Small restaurant run by the former executive chef of the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne. He really knows what he's doing. High end Italian dishes to die for. Never knew anyone who didn't really like this place.

I am a huge Italian loving foodie that has lived in the west palm beach area for 25 years.. How did this restaurant escape me?? I have dined at them all and needing something different I looked locally at Trip Advisor and found Vagabondi. This is truly a well kept secret for many of the islanders. Very small, only 10 tables but intimate and not crowded. Wine only for alcohol. The menu has about 8 appetizers and 8 entrees. There were 4 blackboard specials. Service was on target. Bread offered was an olive Italian crusty selection served with a seasoned olive oil with a hint of rosemary. A nice palate teaser for what was coming. I started with pecino peppers stuffed with goat cheese served with arugula/balsamic and fried eggplant that was sliced so thin you know there was an expert chef with a great mandolin back there! It all came together beautifully. My entree was Fettuccine which was freshly made and tosses with mushrooms and tomatoes, and a wonderful truffle sauce topped with shaved parmigiana. This dish is making me salivate just describing it! That first bite with the pop of truffle was exquisite! I will now be one of the locals here for sure. Reservations are a must and it is a seasonal restaurant.

Whenever we invite guests to join us at Vagabondi restaurant in west palm beach, Florida, we always have to give them very explicit directions or else we'll get a frantic phone call..."help, we're losi!".....this tucked away spot, with only thirty five seats, is a hidden jewel, favored by well travelled foodies from neighboring Palm Beach....the parking lot fills up with expensive gleaming new European imports and the stylish crowd inside makes it feel like a private beachside club on the Mediterranean....amazing fresh catch fish of the day highlights the menu with the freshest of fresh salads, pasta like your imaginary grandmother used to make and nightly beef and chicken specials, along with homemade sweets and an impressive, well priced wine list....Fernando heads up the room and Carlos creates magic in the kitchen, tho he frequently pops out from behind the stove to check in with diners at every table....if you didn't know better you would think you were in an discovered fishing village in Italy or France....every meal we've had at Vagabondi has been memorable....we're going tonite as a matter of fact, which prompted us to write this review...Ciao!
