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”!“

“Incredible experience in this Argentine restaurant, the knife-cut empanadas (tucumanas) are very good, octopus and four cheese Milanese, 10 points, the service of the waiter Esteban and the attention of the chef Emiliano excellent. The dessert flan, a dream ??“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! Our friends recommended this restaurant, and we’re so glad they did. The food was fantastic, every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Lizzie, our server, was a highlight of the experience with her kind, cheerful, and efficient service.

What stood out to me as a guest was the positive atmosphere, not a single unhappy employee in sight! You can even see into the kitchen, which is a big plus for me. The whole experience felt genuine and welcoming.

We’re definitely coming back - just make sure you have a reservation because this place is popular for all the right reasons!“

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

“Best Italian restaurant in Miami“

“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.“

“The best sandwiches in Miami. Delicious and healthy“

“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 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.“

“We found this place walking around and Agata was our server. She is so friendly and nice person, she was the reason we stayed more and ordered more drinks and definitely we will come back just to get amazing service from her. Nice music and atmosphere from this place ?“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and excellent service“

“Off the charts! 5 stars is the very least I could do!

As we were without reservations, we were seated at the bar. What a turn of events and absolute treat this turned out to be! This was quite literally a chef's table experience!

The staff here is just so kind, warm and inviting - they most certainly hotel right here. We were literally showered in warm hospitality!

Non-alcoholic drinks were made to my imagination and the pasta was so, so comforting and good! As a finer dining sister restaurant to the wonderful Eating House, we should have expected nothing less!

Chef, Anna, Danny, Oliver and Alex we can't thank you all enough! We are grateful for this experience and will be back for a repeat!“

“Pasta e Basta near Wynwood is excellent. The menu is authentic, fresh Italian pastas and sauces and great portions. Very clean and spotless restaurant and great atmosphere. Very delicious food and the server and staff were very friendly and make you feel at home. Great place that feels like you are in Italia.“

“Awesome food ! Incredible atmosphere!!!“

“The place is elegant and relaxed. The service is good and pleasant. The food was quite good. However, the negative part was that they served 2 dishes to a table of 6 and 25 minutes later the other 4 dishes, even though they apologized for a place of this level, this is intolerable. The price is quite high.“

“Restaurant is family friendly. Felt the pizza was soggy and not crispy though it was thin. Tried the Crocce and it was ok (tasted like a ball of mashed potato and crispy outside coating like arancini balls). Salad was fresh but nothing unique.“

I will definitely stay here again when I'm in Miami.“

“I ordered the mussels and bolognese. The mussels were outstanding!! I would come back to La Locanda just for that alone. The bolognese was good too…pasta was completely fresh but the sauce could have been more flavorful. Great service. Overall a good experience here. Aperol Spritz was excellent!“

“We had the coconut shrimp and buffalo wings as appetizers. They were excellent. The shrimp came with a lovely sweet and spicy dipping sauce that was not overly sweet or spicy, just perfect. The wings were crispy and the buffalo sauce and ranch were flavorful. Each app came with a serving of 8 pieces each. I had the linguine Frutti Di Mare and it was incredibly flavorful and full of seafood. The sauce is silky and delicious. He had the Chicken Parmesan and it was delicious. The spaghetti and sauce were excellent, the chicken was a large piece that was cooked to perfection. This was our second time going and we ordered the same thing both times and it was excellent each time. Melissa, the manager was wonderful. The portions were large and there was a live saxophonist which made for a very romantic evening. Highly recommend!!“
