“New for me. Called. Automated system texted me a link to order online. Easy to order and checkout. I live fairly close so I immediately left to pick it up. I got there 10-12 minutes later, drove up, pizza was ready and waiting. Cheery lady gave me my pizza and off I went! I'm so happy with this experience. I'll be ordering other pizzas (I got Hawaiian) in the future and seeing it becomes my "go to" local pizza place.“

“Truly an epic Italian dinner. Beautiful atmosphere, great selection of wines by the glass, fresh truffle pasta and homemade, made in house, limoncello. I can't think of a more enjoyable dining experience. Service was perfect, flawless timing of food , table was always clean. If you love delicious, authentic Italian with laid back top tier service, run to this restaurant!“

“This restaurant is a gem in the heart of Coral Gables. 5 stars is not enough for this restaurant. 💗
All the people who works there are wonderful Everything I ate was an explosion of flavors.
I don't usually drink alcohol, but I convinced myself to have a cocktail (I told them I didn't want to taste too much alcohol). They really impressed me.
I want to especially thank Adri and her husband; they were attentive from start to finish.
P.S. Their baby is the happiest and most delicious baby I've ever met.“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant.
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout our visit.

The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor.
I especially loved the mussels, fiori di zucca, octopus and gnocchis, which were perfectly cooked and bursting with taste.
You can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients.

The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, and the music and lighting created a very relaxing vibe.
It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a nice dinner with friends, family, or even on a date night.

Our server was Misael. Best service ever!! He even did a Mariachi show for us!! AMAZING!

I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone I know.
If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a great atmosphere — this is the place to go!“

“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!!!!!“

“Like Mike has quickly become a Grove favorite. We had a gathering here and I’m planning on returning weekly!“

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

“The best Italian food in town. The authentic version of Italian dishes and the best quality of food. All the staff are amazing and very welcoming. Congratulations“

“Las ensaladas deliciosas y aliñadas a la perfección“

“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!“

“How beautiful! I’ve lived in the Grove area since I was young, and never knew of this place. We had the Miami spice menu, and the food was delicious and served in sizeable portion. The service was truly out of this world, and the view from the top of the hotel was gorgeous.“

“Everyone in my family order different dishes, everything was amazing!! Great ambiance.“

“Lovely place great food and better service“

“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!“

“Fugato is truly a hidden gem and, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Miami right now. Every detail — from the ambiance to the incredible service and outstanding food — is simply flawless. The flavors are authentic and unforgettable, and the passion behind every dish is evident. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Fugato is an absolute must-visit!“

“Very good Italian food chain in Florida, with unlimited drink refills, as well as soups and salads. The dishes are abundant and you can take whatever is left over. The attention is very good from the waitresses. The place is big and beautiful. I recommend it“

“The magnificent service was served by a boy named Juan and I recommend him 1000%, very friendly and super attentive and the food was super good 👍 👍 👍 magnificent place

Kid-friendliness: Yeah

Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah“

“This is such a delightful place. The food is superb. For starters we have carpacho arugula salad, stuffed braised beef mushroom, pear raviolis, (because we needed to try as much as we could) lol. The service resembled a white glove affair. The salmon was smothered in a dark sugar sauce. The sangria was sooooo refreshing. Our waiter Gussepi was so eager to please that how can we not write a review, and order almost everything from the specials for this night, (because it just sounded so delicious). I recommend this place with closed eyes. Your experience will be a memorable one, and your pallet will be filled with delightful taste resembling a food Ecstasy. The crowd was a reasonably middle to upper class crowd. They open at 6pm for dinner on weekdays and a reservation is advised, but they do not look as if they turn anyone away. The entire staff is so happy and pleasant as well as equally eager to please. Enrique is so attentive to details. The entire staff serves everyone. You are not isolated to one server, they all pitch in to make the customers experience a uniquely enjoyable one. The restrooms are immaculate. I also noticed the LACK of mold, mildew, and cobwebs in the dining area. This restaurant is as clean and neat as the food is superb. Hats off to you all. We appreciate you.“

“All good ,had a variety of dishes that had very original presentation 👍🏽“

“I walked in with no reservation and they were able to accommodate me with a reasonable wait time. Great prices, lovely atmosphere and perfect for groups. Douglas was very friendly and helpful with recommending food items. The cornbread is delicious!“

“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.“

“Started coming into this place because it was the only spot that had guanciale. The shopping plaza is a little bit limited with parking but the place has reserved spots in the back. Overall a really great selection of meats, cheeses, pasta, wine, olive oil and other Italian foods. I will continue to come back here.“
