50 Best Italian Restaurants near Key Biscayne

“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.“

“Delicious food. The grilled octopus was amazing!“

“Went on a Tuesday evening and there were only a few patrons inside. Waitress gave me a few recommendations which I took. The slow cooked vacio was tender & delicious. Was like your grandmother did the cooking. The a jus it was served with was full of flavor. If you enjoy meat & potatoes this is your dish. They serve it with a butter knife:)
The limoncello cake for desert was unique and delicious as well. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and I look forward to a return trip.“

“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“

“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 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.“

“ate at the IL Bolognese restaurant for two days and was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
On the first night, the linguine seafood pasta was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and I finished the whole plate. On the second day, I tried the lobster ravioli, which was rich and delicious but had a very large portion that was hard to finish. I also had tiramisu, which was creamy and satisfying.
Overall, the food is above average for a hotel restaurant, especially the seafood dishes, but portions are quite big.“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

“We recently dined at Luca Osteria and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional... beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. Every dish we ordered was fresh, authentic, and memorable.
A special thank you to our server, Alex?? who truly elevated the evening. Alex was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect throughout our meal. The ambiance at Luca Osteria is vibrant and inviting, with an energetic atmosphere that feels both upscale and comfortable. It's the kind of place that's perfect for a date night, celebration, or simply a great meal with friends.
We look forward to returning sometime in the near future and highly recommend Luca Osteria to anyone looking for outstanding Italian cuisine, exceptional service, and a fantastic dining experience. 😋🤌“

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

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

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“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.“

“Decided to stop by here for early dinner happy hour. We had the pleasure of having Valentina as our server. Valentina super kinda , attentive and recommend seafood and land platter along with some mojitos . We’re from Los Angeles so Thank you Valentina for welcoming us!! Highly recommend Valentina as your service at this great location.
Gracias Valentina nos atendiste muy muy bien 10/10. Super amable.“

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

“We sat outside for supper, it was a beautiful evening in Miami! We shared the Aristotele salad and the Capricciosa pizza, SO DELICIOUS. Our server was Chantale, she was helpful, knowledgeable and had a good personality. We may come back for lunch tomorrow before we sail away!“

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

“I always grab dinner here when I’m in Miami and it’s phenomenal. The chef’s tasting is excellent and A LOT of food so you won’t leave hungry. Did the pasta omakase recently and was blown away by the creativity of the dishes so I highly recommend it, if you’re in town on a Wednesday. The service is always a 10/10 as well.“

“Great staff, amazing food and awesome views!“

“We stayed in Miami for a couple of nights and tried different places for dinner , but this one was on a whole different level. The food , Service and the staff was sooo good. Authentic and a must go.
Shot out goes to the chef for giving personalised service and making us feel so special. He is the kindest and made food personally which was very delicious.

“Cena a base di ostriche buonissime. Great service from Tony !“

“Awesome food ! Incredible atmosphere!!!“

“Servers were as good as it gets. Food was nothing short of awesome. 1st time there. Unfortunately, daughter graduated, so won't be back as much. When I do, I will definitely come back. Don't give 5 stars often, but this place needs no improvements. If they have veal melenaise, get it. Unreal. Table side Tiramassu was also fantastic. Whole thing blew me away.“

“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. Definitely recommend to take a break from shopping at the Design District at Sofia Miami.“

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

“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.“

“Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! Special thanks to Gianna and Rayan for their outstanding service. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the visit. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and their hospitality made the experience even better.“

“Everything was great the pizza salad wine“

“The drinks were perfect, the wine list extensive and the food delicious. The rack of lamb was done to perfection and the pastas divine. Highly recommend going. Can’t wait to go back“

“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.“

“I highly recommend this place. Good food, nice view and wonderful service. Tim the manager is great..“

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

“I love this place. Personally I think it’s one of the most beautiful restaurants in Miami, and we’ve been there four times.

However, during our last visit, we ordered one bottle of water with dinner. The waiters kept pouring water into our glasses, later we realized they charged us for a second bottle without asking. The water cost $9. I think they should have asked before opening another bottle.

Our bill was over $300, and we didn’t complain. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time. During our first visit, the bartender charged us for a drink we didn’t order. I thought it was an honest mistake, but now I feel they aren’t very careful with billing.

I love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the food, but I was very disappointed with this experience.“

“what a great restaurant great service, very friendly and professional. the food delicious, causy place for couple and groups“

“Very good food, and they were all very attentive, I will recommend dining there 100%.“

“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!!!!!“

“Great food and very nice 🍺“

“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.“

“Ten out of ten. Mother Wolf Miami delivered one of the best Italian meals I’ve had outside of Italy, honestly, I’d imagine this is close to the real thing.

We started with the panzanella salad, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. The lamb chops were cooked beautifully, and the gnocchi were pillowy soft with incredible flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to the meal.

Our server, Ryan, made the night even better , attentive, knowledgeable, and just genuinely great to have at our table.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Already thinking about when we can go back.“

“My experience at Donatella was amazing. I reserved a seat for one and upon arrival I was quickly seated. I was served by a server named Nana. He was very attentive & caring for my experience at the restaurant. The food and drinks were great. My favorite dish was the salad of grilled pears and goat cheese. Alongside that, I ordered the prime ribeye & roasted potatoes. It was a ton of delicious food, great portions. I will return again and the price is very well worth it.“
