24 Best Italian Restaurants in Coral Gables

“If I could give Luca Osteria 10 stars I would!! I first found this place from a food blogger on instagram and I am so glad I did. First thing you must make a reservation before going because there is limited seating and this place is always full. We didn't have a reservation and the hostess was so helpful to get us a spot at the bar. The manager saw that we felt very crowded at the bar so they were able to give us a table for two. Even though it's a little smaller inside, the restaurant is so beautiful and classy. We had the perfect date night. We started with a couple appetizers the patate frite and the Local Stracciattella. The patate frite was so perfectly crispy and creamy with the sharp flavor of the truffle. The creamy Stracciattella with the crispy bread was the best combo. For our entree we ordered the short rib bolognese with fresh pappardelle pasta. Now I don't usually order the bolognese, it's usually just basic flavors but I truly enjoyed this one thanks to the short ribs. My husband ordered a pasta with bucatini pasta that was delicious too. We were so full from this lovely meal but we had to try a dessert. We were recommended to ordered the Pistachio Semifreddo, it was very different. It was sweet and salty and the chocolate ganache was so perfect. One thing I really appreciated from this restaurant was the employees they were so attentive and after every single meal they cleaned and wiped down our table. I have never seen that before at any restaurant even the fanciest expensive places don't even do that for you. We can't wait to go back and try new items on the menu. And I will recommend this place to anyone that's in Coral Gables. And if you ever need anything, ask the manager JJ.“

“The food while good was egregiously priced. $48 for penne à la vodka with no protein is unconscionable. $165 for veal Parmigiana is a joke. $64 for a dozen east coast oysters is laughable. I never thought I would look forward to paying carbone prices for good enough Italian food. To be fair, the service was excellent, and the ambience very nice. That said, We will wait for these guys to open sfoglina before patronizing their business again, and for now will continue to drive to Broward for proper Italian.“

“Bravo!!! The food was outrageous, service impecable and wine selection impressive. An upscale Italian restaurant in the heart of coral gables. It’s obvious they use only the finest and freshest ingredients in their dishes as the branzino melted in your mouth as did the mushroom risotto. A memorable meal made even better by attentive and professional service staff. 5 star all around!“

“Great neighborhood restaurant with extensive menu options! Food, service, atmosphere are outstanding! Manny, Marcos and the rest of the staff make you feel welcomed and part of a family…highly recommend this gem! Thank you for making our brunch/reunion so special.“

“Arguably some of Miamis best pizza which is shocking considering it's vegan. The crispy crust is absolutely not to be messed with. I personally don't care for pizza at all but will happily munch down on my boyfriends whenever he orders from here. Have not dined in but heard the owner is as nice as can be :)“

“My experience at zucca was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is AMAZING, exceeding my expectations! I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service in special Alejandro the chef. The ambiance here is always inviting and comfortable. Their staff is not only friendly but also highly skilled. Pricing is fair and transparent - definitely value for money. Thank you Alejandro for making my experience so special. I would love to be back soon.“

“6:30 dinner reservations- restaurant was empty but it quickly filled up with patrons, peaking at 7:30 with mostly locals. Ordered a bottle of a nice Barolo and appetizers: beef carpaccio and potato leek soup, both outstanding. Main course was veal piccata and red snapper in parchment bag, both delicious. Profiteroles for dessert. Overall, food was great. Ambience and noise level nice as well. Only criticism is that several of the waiters would stand near the door and audibly chat about personal stuff, constantly! Not consistent with the ambiance.“

“Absolutely loved this P. Pole. I'm an avid enjoyer of this food chain, but not all chains represent the company. The workers here were fast and efficient and even recommended sauce to go with my pizza choice. Overall I had a lovely time.“

“I recently went to dinner with a friend to celebrate her divorce. The atmosphere was spectacular, I had never received such attentive and professional treatment, especially from Eric, simply great!! That night will always remain in my memory. The pasta was crazy. I recommend hehe“

“My recent dining experience at Bugatti Bistro was a true culinary delight, offering a trifecta of Italian classics: pasta, wine, and dessert.First and foremost, the Italian pasta served was a masterpiece. Each dish boasted perfectly cooked pasta paired with mouthwatering sauces that danced on the palate. Whether indulging in a creamy carbonara or savoring a rich bolognese, every bite was a testament to the chef's mastery of Italian cuisine.Accompanying the delectable pasta was a selection of fine wines that perfectly complemented the flavors of each dish. From robust reds to crisp whites, the wine list at [Restaurant Name] showcased a curated selection that elevated the dining experience to new heights.To top off the meal, I had the pleasure of indulging in their apple pie, a true crowd-pleaser. The flaky crust enveloped tender slices of apple, delicately spiced and served with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. It was the perfect ending to an already impeccable dining experience.“

“Hidden gems ?. Nice and quiet, very romantic. Even if there are other people dining, you still feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The staff have great attitude and attention to detail. The food is delectable, mouth watering. I recently celebrated my birthday there. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant ?“

“The Italian vibe is so present! Also, as a gluten free and lactose free eater, I recommend getting the gf and no cheese pizza with bacon, sausage and mushrooms (tomato sauce as well obviously). Then I like to drown it in olive oil haha. A great alternative for when you’re going to eat Italian with friends and don’t want to take the risk of gluten and dairy!“

“Everyone's food was absolutely amazing. My tuna was absolutely buttery and phenomenal! My husband's fillet and champagne risotto were outstanding! The service impeccable! We come here every year when we stay overnight before flying out the next morning to Anguilla!! It never disappoints!“

“Had another fabulous meal at Salumeria 104. The wait staff was Excellent as usual (Sadie & Julio). The manager, Mario, was very attentive to all the customers. The meal was superb. The Chef created all the diners to see how they liked their meals. Magical evening. Love this restaurant!“

“This gem of a gourmet market has a diverse selection of high-quality Italian products, including freshly made pastas, sauces, and lasagnas. Franco and Joao are knowledgeable and helpful, and are always seeking to improve the quality and variety of their offerings. Excellent source for seasonal items (such as Pannetone at Christmas).“

“An authentic, gem of an Italian restaurant. If you want a meal bigger than the size of your head, order the veal! Also, the truffles are a must for the cacio e pepe. We ate every bite of the chocolate torta - might’ve even scraped the plate!“

“The food was on another level- congrats to the chef! Each dish was an explosion of flavors, the service impecable and venue elegant. The Vitelli tonnato was fantastic but the star hands down was the truffled gnocchis. Understated elegance with an attention to culinary detail. What a fabulous addition to the Miami restaurant scene. Will definitely become a regular!“

“My husband and I just had dinner there and it was phenomenal. We found a 2018 Hall Cabernet Sauvignon on the menu, which was exquisite. The sea bass in a creamy pesto asparagus sauce was incredible. The tiramisu was the fluffiest, and spongiest that I have ever eaten. Our servers, Oscar and Gisele were so attentive. This restaurant has a wine list that is huge and the music playlist includes Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andrea Bocelli and Michael Buble. We loved everything about our dining experience.“

“This family owned restaurant is a hidden gem. My husband stumbled across it and fell in love with not only the delicious but the customer service too. We took our uncle, his family and my mother in law along with her friend, and they absolutely love it. We ate family style. We ordered the pork, meatballs, shrimp Alfredo, and a few other dishes. I cannot wait to visit again when in the Miami area.“

“I have to say Mr Patel and his team do a very nice work.Not having italian roots and preparing food nicely done impressed me.And I love to see young people getting an opportunity working under pressure and handling their job extremely well. Kudos ?“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in the courtyard -mostly because of the wonderful ambiance! We were able to have conversation without shouting, and the setting was just perfect. The service was good, but not stupendous. The food was good, but the Branzino was a bit mushy and was definitely not the best I've had in Miami. Desserts were wonderful, and special attention was given to our multiple celebrations! Overall, it was a wonderful evening!“

“delicious food excellent service there was about 75 of us the wait for the main course was long, but worth the wait... it would had been perfect, if they hadn't taken so long to serve us the dinner plate! appetizers where on time, bread as well, sangria and desert all within good timing. But we where a large group, that is probably why, plus the restaurant was packed.“

“Great pizza and even better garlic rolls! Perfect for the entire family. Nice bar, super friendly staff, and great location. Parking can be a headache depending on the time and day, but there is plenty of city parking around the block. We will definitely go back and have more great food.“

“Our first time visiting them, we ate delicious, it was a very pleasant afternoon with our partner and friends. Thank you Gio for your attention, the quality and the great quality of service. Your staff is very good too.See you next time, for sure.“
