    Hands down, the absolute BEST restaurant in Coral Gables. Everything from the food, to the service, was perfect. Chef Manuel Garcia is truly a master of his craft, and I look forward to the next time I’ll have the chance to try this place again. Recommended 100%.

    Beautiful place! It looks so fancy and delicate. If you’re looking for a cute place to have lunch or dinner you have to go to Zucca. The food is delicious. I like trying new gourmet restaurants and this one will definitely stay on my top ones in Miami. I tried it during Miami Spice and I felt in love with it. If you like finde dining this is the place to go!

    Perfect place for a romantic dinner..Everything was really nice, decoration is pretty, food was perfect, the bread is one of the best I ever tried and the tiramisu home made was WOW! Our server Francisco, it was specially attentive and very kind when I confused my order of cheese. Music was cool and not so loud. We had a great time in Zucca, definitely we will come back. Update: we came back for anniversary and it was great too. All the staff is incredible attentive. I tried the sea bass fish and it was outstanding.

    Another awesome meal at Zucca. Whenever we’re in the Miami area, we visit this beautiful restaurant. We inadvertently made reservations on the wrong date but the staff were kind enough to offer us the last available table. The food was absolutely delicious! And the restaurant is beautiful. Perfect for a romantic evening.

    Delightful Italian cuisine in Coral Gables. The restaurant is modern European in decor with intimate low lighting contrasted with a crisp white marble bar. Food is impeccable- the pastas are the star due to their deliciously springy texture and companion sauces. Service is immediate and happy to accommodate both questions and requests. A true star of the down town coral gables area, don't miss it.

    Yes. You have to come here at least once. We booked a private room because I wanted my Grandparents to be safe and it was just a nice area and vibe for bday and Mother’s Day dinner. Beautiful flowers on the table and IMPECCABLE service! Mateo was an absolute delight in making sure everyone was happy the entire dinner. He literally went over the moon I couldn’t be happier. I ordered the gnocchi and apparently it’s handmade and stuffed. It looks small but I was full with 1 left. Definitely a deceiving dish try it! The mushrooms on it melted in my mouth the dish was just so much better than I anticipated. The zucchini flowers are also absolutely immaculate. The dinner was just perfect in every sense and the dessert was icing on the cake. Soooo good and will definitely be back.

    Excellent meal and service. Leisurely and elegant. Everything we had was good from the salad to the sea bass and prawns and octopus (two different ways we). All in all a very pleasant evening and worthwhile. Would go again.

    My husband I came here for my birthday dinner tonight and it was one of the best experiences we've had in Miami! We we're greeted by the managers Alessio and Louie who did their everything to make this a wonderful experience for us as well as all the amazing servers! We we're overwhelmed with joy by the fantastic service and the amazing food (my husband is Italian and super picky when it comes to Italian food) and we can't wait to come back here with family and friends! This is our new favorite place! Thank you Zucca for this amazing experience, you made us feel so special!

    Beautiful, high end restaurant with amazing service and food. We did the Miami Spice menu option for lunch and it was so good. Can’t wait to come back and try out the rest of the dishes and come for dinner. The location is perfect, and the ambience is very serene and elegant, perfect place to go for a special occasion. You can also sit at the bar and eat from the full menu if you want less of fancy vibe. Highly recommend!!

    Amazing food, service and ambiance! We chose Zucca for a graduation dinner and best dining experience in our 4 years at the U! Food and spectacular wine list are on point! If you want elegance with a welcoming vibe--this is your place! Don't leave without their homemade, specialty dessert drink-see pic! Thankful my daughter will be doing her masters so we can enjoy this restaurant again! A big thank you to the manager and incredible staff for a memorable celebration dinner!

    Zucca is my go to destination for genuine Italian. The extensive menu offers well prepared dishes and the inviting interior and comfortable seating enhances the overall experience. Be sure to say hello to Claudia, who will greet you with a welcoming smile as you arrive.

    Zucca is an upscale Italian restaurant in Coral Gables. The service is fast, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere is great - it’s got great lighting, soft music, and elegant dish ware. The only way this restaurant falls short is the food:price ratio. The food is good, but it is not good enough to warrant the price. The lobster was tough/overcooked, and the clam linguini was entirely too salty. The burrata was tasty and fresh, but not remarkable. The saving grace was the lamb meatballs which were decadent and delicious.

  • 5/5 Sebastian S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is in another level! 💯 Great service by Grettel (hi to her). I went with family for my bday and I even got the chocolate cake for free 🎉😁 I'm very thankful! We ordered the salmon and pasta with beef. Taste was incredible, so fresh and unique. For the drink, I tried "Shakespeare in Love" 🍹 If you're an Italian food lover, please visit this place. Recommended 100% and I will definitely come back to try out more of their spectacular dishes.

    Delicious Italian restaurant. Large indoor dining space and bar area. Elegant decor and friendly service. They offer a good bottomless mimosa menu on the weekends. Oh and the Ferraro Rocher French toast is out of this world and a must try for any Nutella lover.

  • 5/5 Ernesto D. 7 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed the Miami Spice menu. From the moment you walk in it was a very positive experience. The hostess was kind and lovely, promptly brought us to our seats. The server came quickly and gave us water. Food was fantastic! Dessert was great, as was the coffee.

    I’ve been in this beautiful restaurant a lot of times. My husband and me, we decided to choose ZUCCA to celebrate our special wedding day. It was an intimate lunch but it was so beautiful. Thanks to our waitress(she was so nice), thanks to the Italian manager that talked with me the day before the celebration, helping me in everything, thanks to Lorena(the event coordinator) that helps you make your dream come true, even if you’d like to have something simple. Ever since we arrived, we were greeted with a smile from all the staff. Thank you to ZUCCA, and Lorena again, to giving us a little present and for celebrating us all the time! Thank you, see you soon.

Appetizer: TARTARE DI TONNO MARINATO, RISO VENERE E FAVE Tuna tartare marinated in Yuzu- soy sauce, with Fava beans and venere rice Entree : CAVATELLI NERI DI SEPPIA AL SUGO DI RANA PESCATRICE E GAMBERI Squid ink Cavatelli with Monk fish sauce and shrimps Desserts 1) Homemade Italian limoncello tiramisu . 2) PECORINO TOSCANO E MIELE Pecorino cheese with honey.

    Restaurant with a quiet atmosphere where you can talk, share, taste and drink, with very good recommendations from the staff, you can see that there is a great, very professional work team. We had a snack with a bottle of wine recommended by the house which was excellent, we will surely return. 100% recommended….

    Enjoyed the food we ordered, and fast service, the drinks and wine menu are endless! Server had trouble understanding us when ordering and messed up the final bill but overall experience is positive. Note that 18% tips are automatically added to the final check.

    The service was amazing since we got there. Food was incredible and the drinks were so perfect .. this place have a nice ambiance and the servers are very friendly. I will definitely will come back again

  • 3/5 Gabriela B. 1 year ago on Google
    Just average. Might come back to try other plates. Maybe because I just came back from Italy, the plates seemed to be just average. The ones I would recommend are the risotto of the day (with sea food), the Carpaccio Di “Wagyu and the Ricotta cheese cheesecake with mixed berries (fresh and not overly sugary). If you like cocktails I would suggest the Elizabeth with Lychee & apple, Zyr Vodka, Aperol, roses, lemon juice. The place is nice and the service was fine. I would give it a second chance.

  • 5/5 Ivon F. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant it’s perfect to enjoy a beautiful time. Excellent plates, list of wine, champagne etc, the waitress was amazing, she know very well the menu and she now how to entertain with a special drink. Perfect perfect and todo.

  • 5/5 Sabino P. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been to zucca for lunch for the first time and it was amazing. We had the wagyu carpaccio and the octopus as appetizers and they were Fabolous. After that we had the salmon and then my favorite dish the filet minion, the meat was amazing and well cook and the potatoes were great. Last touch was the amazing cocktail with grappa presentation and flavor were 10. The service was great the manager Louis welcomed us and entertained us with his carisma, Erick our waiter was knowledgeable and super attentive.

  • 5/5 Chanel D. 1 year ago on Google
    We were promptly seated at the table. The hostess was very accommodating to all our last minute changes. Every single dish was amazing. It’s one of the few places in Miami that has amazing food and such great service.10/10 Our waiter was very attentive. He prepared us a delicious sgroppino drink to finish our dinner. The manager approached us and took photos of my family. I absolutely recommend Zucca.

  • 4/5 Bob R. 2 years ago on Google
    Upscale restaurant that looks cool inside and also has nice outdoor seating. Food was good but the cacio e pepe was disappointing. It wasn't authentic and the sauce was more of an alfredo.

  • 5/5 sofia r. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience, delicious food, the servers are very attentive. The sitting outside is beautiful decorated. I tried pasta and my husband the gnocchi, everything was delicious.

  • 5/5 Yoselyne V. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m super happy and overwhelmed with joy as I write this review. The service is exceptional and the food is just amazing. I called last minute for reservations for 14 and was taken care of. My wedding reception was just beautiful! Ricardo was the best server and very attentive and caring with everything! I will definitely be going there more often. The prices were very reasonable and the food was authentic Italian. Thank you Zucca and Ricardo for having us and making our special day memorable

  • 5/5 Essined M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of Miami’s best choices if you’re a Italian food lover . Staff is amazing and it is a fine restaurant. Food was incredible so good and the tuna carpaccio was our favorite one . We went there to celebrate our friend birthday and i can’t complain . The atmosphere is so fancy inside or outside. Parking was so easy ( In the street ) and don’t leave before trying the tiramisu
