Riviera by Fabio Viviani Fort Lauderdale

Riviera by Fabio Viviani is at 525 S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. The entrance is a five-minute walk from the sand at Fort Lauderdale Beach.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real utility is the focus on Italian and Mediterranean seafood rather than the standard beach-bar fare. While much of the waterfront prioritizes high-volume turnover, this kitchen keeps a formal pace. It is a necessary counterweight to the neighboring bars that prioritize quantity over the plate. If you want a dinner that ignores the tourist foot traffic of the local strip, this is the place to settle in.
