Afterwards, cruise around the shops and attractions of Ft Lauderdale in your convertible rental or sports car rental and make it an evening!

John the Baker
John the Baker is one of those hidden-gem restaurants in Fort Lauderdale that the locals try to keep secret. However, with Italian cuisine this good, the cat was let out of the bag long ago. John the Baker was opened in 1960 by the Scinicariello family who immigrated from Italy. To this day they use authentic recipes, hand-make their own sausage and refuse to use chemical additives, fryers and microwaves. Eat their Chicken Marsala Dinner, Fresth Garlic and Cheese Pizza, or Baked Ziti and you will see how their meticulous attention to detail and refusal to take shortcuts translates into lunch and dinner sensations.
