Cacio e Pepe Italian Restaurant

Highly recommend! The food is DELICIOUS worth every dollar but it would be nice if you provide the weekday & weekend lunch menus and not have to ask for it every time

Wow what a let down. My husband and I came with our daughter because we love Italian and decided to try this new spot in our area. Our server Jose E, was incredibly rude from the get go. It felt like we were judged from the second we walked in the door. My husband and I were in the business for a LONG time and have both managed restaurants. We sat down and both ordered a peroni and a buratta appetizer to start. He an accidentally placed my beer near the baby which is no biggie, I don't fault him for that. But I went to move the beer further away and didn't realize the tables pushed together were uneven and the entire beer spilled over. I told him about the spill and he just kind of walked away. Didn't offer to help with napkins or to bring another beer. I had to reach over to another table to grab a napkin and place setting to replace the drenched one. I then asked for another beer. He continued to ignore us (mind you we were the ONLY table inside the restaurant) there was one other table outside. While the appetizer was delicious we decided to ask for the bill and cancel our food because we just started to feel uncomfortable. He brings the tab and charges me for the beer that was spilled and I had to ask him to remove it. It's unfortunate because the food was really good quality and yummy but the service was beyond terrible and distasteful. Don't recommend because of this.

I walked into this restaurant planning to sit down and have lunch before my 4 PM class. After spending six exhausting hours at the nearby DMV, I needed to use the restroom first.

Before I could even get there, the manager accosted me, demanding to know where I was going and insisting that I “say something” to him. When I told him I was headed to the restroom, he immediately responded, “You’re not a customer.” I asked how he could possibly know that, and he claimed he had seen the direction I entered from.

Needless to say, I didn’t use the restroom—or spend a dime there. The whole interaction made one thing clear: I didn’t fit the image of his “preferred” clientele. Maybe it was my hoodie, maybe it was my Afro, but either way, the message was received.

Just a heads-up—if you look different, expect to be treated differently here.

Very good food. Excellent environment and service

They are back better than ever, food was delicious and service was impecable. Way to go people.

Always beautiful to find restaurants like Cacio e Pepe, definitely a hidden gem in Aventura area! 100% recommended. Authentic Italian and amazing Wine selection with affordable prices.

Delicious and authentic food! Love to come here and enjoy great food and wine in a cozy atmosphere with lovely service! Today Carolyn took care of us and we’ll definitely be coming back again :)

Server was very helpful explaining menu items, service was quick, food was absolutely delicious

Delicious

Excellent restaurant ! Delicious 😋

The food was more Argentinian than Italian. Food lacked flavor, even with the cheese that was added. No wine was available, not sure why. For some reason they want to charge $6 for one iced tea.

I can’t believe this restaurant is getting away with charging those prices. Go home and eat ramen noodles for a more authentic pasta dish. The pasta was overcooked, the chicken parmigiana was terrible. Steak was rubbery and cooked to the wrong temperature. Please save yourself the trouble.

Horrible food not worth the price

Cozy hole in the wall. Great food a little bit for everyone, meaning pasta steaks seafood. Not a huge menu, but Great tasting foods to try. Could be romantic or just family.

Used to be a great spot. The service and the food have declined considerably. Will not be back
