The ambience is nice, the food is very good, I was unsure of who my waiter was, I had two waiters helping out and was a bit unorganized. I went for a bday and notified it was for a bday. I expected more attentiveness but nonetheless the food is very good and I will go back.

Absolutely fantastic. Ambience, service, food and vibes. This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Miami!

The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the decor and vibes are perfect. You almost forget you are in Miami. Highly recommended. Especially if you have guests in town it is a real treat for them.

Eating here is like being transported to a small town square in Italy. The food, the vibe, the ambience, everything is just lovely.!!!

This must be the best kept secret in downtown Miami. I've been working here for the past four years and was invited to this restaurant. WOW! Homemade pasta, family owned and operated all in an atmosphere that is quintessential Italian. I'm looking forward to more business lunches at Soya & Pomodoro. Here's a tip: Ask for the limoncello.

Really really wanted to like this place. It’s exactly the sort of locally owned, authentic, interesting place I want to see thrive in Miami. Ambience is nice, service is good, food is rather average. Prices are quite random and was charged a lot for a deeply unremarkable “appetizer”. What pisses me off is an automatic tip of 18% ( fine ) then a suggested tip of 18-22% on top. This my friends is scam and makes me livid. Then nickel and diming for rather lackluster music ( which im appreciative of) but this isn’t a jazz bar, it’s part of the restaurant. I want this place to exist but I’d never go back. Far too many way way way better places. Like Rosemarys

A really cute restaurant. A little hole in the wall, eclectic space with amazing food and really good prices. Pasta was house made. Everything tastes amazing

Alright, let's refine this. Soja & Pomodoro, nestled discreetly between Miami's historic structures, presents a truly captivating dining experience. The cuisine, a testament to authentic Italian artistry, transcends mere sustenance; each dish is a carefully orchestrated symphony of flavors, showcasing the finest ingredients. The ambiance, a harmonious blend of rustic charm and understated elegance, creates an intimate and inviting atmosphere. The live music, offered on Thursday and Saturday evenings, adds a layer of sophistication, transforming the dining experience into a truly memorable occasion. In a city saturated with culinary offerings, Soja & Pomodoro distinguishes itself through its dedication to quality and its unique, refined atmosphere. It's a destination for those who appreciate the finer nuances of Italian cuisine and seek an evening of understated elegance.

The food is sumptuous Italian fare, hand-made and lovingly cooked and presented. Like the best restaurants, the menu is not lengthy, allowing a focus on the dishes they do best. I always feel welcome every time I dine there. The service is attentive but not heavy-handed. The funky, eclectic decor is a delight.

Made a reservation, they confirmed it, we show up, and the entire building is inhabitable - according to the city of Miami. The restaurant made no effort to let us know, and were rude when we showed up to them cleaning?
If it were me, I would update the Google business to reflect being closed, or at the very least post about the closing on socials to warn people from out of town
I visited the restaurant last night (Thursday night) around 7 PM, and it was completely empty. The hostess offered us at the smallest table available. When we asked for a different table, she said she needed to check with the manager and then disappeared.
The manager arrived, seemingly unaware of our presence. We requested a better table, but he rudely replied, "There are only two of you!" After some back-and-forth, he reluctantly agreed to a better table. Ultimately, we decided to leave, citing their rude behavior as the reason. The manager showed little concern, merely glancing at his phone and saying, "Okay, bye." in Italian.
While the restaurant has a nice ambiance, the customer service is unacceptable. I won’t be returning. Plenty of welcoming restaurants with likely better food in Miami.

Went with an Italian friend who is very picky about Italian dining but swears by this place. The aesthetics is very cool - an old dilapidated bank-now-turned-restaurant with shelves of random-ass books. To start, we split a Bolognese alla Rosanna which was so homely and truly delicious. My friend had the Pollo ai Funghi which was just okay to me [and him as well]. My Saltimbocca di Pollo was much better but I wouldn't say outstanding... then again, I'm not familiar with Italian gastronomy. Potatoes were perfect. Price-point affordable & the servers friendly. I would definitely revisit to try their other pastas or paninis.

Disappointing starters. Some arrived cold from the refrigerator. I would only highlight the bolognese, very good, but it failed to make us forget some unforgivable errors in conservation and service. To put food from the refrigerator, you can't set those prices. A shame, the place is very nice.
