50 Best Italian Restaurants near Key Biscayne

“Luissell and her team were absolutely PERFECT for our rehearsal dinner. We got married at the Ritz in Key Biscayne, after a COVID-canceled Amalfi Coast wedding. We wanted a casual and friendly trattoria feel for our rehearsal dinner, similar to the welcome pizza party we had planned in Ravello. Luissell delivered. She helped set up all of the decorations without hesitation. In fact, when I arrived to deliver them 3 days before our wedding, my maid of honor had just tested positive for covid and couldn’t attend our wedding. Luissell was patient and kind to me. The food, service and ambiance at our rehearsal dinner was exceptional and exceeded every expectation. Luissell and her staff went above and beyond to make my husband and I, our 80+ year old parents and all of our guests feel special. The chef is a culinary genius. The staff is well trained and very good at their craft. The food, pizza, wine and price point is perfectly on point. Portions are huge and delicious. And the warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere is something that I still go back to as often as I can. Don’t underestimate the magic of this corner spot!“

“This was our favorite restaurant in Key Biscayne. The owners are incredible. The food is top notch and influenced from Northern Italy. I loved the chicken parmigiana. However, believe it or not my favorite item was the key lime pie. I ate probably 20 pieces of key lime all through the Keys and they simply had the best.“

“The best daily option for: fantastic Mediterranean menù with daily special, great atmosphere and efficient service with attention to any detail. I highly recommend “Costa Med Bistro”!“

“The place is small and the service is very good. Several of the items on the menu are exceptional. However, the quality is not always consistent. We usually get both an appetizer and a main dish so we've tried almost everything. I've been to Fulano 3-4 times and I intend to go again. Top 2 restaurant in Key Biscayne, though in my book KB is not a culinary destination.“

“Recomiendo todo porque lo hacen muy rico todo sus platos“

“I wanted my wedding to be beautiful and perfect, so I went with this shop to inquire about lovely flowers that fitted for the occasion. Also, this shop has a big space to walk around and look for different pets to buy. It was very nice to visit here, and I was glad that I finally had my dreamed pet. Thank you!“

“The hard part is entrance. You go through a gate, to the end to a guest parking then enter the building and turn right then left. After a confusing entrance there is a very quiet restaurant with nice spacing, great for having conversations. Server was great and helpful with choosing appetizers, entrees and wine. Pasta was on-point and very balanced. All in all, a great place for both a romantic date or a business dinner. Will return.“

“Excelente todo. Atención rápida y cálida. Platos exquisitos . hoy probé dos menúes diferentes y fueron excelentes. Ademas buen precio“

“Best Italian restaurant in Miami“

“I first had the pleasure of dining here nearly two years ago, and it instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. From the warm atmosphere to the unforgettable flavors, everything about the experience was exceptional. The plate of pasta I had on that first visit was so memorable, it’s still the background on my phone — and I’ve made multiple trips to Miami just to come back and enjoy it again. The quality has never wavered. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“If you love thin crust pizza, this is your place! They bring creativity to pizza which I love. Can’t wait to taste each and every one! Would love to see cannoli’s offered with dessert coffees.“

“Melania amazing server, she recommended the most amazing pasta for me and my girlfriend loved.“

“I had a fantastic experience last night! The service is top tier--Marco and the rest of the staff are kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I had the best beef carpaccio ever--try it, they put a unique spin on the traditional dish--followed by the baby artichoke hearts and accompanied by an amazing Swiss Pinot Noir from Lucas Madonia. One of the best dinners I've had in a while and I'm frequently out. Highly recommend this quirky and cool restaurant!“

“The best sandwiches in Miami. Delicious and healthy“

“I had an incredible experience here! The gluten-free pizza was absolutely delicious—one of the best I’ve had. The service was outstanding, and Lenka truly went above and beyond to make the evening memorable. Her attention to detail, friendliness, and professionalism were exceptional. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and amazing service!“

“This was our first time here, the atmosphere and ambience was spectacular. We had the pizza and it’s definitely one of the best in Miami. Anise was out waitresses ans she was very kind & provided great service. We will definitely be back!“

“Great spot on Ocean Drive! Excellent service, friendly staff, and perfect for people-watching. Prices are reasonable — you can get a decent bottle of wine starting at $40. Overall, a relaxed vibe with good food and great atmosphere. Ceviche, spaghetti alla vongole are delicious. Good cocktails, too.“

“One of my all time favorites in Miami.
You cannot go wrong with any of the pasta dishes. We ordered a few but I only got a picture of the white pomodoro vongole, which was delicious. Very fresh without being too garlicky or heavy on the stomach. There pasta is always fresh and would taste great without any sauce. The red sauces (their specialty I believe) just make it all that much better.
My favorite salad of all time is their tricolore salad, I would come here just to have this and one of their cocktails. They have proper cocktails, well balanced and with premium liquors and ingredients.
The inside section is beautiful but be warned it is freezing inside, bring a sweater.
The outside while very pleasantly ventilated with fans everywhere is nice however is missing that beautiful design and ambiance felt inside.“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

“Boia De is very special. Bold flavor with a delicate execution. The staff are humbly proud of their accomplishments and the Michelin Star is well deserved. The smoked muscles were delicious you need them. Steak tar-tar you must have. The gnocchi will change your life and the lamb could alter they ways of man & possibly change the world. No liquor needed here. Creative mixology with sake & Pilsner will make you happy. Desert a must… buy 2. Or 3.. Love from Mary & Peter“

“I had an amazing experience at Corallo! The restaurant is elegant and beautifully designed, with the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a special night out.

The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and very professional. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was absolutely delicious, made with super fresh ingredients and full of authentic Mediterranean flavor. The fried calamari were light, crispy, and perfectly cooked.

We paired our meal with a great Italian wine and finished with a homemade tiramisu that was simply outstanding.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality Italian cuisine in the heart of Miami Beach! 🇮🇹✨“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“Food was great, Italian atmosphere and great service. Special thanks to our server Mirko“

“Fantastic food and great service. Our server was lovely and all the plates were delicious. The tuna and the bolognese were the standouts! Every bite was great. The acoustics inside the restaurant could be better- it gets very loud and hard to have a conversation. Otherwise its perfection!“

“Great staff, amazing food and awesome views!“

“This place deserves nothing less than a five-star rating for its incredible authenticity and world-class Italian cuisine. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, that instantly transports you to Italy the moment you walk in. Every dish from the homemade pasta to the mushroom and truffle risotto was so impressive. The staff are beyond gracious, treating guests like family and making sure each meal is memorable. Personal touches like the owner talking with each table about their meal and along with making recommendations. If you're seeking real Italian food made with passion, look no further, this is a hidden gem you'll want to visit again and again. Highly recommended for anyone who is serious about authentic Italian cuisine and warm hospitality you'll leave already planning your next visit! I loved the meal and the experience.“

“Mamo is a must if you like sensational food, impeccable service and a stunning setting. The Chef Salvatore, is without a doubt Oscar winning in the Restaurant world. I recommend this restaurant very highly. You will not be disappointed, trust me.“

“First time at Dolce. We live just north of the restaurant and saw advertising on social media. The restaurant is having some remodeling done so I was a little afraid that our date night would go sour. Not the case! Everyone from the manager, bartender & server were as polite and professional as they come! The food was incredible and the price was very affordable. It was a great night for us!“

“amazing service and drinks in Miami's trendiest neighborhood. Highly recommend it. Mangia!“

“Food: Chopped salad 9/10, wagyu carpaccio w/truffle 10/10, big meatball BEST I’ve ever had 12/10, spicy rigatoni, 8.5/10 very good was not spicy though, bone marrow pasta 8/10. Tiramisu 6/10. Service was very slow, took about 8 min for someone to come over and fill our water glass, same with the server coming over which was disappointing for this caliber of a restaurant. Drinks daisy age: 9/10, odb 9/10, expresso martini beware MOST expensive drink I’ve ever had with was ridiculous. $34 prob bc I got casamigos reposado. Even for Miami this is expensive.“

“Gem of an establishment! Located in downtown Miami, but once you cross the threshold it’s a world all on its own. A quaint, calm, romantic, and aromatic atmosphere. We were immediately greeted with kindness, attention and excitement. The menu was enthusiastically explained as well as a brief introduction to this fantastic, family owned business. The food was top tier! Amazing! The staff, from entrance to exit, were fabulous and well appointed. This is a MUST if you are in the Miami area. When we come back, we will definitely be back! Chefs kiss“

“It was an evening among friends that we are rarely lucky enough to have everything be perfect, the attention, the quality of the food and the decoration of the place with a tasteful Italian touch, I recommend it 100%. So happy with the place !!!! Will be back soon!!!!!“
