Anthony’s Clam House: Secure Your Seat at Fort Lauderdale’s Premier, Go-To Italian Gem

From the moment you pass through the etched double-door entrance, the message is clear: Anthony’s Clam House is an experience defined by modern sophistication and meticulous standards. This is the “go-to” destination that raises the bar against every other Italian establishment in the area.

The décor, immediately noticeable for its modern yet elegant touch and impeccable cleanliness, sets the stage for a truly elevated meal. Under the keen eye of owner Walter Hernandez, this gem maintains a level of polish that suggests it opened yesterday, even as it celebrates a successful first year. The atmosphere is complemented by gracious Maitre’D service and a team of true professionals, like Roberto from Naples, Italy, who will expertly guide you through the formidable wine list.

The cuisine is a revelation of authentic quality and generous portions. The appetizers, such as the Grilled Octopus with Sautéed Broccoli Rabe and the Clams Casino, are not only beautifully presented but burst with flavor. The signature Linguine Vongole is a masterpiece; its sauce is so out of this world delicious, you may find yourself tempted to break decorum.

Though larger than it appears—featuring multiple dining rooms and a huge wine cellar—Anthony’s fills up fast. This is a highly sought-after destination, and your access is dependent on planning.

The kitchen’s dedication to quality extends through every course: all desserts, including the exquisite Tiramisu and Italian Ricotta Cheese Cake, are crafted “in house.”

Don’t miss the key opportunities to enjoy this celebrated spot: Happy Hour runs 7 days a week from 3 PM to 6 PM and features special menu items unavailable at any other time.

To avoid disappointment and guarantee your entry into this exclusive dining experience, reservations are not just suggested—they are essential. Secure your table on OpenTable.com immediately, or you risk missing out on Fort Lauderdale’s definitive Italian authority.
