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!“

“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.“

“Our experience at Elia was amazing the food, ambiance and service were a 10/10. Our waiter was extremely nice and sweet, and was able to accommodate us perfectly when we needed to switch tables. Would definitely return to try more of the menu and would recommend Orlando as your waiter!“

“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.“

We had a reservation at another restaurant but we ended up being late because the ambience and the service is the best and people are so lovely and attentive we wanted to stay here for the rest of the night! Thank you“

“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!!!!!“

“Nice place. Good service.“

“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.“

“Stanzione Pizza is a great place to enjoy a unique Italian pizza experience inside Citadel Hall. The variety of pizzas and, especially, their preparation method really set this place apart.

A major plus is that they cook their pizzas in a Neapolitan-style oven, which gives the crust a delicious smoky flavor and a more authentic taste. The ingredients are fresh, everything is made to order, and the presentation is excellent.

The quality-to-price ratio is excellent, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the preparation.

Even though it is located inside a food court, the atmosphere is surprisingly quiet, relaxed, and welcoming. It's a great spot for a pizza afternoon with your partner, friends, or family.

The only downside is the parking inside Citadel Hall — $10 per hour feels quite expensive. My recommendation is to look for parking outside the main area, where it can be around $3 per hour.

Overall, Stanzione Pizza is definitely worth trying if you enjoy authentic Italian pizza, fresh ingredients, and traditional preparation. 🍕🇮🇹 Highly recommended!“

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

“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.“

“Pummarola is so good I’m going there at least twice a week to get some good Italian food. The food quality you get for the price you pay is by far the best in Miami. The atmosphere is also super nice and the employees are always smiling !“

“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!“

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

“Fantastic experience at Mano Libera! The food is genuinely Italian, but elevated to the perfect level without losing what makes it feel authentic. The whole experience was incredible, and the service was just as good.

Chef and owner Marco is incredibly talented and welcoming. You can really feel his passion in every dish. This doesn’t feel like “just another Italian restaurant”, there’s something special about it.
Absolutely loved it. 10/10! 🇮🇹“

“Everything was exceptional. Food, customer service, ambience all the way down to the duration of tile we waited to receive both our food and drinks. Not one complaint, I usually feel cheated when dining out in Miami. Not the case at sparrow, will definitely be back!“

“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“

“incredible meal. prices were ironically too affordable“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Rubinos is my go-to business lunch restaurant. Their service is friendly, and professional. Attentive and they cater to your needs. Their food is delicious, always fresh and delightful.

I highly recommend and invite you to try their porcini pasta ...“

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

“Pia’s is a 100% recommended! Started with the breadsticks (with melted cheese and sauce) and burrata salad! Both are freshly made, exquisite! Seeing the cheese stretch when you deep the breadstick… soooo good! Then moved to the pizza and then pesto pasta. Their pizza dough is really good, and crispy on the bottom. I give it a 10/10!!! The pesto a great dish, specially if you want to share. The sauce tastes fresh and pasta was al dente, just how it should be. Visit Pia’s Not Just Pizza, I’m looking forward to eating there again soon!“

“One of the best sandwiches I've had. Absolutely loaded with meat, great flavor, and balanced in flavor. But the bread perfectly matches the sandwich. I got the Godfather but you can bet I'm going to try the others that they have. Great service. Very impressed with everything, they deserve to have their brick and mortar shop.“

“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!“
