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.“

“I came for happy hour and I had an amazing experience. From 4 to 7 they do buy one get one free drinks, I got two margaritas and they were delicious! My friend got lychee martinis and they were also amazing. For appetizer to snack on we got salmon tartar, which was unbelievable for the price. Our server, Barbara was amazing, super friendly, and super helpful. I could not recommend this place more to anybody else.“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

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

“I think they're all great“

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

“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.“

“Valentina is absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, friendly, and always has a smile on her face. Sheis incredibly helpful and always happy to answer our questions and offer recommendations. Thank you so much, Valentina, for making our experience so pleasant! We truly appreciate your excellent service.“

“We had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and full of flavor. Every dish we ordered was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

A special thank you to Chantale, who made our visit truly memorable. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, always checking in at just the right time and making sure we had everything we needed. Her genuine kindness and outstanding service made us feel so well taken care of.

We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Piola to anyone looking for a fantastic meal paired with exceptional hospitality. Thank you, Chantale, for making our evening so enjoyable!“

“they were out of main dishes which sucked. but its always delicious (:

in my opinion they have the best desserts. their tiramisu is so unique and delicious. would keep going back just for that. highly recommend ordering it when you go wat there. definitely make a reservation, the chances of you being able to get a seat without one during the weekend is slim. its worth going to!“

“I stayed at a hotel right nearby and went in for breakfast. The three of us ordered different foods, and I can not say enough great things about the facility or what they served us. When we walked in, we were greeted by a woman who should be teaching customer service. We ordered the egg sandwich served in a croissant, with a light sugar topping that was heavenly. We also had the breakfast parfait, which was amazing. Awesome meal.“

“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!“

“Best breakfast and pastries. Excellent customer service!“

“I went there Last Saturday with my mom and my two fur babies so we sat outside of course and Rebecca was Soooo super friendly and helpful that it made it our visit there extremely enjoyable. The ambiance and service are excellent. The food: Was so super tasty and flavorful. We ordered the Bruschetta (delicious), the prosciutto and mozzarella (fabulous) and a pizza (stunning). We absolutely enjoyed everything and will definitely be returning. My fur babies had an excellent time as well and they will also be returning with us. They even had some of the food and totally agree. Absolutely delicious 😋. Thank you Rebecca for everything and we will see you real soon. 😘“

“Comida rica buen ambiente“

“We ordered from Uber Eats and this order was surprisingly good - tired of chain restaurants. The only let down was that there no sauce to go with the garlic cheese bread which should be a given maybe I should call and ask next time?

But def try it !!“
