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.“

“Best Italian restaurant in Miami“

“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 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.“

“Great food, recommend trying Patates frittas, which is mushed potatoes in panco crust and fried, it comes with very rich truffle sause , probably a million calories but it's worth it. Lamb shanks and Cacio E Pepe were great too, also recommended. Ambiance is simple but cozy, with indoor and outdoor options.“

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

“I think they're all great“

“Our orders were delicious and fresh. Will definitely visit again.“

“My two sisters and I went in on a Thursday at 6:15 with no reservations. We were warmly welcomed at the host stand and told they could seat us at the bar. We asked the host who seated us what his favorite dishes are and he recommended the creamy polenta appetizer and the pork chop. We were then greeted at the bar by Maria who was friendly and extremely helpful. She recommended a few wines and dishes and we settled on the polenta appetizer, a salad to share then we shared the spaghetti pomodoro, the mushroom pasta and the pork chop. Everything was truly delicious and we would definitely return.“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“This place is amazing! I love the atmosphere and location. Our server, Claudia, was amazing as well. She helped us with the perfect selection of food for our taste buds and always greeted us with a smile. People, please ask for Claudia if you plan on visiting this restaurant. G“

“Decided to stop by here for early dinner happy hour. We had the pleasure of having Valentina as our server. Valentina super kinda , attentive and recommend seafood and land platter along with some mojitos . We’re from Los Angeles so Thank you Valentina for welcoming us!! Highly recommend Valentina as your service at this great location.
Gracias Valentina nos atendiste muy muy bien 10/10. Super amable.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food was great, Italian atmosphere and great service. Special thanks to our server Mirko“

“We were given a warm welcome, a table of our choice and had a delicious meal and drinks served in a friendly manner. I had the best tagliatelle Bolognese I have ever had and my husband loved his spaghetti carbonara also. The portions were very generous and because of that we didn't have room for dessert. We live in the UK but if we're ever back in the area to pick up a cruise, we will be back for more delicious food!“

“Amazing food and exceptional service!

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! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the visit. Her warm personality and professionalism really added to the experience.

If you’re in Miami and craving great pizza with outstanding service, Pizzeria Bellino is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“Upon arriving, 30 minutes early , their website states you have to be at least 15 minutes early or you will be charged and since they demand a credit in order to have a reservation I do not doubt they will enforce. The ladies at the front tell us they are running late so our 2:30 reservation will now be a 2:45 reservation and it was a big “maybe “, so off we go to wait in the middle of this awful wind, it's almost the time and my son and husband approach again only to be told they don't know how much longer we have to wait but my husband kind of doesn't take no for an answer and keeps insisting on how much longer, we decide to go to another restaurant, get my card off their system when they finally decide to sit us somewhere, the food was good, music very loud for my taste, wind at a minimum, thank god but that waiting and those girls and their attitude, I won't be going back.“

“The drinks were perfect, the wine list extensive and the food delicious. The rack of lamb was done to perfection and the pastas divine. Highly recommend going. Can’t wait to go back“

“We went with another couple for Valentines day. The food was great. We really enjoyed the salad with squash (cut/peeled into curls) and goat cheese, crispy pieces on top. The fritto mista was fresh, light and hot. The burrata was also very good- soft and pillowy on inside. Everyone had different kinds of fish- branzino, dover sole and salmon. All were cooked perfectly. They had a live music female vocalist with a beautiful voice and two other band members. Anna, our server was fantastic, as was Gary the GM. Would absolutely go back!“
