50 Best Italian Restaurants in Miami

“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!“

The pizza is reall good! fresh ingredients, perfect crust, and full of flavor. But what truly makes the experience special is the service. Alessia was absolutely wonderful! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the visit. Her warm personality and professionalism really added to the experience.

“Excellence and friendly service along with delicious food and nice ambiance 💕“

“Upon arriving, 30 minutes early , their website states you have to be at least 15 minutes early or you will be charged and since they demand a credit in order to have a reservation I do not doubt they will enforce. The ladies at the front tell us they are running late so our 2:30 reservation will now be a 2:45 reservation and it was a big “maybe “, so off we go to wait in the middle of this awful wind, it's almost the time and my son and husband approach again only to be told they don't know how much longer we have to wait but my husband kind of doesn't take no for an answer and keeps insisting on how much longer, we decide to go to another restaurant, get my card off their system when they finally decide to sit us somewhere, the food was good, music very loud for my taste, wind at a minimum, thank god but that waiting and those girls and their attitude, I won't be going back.“

“We went with another couple for Valentines day. The food was great. We really enjoyed the salad with squash (cut/peeled into curls) and goat cheese, crispy pieces on top. The fritto mista was fresh, light and hot. The burrata was also very good- soft and pillowy on inside. Everyone had different kinds of fish- branzino, dover sole and salmon. All were cooked perfectly. They had a live music female vocalist with a beautiful voice and two other band members. Anna, our server was fantastic, as was Gary the GM. Would absolutely go back!“

“Delicious pizza! Loved the pear and fig. Yummy. Thank you for coming out to Calusa and treating us to such a delicious lunch. Will definitely go with my family soon.“

“amazing food, loved it! Truly delicious. reservation is needed, is always packed“

“Outstanding restaurant and food. And my compliments to whomever listened to my previous complaint on a prior review because its been fixed. FYI, my prior review complained that music sound was so loud I couldn't hear my date. Plus the music choice was entirely inappropriate (hip hop) for what I thought the restaurant was trying to be. This go around the music choice was R&B and at sound level where we were able to converse naturally. The food and service continued to be outstanding.“

“This place has a great atmosphere! Staff is on point and the service is too! And the food? It doesn’t get any better than this😊 Do yourself a favor and stop in!“

“Everything about this restaurant is fantastic if you like authentic Italian food made with the best ingredients topped with fabulous service and great wine!“

“We had an amazing experience at Crazy About You! The food was absolutely great everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they put care into every dish.

Our server, Ernesto, made the night even better. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. He checked in at the perfect times and gave great recommendations.

Overall, great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Siempre trato de participar en RSVP to wine dinner y la experiencia cada día es mejor . El staff es súper amable y profesional, muy elegante en el momento de servir, la comida exquisita al igual que los vinos que se degustan. Es una magnífica opción y recomiendo a todos que lo disfruten“

“The best Croissants 🥐 I’ve had and delicious latte friendly service and staff.“

“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“

“This was our first time at the restaurant as it is close to our hotel. This is a hidden gem. The food and service are wonderful. We enjoyed the eggplant relation, and chicken parmesan as well as a fettuccine Alfredo. It was all delicious, and excellent quality in the food. The service was extremely attentive. We’ll be back.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!!!“

“Food great...beer cold....prices great....staff awesome. ....5 stars for good local Italian meal....If you want Olive Garden....then go there that means i will have a table to sit at at Enzos!“

“I had an amazing experience with Jerry at Pummarola Pizza! He made the class so fun, informative, and hands-on. His energy, patience, and passion for pizza really showed. The whole experience was memorable and the pizza came out delicious. Highly recommend taking a class with Jerry! 🍕✨“

“A Warm Refuge at Capriccio Blue Lagoon
In late January 2026, while a severe winter storm swept much of the U.S., my wife and I traveled to Miami due to medical concerns, grateful simply to escape the cold. Still shaken and exhausted, we wandered into a nearby food court near our airport hotel and happened upon Capriccio Blue Lagoon, an unassuming Italian restaurant.
Inside, the atmosphere was cozy, casual, and quietly refined. Before the food even arrived, our spirits were lifted by something simple but meaningful: two glasses of hot water and the warm smile of our waitress, Marla Josue, whose kindness and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for.
My wife ordered the Tuna Tataki, beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed. I chose my favorite Cioppino, which was excellent, rich broth, fresh seafood, and a generous piece of octopus that was a pleasant surprise. Though a bit pricey and without the usual toasted bread, it was deeply satisfying.
We enjoyed the experience so much that we returned two days after. To our delight, Marla remembered us. This time, we shared Cheese Tequeños with aioli, my wife had the vibrant Volcano Salad, and I ordered the slow-cooked short ribs. Once again, everything was beautifully presented and delicious.
I rarely use the term “hidden gem,” in my reviews but in this case, it fits. More than the food, it was the warmth and kindness, especially from Marla who helped lift our spirits during a difficult time. Highly recommended.“

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

“Amazing food and great staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“I showed up to an empty restaurant that has a magnet to people as soon as you walk in.The vibe is quite and aesthetic, the smell of home made is seductive and the look makes you want to stay. I was greeted by a genuely smiley server (hard to find around miami) that showed me the menu and help with water. I knew what I wanted the pistachio ravioli and a glass of white.
But, she brought me bread to fall in love with and butter that I couldn’t say no to.
My palate was very happy and my heart felt for the place when I knew they are fellow Argentinians.
Can’t wait to go back to try desserts and more pasta with the family.“

“Lovely place great food and better service“

“Came here with the entire family to celebrate my son’s 14th birthday and as always Rubino’s didn’t disappoint! This place has one of the best pizza’s in town! Their appetizers are amazing, if you haven’t had their whipped ricotta you are missing out! Great atmosphere, great food!“

“Been meaning to check this place out. Finally came for lunch and was beyond amazing. Service was fantastic, place was really nice, and the food was incredible. I had no idea it was same owners as Cotoletta. Definitely coming back here often.

Worth a visit for sure!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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“

“I ordered the pumpkin ravioli with butter sage sauce. It was delicious!!! Wine is impressive also.“

“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.“

“I just moved back into Coconut Grove and this is going to be my daily stop. Not only is the place cozy and beautiful,
filled with fantastic wines, gourmet foods, original local artwork and even cute clothes, but the food was delicious. I had a melted mozzarella and tomato sandwich on ciabatta bread and it was divine. I also had a homemade flan that would make my Cuban grandmother, proud.

I’ll be back soon!“

“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“

“Sapore Di Mare in Coconut Grove offers an enchanting dining experience that harmonizes exquisite cuisine with impeccable service and a warm, inviting ambiance. The evening began with a bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo, Gran Sasso. This wine, with its rich, full-bodied flavor and subtle hints of dark fruit, set a perfect tone for the meal. For the main course, the Lasagna al Brasato di Short Ribs e Tartufo was an absolute delight. The layers of tender short ribs, perfectly cooked pasta, and a generous amount of truffle made every bite an orgasmic experience. This dish is a true testament to the chef's skill and creativity. The Ravioli di Ossobuco was another highlight. The ravioli, filled with succulent ossobuco, was served in a delicate sauce that complemented the richness of the filling. The balance of flavors and textures in this dish was impeccable. To conclude the meal, we indulged in the Pastiera Napoletana for dessert. This traditional Neapolitan cake, with its sweet and creamy ricotta filling, was the perfect ending to an exceptional dining experience. The service at Sapore Di Mare was outstanding. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a memorable dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant, with its elegant decor and cozy atmosphere, further enhanced the overall enjoyment of the evening. In summary, Sapore Di Mare in Coconut Grove is a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier Italian dining experience. From the exquisite food to the exceptional service and delightful ambiance, every aspect of the restaurant exceeds expectations.“

“Amazing extrasensory experience:
From the moment we entered to the moment we left they treat and cuddle us as Family.
What to say about Chef Marco Giuliano : Michelin star coming soon!
Thanks a lot to you and all your professional staff for the HOSPITALITY!
Best Restaurant in Miami !!!“

“Donna Mare absolutely blew us away. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, stylish, and welcoming—like stepping into a coastal Italian escape right in the city. But what truly made our evening unforgettable was our server, Luigi. He was exceptional in every way: attentive without hovering, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely excited to help us choose the perfect dishes. His recommendations were spot-on, and it honestly felt like he elevated the entire dining experience.The food? Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every plate was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The handmade pasta was a standout, the seafood tasted like it came straight from the Mediterranean, and the desserts were the perfect sweet finish.From start to finish, Donna Mare delivered excellence. Between the vibrant dishes, the inviting ambiance, and Luigi’s top-tier service, this might just be one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time.

Highly, highly recommend! We will definitely be back!!“

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