plate of pasta

🇮🇹 Stop #1: Italy

Mamma Mia Bistro – 2043 Wilton Dr, Wilton Manors, FL | Visit Website

If comfort food had an accent, it would sound Italian. Family-owned Mamma Mia Bistro serves authentic Italian cuisine made with recipes that feel like they’ve been passed around the dinner table for generations. While the homemade pastas and classic entrées are always popular, make sure you start your meal with the Meatballs Trio appetizer. Featuring three meatballs topped with pesto, tomato, and truffle sauces, it’s a delicious introduction. 


plated greek food

🇬🇷 Stop #2: Greece 

Ethos Greek Bistro – 2055 Wilton Dr, Wilton Manors, FL | Visit website

Bright Mediterranean flavors, warm pita, grilled specialties, fresh seafood, and generous portions come together in a lively atmosphere that captures the spirit of Greece. One of the best ways to experience it all is with the Spread Sampler, featuring four traditional Greek spreads served with warm pita before diving into one of their generous mixed platters. And if you’ve only been to Ethos for dinner, consider stopping by for weekend brunch. It’s another delicious way to experience this neighborhood favorite.
