“Sapore Di Mare in Coconut Grove offers an enchanting dining experience that harmonizes exquisite cuisine with impeccable service and a warm, inviting ambiance. The evening began with a bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo, Gran Sasso. This wine, with its rich, full-bodied flavor and subtle hints of dark fruit, set a perfect tone for the meal. For the main course, the Lasagna al Brasato di Short Ribs e Tartufo was an absolute delight. The layers of tender short ribs, perfectly cooked pasta, and a generous amount of truffle made every bite an orgasmic experience. This dish is a true testament to the chef's skill and creativity. The Ravioli di Ossobuco was another highlight. The ravioli, filled with succulent ossobuco, was served in a delicate sauce that complemented the richness of the filling. The balance of flavors and textures in this dish was impeccable. To conclude the meal, we indulged in the Pastiera Napoletana for dessert. This traditional Neapolitan cake, with its sweet and creamy ricotta filling, was the perfect ending to an exceptional dining experience. The service at Sapore Di Mare was outstanding. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a memorable dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant, with its elegant decor and cozy atmosphere, further enhanced the overall enjoyment of the evening. In summary, Sapore Di Mare in Coconut Grove is a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier Italian dining experience. From the exquisite food to the exceptional service and delightful ambiance, every aspect of the restaurant exceeds expectations.“

“Fantastic experience at Mano Libera! The food is genuinely Italian, but elevated to the perfect level without losing what makes it feel authentic. The whole experience was incredible, and the service was just as good.

Chef and owner Marco is incredibly talented and welcoming. You can really feel his passion in every dish. This doesn’t feel like “just another Italian restaurant”, there’s something special about it.
Absolutely loved it. 10/10! 🇮🇹“

“My friends and I shared the lobster pasta and the Miami spice inner menu w short t ribs pasta and the meal was exquisite! The staff and the chef are ultimate professionals and the service is 5 star. Thank you! I can not wait for my next meal here.“

“Verace is simply fantastic. Very affordable. Whether you are eating with friends, family, spouse, or by yourself. It is fantastic. They are accommodating, the food is great, pizza is perfect every time. I love the bolognese and they will substitute the rigatoni for fettuccine. A fav. The atmosphere is cute and quaint, but I would suggest to dim the lights during the dinner hour. The patio is lovely, I need to take advantage of it. Service is perfect. Highly recommend it! Run! Don’t walk to Verace.“

At the end they even gave us a printed picture of our family and a note for her birthday! It made her feel very special. Thank you!“

“Lunch at Bellini’s at Mr. C’s: An Italian Escape in Coconut Grove. Friday afternoon lunch for girlfriends to catch up. From the moment we arrived at Bellini’s, with a warm welcome from Beni and his staff, the restaurant’s elegant ambiance and breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay set the stage for an enjoyable afternoon. Service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. We were quickly seated and offered a selection of fine Italian wines. Choosing a crisp Gavi de Gavi to compliment, the Tagliolini with white Alba truffles was truly the highlight of our meal. This dish was a true celebration of Italian culinary artistry: the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the generous shavings of white truffle added an earthy, aromatic richness that elevated every bite. The chef’s restraint allowed the delicate flavors to shine, making each mouthful both decadent and refined. Thank you Bellini, we will be back.“

“One of the best sandwiches I've had. Absolutely loaded with meat, great flavor, and balanced in flavor. But the bread perfectly matches the sandwich. I got the Godfather but you can bet I'm going to try the others that they have. Great service. Very impressed with everything, they deserve to have their brick and mortar shop.“

“Incredible food with unique tastes! The pesto pizza, polenta, and feta “cheese” on the salads were a highlight. Natural juices, amazing coffee, all combined to make a great dining experience. Excellent staff, cozy environment, and calming music. Great for the heart, body, and soul!“

“Second visit to FUGATO. And for a second time we were overwhelmed by the quality of the food offered by this restaurant.
Service is second to none and all that comets together in a quiet friendly atmosphere for the site.
Great all around“

“I just moved back into Coconut Grove and this is going to be my daily stop. Not only is the place cozy and beautiful,
filled with fantastic wines, gourmet foods, original local artwork and even cute clothes, but the food was delicious. I had a melted mozzarella and tomato sandwich on ciabatta bread and it was divine. I also had a homemade flan that would make my Cuban grandmother, proud.

I’ll be back soon!“

“Great atmosphere! Food and drinks were spectacular. Fully recommend.“

“I ordered the pumpkin ravioli with butter sage sauce. It was delicious!!! Wine is impressive also.“

“We had dinner at Rubino's for around our fith time tonight, and we noticed a lot of improvement done mostly on the service quality, the speed of service and the waiting time for the food to make it to our table. All these areas were lacking during our previous visits. Marcos, our waiter, was very professional, polite and considerate. Very good experience in general this time around.“

“This is such a delightful place. The food is superb. For starters we have carpacho arugula salad, stuffed braised beef mushroom, pear raviolis, (because we needed to try as much as we could) lol. The service resembled a white glove affair. The salmon was smothered in a dark sugar sauce. The sangria was sooooo refreshing. Our waiter Gussepi was so eager to please that how can we not write a review, and order almost everything from the specials for this night, (because it just sounded so delicious). I recommend this place with closed eyes. Your experience will be a memorable one, and your pallet will be filled with delightful taste resembling a food Ecstasy. The crowd was a reasonably middle to upper class crowd. They open at 6pm for dinner on weekdays and a reservation is advised, but they do not look as if they turn anyone away. The entire staff is so happy and pleasant as well as equally eager to please. Enrique is so attentive to details. The entire staff serves everyone. You are not isolated to one server, they all pitch in to make the customers experience a uniquely enjoyable one. The restrooms are immaculate. I also noticed the LACK of mold, mildew, and cobwebs in the dining area. This restaurant is as clean and neat as the food is superb. Hats off to you all. We appreciate you.“

“Amazing food and great staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food, nice people working there. Real Italian food, fresh ingredients and well prepared. Great carpaccio. Buffalata and all their dishes are so good. Was staying at hotel next door and worked out great they were here. Highly recommend to anyone wanting good Italian food. Not the cheapest place but worth it.“

“Awesome food and service!“

“Delicious, fresh Italian food Recommend eggplant parmesan, pizza capriciola, and mushroom pappardelle. Beautiful restaurant and patio.“

“It’s hard to put into words what an amazing experience we had at Mangiamo. Beyond the fabulous focaccias we enjoyed, the warmth and kindness of the owners make the whole experience so pleasant that it almost feels like being with family.

Everything is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the menu offers a wide variety of options for every taste. We’ll definitely be coming back soon to try the pasta and pizzas.

I 100% recommend this hidden gem!“
