50 Best Italian Restaurants in Miami Beach

“Best Italian restaurant in Miami“

“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.“

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

“I think they're all great“

“One of my all time favorites in Miami.
You cannot go wrong with any of the pasta dishes. We ordered a few but I only got a picture of the white pomodoro vongole, which was delicious. Very fresh without being too garlicky or heavy on the stomach. There pasta is always fresh and would taste great without any sauce. The red sauces (their specialty I believe) just make it all that much better.
My favorite salad of all time is their tricolore salad, I would come here just to have this and one of their cocktails. They have proper cocktails, well balanced and with premium liquors and ingredients.
The inside section is beautiful but be warned it is freezing inside, bring a sweater.
The outside while very pleasantly ventilated with fans everywhere is nice however is missing that beautiful design and ambiance felt inside.“

“The best sandwiches in Miami. Delicious and healthy“

“If you’re in South Beach and looking for a cozy spot with great Italian food and genuinely wonderful service, Il Bolognese is the place to be. But what truly made our evening special was our server, Anissa, she was a total star — thoughtful, warm, and incredibly attentive. 🌟“

“Great spot on Ocean Drive! Excellent service, friendly staff, and perfect for people-watching. Prices are reasonable — you can get a decent bottle of wine starting at $40. Overall, a relaxed vibe with good food and great atmosphere. Ceviche, spaghetti alla vongole are delicious. Good cocktails, too.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at Corallo! The restaurant is elegant and beautifully designed, with the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a special night out.

The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and very professional. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was absolutely delicious, made with super fresh ingredients and full of authentic Mediterranean flavor. The fried calamari were light, crispy, and perfectly cooked.

We paired our meal with a great Italian wine and finished with a homemade tiramisu that was simply outstanding.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality Italian cuisine in the heart of Miami Beach! 🇮🇹✨“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

“Great staff, amazing food and awesome views!“

“Di Mauro’s on Collins Avenue is an absolute 10/10 experience from start to finish!!
Our server, Mauro, was incredible.
Attentive, warm, and genuinely made us feel taken care of the entire night.
The food was outstanding. I ordered the cheese wheel, and wow. So flavorful, perfectly creamy, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. One friend had the lasagna, which was rich and comforting, and the other ordered the Cacio e Pepe cheese wheel, equally delicious and unforgettable.
From the ambiance to the service to the quality of the food, everything was perfection. This place truly delivers on every level. We can’t wait to come back!“

“D E L I S H ✅ I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp OMG“

“An absolute gem of an Italian restaurant! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special night out. The food was incredible, authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and every dish cooked to perfection. The wine selection was delicious, pairing beautifully with each dish. On top of that, the service was exceptional attentive without being intrusive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Located in such a perfect and lively area, it’s the kind of place you can’t wait to return to.“

“Fabulous food and drinks, matched by impeccable service!“

“When walking through the Lincon in search of food, what caught my attention was the decoration of the terrace, and its very good state of cleanliness. This is why I decided to ask for a table, the staff was very attentive, the waiter (Argentinian) knew how to recommend the dish, perfect temperature, good presentation.“

“Posto fantastico dove si può gustare la vera cucina italiana con prodotti fresca e di qualità la amatriciana e un qualcosa di afrodisiaco per il palato consigliassimo. Attilio e un amicone.“

“The food was so delicious. My girlfriends and I were seeking amazing Cuban food and that's exactly what we got. The ceviche was fantastic, ropa vieja was hearty and flavorful. The juices were fresh and full of pulp. 10/10 recommend! I'll definitely be returning.“

“Amazing, the best Lasagna and Salmone in Miami. Great service“

“Highly recommend if you’re looking for good Italian food at a decent price. It’s so hard to find affordable food off Lincoln road & am glad this place exists and provides great food at a reasonable price. The mozzarella sticks are fire and definitely recommend asking for extra sauce with them bc the one side of sauce is not enough. If you’re looking for a good sandwich, get the chicken parm as it is crispy, delicious, and filling. My sister enjoys their pasta too. The only downside is that it can be a long wait time during high peak times due to demand & the fact that they have 1 cook making everything, so just be patient and I swear it will be worth it.“

“Pasta feast tonight - Squid ink and fish, black & white thin pasta (really good...our favorite!!!!), pumpkin ravioli with butter truffle sauce (Little sweet and great flavor), bone marrow with salsa verde and calamari. Everything was really delicious. I highly recommend.“

“Food and Music and Service and Atmosphere and PalmTrees and Ocean Dr. and Food Again. Amazing!! Gloria Estefan's restaurant..... I highly recommend!!“

“Amazing smoothie!! The smoothies are made to order!! Had the strawberry mango smoothie and it was made with high quality fruit! My friends ordered the blueberry strawberry flavor and loved it too! would highly recommend this place if you are around!!“

“Best breakfast and pastries. Excellent customer service!“

“We are staying at the Fontainebleu and were excited to visit Mirabella as the head chef has earned Michelin stars in the past. The food did not disappoint. I had an incredible Osso buco that was one of the best dishes I've ever had and a truly excellent Caesar salad. I thought the food prices were fair for a high-end restaurant at a hotel. The wine list was extensive and served by a sommelier but I thought were quite expensive even by hotel restaurant standards. The least expensive bottle on the menu was $70 and most were upwards of $200. We found a sicilian chardonnay for $140 that was a reasonable compromise. The service was impeccable as well. The only negative was that our food was slow to be served during a time that was not super busy. Overall, would give 4.8/5 stars if it was possible.“

“Absolutely amazing food! Me and my family were so glad we spent our last meal of our vacation at this restaurant. The service was also impeccable. FOOD IS AN ABSOLUTE 10/10 HUGE Portions. My new favorite spot in Miami, way better than tourist trap restaurants on ocean drive. I’m told it’s a locals spot!. Deffo recommended.“

“Comida rica buen ambiente“

“El mejor restaurante de comida italiana en toda Av. Lincoln.“

“Pomp and circumstance are not always indicative of service and value, but sometimes they are willing bedfellows. Candidly, I am not a big drinker or scene guy, so my feedback is based mostly on how we were treated and the vibes. The NYC lounge was filling quickly on a busy Thursday, but we decided to wing it without a reservation. A friendly server told us we could sit on the central couches, which we gladly accepted. Shortly thereafter, the manager, Daniele Balsano, approached us calmly and apologetically, regretting that the server was unaware of a previous reservation. In short order, he separated a four-top along the street-facing windows to be sure we had a place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. No belittling or sense of entitlement, just prompt, polite, and professional hospitality that manifested results versus excuses. Daniele was attentive throughout with his charming accent, dapper appearance, and warm demeanor. Furthermore, Daniele stopped us on the way out to personally apologize for the seating mishap, and even gave us his business card with his personal phone number, insisting that we reach out next time we wanted to visit. I cannot speak to the libations, but we ended up befriending the couple next to us and had a wonderful conversation. I can speak to the tasty snack trio they bring for all guests, which is a nice tip of the old New York hat to Bemelmans across the street. So, all things considered, while the aesthetic and prices are on par for similar places, the value is readily apparent because you feel welcomed and appreciated by way of the top-notch service. Bravo Daniele, grazie mille amico!“

“Great staff, amazing food and awesome views!“
