“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 will be back. outstanding service. The food was incredible. We started with a small charcuterie board. One of the best we have had. The arugula salad was very fresh. Can't wait to come back and try more pasta dishes. Truly our favorite restaurant we found during our trip.“

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!!!!!“

“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!“

“Awsome service food quality. Great pizza & Veronica #1 server. God Bless you“

“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! 🇮🇹“

“I had visited for my birthday and it was a great experience. Service was A1. I loved that they had live entertainment that night. Full service bar so you can literally get whatever drink you want. Everything we ate was literally so good. Best spicy rigatoni I’ve had, actually had a little kick. My only complaint is that they promote family style but those dishes are too tiny, nothing about it was plentiful enough to share.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Verace is simply fantastic. Very affordable. Whether you are eating with friends, family, spouse, or by yourself. It is fantastic. They are accommodating, the food is great, pizza is perfect every time. I love the bolognese and they will substitute the rigatoni for fettuccine. A fav. The atmosphere is cute and quaint, but I would suggest to dim the lights during the dinner hour. The patio is lovely, I need to take advantage of it. Service is perfect. Highly recommend it! Run! Don’t walk to Verace.“

“Our first time at Da Angelino, and wow, it was amazing. From the burrata to the short rib to the pistachio dessert— everything was divine. Mauro (from Venice) was amazing, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu. We couldn’t have had a better experience.“

“Very good experience. It was my mom’s 85th birthday and we took her to have lunch at Il Forno! The service was very, very good. Pedro and Fabio were above and beyond. The food was very good. At the end they even gave us a printed picture of our family and a note for her birthday! It made her feel very special. Thank you!“

“The best restaurant in Miami 😋 everything so delicious 🤤🥰.“

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

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Las ensaladas deliciosas y aliñadas a la perfección“

“Always wonderful place to go for great service and cuisine. Carlos and the entire staff is awesome. We’ve been coming for over 20 years. Never disappoints.“

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

“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.“
