Riviera Focacceria Italiana (@rivierafocacceriamiami) is that small neighborhood Italian restaurant you've been looking for. The mushroom is one of the best dishes of pasta I've ever had. Enough said 😋... oh, and did I mention they are puppy friendly? 🐶 The nutella dessert was a bit underwhelming- maybe the description needs to be modified to avoid let downs. I would go for the fruit version next time Highly Recommend: foccacia, pulpo carpaccio, mushroom pasta! ➡️follow me on instagram @miamicheatdays for more recommendations!

Amazing place! We have finally found our favorite Italian restaurant in Miami. Every plate we have tried was delicious! We have come back 3 times in one week and we definitely we will be back again soon

There's something really special about a restaurant where the owner takes time to explain and serve the dishes to each customer. When you visit Riviera Focacceria Italiana, you will find just that. Not only was all the food delicious, but the service felt personalized and not rushed whatsoever. I definitely recommend this restaurant, because there is definitely something for everyone there.

Welcome to Liguria! Here the food is delicious, all the dishes taste amazing, highly recommend for Italians that want to feel at home!! Last but not least the service is super friendly, efficient and fast!

I left the hotel and walked 1.7 miles off of a single picture i saw someone else post. I dare say this was the best Italian meal I have ever had, and yes, I have been to Italy about 5 times.

Probably the best focaccia I've ever had. Great service too. Overall a very reliable restaurant. Consistently good high quality renditions of traditional style Italian food.

What I truly admire of Riviera is, they march to the beat of their own drum. I'm pleased to say I have not been disappointed. Riviera was actually one of the first restaurants I dined in when I first moved to Miami. Tonight I was lucky enough, to have been welcomed, when in reality they didn't have to being it was last minute. Nonetheless Henry welcomed us in with such positivity. I cannot stress, how this truly turned our rainy night around. The service is nothing short of spectacular. We really felt catered to. Henry recommends great suggestions, from entrées to drinks if needed. Henry has a refreshing attitude and by far knowledgeable. My meal was fresh and delicious, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Yes there are many Italian restaurants to choose from in Miami but their ambiance and their great service sets Riviera apart.

Simply divine!! I have no words to describe how wonderful this restaurant is! It's really Italian food, made by Italians! Unforgettable!

Tasty authentic Italian in Miami! This is not American-Italian, but as if you are in really in Italy. Incredible fish and pasta dishes. Reminded me of Roberto's on Arthur Ave. I had breaded chicken with a fresh tomato salad. Calamari was light and fresh, sauce was even better. Excellent service. Took a client for lunch, will be going here often.

Good food, just bit pricey but I don’t regret it. Only dinner I had in Miami which was legit tasty and worth it!

Great spot for lunch. The eggplant lasagna is my most favorite dish. The branzino is really good & for appetizers I like the octopus carpaccio and burrata is a must. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Delicious food, wonderful Italian atmosphere, excellent service.

Everything was cooked to perfection. The pappardelle was perfect in bite texture. I recommend the octopus for those who like octopus. I had to fight off the other people at the table for some so maybe order two servings. All the staff were pleasant and very genial people.

A great find when we were visiting Miami. The service was definitely the best we have had during the trip. Our server, Nicolas, was really friendly and helpful. The food was mostly good, however sadly my Saffron Risotto was really salty. I’m still giving this 5 stars as the other dishes were perfection and assume this was just an anomaly.

Very cozy and welcoming spot hiding amongst the busy midtown shops. The food was excellent and service was great. We absolutely loved everything. The focaccia di recco was amazing. We loved all the dishes we ordered and were not disappointed by anything. The pasta is very fresh. Will definitely be back.

Good service! Amazing food, all fresh beautiful and tasty! Good portions All nice and clean, good prices

Simply EXCELLENT! Family owned place if I'm not mistaken and it shows. The food and service are on point. Wine selection is fantastic and suggestion by our server was perfect. I will return.

This restaurant is extremely charming. The service is personable and welcoming. The focaccia is really special. Their mushroom pasta is amazing. Looking forward to dining here again.

Loved it! Really recommend the focaccia con formaggio!

My family and I have been supporting this incredible establishment for 7 years and we are always blown away by the incredible service, food, drink and company. We are Italian and have been to Italy many times. This restaurant is authentic, brilliant Italian cuisine and often surpasses the quality you find even in Italy. We love you Paulo thank you for always taking such wonderful care of my family. ❤️ 🇮🇹

My friend who lives in Italy recommended this place as its cuisine from her region. It did not disappoint and I was impressed by the organic products as well as the diverse menu. Even if you are not a cheese person, you must try the focaccia with just cheese.
