Best Cafe & American Restaurant

Lucille’s American Café

2250 Weston Road www.lucillescafe.com

954-384-9007

Lucille’s in Weston opened in 1999. They play 50’s-60’s music which is classic and timeless. The décor speaks of old Miami, art deco/retro with dark woods, black, and seafoam green with a beautiful patio overlooking a lake. The ambiance makes mealtime a time for friends and family to share the stories that unite us while enjoying classic comfort food favorites like mom and grandma have always made.

There is seating for 150, with 110 in the dining room and 40 on the lakeside patio. Lucille’s offers comfort food made from scratch, with love, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere and is open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. We love the scratch-made classics like meatloaf, chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese, macadamia chicken, as well as homemade dressings, soups, gravy, applesauce, and BBQ sauce!

Best Italian Restaurant

Zona Blu

189 Weston Road www.ZonaBluWeston.com

954-617-7999

Zona Blu offers a unique dining experience that sets it apart from traditional Italian restaurants. Known for its success in Weston for over seven years, Zona Blu recently opened a second location in West Palm Beach. Both locations specialize in cuisine from Sardinia, a Mediterranean island designated by National Geographic as one of the world’s five Blue Zones where people often live past 100 years. Diners can indulge in authentic Sardinian cuisine and culture at Zona Blu.

Their menu offers a variety of dishes native to Sardinia, as well as traditional Italian favorites. The extensive wine list includes a large selection of Sardinian wines. The Zona Blu Bar offers signature cocktails, some of which are made with Mirto, a unique Sardinian liqueur.

Zona Blu’s specialties include two distinct pasta dishes: Spaghetti alla Ruota and Spaghetti al Cartoccio. The former is made tableside by tossing the pasta of the day inside a giant wheel of hollowed-out Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, aged 36 months and imported from Italy. The latter features spaghetti mixed with seafood in a fresh tomato sauce, covered with a thin layer of pizza dough, and baked to perfection in Zona Blu’s wood-burning oven. Other menu highlights include fregola (a pasta similar to Israeli couscous) and gnocchetti (small, hand-rolled pasta).

Best Pizza

Pizza Lovers Bistro

1691 Bonaventure Blvd www.PizzaLoversBistro.com

954-314-7099

Salvatore Granata, also known as “Toti,” was born in Catania, the second-largest city in Sicily renowned for its Mediterranean culinary tradition. His passion for cooking originated from the city’s rich gastronomic heritage. He furthered his skills by studying at the Scuola Italian Pizzaioli in Venice, where he worked alongside Chef Graziano Bertuzzo, the World Pizza Champion.

After establishing businesses and restaurants in Spain, Italy, and Latin America, Toti, with his wife Paola and daughters Nicole and Martina, arrived in the United States in 2016. They launched Pizza Lovers Bistro with a clear objective: to serve authentic Italian cuisine using highquality ingredients at an affordable price. The restaurant prepares its food fresh daily, utilizing techniques passed down through generations.

What sets Pizza Lovers Bistro apart is the attention given to preparing each pizza. For instance, the pizza dough is kneaded and allowed to rise for 48 hours, resulting in a lighter, more digestible pizza with an irresistible aroma. With such meticulous care and attention to detail, it’s no surprise that Pizza Lovers Bistro was voted Best Pizza in Weston!
