23 Best Italian Restaurants in Coral Gables

“I've been to this Italian restaurant before, and it never disappoints! This visit was just as fantastic as the last. We were lucky to have Michell (hope I'm spelling that right!) as our server. Even though she mentioned she recently started working at the restaurant, you'd never know it—her service was phenomenal, and her recommendations were spot on. Big thanks to Michell and the whole team for making it a special night.“

“This restaurant is a gem in the heart of Coral Gables. 5 stars is not enough for this restaurant. 💗
All the people who works there are wonderful Everything I ate was an explosion of flavors.
I don't usually drink alcohol, but I convinced myself to have a cocktail (I told them I didn't want to taste too much alcohol). They really impressed me.
I want to especially thank Adri and her husband; they were attentive from start to finish.
P.S. Their baby is the happiest and most delicious baby I've ever met.“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant.
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout our visit.

The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor.
I especially loved the mussels, fiori di zucca, octopus and gnocchis, which were perfectly cooked and bursting with taste.
You can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients.

The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, and the music and lighting created a very relaxing vibe.
It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a nice dinner with friends, family, or even on a date night.

Our server was Misael. Best service ever!! He even did a Mariachi show for us!! AMAZING!

I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone I know.
If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a great atmosphere — this is the place to go!“

“Sunset, Salt, and Swagger: Dining at NOMA Beach at Redfish
.
CORAL GABLES, FL - Golden hour in Coral Gables does its best work at NOMA Beach at Redfish, where the bay turns to liquid bronze and the rooftop draws a good-looking crowd nursing tall-stemmed spritzes. Set inside Matheson Hammock Park—the only true waterfront dining address in the Gables—this modern, coastal-Italian outpost feels purpose-built for date nights, proposals, and the kind of unbothered weeknight that slides into a second bottle. The setting is the flex: a coral-stone landmark, palm-ringed beach, and a rooftop patio with wide-open views of Biscayne Bay.
.
Linen, leather sandals, a whisper of salt, and a soundtrack that gets warmer as the sun drops. Staff skew friendly and on-the-ball— regulars call out attentive service and event pros who run the rooftop like a private club—though, like many Miami hot tickets, peak hours can stretch patience.
.
Chef-owner Donatella Arpaia steers the menu toward glossy Mediterranean comfort with seafood first in line. Start with the Hanging Board — prosciutto di Parma, Marcona almonds, fig jam, cheeses and honey—hung tableside like jewelry; it’s theater and appetite-builder in one. The fritto misto (semolina-crusted calamari and shrimp with avocado aioli) is a crisply addictive second act. Prices are Miami-prime but transparent: $42 for that board, $40 for the fritto, $35 for Donatella’s award-winning meatballs, and salads spanning $25–$37.
.
Those meatballs are a house signature, swaddled in slow-braised ragù—comfort food dressed for a night out. On the lighter side, the Stone Fruit Caprese layers grilled peaches and burrata with basil and prosciutto, a sun-kissed detour that eats like a South Florida postcard. For mains, branzino with lemon-caper butter and gigante beans is the clean, confident order; pasta traditionalists go for rigatoni tossed in a broken-meatball ragù.
.
Cocktails are where the rooftop gets chatty. The program leans seasonal and agave-curious, with a deep bench of tequilas and mezcals, while the bar keeps crowd-pleasers in rotation—Aperol spritz at sundown, a cucumber-gin number when the humidity bites, and a notably silky espresso martini when the night asks for punctuation.
.
As for damage: the experience at $31–$50 per person before tax and tip; Miami’s tourism board lists it at “$$$ ($31–$45).” Given the postcard real estate and the coastal-Italian polish, that’s in line with the neighborhood — and mercifully south of sticker shock for a special-occasion table.
.
Housekeeping for the planners: reservations are wise, the rooftop hosts recurring happenings (think winemaker dinners and themed evenings), Sunset Wednesday–Friday Happy Hour on the outdoor bar is a savvy play for oysters and cocktails with that cinematic sky.
.
The verdict? NOMA Beach at Redfish is Miami distilled: spectacular water, dressed-up comfort food, and a bar that understands the assignment. Come for the posture, stay for the plates—especially that branzino, the fritto, and the meatballs—and embrace the occasional Miami hiccup as the cost of admission to a front-row seat on Biscayne Bay. It's salt-sprayed, sun-dappled, a touch high-maintenance, and unapologetically fun.“

“GORGEOUS PROPERTY!! Delicious food!! Friendly, professional, five-star service!!“

“Very impressed! Great food, cheap, and quick! Great staff and great atmosphere! Definitely recommend!“

“AMAZING real Italian food made by a guy actually from Italy. From the outside it doesn't look like anything, bit inside it is quite stylish and cozy. A great place for a date. Get a bottle of wine and dine in a relaxed European fashion. Really, the food is remarkable. Brought several people with me when I went back and they truly enjoyed it. My mom is from Rome so I'm not easily impressed with most Italian places. The star pizzas are special and totally delicious too! Note that because this place is run by actual Europeans service can be slow by American standards, but they were kind. Updated from previous review on 2025-05-23“

“We discovered this place walking through the neighborhood in Coral Gables. From the outside the place doesn't say much but once you enter and taste their food you feel in Italy ♥️.
If I had to describe it in words” il cibo migliore che quello povero”.
The best carbonara and pesto pasta I've teasted in all of Miami.
And what can we say about their pizzas… without words! The dough is incredible!
The attention of the girls is very nice and friendly ?
These words are for the pizza maker who is always kneading…Dio benedica le tue mani, mi hai fatto sentire a casa dei miei nonni e di mio fratello mangiando la tua pasta ? Grazie“

“I visited the one in monroeville today and let me tell you; they had excellent service and excellent food. We got 5 different items on the menu and loved every single one. Definitely will be making this a weekly trip“
