bar in the center of the room and at night it must be quite beautiful with the way the lighting is set up. We had to ask for bread but we were completely alone inside and there were a few tables taken up outside. The food took some time to come out but it was delicious and visually appealing. The desert choices were fantastic in that they had a wide variety."

"We found this place for breakfast while walking along the ocean. The view can't be better, the food was good, the service was friendly and attentive. So we decided to try it for dinner. Dinner was delicious, nice menu, reasonable prices, big portions. And the staff, from the hostess to the wait staff to the busboys continue to be attentive, helpful and very friendly."

"The Food at Spazio is good. The scene is lively. The view is fantastic.
The service is random, chaotic, and belligerent.
It took three times for the server to bring the correct order to the table and offered no apologies each time he brought the wrong order.
The table next to us received the wrong pizza order but decided to keep it as they were in a hurry.
To add insult to injury, Spazio automatically includes gratuity on the bill (I realize they do this because of the large number of international travelers that visit).
If they automatically add gratuity and you don't feel it's worth it, you can and you should ask to have it removed.
Food and Service go hand-in-hand; Spazio hasn't gotten the memo.

"We were there during Spring Break, so we should not expect perfection perhaps but their menu was the same full price.... The food was good, but the staff, across the board was just not trained much at all. The hostess was seating anyone anywhere, if they pushed past the short line to get in and got to her first and when we asked for our check at the end the server spent about 5 minutes first making two trips to clear our table and only THEN going to server station to total our bill and bring it. We didn't experience any of these issues at other places on this trip"

"Went for a nice relaxing meal and they serve way too fast, tried to get them to slow down but the food server just dumped the plates on the table. By the main course there was no room left on the table. Not the place to go unless you are in a hurry then it is too expensive for fast food."

"After reading the other reviews, we were confused. Our experience was that the food was very good and the service was terrible. The brick oven pizza was delicious. Our server was miserable and unfriendly, he never bothered to ask how the food was, didn't even return to the table from the time he took the order until after we had finished eating. Gratuity was added to our check, and definitely exceeded what the server had earned, we felt like they were stealing from us."

"Picked this spot because its on the beach and its Italian-my favorite type food. Service was good - including changing served wine to another when my wife complained. Food delivery was reasonably prompt and courteous . Food was at best average. Value for price below average. Noise levels approached rock concert ear damage--no way to hear your table partner. Tip was included in bill---no option. Guess others have been so disappointed they left no tips . Tables so close to each other it seems like your neighbor is really part of your group. Would not recommend and we will not be back--we live in Boca Raton."

"Finally! A decent restaurant in the Beach! My only concern is if the blast the night club music at night. We were there for lunch and it was very relaxing. Hopefully they don't play techno music in the evening..if not I'd dine here often."
