Novecento Restaurant in Key Biscayne

We went for dinner on January 1st without a reservation. They said the wait would be 20–40 minutes, but it ended up being about an hour (we almost left). But as we sat down, everything got better. Our waiter, Emilio, totally saved the night. He was friendly, fast, and made sure we had everything we needed.
The food was really good and the vibe was fun. Even with the long wait, we left happy — thanks to Emilio.

Starting on a high note—the empanadas are phenomenal, easily the best I’ve had anywhere, and just as perfect as they were when I first tried them here four years ago. The chimichurri was also delicious. That consistency, along with the friendly staff, is what earns this place three stars.

Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn’t hold up. I ordered the ribeye medium rare, but it arrived almost moo-ing and far too fatty to redeem even if cooked perfectly. I should’ve sent it back but didn’t bother—the cut itself just wasn’t worth the effort.

The wine list was another disappointment: uninspired selection and roughly a 4x markup on bottles, so we passed altogether. I’ll definitely return, but only for the empanadas—they’re the clear standout here.

First of all I refuse to give a 5 to anyone- any restaurant - that doesn’t deserve it. Novecento on the island of key Biscayne, Florida deserves it hands down. We are passionate about following expert award winning chefs so are critical of service, presentation and quality of food. And we travel around the world experiencing flavors of the world.

Our recent experience at Novecento was spot on! Checking off all the boxes (as Paul Hollywood would say on the British Bake off ). We took advantage of the ‘34th anniversary lunch / dinner menu”.

A great 3 course meal at almost half the price and to top it off the ‘50% off Tuesday’ special on the fabulous wine selections.

My burrata and my husband’s Ceviche = fabulous and generous. All 3 of us ordered NY Steak, again spot on - cooked as ordered, and a generous portion, and flavorful. I rarely order mashed potatoes and not only did I eat mine I had to help my aunt with hers too!

The deserts- also something I generally skip - I couldn’t resist; excellent Flan, outstanding Crepes with Dulce de Leche with spectacular vanilla ice cream.

And the Wine!!! Absolutely amazing. Thank God my husband is quite a connoisseur of wines. It was fabulous to the last drop.

Luis Perez was our waiter and he was truly focused on our any everyone’s needs. Not missing a beat to make sure orders were paced nicely, not crowding you or rushing you - so your intimate moment was unforgettable !

Congratulations for the service and food BRAVO 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻. This restaurant is a must if on the island of Key Biscayne.
