50 Best Italian Restaurants near South Miami

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

“I've been to this Italian restaurant before, and it never disappoints! This visit was just as fantastic as the last. We were lucky to have Michell (hope I'm spelling that right!) as our server. Even though she mentioned she recently started working at the restaurant, you'd never know it—her service was phenomenal, and her recommendations were spot on. Big thanks to Michell and the whole team for making it a special night.“

“Excelente servicio por partes de nuestros amigos Franceska y Diego ! The best restaurant for some Italian food with the best service in Miami Doral …“

“I had a fantastic experience last night! The service is top tier--Marco and the rest of the staff are kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I had the best beef carpaccio ever--try it, they put a unique spin on the traditional dish--followed by the baby artichoke hearts and accompanied by an amazing Swiss Pinot Noir from Lucas Madonia. One of the best dinners I've had in a while and I'm frequently out. Highly recommend this quirky and cool restaurant!“

“Boia De is very special. Bold flavor with a delicate execution. The staff are humbly proud of their accomplishments and the Michelin Star is well deserved. The smoked muscles were delicious you need them. Steak tar-tar you must have. The gnocchi will change your life and the lamb could alter they ways of man & possibly change the world. No liquor needed here. Creative mixology with sake & Pilsner will make you happy. Desert a must… buy 2. Or 3.. Love from Mary & Peter“

“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!“

I have been here several times and will keep on coming because of the attention to detail that is lacking in many restaurants in Miami. Thank you for another amazing experience.“

“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!

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

“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!!!!!“

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

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

“If you really want to live an experience, I highly recommend this place, beautiful to look at, nice to go and share with your children or as a couple, the attention of the girl in charge of the ? delicious food, you have variety, affordable prices and places to drink beautiful photos, you really have to go, you will love it!!“

“This is my 2nd time eating in this restaurant and i absolutely love it, the experience is amazing and the attention is amazing the food is beyond amazing the pizzas are top and the prices are pretty good, high quality ingredients!!! Will come 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.“

“An excellent lunch this week at Torno Subito. A lovely rooftop location in the city center (on top of Julia & Henry's) makes for a lovely setting. The food is excellent quality with four courses, perfectly judged in size and flavour: an amuse bouche packed full of flavour, delicious "modern" salad, tagliatelle carbonara a selection of sorbets to finish. The servers were also informative and attentive without being intrusive. Hghly recommend a visit.“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service 👏🏻“

“We celebrated our kids' sixth birthday with a dozen very loud and difficult-to-control children. The staff and the owner were extremely nice and patient and made it one of the best birthdays we've had for any of our kids. This place is awesome. I would give six stars if I could. A+ in every sense. Food, ambience, staff, everything you want in a pizza place. Long live Pummarola“
