    The service here is impeccable! Everyone was professional, courteous and friendly. The food was outstanding and the drinks were also delicious. We went for a brunch/lunch girls day and really enjoyed ourselves. They have an extensive wine list and a diverse menu. There was only one item we didn’t really care for (buttermilk biscuit and prosciutto) but everything was delicious! Mr. Angelo was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning and can’t wait to bring friends!

    I had Miami spice here. Definitely don't recommend. Service was extremely slow. Appetizer was a joke. 5 pieces of shaved cucumber. To top it off they also charge extra $5 for the steak but the menu doesn't mention it's extra. The quality of meat was poor. Had a lot of silverskin. I didn't like the dessert either. This is by far worst Miami spice experience I've had.

    After tasting that mouthwatering rigatoni bolognese I’d have to say this could possibly become an Italian favorite for moi. Sitting at the bar and interacting with the delightful Theresa was more than a bonus. Top tier when it comes to service is an understatement, Theresa takes it to another level. This is one of the best menus for this year. Many excellent options for appetizer I opted for a lighter one, that being the baby kale salad. The lemon and grated egg make all the difference for an otherwise basic salad. Let’s talk about the main character, the pièce de résistance…whole wheat rigatoni bolognese. A ragú sauce that’s finger licking good and perfectly cooked Al Dente pasta and everything in between. I couldn’t get enough of this dish and one of those that’d keep me coming back in the future. Unfortunately for dessert, as the waiter was delivering my panna cotta, he went through some trouble and dropped it on the floor, the very last one. I was bummed out but accidents happen and as a result I ended up having something called a chocolate Budino. Creamy like a custard topped with a layer of chocolate, whip cream and peanuts, maybe walnuts. It was ok but after indulging in the rigatoni, the dessert didn’t matter as much. Place is gorgeous and very classy. Again this is one I’m saving in one of my favorites collection.

    Excellence in action! Service is extraordinary, everyone is so committed to go the extra mile in everything they do here. Food was cooked to perfection with exquisite flavors and details. Cocktails and dessert were crafted so well that became unforgettable. It was a true upscale dinner experience. Worth every dollar of it! Reservation in advance is recommended.

    Our dining experience at Fiola in Coral Gables was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and sophistication, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our waiter, Juan, deserves special commendation for his impeccable service. He was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also exhibited a genuine passion for the culinary creations of Fiola. His recommendations were spot-on and added an extra layer of delight to our meal. Speaking of the meal, the food at Fiola is nothing short of a gastronomic masterpiece. We started with the Lobster, which was cooked to perfection, boasting tender, succulent meat that practically melted in our mouths. It was a true testament to the restaurant's commitment to using the finest ingredients. The highlight of the evening, however, was the Carbonara. It's not an exaggeration to say that Fiola serves one of the best Carbonaras in town. The dish was a symphony of flavors, with al dente pasta enveloped in a creamy sauce, enriched with the indulgent notes of pancetta and Parmesan. Each bite was a revelation of culinary excellence. To top off our extraordinary dining experience, the ambiance at Fiola was elegant and inviting, providing the perfect backdrop for an intimate dinner. The attention to detail in the décor and the attentive, courteous staff further enhanced our evening.

    My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary last night. And let me tell you this place was worth every penny! We ordered from Miami Spice menu and because my wife is Vegan. Chef Luis took care of our every needs and we appreciated conversing with us. Plus we had Jackie & Luis wait on all of our needs and they made sure we were taken care of. The Bread is a must!!!

    First time visit to Fiola. I came for their Miami Spice Brunch on a Sunday at opening. Service was prompt and frequent. The server was very kind and knowledgeable. They have a kids menu, surprisingly. All of the dishes were excellent. I recommend the gazpacho, carbonara and basque cheesecake. Miami spice was a good value because otherwise you're looking at $100/person with drinks. I look forward to returning.

    Great experience! We came here for Valentine’s Day, the ambience was intimate, comfortable, good background music. Our staff Leon and Noel were great! Servers came quickly and the food was AMAZING. Everything we ordered was superb and beautifully plated. With all courses and deserts and cocktails we spent about $250 for two people. We had the lobster ravioli and short rib lasagna. Would absolutely recommend and will be returning. :)

    My recent visit to Fiola was an extraordinary fine dining experience that exceeded all expectations. Our waiter, Juan, was a true gem, demonstrating an extensive knowledge of the menu and offering valuable insights into each dish and its perfect pairing. His attentive and friendly service added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. In addition, the manager, Pat, approached our table and went above and beyond to make us feel appreciated and special. As an added surprise, he made my fiancé's birthday celebration even more memorable. The food at Fiola was nothing short of immaculate. The dishes were beautifully presented, and the flavors were a perfect harmony of taste and texture. What impressed us the most was that even after indulging in multiple courses, we didn't feel overly full or bloated. Having dined in numerous fine dining restaurants before, I can confidently say that Fiola is what every fine dining experience should be. The exceptional quality of the food, combined with the outstanding service, made it well worth the price.

    From the moment we walked in till the time we left the restaurant everything was absolutely perfect. Smiling and positive faces welcomed us. Started the night with delicious cocktails, followed up by bottles of wine we picked from their enormous and excellent wine list. We like to share so we did try plenty of their food items. The one that i will never forget is the cappuccino soup from what i was speechless, never seen or tried such thing. Presentation was amazing, every dish has its own art. Service was also on a different level, the employees made us feel special. Definitely coming back sooner than planned. Thank you all for this beautiful experience🥂

    For those wishing to spend lots of money and get very little out of it, this is the place. Small portions with no flavor on some dishes and on others to much. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant, but not worth the hype. Go to Perry’s in Coral Gables.

    Food and service were great. Food was a bit too salty sometimes. Staff was professional and experienced. I celebrated my birthday there and we haven't been to Fiola before but I don't regret my decision.

    I visited Fiola with some friends for lunch. We stayed for hours because the food was so good and seasonal cocktails were delicious. Ricardo Blanco took such great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Our water glasses were always full and he made sure that our cocktails were available for the next round. Ricardo also made great recommendations and even brought us a delicious dessert! The manager Eduardo also came by to make sure our experience was exceptional and it was! The entire staff was very attentive despite the fact that the restaurant was packed! I look forward to coming back.

    From the moment I walked in, the customer service was exceptional. The staff's warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a delightful evening. What truly stood out was the incredible service provided by the manager Pat. They went above and beyond to ensure every guest had a memorable experience. Their attention to detail and passion for making guests feel welcome was evident throughout the meal. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavour and presentation. Try the chocolate CAKE ❤️

    Amazing cocktails and food 🍸 friendly bartenders and staff. Perfect for a lunch getaway with friends or romantic dinner. Really love this place. Best Bloody Mary and dirty martini as well. 😉

  • 5/5 Amber P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fiola is an outstanding restaurant offering upscale ambiance, service and food/drink choices. The menu has a few mainstays (their chocolate cake is one of our faves, as well as anything from the Raw Bar) and interchanging items, depending on what’s fresh or a new chef favorite. The Italian dishes are perfect a discerning palette, with plenty of emphasis on truffles, caviar, incredibly fresh pasta and the highest quality of fish, vegetables and meat.

    In Miami’s opulent Coral Gables neighborhood, Fabio and Maria Trabocchi opened the doors of a third location of their D.C. Michelin-starred restaurant. It has been a welcomed addition to Miami’s bustling food scene and certainly lives up to the expectations of its original location in the Nation’s capital. It’s setting is as lavish as you would expect with a modern European flair that is flanked by an 8,000 bottle wine cellar on one side and a beautiful bar on the other as well as an open kitchen in the back of it. The food can’t be expressed with enough compliments. Every single course was exceptional, generous and lavishly presented. We started with the Burrata of Mozzarella which had Pesto, Peas, Spring Favas, Almond and Parmigiano Tuile. Every taste was perfectly distinguishable and came together in your taste buds to create a smooth and savory taste. We then passed to the Cobia Ceviche which was as an impressive plate as well, surpassing my expectations for a Ceviche in an Italian establishment. For my entree, I went with the whole wheat rigatoni which had Ragu Bolognese, Foraged Mushrooms, and Parmigiano Reggiano. This is certainly one of the best pastas I’ve ever had with a perfectly made bolognese and wonderfully crafted al dente rigatoni’s. Last but not least we chose two desserts: the Vanilla Panna Cota and the Fiola Grand Chocolate Cake. The Panna Cotta was comprised of Fresh Strawberries, Strawberry Sorbet, and Amaro Sfumato to form the perfect dessert with smooth flavors and the perfect sweet spot. The chocolate cake on the other hand was much stronger yet still perfectly made to blend all its flavors. Aside from the food, the service was quite the highlight; you can tell that the staff truly cares about your satisfaction and well being. Our dinner lasted over 3 hours and not once did our servers rush us, they were just concerned in us enjoying our meal. From its opulent setting to wonderful food and even perfect playlist, the Trabocchis have created one of the best dining atmospheres and experiences in all of Miami.

    Restaurant is very good overall, on the fancy side. Food was excellent, i highly recommend the wagyu lasagna and the octopus. The chocolate dessert as well as the tiramisu are both amazing. Four stars instead of five because the service could have been better, particularly for a pricier restaurant.

  • 5/5 Chelsea S. 2 years ago on Google
    When I pulled up to valet in my little Honda Civic they kinda gave me that “are you lost look?” To my surprise the restaurant was extremely warm and very inviting especially to a single diner. My server Augustin was absolutely the best! The food as well as the presentation were excellent. I ordered the Rotolo for dinner and it tasted like “happy.” That means the food triggered an extremely happy time from my childhood and it was great recalling memories from my golden childhood. Anytime food can invoke those feelings then you know you’re at a great restaurant. I’m so bummed I didn’t take a picture of the delicious pineapple dessert they so generously gave me. I was extremely impressed how one of the owners continuously walked around the restaurant conversing with all the customers not just a few, and his interactions with the staff. I look forward to going back to Miami in the Spring next year and especially back to Fiola!

  • 5/5 Scot H. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved it. Great food. We had the burrata, along with the short rib lasagna and the rigatoni. The ragu for the rigatoni was fantastic. Massive wine list - probably too big. Attentive service worked as a team.

    In my opinion, this is the best restaurant I have ever been to period. Service was OUTSTANDING, food came out really fast but quality was exceptional. We used Miami Spice but definetely going again. 😋

  • 5/5 Ashley G. 2 years ago on Google
    I never write reviews but after visiting Fiola for the first time, I knew I had to. The food was just divine! Our server (I can’t remember his name) was so knowledgeable and attentive. Great bar, location and happy hour. The hostess Stephanie was the sweetest, she made us feel so welcome and even escorted us to the restroom. Exceptional customer service, I can’t wait to go back!

    07/02/2023 This restaurant has one of the greatest services in restaurants visited in Florida. Great attention from the manager to the servers. However, food was tasty but not for the high-end of the restaurant. The pasta was a little bit overcooked, the tuna tartare was very spicy, and the burrata didn't taste as it was because the tomato pasta was very strong in this dish. The desert I personally liked but the ice cream wasn't needed. I'll definitely come back and try different meals.

  • 5/5 Luis Armando L. 1 year ago on Google
    I got the opportunity to finally go and it didn’t disappoint. Food was great as expected. I got the chance to be with a friend that was visiting and happen to work at their DC location. Getting to know some of their philosophy and work ethic was a plus, thanks to Antonio for that.

  • 5/5 Valentina P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fiola is my all-time favorite restaurant in Miami. The quality presentation and taste of the food is absolutely impeccable. My favorite dish is the truffle pasta!! being born and raised in South Florida I’ve seen this is the only restaurant with a fine dining experience and elegant ambiance.

  • 4/5 Ani V. 1 year ago on Google
    Brunch was very good. Calm vibes, family friendly. The steak and eggs were my favorite. Fish is very fresh in the ceviche. Cocktails could be better. Service is 5 stars

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 experience from start to finish! Beautiful ambience and spectacular service. We tried many different dishes and each one was made to perfection. Incredible!

  • 5/5 Miami Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The experience was sublime. It is the perfect setting for an special occasion and to enjoy the best wine list, cocktails, food and desserts. The service was impeccable as well. We went on a Sunday to try the brunch menu, and everything was incredible. They also have a Pasta Omakase experience that we cannot wait to try. The menu is great since it has a bit of everything including Caviar and Fresh truffles to add to the dishes. We will definitely come back and recommend this restaurant to everyone.

  • 5/5 Juan D. 11 months ago on Google
    Each and every detail is taken to a whole different level at this beautiful modern Italian Gem. Service was exceptional, Chris and Dani greet us with the biggest smile and gave us all their time and attention. Food was flavorful and flawless. From the classic lobster ravioli to the fresh Florida Wahoo with the tomato, ginger and cucumber veil. Grazie Mille! First time but not last time! See you soon

  • 5/5 Gio. C. 1 year ago on Google
    The best. 5 stars are not enough for the EXPERIENCE we had dining here today. The restaurant is incredible but what really made the difference was the attention! You can feel the dedication of each of the waiters to make you feel that you are in a real top restaurant. The food was wonderful. We will be back soon for sure. One of the best in Miami.

  • 4/5 Cindy C. 10 months ago on Google
    Loved their interior decor with all their wine selection around the entire restaurant. The music loved it but it doesn’t really match with the restaurant. Service was top notch! I love a restaurant with an amazing variety of wine but one thing is that bottles are overpriced to their original price about 2 - 3 times the price. We started our night with Feudi del Pisciotto Nero d’Avola 2020 since we wanted to try a different grape but unfortunately the wine was just terrible and corky taste. Damaged big time! We even had the Sommelier from the restaurant to try it and he agreed with us. We switched to a Bodegas Mauro 2019 Tempranillo Castilla y León Red Wine. WOW absolutely stunning and powerful wine! Also overpriced but a celebration of a friend’s is worth it! For appetizers: • Sullivan Bread with Sheep’s Milk Ricotta, Honey and Thyme was delicious! The bread was cut a little difficult to break but the combination was divine! We devour it! There was too much bread for the little bit of the dip. • Bison Tartare was to die for! And the crispy thin Tuile that was accompanied was made to perfection! Love it! Must try! • Fiola Meatballs were amazing every single bite! Meatballs were so tender but the sauce wow! Must order! For entrée: • Black Winter Truffle Pasta was overly salty! I think Chef forgot he put Parmigiano Cheese once and think he added more. Unbearable to eat. I was excited to try until it finally came and wasn’t able to get a second bite. • Fiola Lobster Ravioli was super yummy! Every single bite! Lobster is extremely fresh; if you know what a fresh lobster tastes like. Definitely a must try! For Dessert: • Hazelnut Rocher was definitely a replica of a Ferrero Rocher Chocolate. Loved every bite! Parking is either PayByPhone or they have a Valet Service flat rate of $12. Valet is easy to retrieve your car and they take good care of your car.

    What an amazing dining experience! Management has this place dialed in correctly! Jose Alvero went above and beyond, he was warm and welcoming! Daniel has put together a phenomenal beverage program, top notch cocktails. Our server Jackie was knowledgeable and guided us through the menu. Her recommendations were great! This is a must visit restaurant,
