50 Best Italian Restaurants near Miami Lakes

“This place was amazing! The food, service and atmosphere were beyond superb! Thank you!!!“

“Outstanding service lovely indoors“

“I'm giving 5 start because they make amazing pizza one of the best shrimp pizza I totally love the sauce it reminds me of vitanova. Crust it's expectacular. Now here is my criticisms and this is coming from someone that lives near your establishment and order from you. Is the margarita with quarter tomatoes? If you put some san marzano, basil mozzarella or burrata and some olive oil you'll have a killer pizza. As much as crave your other pizzas the margarita was the first one I eat the half of the first slice and I couldn't keep eating. I'm so sorry if I'm harsh but I see the potential your pizzeria has. You guys are amazing.“

“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!“

“At SoFlo Cinema Club, we love pairing our movies with good food & Mister 01 was the place to do it.

It was 7/8 of our first time there & we were surprised at how good it was.

I personally got the “Mimmo” pizza & it’s still on my mind days later.“

They were super easy to work with, arrived early, the chef was super professional, and most importantly thew pizza and salad were amazing. We will definitely be going back to these guys.“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at San Lorenzo! From the moment I arrived, everything was wonderful. The restaurant is very cozy, peaceful, and has a phenomenal atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.

The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely spectacular. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the lasagna was definitely my favorite—it was incredible and I absolutely loved it!

I also want to give a special mention to the valet parking attendant. He was extremely kind, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better from the moment I arrived.

Overall, San Lorenzo is a fantastic Italian restaurant with amazing food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!“

“Somos Italianos y hace mucho tiempo que dejamos de ir a restaurantes italianos donde sea fuera de Italia, para nosotros es mas o menos lo mismo: un poco mejor, un poco peor pero esencialmente es algo que conocemos, pero hasta ayer ningun restaurante nos impresionaba. Esta gente que se dice "trattotia" de eso no tiene nada es un establecimiento top y gourmet , hay platos verdaderamente unicos ycreativos. No es para quien quiere llenarse por 4 centavos sino para gente que este dispuesta a pagar por el placer gastronomico. En este espacio no puedo comunicar lo sorprendido que estuvimos con los platos de ahi: los gnocchi alla norcina son unicos, especiales y con un monton de trufas, el bonet con le pere y el pasticciotto furon postres exquisitos, el fritto misto excelentemente ejecutado y con una salsa excelente. Como consejo: alejense de los platos con caviar, no aportan al sabor y encarece el costo y vale la pena pagar el estacionamiento en vez de pedir las 3 horas gratis ( y se tiene que hacer corriendo si no llega el security del estacionamiento y pone multa). Casi se olvida, la focaccia me transporto a mi ni niñez...una esponjosidad especial...cuando preguntamos, es que la harina es importada de Puglia...con razon. Los precios para platos regulares son normales, solo los platos con caviar yo trufas se salen del rango, pero repito esos gnocchi fueron unicos. La atencion super esmerada de Paolo nuestro mesero, este señor es un profesional como los que se ven en restaurantes de rango, cuidadosso conocedor y muy cordial. Los dueños son extremedamente amables y tratan de acomodarse. Vamos a volver y lo vamos a recomendar a amigos que sabemos que les gustan las cosas bien hechas y, referente a mi ..la proxima vex que vaya creo que voy a repetir lo que me comi anoche..hasta que me canse y pase a otros platos.“

“Gem of an establishment! Located in downtown Miami, but once you cross the threshold it’s a world all on its own. A quaint, calm, romantic, and aromatic atmosphere. We were immediately greeted with kindness, attention and excitement. The menu was enthusiastically explained as well as a brief introduction to this fantastic, family owned business. The food was top tier! Amazing! The staff, from entrance to exit, were fabulous and well appointed. This is a MUST if you are in the Miami area. When we come back, we will definitely be back! Chefs kiss“

“Viviana made our experience at the restaurant truly wonderful. She was attentive, friendly and made us feel very welcome. The pasta I ordered was absolutely delicious and one of the highlights of the meal. Thank you Viviana for the great service!“

“Very good experience. It was my mom’s 85th birthday and we took her to have lunch at Il Forno! The service was very, very good. Pedro and Fabio were above and beyond. The food was very good. At the end they even gave us a printed picture of our family and a note for her birthday! It made her feel very special. Thank you!“

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

“Wow! So I have had my fair share of Italian food growing up with a family in New York and this place gives the best of what I have had a run for its money. Did take out last night and got home to discover some of the best food I’ve had in a very long time. The sauce is outstanding and they don’t skimp with it. I love a very saucy veal parm and was nervous that the online ordering did not have an option for extra sauce. I was very relieved when opening my order that I didn’t need it. Can’t wait to eat in person because the restaurant has an extremely cozy and intimate atmosphere. Don’t sleep on this place. Head over now!!“

“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!!“

“incredible meal. prices were ironically too affordable“

“I came during Miami Spice 2026 while traveling. The food was great and Samet’s service was just what I wanted - attentive without hovering. He brought each course when I was ready and I didn’t feel rushed. I would definitely recommend!“

“Beautiful place, romantic atmosphere delicious food, incredible service. Just perfect“

“Unbelievably great food and service My Wife hosted my 70-birthday dinner at Capriccio's and all I can say was it was one of the most enjoyable dinner experiences I have had in a very long time. Capriccio’s is a warm, friendly place, with fabulous food and an unsurpassed wait staff, led by William. Having my family and friends celebrate this occasion with me will be a wonderful memory. Everyone attending could not stop raving about the food. Needless to say, Capriccio’s has some new customers!“

“Great place. Best kept secret in Doral. I wish I did not have to write this review. I know that more people will come, leaving me to wait, but it’s was worthwhile to take the time to write it. I am amazed at the attention, dedication and atmosphere here at any time we come. We always come back, and repeat the whole experience again with Maria Angel, Rodrigo. Thank you for your time and taking the time to always make it unique.

Kind regards“

“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.“

“Best Italian I’ve ever had! I love this place and the clams oregenado bring tears to my eyes each and every time 💞“
