    I really don’t understand the good reviews for this restaurant. Service was very good but slow. Atmosphere was so-so. The food was the real surprise here: for a place claiming to offer real Italian food, it was the furthest thing from it I’ve tasted. Tried the pizza, pasta and fried calamari. The Parmesan tastes like dried out cheddar, mozzarella like melted cheddar, all the sauces were too sweet and the pizza dough was very greasy and industrially cooked. Overall really tasteless. One of the worst meals we had. That being said, this could be good by American standards, while I’m comparing it to the real deal. But foreigners be aware: it tastes nothing like Italian food.

    Great Italian Restaurant with good prices.. Good and attentive waiters (real Italian).. Wine is good! Temperature of the wine perfect and the restaurant does not care if you wish to take out your the rest of your bottle (which they pack well!!) if she's not empty. Wines by the glass are around 9 USD so it really saves you money to take a bottle from the moment you drink 4 glasses.. Pizza is delicious!! Same quality as we taste every year while skiing in Italy 🇮🇹. Pasta is truly al dente.. Also really delicious! Eggplant was well cooked.. A real Italian experience in a nice restaurant (a little hidden in a normal neighborhood towards the Northern part of south Beach).. But far better quality than the restaurants (tourist 'trap' is not the word.. but at least tourist faced) on Lincoln.

    I went to this place before the pandemic and it was beyond expected! The salmon carpaccio was delicious and highly fresh, focaccia was freshly baked and crunchy. Do not miss ordering the cannoli

    Great neighborhood pasta place. Ate here twice. The staff is wonderful. The price for the quality of food here is incredibly reasonable. Came here for lunch and dinner. It was excellent both times. I recommend the squid ink pasta with crab meat. The beef carpaccio under a mound of arugula is great as well. Real nice caprese that's served with super fresh mozzarella cheese that melts as it comes to room temperature. Came here with our twin babies and the staff was overwhelmingly accommodating.

    Best Risotto alla Pescatore in town! My wife and I love to come here. The outdoor patio is great to spend a nice time there. Highly recommend place. Try everything what you see in the menu, you wouldn't be disappointed.

    Good food. Friendly staff. The outside seating is a plus. The location is a bit rundown and there was a construction when we came here( none the restaurants fault). The steak was well prepared. Samon was quite nice and will balanced. Pizza was good but a bit on the oily side. We also ordered some dessert but I don't remember what it was.

    Delicious Italian food in the heart of Miami Beach. We found something with great flavor at a VERY reasonable price (compared to other SoBe area restaurants). Service overall was good but clumsy at times. I think the staff should huddle/chat a little less near the kitchen. Food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious 😋 I wish we would have gone back to try more because everybody’s food looked great. For dessert we had a yummy tiramisu with one of the best tasting creams I’ve ever had. Great location with easy access to many sobe amenities so stop here for grub, save a few bucks then do the fun stuff

    I love this place. I have eaten inside and in garden. I enjoyed the garden and the service. It's a local type place but if you are a newbie like I was they really make you feel welcome. Like Familia!!! My husband, a Sicilian, noted this and we appreciate that touch. I am Russian and also enjoyed. It's very laid back but people are very nice. Thank you!!!

    Most amazing place for dinner. Chef make a real magic. During one week, visited this place 5 times. We tried almost all menu items, and everything was amazing. New York forgive me, but best pizza in the world is here. If you ever visit Miami, don't loose a chance visit this place too.

    I don’t understand these positive reviews. If you think their pizza is the best ever, I feel sorry for you because you haven’t tasted the real deal! The pizza is way too fatty and salty, the oil was just simmering with the ingredients. The pizza dough and size is good though. The tuna tartar was crazy big! And I loved it. That’s why this place got 3 stars instead of 1. The service in this place is good, and the staff can give you really nasty looks if you don’t tip them at the end.

    Absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! The waiter was warm and attentive, the rose wine was perfect, I took the crab black linguine and loved it! The tiramisu was so delicious! The outside garden is charming, I will definitely be back! This place has great food, ambience and Italian soul!!

😠 I almost never write bad reviews. But visiting this place, I feel cheated. I ordered pasta Bolognese - OH my God, it's terrible!! Not a single piece of minced meat, only raw pasta and poured with tomato sauce. How?! How can this be offered?!? After that, my stomach hurt all day. ..But the most i...
