Livia Bar and Grill is an Italian-leaning restaurant and bar in Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village, best for happy hour cocktails, group dinners, and lively Sunday brunch with live entertainment.

About Livia Bar and Grill

Livia Bar and Grill sits tucked inside a ground-floor suite on North Andrews Avenue in the Flagler Village pocket of downtown Fort Lauderdale. The interior leans refined and stylish with a trendy-but-relaxed energy, while the outdoor patio has a more industrial feel that suits the neighborhood’s converted-warehouse character. Plenty of TVs keep sports fans covered, yet regulars and staff greet each other by name, giving the place a genuine neighborhood-bar warmth underneath the polished surface.

The kitchen runs an Italian-forward menu with comfort-food instincts. Guests regularly single out the truffle potato gnocchi, rigatoni alla vodka, dirty mac and cheese, and Sunday sauce meatball as standouts. Mains like branzino and chicken francese round out a dinner card that works for date night or a group spread. Desserts, especially the tiramisu and creme brulee, close things out well. Sunday is brunch day, running from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., sometimes as a buffet with live entertainment including a DJ and trumpet player. The French toast draws repeat orders.

Happy hour is a strong draw on the bar side. The cocktail list covers classics, negroni, old fashioned, aperol spritz, espresso martini, and the beer and wine selections are broad enough to satisfy browsing drinkers. Bar bites during happy hour keep the tab friendly at a spot that otherwise trends toward moderate pricing.

Service gets consistent praise, with bartender Fey and server Edo earning name-drops across dozens of reviews. The team accommodates kids (custom pasta dishes on request), groups, private events, and birthday celebrations with cake-and-song fanfare. Livia is open Wednesday through Saturday for dinner and Sunday for brunch, closed Monday and Tuesday. Reservations are recommended for both brunch and dinner.

Nice hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale. The ambiance was very calm and enjoyable. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The services was amazing and attentive. My wife had the Rigatoni Alla Voka with Meatball added. I had the Mafaldine Bolognese. Both dishes were…
