50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants University Park

“Went to dinner with family at the Carrabba’s on University. Teddy was our server and we was phenomenal. Service was prompt, he was attentive without hovering, and when we had a little mishap by way of a spilled glass of Sangria he took care of us immediately. Alex was our bartender and he’s got mad skills with a dirty martini. If you’re at this restaurant ask for these young men… You will not be disappointed!“

“My waiter Kirill S at the university location was very courteous and attentive. The lemon pepper wings although was small was quite tasty. I was alone and the bill was small so I tipped beyond the recommended amount. Great service and atmosphere.“

“Excellent service and fresh food. Coffee is so good!“

“If you’re in Lakewood Ranch and craving New York–New Jersey style pizza, you have to try Valentino Pizzeria Trattoria. 🍕 I’m from Long Island, so trust me when I say I know good pizza — and theirs is!. I just realized they were originally established in New Jersey, and honestly it all makes sense zzzThe red sauce, the crust… it tastes like home. Their whole menu is amazing, — the chicken piccata, the chicken parm, literally every entrée is done right. You can tell they put pride and professionalism into everything they make. If you haven’t been, go support this awesome local spot. You won’t regret it! 🙌🇮🇹🍝“

“What words can be use to describe this restaurant hummm 🤔how about SPECTACULAR !!! I can’t think 💭 of one negative word. If you want to impress your date or guest and get authentic French food this is the place. Plus you can walk around Gulfport afterwards.“

“Had a great experience there....Natalie was my amazing server. Asked her what she likes to eat there the most and she suggested the steak tacos her way and told me you can add an extra taco for an extra expense and it was worth it???. She had awesome work ethics, a beautiful smile that made you feel like you were there with a childhood friend, and a giggle that made you giggle as well....will request her every time I go.... Thank you Natalie...you made my night!!!!“

“If you love thin crust pizza, this is your place! They bring creativity to pizza which I love. Can’t wait to taste each and every one! Would love to see cannoli’s offered with dessert coffees.“

“I recently placed a large order, intending to have the sandwiches for dinner, saving the empanadas, pastries, and croquettes for breakfast the next day, and the salad and soup for lunch the following day. Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh and held great overnight for the next days meals. Highly impressed with the quality of the food and the value for the cost. I was able to feed 10 ppl (the majority not vegan) and everyone agreed it was outstanding. Thank you!!“

“I really enjoyed this place, my server alejando went above and beyond to take care of us. Even turned many fans on since it’s very hot in Miami so my baby wouldn’t be hot.

“The BEST white fish ceviche I have EVER had! It was so good, we ordered a “to-go” and ate it today right before our flight back to Texas! This team is doing it RIGHT!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!! I will be back! 💕 A Texas Ceviche Snob 🤣“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“

“The best seafood in Palmetto Bay and also the best musical venue. Unique“

“This restaurant is a great place for anyone who loves burgers, steaks, pasta, and classic comfort food. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The burgers were juicy, the steak was tender, and the pasta was delicious. The portions were generous, and you can tell they use quality ingredients.

The service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They checked on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was just right.

Their happy hour is fantastic, with great food and drink specials that make an already enjoyable experience an even better value.

With delicious food, excellent service, a fun atmosphere, and an amazing happy hour, this is definitely a place I'd recommend. It's a great spot for lunch, dinner, or meeting up with friends and family.“

“Shout out to the amazing bar tender Anthony!! Awesome service and as a first timer on a karaoke night he gave me excellent feedback and suggestions and everything was on point! Definitely amazing sour beers!! The PB&J was crazy!! Pizza was surprisingly good and can’t beat the awesome entertainment and service with the live music! Will absolutely come back 🙌🫶“

“Had a great experience. Croissants were amazing and after we finished, our waitress came up to us and gave us 5 different pastries to take home for free!!!! Thank you.“

“Talk about a superior and extraordinary dining experience. I can't believe how's just tucked away and you'd literally miss it. I guess it makes it a hidden gem and those never ever disappoint. Needless to say, the service is unmatched here from the moment you walk in. Started with a white wine, these are the dishes I opted for...summer salad, scallop crudo, koshihikari rice, black grouper and parfait. Need I say, everything single dish was a 10/10. Summer salad was perfectly balanced between the plums, nectarines and avocado and a little spice from the agua diablo. An explosion of flavors in every bite. The scallop crudo was like nothing I've ever tasted...perfectly cooked scallop with a little kick. The grouper was the star of the show...just perfection. The rice was a pleasant surprise of flavors that took shocked my palate a little but in the best way. Ended the meal with a very delicious rich parfait that wasn't overly sweet. I see why they're Michelin starred and it didn't disappoint, NOT ONE BIT. Space is underwhelming though. Not really romantic or cozy or aesthetically pleasing and very small but the food was without a doubt...PHENOMENAL, and that's all that really matters at the end.“

“The first time I tried Tiagos Tacos was at Miami Dade College. We LOVED their tacos so much that we attended more events together when ever Tiagos Taco food truck was there. I was delighted to see they opened a restaurant in North Miami . I ordered the Taco trio steak. I have no idea what the special ingredients are but it is the yummiest flavor I've tasted for tacos!! yummy yum yum.“

“Amazing food and service with a beautiful ambience and live music! Definitely a must visit when in Doral/Miami!“

“An unforgettable culinary experience from beginning to end. I came with my girlfriends for dinner, and every course was a beautiful surprise. Chefs Jhonny Delgado & Richard Ortega cuisine is a masterful expression of Venezuelan roots elevated through contemporary techniques and meticulous attention to detail. Every plate tells a story, with bold flavors, flawless execution, and an incredible balance that keeps you excited for what’s coming next.

There are a few dishes that simply cannot be missed: the steak tartare with crispy fried arepa and cheese was phenomenal, the pork cheek vacatelli was rich, comforting, and absolutely unforgettable, and the house bread with miso butter deserves a review of its own. The butter is so incredibly delicious that words hardly do it justice.

For dessert, we shared the Basque cheesecake and the quesillo—both were exceptional and the perfect ending to an extraordinary meal.

This is not just dinner; it’s a thoughtfully curated culinary journey that celebrates Venezuelan flavors through a modern, world-class lens. I would come back in a heartbeat and recommend it without hesitation. One of Miami’s true hidden gems.“

“Celebrated my birthday lunch yesterday at Alladains with a group of friends also celebrating birthdays. Food was delicious and service was exceptional. We had an amazing afternoon!! Looking forward to enjoying the belly dance show next month.“

“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.“

“Great coffee and Gustavo was wonderful!“

“Llevamos meses comiendo en este restaurante ami familia le encanta y ami no se diga súper lo recomiendo 🙌🏻“

“I had an excellent experience. The atmosphere was great, but what really stood out was the service. Fabiola was very attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the entire visit.

And I especially have to highlight LUISA — her drinks were AMAZING. You can really tell how much talent and dedication she puts into every cocktail. Every drink was perfectly made, with incredible flavor and presentation. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Luisa truly made the experience even more special, and I would definitely come back mainly for her drinks. Highly recommend trying anything made by her.“
