What it is

A waterfront Italian restaurant on the West Palm intracoastal that does handmade pasta with enough seriousness to earn the price point. The brunch operation is the sleeper hit — breakfast pizzas, bottomless mimosas, and a view that makes you temporarily forget what you're paying in rent.

What to order

  • Handmade pasta — whatever's seasonal on the board.
  • Breakfast pizza at brunch. It works.
  • Negroni on the patio if the sun's cooperating.

Floyorker take

The waterfront-restaurant trap in Florida is usually all view, no food. Elisabetta's reverses the equation. The view is a bonus; the pasta is the reason.
