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!“

“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”!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Superb Italian dishes, best in class service, great cellar in an incredible cozy and elegant atmosphere. \nThanks to Manuela (Manager) and Michael (waiter) we had a great Mother’s Day Celebration. \nGood pricing and great bar! \nDelicious not miss it. Best in class restaurant in Key Biscayne“

“Best Italian restaurant in Miami“

“We had a stellar time at Walrus Rodeo! The staff was warm and friendly and the food was exceptional. Definitely get the maitake mushrooms and pork belly and gnocchi, and don't forget a pie too! We even sprang for a bottle of wine that the sommelier recommended which was similarly incredible. It's definitely a must-eat in Miami and we can't wait to go back!

Parking: It's in a strip mall with free parking.“

“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 ?“

“Everything was so good! If you like sweets you must try the tiramisu, it’s sooo good!!! I got the truffle carbonara it was very good.
Martin, our waiter, the best of all! He recommend us the tiramisu, he nailed it.
It’s a very nice place. It’s an outdoorsy restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, that do accept kids.“

“I had an incredible experience here! The gluten-free pizza was absolutely delicious—one of the best I’ve had.

“This is a lovely authentic Italian restaurant. They welcomed us with big smiles. The food and service were great. We had a wonderful overall experience. We truly like our waiter Francesco very much. He was very attentive and kind. Husband and wife from Sarasota, FL“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious. Tried the chefs tasting menu and it was an amazing culinary experience. Best polenta I have ever had, and dbranding was perfection. Cheers to amazing food provided with exceptional service with Sean. Seriously you can’t go wrong. What are you waiting for? Go eat!! Buon appetito!“

“Wonderful food and excellent service“

“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.“

“This has quickly become my favorite pizzeria in South Florida.

I know, I know, there are lots of options in South Florida. It doesn’t matter what type of pizza you fancy, there’s a spot for you. That said, I’m a big fan of artisan dough, fresh ingredients, and a perfectly cooked pie. Bellillo is all of that and more.

Obviously, the location is super trendy. The fact that it’s open late is awesome. But nothing compares to how good the pizza is. I always start with a meatball appetizer and the cheese croquettes. They are on point like a decimal.

The Margherita pizza with the buffalo mozzarella is amazing. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken is awesome. And ending the night with a Nutella pizza with pistachios is like the cherry on the Sunday.

Ironically, we always get the same waiter, a young dude who has great table manners.

There’s nothing bad that I can say about this pizzeria.“

“Great staff, amazing food and awesome views!“

“Best salad … shrimp beets avocado OMG … 10 out of 10“

“As soon as I entered the restaurant I felt like I was returning to Italy, in particular to Rome for a moment, starting from the music, the scent of the food and the warm welcome of our waiter Mirko, who was able to advise us and immediately put us at our disposal. ease. I will definitely stay here again when I'm in Miami.“

“Very delicious food and the service team (especially Valentina) is very friendly and did a great job! We will come back ☺️“

“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!“

“The best place on the boulevard
I like the restaurant
They have a great menu
Flavors of the salads, almost Roma because they have a fresh and quality vegetables
You can enjoy the food with a delicious peroni beer“

“The food, service and ambiance get five stars. Everyone smiles and are on top of everything. Juan our server was gracious and attentive. I have been here several times and will keep on coming because of the attention to detail that is lacking in many restaurants in Miami. Thank you for another amazing experience.“

“Like Mike has quickly become a Grove favorite. We had a gathering here and I’m planning on returning weekly!“

“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!!!!!“

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

“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!!“

“There delicious Italian food made fresh and there great service ! And it's family friendly“

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

“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!
