Mortaranos - Ft. Lauderdale, FL - Review

Ok so supposedly this is a celebrity chefs restaurant. It definatly was over the top with extremely loud music, but it turns into a club after hours so this is to be expected. The service was exceptional from start to finish.
The food - the four of us had a Tom of food ordered:
Apps
Caesar salad - fresh crisp homemade dressing and croutons- very good, AirTran to much dressing for me
Broccoli rabe and meatball - again homemade meatball, delicious and the rave very tender and the roc rabe not bitter at all. Probably par blanched then sautéed.
Meatball with fresh ricotta and green salad, just as good as above.
Grilled octopus - very tender with red onion and very good Sicilian olive oil.
I had the fresh spaghetti puntanesca which was cooked perfectly aldente and the sauce was extremely tasty with the capers, olives and pieces of tuna, a variation. It well executed.
The other had fresh pappardelle Bolognese, fresh fusilli with breaded chicken and veal Milanese. Everyone commented on how excellent their dinners were and we all left very full.
1 bottle of wine, 2 bottles of Perrier and a bill of 300 before tip, Pricey one would say, but worth it in my opinion. I would recommend this for a nice fun night out.
