“My visit to Mosaico - Maurizio Farinelli in South Miami was a sublime culinary experience. The cozy atmosphere and elegant decor anticipated an exceptional meal, which truly exceeded all expectations.The menu is an impressive fusion of Italian flavors with touches of Japan and the Middle East. I started with an exquisite tuna tartare that stood out for its freshness and flavor. I followed with tagliatelle bolognese and cacio e Pepe, both dishes prepared to perfection, showcasing the quality of the local ingredients. The Gnocchi alla Norcina was another triumph, with a texture and flavor that invited you to continue enjoying.The service was exceptional, every detail was meticulously taken care of, Mosaico - Maurizio Farinelli is a gem in South Miami and a must-see destination for lovers of good Italian food.”

“Raw South Miami is a hidden gem for acai bowl enthusiasts like myself. Their acai bowls are a true delight, bursting with flavor and freshness in every spoonful. But what truly sets this place apart is their incredibly friendly staff. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that makes every visit feel like a welcoming embrace. If you're craving delicious acai bowls served with a side of kindness, look no further than Raw South Miami.”

“The BEST sushi I have had for a great price!! The restaurant is quaint and simply decorated, but the food is amazing. Brought my husband for date night and we will definitely be back. Service was quick and very kind. Our favorite was the salmon truffle and tuna tower but there are so many other things on the menu we can't wait to try.”

“I got the electric mermaid and it was by far the best smoothie bowl I’ve had. My friends got açaí bowls that were equally as delicious. And they came with these adorable takeout bags! The line was long(because they are so popular) but it moved so fast. And I got my bowl in less than 10 minutes of ordering it. The fruit was fresh and the smoothie base was thick, smooth and flavorful. It was not watered down or melted at all. Compared to other smoothie bowl restaurants I’ve been to, the portions were huge and the price wasn’t bad at all. My friends had some modifications for their bowls and there were no mistakes. The inside was adorable, the atmosphere was great, and the workers were very inviting and looked happy to be there. I cannot wait to go back and try more items on the menu!”

“One of my absolute favorite spots in Miami. A lot of vegetarian options. All the food is extremely well made and delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing. The staff is really sweet and attentive. I love coming here ”

“Gabriela was an outstanding server, very professional and pleasant. The food was outstanding and well prepared. I will come again to enjoy a nice Italian meal. Cheers!!”

“What a gem in south Miami! The food is delicious, the place is so cute and the service is so warm and kind. Carola was so special to us, definitely recommend this place. Cant wait to go back!”

“Excellent bakery, very good service and quality, you feel like you are in Venezuela, their flavors are exquisite, one of the best ham breads in Miami, I recommend and rate them for their good service.”

“Second time there and is a pleasure... the food is delicious and the plates are very good decorated. The customer service is very good! The menu is too complicated but the experience is very pleasant.”

“So happy to have this delicious, fresh and healthy option in our neighborhood! Soups are perfectly comforting and the chicken goddess is perfectly crispy. Even the sweet potato fries were fresh and light.Vegetarian options: Lentil soup salads sandwiches acai bowls and moreDietary restrictions: Gluten free options and vegan options”

“I don't know why it took me so long to try this place but I'm so glad I came! My friend told me it was amazing so I had to see for myself. The spanakopita was so delicious and lemony. The hummus wasn't bad just not my favorite but the labneh was . I had lamb kebab and my boyfriend had the traditional beef kebab. He's not a fan of lamb but he said my entree was better (so that says a lot about how good the lamb is). Only thing that didn't catch our attention was the dessert but everything else was fantastic.”

“Cafe Pastis is a small quaint restaurant located in the sunset area. It is tucked away in a small unassuming old strip mall. We went here for a girl's night out birthday celebration. We ordered the French onion soup, veggie soup, muscles and grilled grouper dinner. The vegetable soup was AMAZING. It didn't have any dairy and was very flavorful. The grilled grouper was fresh - it came with vegetables and roasted potatoes. The wait staff was very nice and very attentive. We ordered two bottles of wine and they allowed us to taste the wine before purchasing the bottle. It was very reasonably priced. We're glad we came - everyone had a great time and it's so refreshing to discover new spots like this to enjoy with friends. Good food, good drinks, great company.”

“I went to dinner with my husband on 04.13.24 and we had a great evening. Delicious food and excellent service. All the dishes are delicious. Super recommended. 100%”

“I’ve been in love with Shahs of Kabob since I went a few years ago and continue to go to this location and others. You feel welcomed and seen as soon as you walk in & service is so fast. The food? The freshest because they are grilling your meal right in front of you. Their chicken and meat is so tender. I’m very picky about chicken but I know every time I order their joojeh kabob it’s going to be juicy and flavorful. Their Koobideh is the best, it’s so tender and addicting. My new obsession is their salad loaded with everything is so yummmyyyy. Overall love this place! The food is also halal which is a plus!”

“Authentic libanese food, my fam and I went for lunch, had a sampler, drinks and lentil soup, everything was ready pretty fast, we enjoyed the food and our favorite was kibbe.”

“Great ice cream, cute spot. The owner is very friendly and kind. We went as a big group and sat around for a while since the weather is nice and we felt very welcome. They have hookah's too which is kind of random but smelled so good we had one!”

“Very exquisite, fine, homemade Peruvian desserts and sandwiches. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Alfajores to die for. Best I’ve had. Strawberry Pavlova my heart be still. Have been going back consistently since.”

“We liked that parking is convenient, lot in the back of building. The atmosphere is warm, inviting. Our server was very attentive. We liked the food, brisket meatloaf and half fried chicken. It wasn't over the top good but we liked it. I would give it another go and the happy hour looks inviting.”

“I've travel to France many times and my family is originally from there and this is my favorite French Cafe! Their quichés have not been beat in France for me. The croissants either. Most amazing is their gluten free chocolate cake with an amazing crème Anglais. The crème is addictive! Dris and Stephanie are amazing!”

“Isle was my server. She is a fantastic! Always smiling, faster, attentive to detail! She makes my day with her contagious energy and happiness. Great place and great people!”

“I stopped at Smoothielicious to get my morning protein intake. I didn't find in the menu what I wanted. However, Sissi, kindly allowed me to create my own custom smoothie, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. The place is impecable clean.. and you can find multiple decorations that make the experience more enjoyable.”

“I officially order any dish from their menu with confidence that it won’t disappoint. I’ve tried over 5 different entrees so far and they all were rich in flavor and pretty authentic. Their late hours are also super convenient. It is a bit pricey though and the atmosphere to dine-in is *very* casual.”

“Very good pizza! Made with firewood, artisanal and Italian. I also tried the focaccia. Both options are the best I have ever eaten in my life! I highly recommend them ?”

“We had lunch outdoors at this place on Friday. The food w as fantastic and the service was friendly and very good.We spoke with the owner Stephan (?spelling) and he was a delight with all the customers. Truly enjoyed our time there and I would go back without hesitation.”

“This place is a local favorite. Is very quiet and interesting. They sell some jewelry and a few clothes for women along with candles, stones ( for decoration purposes) and incense. They don’t have a big menu selection and what they do have is not good neither bad. I do love their blueberry muffins. They have trovas here once in a while Overall is good for a relax cup of tea or coffeeVegetarian options: Almost the entire menu is vegetarianParking: To park here you must park in the mall garage which is pricey. Is like 4 with some change per hour”

“Q was a great bartender. Made the environment better even though it was a slow day. He remembered out names and presented himself. Great service even on slow days”

“Best pancakes EVER! It was nice to go back so many years later and see the same menu items I enjoyed then still on the menu. My friend had the duck sandwich, which is a staple there. I had the nova platter and the pancakes. Like I said, best pancakes ever. Like ever. We went for brunch on the weekend. Per usual and as to be expected, it was packed. We sat at a 4 top in sunset tavern and waited a bit for our server. She had a lot of tables and since we hadn't been there for some time didn't mind hanging out and waiting, reminiscing. Food came out unbelievably fast, actually faster than the server brought over the Bloody Mary for my friend. Because she was busy it sat at the bar and we watched many many employees stand by it, walk passed it, grab their drinks and leave it there, not one single person brought it over to him. Mid way into our meal, the waitress appeared with it. Though service wasn't the best because server was extremely overwhelmed and "slammed", as we say in the biz, we still had a great experience and food was good. I'll be back just for the pancakes.”

“Food is tasty for the price, and a fun time doing the boil! The best part about dining here is the service. My family and I have been taken care of by Alex the last few times we have gone and we could not have been happier! I think there was also a manager named alex who came by to check on our table when we had a small but fixable issue, it was taken care of immediately. The staff here really cares which is so rare to see these days! I will definitely take my family back here and hope this business succeeds as south Miami continues to revamp itself. Thank you Alex and Alex :)”

“Stopped in while in town about a week ago. It had been a long day visiting a friend in the hospital. The people working there unwittingly helped make the day better.I wanted some authentic Italian pizza. I took a chance and went in. I ordered the margarita with bufala and a glass of wine. The wine was good and the pizza was fantastic! The bufala was perfect and the arugula was fresh.It was early in the evening and midweek, so it wasn’t busy. I hope it is during regular dinner hours because it is a gem.”

“This is the best organic spot ive found in south miami so far. The organic waffles are delicious and the coffee tastes so fresh. Pure organics has such high quality ingredients, I feel good about eating there every time. The staff is super friendly. Hoping to try more food next time im in the area.”

“Ran in after closing store for quick take-out for family. Gentleman working there was so nice and friendly. Lots of help putting daughter's order together. Food was great served in Chinese containers and it was very clean. They cook in front of you. Our 4th visit and couldn't be more pleased. Do not understand previous reviews as food had lots of flavor. They also have bottled sauces to spice it up. Highly recommend. Thank youVegetarian options: Lots of vegitables, tofu, peanuts”

“Been here three times and I will definitely come back again. The food was great I really like their crispy roll vermicelli and the ambiance of the restaurant is very calm and relaxing”

“We ordered Jimmy John's for an entire team--Manny the manager was amazing and helpful. We will certainly be ordering again when we come back to Miami's campus!”

“Great pizza at a hole in the wall shopping plaza. Was referred by a friend who was an NYC transplant who spoke highly of it. I can see why he loves this place. I got a pepperoni pizza and some wings. Pizza was definitely New York style great crust and the ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and accommodating when I asked for additional parmesan cheese. Would recommend and visit again!!Parking: Its a bustling plaza so its always packed but wait a few minutes and a space will open up its constantly in ebb and flow.”

“This place was excellent. We got there, and there was no one else there, so we were served so quickly. They gave us an appetizer, which definitely helped our rumbling tummies. The sake was hot and the chirashi plate was perfect! Definitely recommend!”

“Mojito Grill has been here for over 20 years and as good today as it was back then. Great sandwiches and wraps w/ a Cuban bent …. Their black beans are a must-have every time I go. Service is quick and there is a small counter w/ seating indoors and 4 small tables outside. Best to sit outside if dining in as the (very tasty) smell inside can linger in on your clothes long after your meal is over. Very good food at good prices. Great for a fast / tasty lunch.”

“Amazing place to go with friends and have a great time and besides that the food is 10 ?It is also to take into account if you want to celebrate at home. The catering that Clásica Victoria offers is the best and you do not have to take care of anything! They organize everything. Its owner is very meticulous and is in every detail!”

“Rice (South Miami) is my favorite restaurant in the area. The staff is amazing and the food is always on point. I definitely recommend it for anyone in the area.”

“Easily Miamis best boba tea!!! So amazing and fresh. People working there are nice. Small store but cute. Parking is very difficult given its located right in sunset. I kind of wish they had food but I understand if it's strictly boba.One star off for parking situation.”

“I went to the restaurant for the first time and I really liked the food and the attention of the staff, a nice experience in a Japanese restaurant, thank you for your excellent work, I recommend the place ?%. I had dinner and ordered takeout.”

“Recommended, it pleased my palate. Very good service, pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent treatment, flavor, aroma, texture.Vegetarian options: Fresh, very good presentation and established flavorParking: Spacious, safe.”

“The food was amazing!!! The staff was so kind and treated us like family as soon as we walked in, they gave us so many great dishes, which were very delicious! They even gave us things for free just to try out. They have a very great quiet enviroment way you can eat your food and enjoy some comfortable seating and some great dessert options as well. 10 out of 10 recommend”

“This ChillN location is great! It's conveniently located, even though parking can sometimes be challenging in the small parking lot of a popular strip mall. I've been going to the location further south for years, and this one is nice too. There were lots of people there on a Thursday night, and the ambiance felt fun. I appreciated that they have seating inside and outside. I love the Nutella ice cream flavor with granola mixed in, but this was my first time trying the almond milk. It was not as good as the regular milk flavor - something about it was too sweet - so lesson learned! Go for the regular milk flavor!”

“I really enjoyed my meals here. Very tasty. Normally I don’t eat all servings but even-though the amount was big, I ate all with pleasure. I ordered beef sauteed and another day chicken sauteed.”

“We had the most friendly service and delicious food. We felt right at home from the minute we walked in. The lovely waitress tried really hard to communicate with us despite our very basic Spanish and was really patient. We also loved that they gave us uno to play whilst we waited for our meal.”
