Palm Beach Gardens

For a neighborhood Italian in Palm Beach Gardens, Limoncello is punching well above its weight — a focused, Italy-only list with serious producers, fair prices, and a daily half-price program that makes drinking well here almost too easy. Send your friends here, but warn them: the Barolo section is a rabbit hole.

La Masseria is the rare PGA Boulevard restaurant that earns its wine credibility through the actual list, not just the ambiance. The pricing is what it is at this tier, but if Italian wine is your thing, this is one of the better rooms in South Florida to drink it.

Three sommeliers, a 300-plus bottle list anchored by the best of Italy and California, half-price wine on Wednesdays, and a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence — Carmine's earns the Rager badge without breaking a sweat. Send your friends here, and go on a Wednesday.

Café Chardonnay earned its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence and wears it honestly — this is a list with real intention behind it, staffed by someone who actually knows it. Markups lean steep as expected for the zip code, but if you're going to splurge on a wine dinner in Palm Beach Gardens, this is the room to do it in.
