We had a wonderful experience at Bella Cuba. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient; the food was delicious. The room is appealing and it is possible to have a dinner in which every person at the table (we were three) can hear each other speak clearly. Bella Cuba is superbly located—minutes by foot from the Lincoln Road pedestrian center, the Miami convention hall, and the New World Center, home to the New World Symphony. We had a terrific dinner and will happily...

This is a great place to get authentic Cuban dishes. The Oxtail is signature dish served with black bean rice and plantains was amazing. The Mojitos are excellent and finish your meal with Cuban Coffee. Very economical for Miami Beach.

Wonderful family run restaurant. Very friendly and knowledgeable service. The food is honest and tasted very fresh. I’m so glad we came here on our last night in town. Worth a walk away from the strip. You’ll know you’re in the right place because all the locals eat here. \n\nMy husband got the wrap with steak. I got the oxtail stew. Both were fabulous.
