28 Best Italian Restaurants in Miami

“Awesome food ! Incredible atmosphere!!!“

“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!“

“Boia De is very special. Bold flavor with a delicate execution. The staff are humbly proud of their accomplishments and the Michelin Star is well deserved. The smoked muscles were delicious you need them. Steak tar-tar you must have. The gnocchi will change your life and the lamb could alter they ways of man & possibly change the world. No liquor needed here. Creative mixology with sake & Pilsner will make you happy. Desert a must… buy 2. Or 3.. Love from Mary & Peter“

“Lunch at Bellini’s at Mr. C’s: An Italian Escape in Coconut Grove. Friday afternoon lunch for girlfriends to catch up. From the moment we arrived at Bellini’s, with a warm welcome from Beni and his staff, the restaurant’s elegant ambiance and breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay set the stage for an enjoyable afternoon. Service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. We were quickly seated and offered a selection of fine Italian wines. Choosing a crisp Gavi de Gavi to compliment, the Tagliolini with white Alba truffles was truly the highlight of our meal. This dish was a true celebration of Italian culinary artistry: the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the generous shavings of white truffle added an earthy, aromatic richness that elevated every bite. The chef’s restraint allowed the delicate flavors to shine, making each mouthful both decadent and refined. Thank you Bellini, we will be back.“

“espectacular 👌 me encantó“

“Came to Elia for the first time for a date night. Vibes were amazing with the live music, beautiful scenery with the patio being open with the inside. John our server was amazing, gave wonderful recommendations and was very personable. Food and drinks definitely exceeded expectations so I will definetly be coming back! Going to come for brunch to see John once again and try the food.“

“Food: Chopped salad 9/10, wagyu carpaccio w/truffle 10/10, big meatball BEST I’ve ever had 12/10, spicy rigatoni, 8.5/10 very good was not spicy though, bone marrow pasta 8/10. Tiramisu 6/10. Service was very slow, took about 8 min for someone to come over and fill our water glass, same with the server coming over which was disappointing for this caliber of a restaurant. Drinks daisy age: 9/10, odb 9/10, expresso martini beware MOST expensive drink I’ve ever had with was ridiculous. $34 prob bc I got casamigos reposado. Even for Miami this is expensive.“

“Since the opening last year, this restaurant has been my #1 choice for Italian in Miami. The chef has Michelin Stars in Europe and Dubai. Very fine dining with reasonable prices. The service team was exceptional, attentive to every detail. Honestly, you don’t find it in Miami. The waiters take their time to tell a story behind each dish. The service is fast but there is no rush.

Great cocktails and the bartender knows what he is doing because every time I ask for a custom cocktail, they always make it exactly like I ask.

The food is extraordinary. You feel like you visited Italy. I always get a modern salad which has 14 dressings!!! The selection of pasta is great. My favorites are Veal Ragu and Tortellini.

If I could, I would come here every day“

“If you love thin crust pizza, this is your place! They bring creativity to pizza which I love. Can’t wait to taste each and every one! Would love to see cannoli’s offered with dessert coffees.“

“New favorite spot! Our entire evening at Sofia (11/2/25) was amazing, starting from the moment we arrived all the way to the moment we left. The food was DELISH, loved their brunch options, great value, and loved how it goes til 5pm. They were extremely accommodating to every request, were incelredibly friendly, and went above and beyond. Our server, Nico, even ran after us as we were leaving to check if it had begun raining and then handed us a large umbrella on the house. Love love love this place, thank you to everyone at Sofia 💕“

“We had lunch at Felice in Brickell today and it was AMAZING. We drove from Fort Lauderdale and its location is so easy to reach from I-95 and we loved the valet parking so prompt. The restaurant has a wonderful outside dining area, made private by luscious plants, fans, heaters, modern furniture and decor, but we opted to dine inside due to the bad weather. The dining room is quite elegant but contemporary, the tablecloths and silverware on point, which is important for us. The overall service quality was superb, from hostess Manuela's warm reception, to Flavio the manager's exquisite charm, to the skilled waiter's attentiveness, and we even got to meet Chef Luigi to compliment him on each of the dishes we enjoyed. Most importantly, everyone was really Italian and spoke Italian, which was so refreshing, since we are also Italian from the actual Country ! We loved the refined ambiance and relaxed atmosphere which made the authentic Northern Italian dishes taste even better ! Food and drink wise: the Mojito we started with was most delicious ! A Bubbly Prosecco DOC was our choice to enjoy the meal. For appetizers we had Tuna Carpaccio with capers, but it was as fancy as a Tuna Tartar, and scrumptious shrimps in pink sauce with a touch of Jalapeno. For the entrees, we went with the New York strip with Truffle and Mushroom which came inside a fancy copper pan; we were impressed by the very generous portion boasting an aroma and flavor we hardly tasted anywhere else other than Italy, and a classic Branzino al Cartoccio, which came inside the actual "cartoccio" it was baked within, and its freshness and flavor were amazing. Side dishes were delicious too: we ordered char-grilled asparagus and the best home made French Fries EVER! All the food was "clean", fresh, cooked to perfection, with no heavy sauce or seasoning covering/altering the actual flavor of the main ingredients like most "Italian" restaurants do here in Sfla. We appreciated that immensely! We "tried" to end with a nice espresso only.....but they insisted we had a bite of their Tiramisu dessert and we obliged. Obviously, it was delicious too. Hence, as far as REAL Italian restaurants in South Florida are concerned, we recommend this place wholeheartedly, and we will be back very soon to taste more of their dishes. OVERALL : 10 STARS!!!!!“

“We celebrated our kids' sixth birthday with a dozen very loud and difficult-to-control children. The staff and the owner were extremely nice and patient and made it one of the best birthdays we've had for any of our kids. This place is awesome. I would give six stars if I could. A+ in every sense. Food, ambience, staff, everything you want in a pizza place. Long live Pummarola“

“Delicious, fresh Italian food Recommend eggplant parmesan, pizza capriciola, and mushroom pappardelle. Beautiful restaurant and patio.“

“J C gives personal service and the food was exquisite!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Out of the last dozen times I’ve been here, they are everything from excellence to exceptional. Service = Outstanding Taste & portion = Outstanding Visual & Smell = Outstanding“

“Our dinner at PASTA Wynwood was simply outstanding. The ambiance is warm, elegant, and full of great energy, but what truly made the night exceptional was our server, Karelyn. Her sweetness, kindness, honesty, and professionalism made the entire experience unforgettable.

She recommended the Celeriac Triangoli, and it turned out to be one of the best dishes of the evening—perfectly balanced and delicious. The cocktails, especially the Tequila Espresso Martini, were amazing, and every detail of the service was flawless.

Karelyn’s genuine care and refined manners turned a great dinner into an exceptional one. Definitely a must-visit spot in Miami, and I’ll be coming back for sure.“

“very friendly, you feel like family. great service“

“Finally I can say that at Baiocco you eat impeccably… the kitchen has given a positive change… the food was nothing short of delicious !! thank you for the evening“
