“Recomiendo al 100% este lugar. La atención siempre es excelente, rápida y atenta. La comida es riquísima, nada te decepcionará! Las sopa de langosta, la pizza di parma, los ñoquis tartufo y la tarta de ricotta y Pera son mis favoritos.“

“Great pasta, great wine, amazing vibe!!“

“Agusto & Ronaldo were amazing!! Very attentive, kind, and amazing service. Came here for the first time with family to celebrate my birthday and it was unforgettable. Would definitely come back. Food was delicious as well, highly recommend coming here!“

“Servers were as good as it gets. Food was nothing short of awesome. 1st time there. Unfortunately, daughter graduated, so won't be back as much. When I do, I will definitely come back. Don't give 5 stars often, but this place needs no improvements. If they have veal melenaise, get it. Unreal. Table side Tiramassu was also fantastic. Whole thing blew me away.“

“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.“

“Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! Special thanks to Gianna and Rayan for their outstanding service. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the visit. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and their hospitality made the experience even better.“

“Everything was great the pizza salad wine“

“Mamo is a must if you like sensational food, impeccable service and a stunning setting. The Chef Salvatore, is without a doubt Oscar winning in the Restaurant world. I recommend this restaurant very highly. You will not be disappointed, trust me.“

“I love this place. Personally I think it’s one of the most beautiful restaurants in Miami, and we’ve been there four times.

However, during our last visit, we ordered one bottle of water with dinner. The waiters kept pouring water into our glasses, later we realized they charged us for a second bottle without asking. The water cost $9. I think they should have asked before opening another bottle.

Our bill was over $300, and we didn’t complain. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time. During our first visit, the bartender charged us for a drink we didn’t order. I thought it was an honest mistake, but now I feel they aren’t very careful with billing.

I love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the food, but I was very disappointed with this experience.“

“There delicious Italian food made fresh and there great service ! And it's family friendly“

“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!!!!!“

“Very good food, and they were all very attentive, I will recommend dining there 100%.“

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

“This place has a great atmosphere! Staff is on point and the service is too! And the food? It doesn’t get any better than this😊 Do yourself a favor and stop in!“

“An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and beautifully presented. Every dish was full of authentic flavor, and the service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire meal. The atmosphere was elegant, welcoming, and perfect for any occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food and outstanding hospitality. I will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Reservations on Saturday 6/20 at 830. Got seated at 920 or so, which was fine as there was time for us to take pictures. A little backed up which is understandable. Service was a bit slow afterwards (we got our food before we got our drinks). I was looking forward to the live r&b music vibe, they performed a little bit at about 10pm? No r&b music though. Which is why I came“

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

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

“For us, fanatics of authentic Italian food, discovering Bahiablue, a jewel in middle of Coconut Grove is like a fresh; guzzle for our thirst of enjoyments. We met Chef Vincenzo and instantly fell in love with the place decoration, ambiance, service and unforgettable attention. What about the food? It is a 10 stars for us who have travelled to the Amalfi Coast in Italy several times and can appreciate fresh seafood and pasta when we see it and taste it. Here it really feels like you are in the middle of Positano or Sorrento, it really made us felt that way.
We ordered first an amazing ‘crab panzanella’ – a delightful appetizer, then fresh oysters, followed by ‘fiori di zucca’ another Italian delicious thing that melts in your mouth. As a surprise to the Chef, we ordered ‘linguini alla nerano’ with bottarga – an Italian specialty tastier many more times than caviar eggs. If you never have tasted bottarga, you are missing on a great pleasure for sure. For wine, nothing short of beautiful flavors from an amazing white Vermentino di Sardegna. Adding to the feast, we continued with a spectacular ‘rissoto ai frutti di mare’ – a full storm of great flavors for your palate. To seal the night with great colors, they brought us an amazing ‘sgroppino’ – a super delicious prosecco, lemon based drink that melted our hearts.
We had an amazing dining experience, just like having dinner in Marina Piccola bay in Sorrento, Italy. If you’re serious about great talent, traditions, passion and dedication poured on your table, Bahiablue is the perfect spot.
Thank you Vincenzo!“

“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.“

“amazing food, loved it! Truly delicious. reservation is needed, is always packed“

“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!!“

“My favorite restaurant! It’s authentic Italian and everything I’ve had is amazing. The service is always on point - they’re attentive without rushing you. Couldn’t have asked for better service or recommendations from Mauro from Venice. I will keep coming back.“

“exellent service and food. the food is incredible with oitstanding service. A place for those who enjoy gourmet food.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We happened to stumble across this restaurant, and what a fantastic surprise it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional.

Carlos provided absolutely outstanding service—he was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was perfect without ever being intrusive. Ana was equally wonderful and helped create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The food was incredible from start to finish. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. It’s not often that both the service and the food exceed expectations, but this place absolutely delivered on both.

We left already talking about when we’d come back. I would recommend this restaurant 100 times over to anyone looking for amazing Italian food and top-notch hospitality. Thank you, Carlos and Ana, for making our evening so memorable!“

“From the moment I walked into GiorgioMare Miami on NW 12th St. in Doral, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between upscale and inviting—elegant yet relaxed, with friendly staff who make you feel genuinely welcomed.

🍕 The Pizza

One of the highlights of the evening was the pizza. I opted for the Margherita fresh mozzarella version, and the thin crust was just spot-on—crispy at the edges, soft and chewy inside, topped with bright tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, fresh basil, and just a whisper of olive oil. The balance of flavors was impressive.
They also offer creative “pizza bread” styles like the “Italian Big Pizza Bread” with prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, black olives, fresh mozzarella and a balsamic vinegar glaze—a unique twist and one I’ll definitely return for. 
🎯 What Makes It Special
• Authentic Italian with a twist: They import certain ingredients, and the dishes showcase Italian traditions while offering creative flair. 
• Great value: You get high-quality dishes without exorbitant prices.
• Friendly, attentive service: The staff made sure we were comfortable, offered suggestions, and the pacing was perfect.
• Flexible for different moods: Whether you’re grabbing a casual lunch or marking a date night, it fits beautifully.

👍 Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a place in the Doral/Miami area with excellent pizza and standout seafood, GiorgioMare Miami is a gem. The pizza hits the basics beautifully, and the seafood entrées elevate the experience. I’ll absolutely be returning—and you should too.“

“Lovely place great food and better service“
