    Not impress with this place, the food and menu look better than the taste of the food, the Ravioli didn’t taste like crab and both pastas were bland, the burratta was too cold so didn’t feel as creamy. The Branzino was pretty good and creamy So in general not in love, but decent.

    This is a lovely intimate Italian Cafe. The staff is attentive and professional. The menu is extensive. We ordered a Caesar salad a bit over dressed and pricey but lettuce was fresh. We each ordered a pasta with seafood. Both were excellent. The house wine is good and a generous pour. Wine list is extensive. They have a bar area where many regulars seem to gather. We did have an odd guest there who seemed a lot to be a regular that had multiple conversations on his speaker phone that resonated through out the whole restaurant. It was odd and did play a role in our meal. It is not the restaurants fault but wish they had asked him not do that. Worth a trip for the pasta alone.

    Great service, friendly atmosphere. The best chicken parmigiana I've tasted. The filet mignon melts like butter. They accommodated with mussels in a red sauce instead of white.... Phenomenal.

    This place was so good!! I happened upon it with my mom on a Thursday afternoon. For being in coral gables, luckily it has its own little parking which is a plus! There was only one other person eating when we walked in, but it was early and a weekday. The place looks so cute and cozy and they were playing Italian music. Very cute vibes. Service was very attentive and professional but the food. WOW! I ordered spaghetti with pink sauce and chicken and my mom got a risotto with mushrooms, asparagus, and shrimp. Both were amazing and super flavorful! I legit couldn’t wait to have leftover for work the next day. We also shared the garlic rolls and omg.. to die for. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and super garlicy and parmesan-y, lol. Def recommend!

    The service was amazing. They treated my group of 15 with such grace. I have never had this experience anywhere in Miami. AMAZING, and the food was so good. Great wine selection as well

    Quaint little Italian restaurant on the border of Coral Gables. Parking is directly behind building, note there is limited spots. Menu is ample, with plenty of options. Pricing is a bit higher than expected for most plates. I opted for the Fettuccini with pink sauce and broiled chicken. The order came wrong, but the waiter quickly recognized, and corrected the issue and brought out the corrected plate within minutes. The pasta was good overall, but I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.

    The food was horrible at best, and way overpriced, $193.29 with out gratuity, the pizza was cool and tasteless , my wife order the lamb ribs and they were overdone and had a very bad foul smell to it, the Ossobuco that the other couple order was also cool and tasteless and according to them also had a funny smell/taste. Went it came time to pay the hand written bill was wrong, the sales tax in Miami-Dade is 7% and they have their own rules and are charging 8%. Went we complained a drunken and dirty old men came out screaming in Spanish with a horrible attitude saying that he had been here for 35 years and he knew what he was doing, went I requested a copy of the hand written bill he began to make treads after a while they gave me a copy of the bill. The food is way overpriced, tasteless and rotten, for a neighborhood run down place like this and yes I will be filling a complaint with the Florida Department of Revenue. Save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else

    Nice place. Excellent service and the prices are really good. The quality of the food is amazing, the most important, the restaurant can charge you more for anything in the menu but they don’t do that

    Unique dinner experience in the wine cellar. They have a great wine collection. Book that room to have fun checking out all the bottles and labels. The ossobuco is fantastic.

    The place: comfortable and cozy place to have a family or friend reunion. Warm light and vintage ambient. The service: excellent!!! We have never had to worry in call someone, they were there for us at all times, glasses full of water and wine always. The food: really tasty, good presentation and in time. The creeps with caramel are fire!!! 90% recommended!!!

    Main entrees were really good. I would avoid the garlic bread as it has an overabundance of minced garlic that you need to remove 95% of the garlic and still its not up to snuff. A good garlic bread has a little garlic butter on it. The wait staff and main course were awesome though. Atmosphere was nice, though it was a quiet evening when we went. They charge an 18% Service Charge. Overall 4/5.

  • 5/5 Kush P. 1 year ago on Google
    This place deceives you from the outside. The interiors though are super cosy and nice. The servers are so sweet. Their Italian has an American touch to it but I am not complaining about it. I like the slightly extra cheesy touch. Their garlic bread was also quite good.

  • 4/5 Jessica Perigault R. 11 months ago on Google
    I can't rate the atmosphere because it was a take out. My husband ordered a lasagna and this time wasn't as good as the last time, about three months ago. For the price he was expecting better. We then went to Olive garden two weeks later and he loved their lasagna. So, you be the judge, go a try both.

  • 5/5 Ximena H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is very good. Did not dine in, but ordered for delivery and was not disappointed. Both times we ordered it took about an hour for the food to be delivered, which they did state would be the case. The only thing that I didn’t like is that they do not offer anything to drink for delivery but other than this, I would definitely order again

  • 2/5 Catriel L. 1 year ago on Google
    It used to be a great place. Food still is good. Service is HORRIBLE. Having to wait to have our order taken when the place is almost empty is ridiculous. Only an Argentine lady was candid and took care of our table while it wasn’t ‘her’ table to serve. The rest of waiters etc, walking around not caring for anybody. Needs to improve. Whatever happened to America.

    My family and I have been coming to Caffe Italia for years and it only keeps getting better! The quality of food and service is always amazing! Have tried many different dishes and they are always made fresh and so delicious. Their wine selection is also the best, especially the prices. Overall, just the best place to go when you feel like eating a fresh plate of pasta, with amazing wine and a cozy homey feel.

  • 4/5 Danae L. 6 months ago on Google
    Second time visiting Caffe Italia, the ambiance is nice and the food is great! I had lamb chops and asparagus risotto and decided to go for the caramel crepes and ice cream that made my night!

  • 5/5 Geraldine V. 4 months ago on Google
    Love this little gem. Food never disappoints. Everything is fresh made and the service is friendly and fast. They're always happy to accommodate our large groups even when it's a last minute request. There isn't anything I've ordered that isn't outstanding from pizza to pasta. Amazing! Highly recommend and do try some wine and dessert. Biberon for the grande finale!

  • 5/5 Carmen Rosa C. 5 months ago on Google
    Very cozy and nice ambience. Excellent service. Specially from a lady called Mariel. And the food was just delicious. Good place to take someone special to a first date or celebrate a family reunion also. I highly recommend this place. 👌

  • 5/5 Cyndi C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been eating here for the past couple of years. Their food is absolutely amazing. It never fails. Best Italian food n Miami. Their variety of wine and pricing is the best in town. The wine room makes the place unique and cozy for those that would like a little more privacy. Staff is always welcoming and pleasant. Highly recommend this Italian gem!

  • 5/5 CE F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great small place. The parking lot is tiny, and the restaurant is somehow similar. But don't be fooled like I was at first. The chef and their dishes can definitely take you to Milan, Naples or Buenos Aires yes the owner is Argentinian. Great flavor and great portions. I am still trying their dishes. They also have a great wine selection. Enjoy!!!
