Honestly, with all this hype I thought I will eat an amazing food But the food was average nothing crazy Very expensive The rest restaurant is romantic and nice atmosphere. The service was great other than that overpriced and the food is average.

We visit the restaurant at least 4-6 times a year. The food and the atmosphere is always superb. The service is impeccable and the food presentation and taste are excellent.

We sat outside and the owner and others were gathered in an area outside the restaurant but right next to the outside seating area and were smoking. That was very unpleasant. The music is really bad pop. Food okay. Artichokes and Tuna Tartar nothing to write home about. Branzino was boring. Pastas were delicious and cooked perfectly. Go for pasta! Service was satisfactory. I don't think we will be back.

Aside from the must have spectacular pistachio ice cream, the food was solid but not amazing. The grilled octopus was not grilled properly and was more like jelly than grilled. The burrata salad was good. The Cascio Pepe could have been a bit heavier on the Parmesan and pepper too but the pasta used was too thick. Great ambiance and a great date spot. Solid food but nothing memorable. Will be back!

Food is good but extremely overpriced, the service is very slow.. I've been to the best restaurants around the world and it was just ok.. I don't mind spending money but it has to be really wow on everything including food, service, attention, everything and it wasn't like that.. Very nice looking spot

Rude and unprofessional manager
The food was good and the place itself is nice, which makes this experience even more disappointing. The real issue was the manager, a woman in her 30s, who was extremely rude and unprofessional. She behaved badly not only with us as customers, but also with a waiter, openly scolding and humiliating him in front of everyone instead of helping him while he was clearly struggling. This happened a few weeks ago while I was on vacation in Miami, and once I returned home I felt compelled to leave this review. As a business owner myself, I find this kind of behavior absolutely unacceptable. No matter how good the food is, treating staff and guests with disrespect is a shame. I sincerely hope the owners see this review and take action, because management like this can ruin an otherwise good place.

La carta es muy escueta. No tiene gran variedad de platos. El servicio es bueno, son muy amables. El nivel de ruido es tremendo, no se puede ni hablar. La música terriblemente alta y no está preparada la acústica del lugar. Precio calidad no coincide, excepto la entrada Pata Negra que es muy buena. No lo recomiendo.
Luciana
El ambiente me encantó, la comida buena y servicio bueno también. Lo que no me gustó fue la el ruido musica alta y muy cerca las mesas.

An authentic Italian dining experience in a beautiful setting for special occasions. The veal Milanese is a must as is the Pistachio ice cream tower. Great service and ambiance.

Everything they make is art. We loved every second we spent at this place. The hostesses are amazing, the ambiance perfect, and the music is ideal. Each dish was perfection. Our only regret is not being able to finish dessert but at a certain point you have to put the spoon down and have some measure of self control.
Alla Nerano and Truffled Cacio e Pepe are the best in town for sure. Always an excellent choice to have dinner in Miami

Absolutely the best restaurant, and my most favorite since 2021 ❤️ had the best birthday. Food, ambience, staff, hostess, everything was amazing and as I wanted it to be, and even better that I thought! Thank you so much to Marco, to Francesca, and for everyone who attended my table. I appreciate it a lot.

I came here for my husband and mother’s birthday this weekend and had a horrible experience. First of all, the hostesses are extremely pretentious and rude. We got there at 6:20 for a 6:15 reservation when the restaurant was still empty, they told us to go wait at the bar (which we didn’t bc it was an empty restaurant)and then after waiting 5 min or so they sat us in a corner table Where my husband’s chair was in the bushes, literally. When I mentioned this they said they’d move the table… normally that would work but this table already only had 3 chairs because it was so close to the next table and the space they left empty was for servers to pass by. It just wouldn’t work. So we asked to move to another 4 top in the empty restaurant and the hostess said no for no reason and just gave us another 4 top in the main aisle where people were passing us nonstop. It just makes no sense why feel so empowered you couldn’t just give us the 4 top we requested which was behind a pole, not the middle of The restaurant or anything. Then we ordered our food: appetizer, 2 pastas, ordered 2 entrees….. and it started off well with our app then our pasta… but then we were left waiting over an hour. I see other larger parties who came later than us start to get their entrees and I knew something was off BUT THEN our server comes to our table and asks us about dessert!!!! I’m like uh we haven’t even gotten our entrees?!? Turns out he never fired them off to be made. It completely ruined my husband and mom’s birthday. I felt so embarrassed picking such a pretentious overpriced spot that couldn’t even match that vibe they’re going for with good service. We never got our entrees and just decided to leave bc we had been there way too long at this point. The server comped our 1 round of drinks at least to try to make up for it, which I appreciated because I wouldn’t want to give this restaurant a dime. So in the end we spent $185 on an octopus appetizer and 2 pasta dishes (no protein) lol. What a dinner celebration. Lastly, I’d like to add I am a south of 5th local and have lived in Miami my entire life. We had tried to go one other time and the hostess rudely turned us away bc my father in law was in shorts. Um it’s Miami, it’s hot and it’s not like you see the shorts when he’s seated. However, this weekend I saw a guy in a sleeveless shirt… that didn’t look “dress code” appropriate. You’re a little restaurant in the SoFi neighborhood with locals, not a club, and if you’re going to have a dress code then maybe be consistent. I think a man in a sleeveless shirt at prime time dinner hour is way more of a dress code violation than nice shorts that can’t be seen when the person is sitting. I know Joe’s one rule is no sleeveless shirts for men so that’s why I mention it.
