Yelp’s Top 100 Restaurants: These South Florida Spots Made the List

It is no surprise that South Florida is home to some of the most delicious cuisine.

This March, Yelp released its list of top 100 restaurants in the state, and a whopping 34 South Florida eateries made the cut.

Whether you're looking for a quick bite to eat, or a delectable dining experience, the following restaurants are just a drive away in sunny South Florida.

Here are the top 10:

This hole-in-the-wall date spot, specializes in island-style pastas and fresh seafood. According to Sicilian-bred owner Luca Mirone, guests go to this South Florida eatery for an evening of "good food, good wine, good desserts, and lively conversation."

Whether you order their rigatoni with pesto, their bucatini with mussels, or their gnocchi with clams and shrimp all dishes are based on Luca's family recipes.

Seating just 30 customers at a time, Mirone opened the restaurant near Fort Lauderdale's Galt Mile neighborhood after a globe-trotting consulting career.

Among their most popular dishes is their pasta Bolognese which has a sauce that's slow-cooked for five to six hours.

Pizza is king at this little Miami spot.

You can also get imported wheat pastas with scratch-made sauces, but co-owner Tim Dimas said "no steak dinners, chicken dinners, or big fish-style dishes."

From their Tartufata pizza served with mushrooms and truffle sauce or their delicious Fettuccine alla Salsiccia e Funghi with sausage, mushrooms, and white truffle cream sauce, returning customers appreciate the fresh ingredients.

If you're looking for something to order, try their top-selling Paccheri alla Genovese which is a tube pasta in sauce loaded with tender short ribs.

The hip and casual dining room has an open kitchen and fun decor, including a wall papered with Thai posters. In fact, reviewers praise the setting and service just as much as the food.

If you're looking for delicious coconut curry street food, try their Khao Soi.
