50 Best Italian Restaurants near Surfside

“I visited Café Ragazzi with four friends to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The manager Omar went above and beyond to make her night special, and we truly appreciated the attention and hospitality.

We ordered several dishes to share, and everything was delicious. The calamari was perfectly crispy, the burrata was fresh and creamy, and the lentil soup was full of flavor. The highlight for me was the seafood pasta — cooked perfectly with great portions of shrimp, calamari, and mussels.

The atmosphere, the service, and the food made this a memorable night. Highly recommend Café Ragazzi for a special dinner or a night out with friends. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“One of the best restaurants state-side. Highly recommend. Excellent staff and service; great food and presentation. An amazing place for family gatherings and a great date. Enjoy.“

“The restaurant has been the perfect place for us in Surfside to date. There is no doubt the food is fresh, tasty and the helpings are perfect. The dessert menu is most definitely the best I have found in Surfide,Florida. If you should find yourself are visiting Surfside, this should be a MUST VISIT restaurant.“

“Best Italian restaurant in Miami“

“I first had the pleasure of dining here nearly two years ago, and it instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. From the warm atmosphere to the unforgettable flavors, everything about the experience was exceptional. The plate of pasta I had on that first visit was so memorable, it’s still the background on my phone — and I’ve made multiple trips to Miami just to come back and enjoy it again. The quality has never wavered. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“Fantastic food and great service. Our server was lovely and all the plates were delicious. The tuna and the bolognese were the standouts! Every bite was great. The acoustics inside the restaurant could be better- it gets very loud and hard to have a conversation. Otherwise its perfection!“

“Melania amazing server, she recommended the most amazing pasta for me and my girlfriend loved.“

“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!“

“I think they're all great“

“One of my all time favorites in Miami.
You cannot go wrong with any of the pasta dishes. We ordered a few but I only got a picture of the white pomodoro vongole, which was delicious. Very fresh without being too garlicky or heavy on the stomach. There pasta is always fresh and would taste great without any sauce. The red sauces (their specialty I believe) just make it all that much better.
My favorite salad of all time is their tricolore salad, I would come here just to have this and one of their cocktails. They have proper cocktails, well balanced and with premium liquors and ingredients.
The inside section is beautiful but be warned it is freezing inside, bring a sweater.
The outside while very pleasantly ventilated with fans everywhere is nice however is missing that beautiful design and ambiance felt inside.“

“The best sandwiches in Miami. Delicious and healthy“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“If you’re in South Beach and looking for a cozy spot with great Italian food and genuinely wonderful service, Il Bolognese is the place to be. But what truly made our evening special was our server, Anissa, she was a total star — thoughtful, warm, and incredibly attentive. 🌟“

“We sat outside for supper, it was a beautiful evening in Miami! We shared the Aristotele salad and the Capricciosa pizza, SO DELICIOUS. Our server was Chantale, she was helpful, knowledgeable and had a good personality. We may come back for lunch tomorrow before we sail away!“

“Great spot on Ocean Drive! Excellent service, friendly staff, and perfect for people-watching. Prices are reasonable — you can get a decent bottle of wine starting at $40. Overall, a relaxed vibe with good food and great atmosphere. Ceviche, spaghetti alla vongole are delicious. Good cocktails, too.“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“I had an amazing experience at Corallo! The restaurant is elegant and beautifully designed, with the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a special night out.

The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and very professional. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was absolutely delicious, made with super fresh ingredients and full of authentic Mediterranean flavor. The fried calamari were light, crispy, and perfectly cooked.

We paired our meal with a great Italian wine and finished with a homemade tiramisu that was simply outstanding.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality Italian cuisine in the heart of Miami Beach! 🇮🇹✨“

“Di Mauro’s on Collins Avenue is an absolute 10/10 experience from start to finish!!
Our server, Mauro, was incredible.
Attentive, warm, and genuinely made us feel taken care of the entire night.
The food was outstanding. I ordered the cheese wheel, and wow. So flavorful, perfectly creamy, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. One friend had the lasagna, which was rich and comforting, and the other ordered the Cacio e Pepe cheese wheel, equally delicious and unforgettable.
From the ambiance to the service to the quality of the food, everything was perfection. This place truly delivers on every level. We can’t wait to come back!“

The pizza is reall good! fresh ingredients, perfect crust, and full of flavor. But what truly makes the experience special is the service. Alessia was absolutely wonderful!
