    It is a really nice place to eat, we tried the pasta it was really amazing. The vibe and atmosphere is really amazing, Walter served us, as an Italian, he could be a little short tempered as well. Overall it is good to give a try. I am sure if I would be going back again, I would like to explore more places. I put the bill and photos of our meals to share with you. Enjoy Miami Beach

    Chose this spot for my friend's birthday dinner. The food and drinks were amazing, great location, nice atmosphere and upbeat music. The prices were reasonable and comparable to other surrounding restaurants. But when trying to pay our bill, we were first double charged. When we brought this to the waiter's attention, he then brought us a receipt with items on it that we didn't even order. We spoke to a manager in an attempt to clear things up and we were then given a third receipt, which we paid, but when I checked my bank charges I noticed that we were charged a totally different amount. We went back to let him know that we were charged incorrectly again as we were never given a receipt with that amount on it. No actual explanation was offered, we were just given a fourth receipt. Very annoying situation to say the least. Especially when you're having drinks and trying to have a good time. Still not sure why everyone that we interacted with seemed so confused. Overall nice place - but be careful and pay attention when you're paying or you might get ripped off.

    Typical tourist type restaurant where the service and atmosphere are good, but the food was no better than that chain Italian place. Plus they add on 20% and still think you should tip additional $. No thank you.

    Beautiful scenery with delicious Italian cuisine. Highly recommend dining here and enjoying the full experience around the bar, lots to see inside with all the decorations that make the ambiance of the restaurant well suited for its Italian inspired meals. Must try the Cheese Wheel Pasta dish, it’s a full experience!

    Service was horrible. There was a miscommunication with payment and the server got mad and immediately turned around with an attitude that gave me discomfort. He is tall, skinny and bald. Food was great but the guy is sketchy.

    This was a super fun stop for dinner on a Saturday night after a day of shopping. We didn’t have a reservation and they managed to find us a table. We were inside. It was beautifully decorated and had a great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and super attentive. Whilst we were in there they had a song that they got the whole restaurant dancing too and swinging their napkins around too. Everyone joined in and it just added to the atmosphere. Food was delicious. Decent portion sizes, bread with garlic oil whilst waiting for dishes. Pizza was huge but they were more than happy to box the left overs up for us to take. The penne vodka pasta was also good.

    Atmosphere was good , the music was a little loud to even talk to the people in your own table. Service was okay , the server was very quiet, seem like he didn’t want to be there. Food was very good , we only had the Fettuccine, for dessert we had tiramisu and it was very yummy !!! Drinks!!! This was the best part here, we had two Martinis, the watermelon one was fantastic. It’s a pricey place !!

    This is the best Italian food in Miami hands down. All those other highly over rated Italian restaurants can’t touch this place. Atmosphere makes you feel like you’re somewhere other than Miami. The energy in here is crazy (in a good way) the staff is top notch, you will not find service like this in Miami. The food is AMAZING!!! Check this place out, I highly recommend this place to anyone.

  • 5/5 Rachael E. 7 months ago on Google
    This is one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to! The food is outstanding. My husband loves pizza, and he said this is the best pizza he has ever tried! The fettuccine and Penne Pomodoro were so good! The atmosphere is top! I totally recommend it if you are celebrating a birthday! Got a very fun celebration from the staff here on my birthday! Unforgettable!

    Authentic Italian restaurant, with cosy atmosphere. The food was savory, well presented and with generous portions. Staff members were incredibly friendly. Animation during the dinner with Italian music.

    My wife and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner here. It was our 2nd time and it was just as good if not better than we remembered! Our server was a gentleman named Fabio who was excellent. Very attentive, polite, and on top of things. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Lively restaurant in Espanola Way, Miami Beach. Food was delicious and so was the sangria. Service was excellent too. Will certainly return for a repeat visit.

    The Best Italian Restaurant in Miami Beach Hosteria Romana, I have to say, the food was simply outstanding. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the staff and seated promptly. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with rustic decor and soft lighting. But it was the food that truly stole the show. Everything we ordered was exceptional, from the tender and juicy lamb chops to the perfectly cooked pasta dishes. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I particularly loved the homemade bread and olive oil dipping sauce - it was the perfect way to start the meal. The service was also top-notch - our server was attentive and knowledgeable and made great recommendations. And to top it all off, the prices were very reasonable for the high quality of food and service we received. Overall, I highly recommend Hosteria Romana in Miami Beach to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. The food truly is the best, and the service and ambiance add to the experience. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings!" Nos Vemos en Hosteria Romana el mejor restaurant italiano de Miami beach.

    The service here was my favorite of all the places we went in Miami. Our waiter Alize (not sure of spelling 🫣), was the best, fun, and funny. Everyone was prompt with service. The atmosphere was romantic, a little close, but still comfy.

    I am not sure how this place got 4.5 stars. The chicken in the Alfredo was extremely bland. All the food is bland. I think it is pre made earlier in the day and thrown together depending on what you order. The drinks were really good, but I won't be back.

    This place offers an amazing experience. The food is delicious, the drinks are extremely generous and the waiters sing and dance with the customers. My family has been visiting this restaurant since 2001 and they have maintained their level of quality and excitement. The mojitos are to die for and their pastas are incredible. For starters you should try their prosciutto and parmesan board. Their grilled octopus is also extremely soft and flavorful.

  • 5/5 Adam T. 10 months ago on Google
    Miami Beach has a lot of Italian restaurants but this is one of the best. The chicken parm is always a classic very thin and full of flavor. My beautiful wife always gets the dish they are known for, the fettuccine mushroom truffle in a cheese wheel. They come to your table and put a little show on for you. As the night goes on, they turn the Italian music up and everyone spins their napkins in the air. Great experience and great food. We always come back when we are in Miami Beach.

    Pricey but nice very Italian spot in South Beach. 5/5 I went here today and was convinced to eat here by the hostess, who was a nice lively woman. Waiter/Service: My waiter was very nice and I appreciate his help and helping me with my meal. He followed directions and was polite the entire time. 5/5 Food: The food was pretty nice. I had pasta with added chicken and fresh lemonade. All together ended up paying $50 (with gratuity) which I thought was a bit expensive but I mean I was in South Beach so whatever. It was very good. That chicken was cooked quite well. You could tell it was fresh. Noodles and Alfredo had great consistency. Atmosphere: Very relaxed vibe all around. I did notice that when some music came on the staff seemed to dance a little bit in excitement. Nice touch.

    One of my favorite Italian restaurants in SoBe! Great bread, homemade pastas, and so much more! I always feel like I've been transported back to Italy when I dine here! I highly recommend this place. I'm never disappointed!

  • 5/5 Asli V. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, good vine. When I was having my last bite, the waiter was waiting on top of me to take my plate. It was busy but still was not very chic. Burrata was very good and grilled octopus was one of the best I had.

    Prices are not cheap but the dish is excellent. Everything is at the highest level. The place is decorated in a high standard and there is good music. The service was perfect. Worth the price and the experience.

  • 5/5 Maria H. 2 years ago on Google
    An awesome dining experience. All was perfect, celebrating a birthday and all servers were singing. My compliments to the Chef food was delicious, staff was very attentive.

  • 5/5 Sabrina S. 2 years ago on Google
    The Alfredo from the cheese wheel was the best I've ever had! Noodles cooked to perfection and tasted amazing! Loved the ambiance and food choices! So nice we has to do it twice and eat there 2 days in a row!

  • 5/5 Ariana g. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful location and atmosphere! The food was good. The service was okay, felt very rushed. Although there was a very nice gentleman that seemed to be doing all the work for our table( while our server came around twice to take our order and give us the check). He gave us a very enjoyable experience and was very attentive.
