50 Best Italian Restaurants near Key Biscayne

“Delicious food. The grilled octopus was amazing!“

“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.“

“Parrilla argentina bien lograda, con los platos representativos de la comida argentina. No hay que salir de Key Biscayne para comer carne de buen nivel. Buena selección de vinos argentinos y un flan con dulce de leche...de los mejores que he probado!! Fuimos con ninguna expectativa y nos sorprendieron.“

“Wonderful place! We had lunch here on a Saturday evening and everything was perfect. The portions of the dishes were great for the prices, and just as tasty. Our server, Gisela, was very friendly and explained the menu of the day. The coffee was also just as good as the entrees. And the music was the cherry on top--tranquil italian jazz.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best dining experience. INCREDIBLE FOOD. An awesome atmosphere. Drinks are beautifully presented and delicious. Michelle was a delightful server who made the dining experience fantastic with her perfect service, along with Luis, Luigi, and all the staff who were extremely kind, helpful, and made the experience perfect. It’s no wonder Luca is a hot spot- this place is the BEST!“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“I came to this restaurant because I wanted fabulous food. The menu looked good. Sat at the bar and Tony was my bartender. Attentive prompt and precise. He recommended a couple things but I settled on the Mediterranean branzino. It was light and lovely and so easy as the service. Thank you for making my one big meal fabulous.“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

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

“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.“

“Our orders were delicious and fresh. Will definitely visit again.“

“Great pasta, great wine, amazing vibe!!“

“First stop on arrival to Miami; enjoy the ambiance, excitement, and tropical style outdoor dining experience; excellent place to people-gaze and tingle your palate with well prepared savory dishes according to your dietary needs or preference. Oh, get happy or happier with superbly mixed libations!! Say hello to Valentina; she is an exceptional waiter, with a dazzling disposition, and professionalism; she and the entire staff will make your visit Ocean Drive leisure-stop more memorable, enjoyable, and entertaining!“

“We had a great experience un piola, Melissa our server was wonderful! She was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. She really made our visit more enjoyable. Thank you for the great service!“

“I can’t believe anyone would leave this place a bad review.

I’ve been here a million times over the last ten years.

Tricolore salad is maybe the best salad in any restaurant in Florida.

The polenta dish is a total stunner.

Pasta pomodoro is a top 5 pomodoro of my life.

The mushroom pasta also life changing….

Service is always solid.

Cocktail program is very good plus they get drinks out pretty fast for an ambitious restaurant program.

Desserts very good.

New renovation-love it…..“

“Our experience at Elia was amazing the food, ambiance and service were a 10/10. Our waiter was extremely nice and sweet, and was able to accommodate us perfectly when we needed to switch tables. Would definitely return to try more of the menu and would recommend Orlando as your waiter!“

“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.“

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Tullio for the third time, and once again, we had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the atmosphere is elegant, and the service was outstanding. We didn't mention our anniversary in advance, but somehow they remembered us from a year ago and congratulated us—a very special touch! We ordered the Chateaubriand for two and absolutely loved it. We also tried the pistachio gelato; a little expensive, but delicious! Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service.“

“We celebrated my birthday at Sofia and had great experience. Our sitting was very comfortable under the pink umbrella, the food and drink were great and our server Patrizio was amazing, he made us feel very welcome.

We had a reservation at another restaurant but we ended up being late because the ambience and the service is the best and people are so lovely and attentive we wanted to stay here for the rest of the night! Thank you“

“We had lunch at Felice in Brickell today and it was AMAZING. We drove from Fort Lauderdale and its location is so easy to reach from I-95 and we loved the valet parking so prompt. The restaurant has a wonderful outside dining area, made private by luscious plants, fans, heaters, modern furniture and decor, but we opted to dine inside due to the bad weather. The dining room is quite elegant but contemporary, the tablecloths and silverware on point, which is important for us. The overall service quality was superb, from hostess Manuela's warm reception, to Flavio the manager's exquisite charm, to the skilled waiter's attentiveness, and we even got to meet Chef Luigi to compliment him on each of the dishes we enjoyed. Most importantly, everyone was really Italian and spoke Italian, which was so refreshing, since we are also Italian from the actual Country ! We loved the refined ambiance and relaxed atmosphere which made the authentic Northern Italian dishes taste even better ! Food and drink wise: the Mojito we started with was most delicious ! A Bubbly Prosecco DOC was our choice to enjoy the meal. For appetizers we had Tuna Carpaccio with capers, but it was as fancy as a Tuna Tartar, and scrumptious shrimps in pink sauce with a touch of Jalapeno. For the entrees, we went with the New York strip with Truffle and Mushroom which came inside a fancy copper pan; we were impressed by the very generous portion boasting an aroma and flavor we hardly tasted anywhere else other than Italy, and a classic Branzino al Cartoccio, which came inside the actual "cartoccio" it was baked within, and its freshness and flavor were amazing. Side dishes were delicious too: we ordered char-grilled asparagus and the best home made French Fries EVER! All the food was "clean", fresh, cooked to perfection, with no heavy sauce or seasoning covering/altering the actual flavor of the main ingredients like most "Italian" restaurants do here in Sfla. We appreciated that immensely! We "tried" to end with a nice espresso only.....but they insisted we had a bite of their Tiramisu dessert and we obliged. Obviously, it was delicious too. Hence, as far as REAL Italian restaurants in South Florida are concerned, we recommend this place wholeheartedly, and we will be back very soon to taste more of their dishes. OVERALL : 10 STARS!!!!!“

“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.“

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