50 Best Italian Restaurants near Miami Gardens

“Delivery was a little bit late due to traffic, but worth the wait. Had me some stuffed crust pizza and some asiago bread. Filled me down. I should remember to get possibly a Detroit style next time. Maybe some dessert. If I have the money for it. It's plain to see why they call it HUNGRY Howie's. And was I ever hungry!“

“I had a fantastic experience last night! The service is top tier--Marco and the rest of the staff are kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I had the best beef carpaccio ever--try it, they put a unique spin on the traditional dish--followed by the baby artichoke hearts and accompanied by an amazing Swiss Pinot Noir from Lucas Madonia. One of the best dinners I've had in a while and I'm frequently out. Highly recommend this quirky and cool restaurant!“

“Fast service, very courteous, and great food for a good price. The hostess Erika was very kind and was offering alternatives when there was a long wait. Our server Daniela was very nice and welcoming informing us the history of the restaurant and suggesting what is good to order.“

“Ten out of ten. Mother Wolf Miami delivered one of the best Italian meals I’ve had outside of Italy, honestly, I’d imagine this is close to the real thing.

We started with the panzanella salad, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. The lamb chops were cooked beautifully, and the gnocchi were pillowy soft with incredible flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to the meal.

Our server, Ryan, made the night even better , attentive, knowledgeable, and just genuinely great to have at our table.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Already thinking about when we can go back.“

“From the moment I stepped into Cucina Italiana, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Our server was both knowledgeable and attentive, recommending the perfect pairings for our meal. To start, the bruschetta was a symphony of flavors, with the freshest tomatoes and just the right hint of garlic. The main course, homemade fettuccine alfredo, was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the chef’s expertise with perfectly cooked pasta and a creamy, rich sauce that was flavorful yet not overwhelming. What truly set Cucina Italiana apart was the attention to detail. From the perfectly timed courses to the subtle yet inviting decor, every aspect of our meal was thoughtfully curated. As for dessert, the tiramisu was a delightful end to our meal. It was airy, with just the right touch of espresso, leaving us thoroughly satisfied yet longing for our next visit. In a nutshell, Cucina Italiana is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey that I would recommend to anyone seeking an exceptional Italian dining experience in Dania Beach. It’s a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Bravo! Feel free to adjust this review to better match your personal experience at the restaurant!“

“Our first time for lunch and we had a wonderful dining experience at Altamura Trattoria. The food was excellent, with authentic Italian flavors and high-quality ingredients in every dish. Our server, Agusto, was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials, took the time to answer our questions, and made excellent recommendations that did not disappoint. His attentive and friendly service made our meal even more enjoyable. Combined with the warm atmosphere and delicious food, it was a memorable experience. I also loved the beautiful plants outside the restaurant, which added to the charming atmosphere and made the experience feel even more inviting.“

“Atención 10 Comida y tragos 9 Lugar 7“

“Reservations on Saturday 6/20 at 830. Got seated at 920 or so, which was fine as there was time for us to take pictures. A little backed up which is understandable. Service was a bit slow afterwards (we got our food before we got our drinks). I was looking forward to the live r&b music vibe, they performed a little bit at about 10pm? No r&b music though. Which is why I came“

“Had a fantastic experience at San Lorenzo. Food was excellent and service was extremely professional, which is rare in Miami. Team was super friendly and accommodating. Would love to come back. Portions are quite generous for two, come prepared with an appetite.“

“I frequently visit this spot, but this afternoon I stop by to pickup a meal, the young girl server in there was very rude and decided to skip me and take someone else’s order while waiting for my order. The other gentleman there was kind enough to wait until I received my food. The server needs to be retrained on treating all customers with respect regardless of your personal feelings towards them.“

“amazing service and drinks in Miami's trendiest neighborhood. Highly recommend it. Mangia!“

“a veranda with a beautiful view of the ocean ,a children's room and very tasty food , I recommend visiting this restaurant ????“

“What a great experience. Everything was so well made. The starters were fresh and well balanced. The tuna tartare and octopus dish were standouts for me. We also had a mushroom special that blew us away. The pastas were amazing. The portions were generous and the dessert was delicious too. What made this even better was the service. Carol (sorry if I misspelled the name!!) was our server and she was amazing. She explained everything really well and was just such a delight. Will definitely be back. Probably one of my favorite meals so far in 2026! This place deserves all the praise!!“

“Am amazing place for meeting with friends and enjoying a great traditional east european and italian cuisine. The music is making the atmosphere even more immersive. Many thanks Michael for your service and to owners for hospitality!!🥰🥰🍷🍷🧆🍛“

“Delicious food, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable“

“Outstanding service lovely indoors“

“Pizza tasted very organic with home made taste ingredients, tasted like the italian pizza from Venezuela, they have classics, but offered corn and bacon pizza (Venezuelan combination), and new ingredients like with truffle oil, burrata, arugula, etc. Place was clean, they have other vendors around with different type of food like hot dogs and grilled steak but tab will be separate.“

“EVERYTHING was delicious. This was the best dough I’ve had here in the states. The Boquerones were so fresh! If you love anchovies, these are a must! I actually have a gluten sensitivity but ate the whole Pinsa and did not have any reactions or feel bloated like I normally do. The carpaccio was delicious too! And don’t get me started on the service, the owner took our order and cooked the food and was so welcoming.“

“I was helped by Australia and Gabi, They were super professional and friendly and were able to get my meal out quick and offered amazing recommendations. The meal came out quick but it definitely didn’t lack in quality. One of the best Italian meals i’ve had in a while here in Miami. 10/10 would come again. Great atmosphere, AMAZING staff and delicious food.“

“This was our first time eating here in Grapevine Texas location. My husband and I had a Caesar salad and a meat lovers pizza. The Caesar salad was huge and we took home half of it. The pizza is crispy and fresh out of the oven. It was a great meal. We had a friendly and knowledgeable, waitress named Kelsey. On the way out, we met the owner Luis. He was very friendly and took the time to talk about their restaurants and all the other locations they had. We will definitely be back.“
