45 Best Italian Restaurants near Cutler Bay

“I love the Zuppa Tuscano soup but today it was watery (minus one star). I also had the mango strawberry tea, which was delicious. My husband & I shared a fried calamari. I like the fact that comes with two sauces. My husband had a salad and the Tour of Italy, which comes with chicken parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo and lasagna. He enjoyed both! I had two bowls of soup and we were too full for dessert. I usually get the tiramisu. It gives me am excuse to come back. Karen was our server.“

“Wonderful food and excellent service“

“My visit to Mosaico - Maurizio Farinelli in South Miami was a sublime culinary experience. The cozy atmosphere and elegant decor anticipated an exceptional meal, which truly exceeded all expectations.The menu is an impressive fusion of Italian flavors with touches of Japan and the Middle East. I started with an exquisite tuna tartare that stood out for its freshness and flavor. I followed with tagliatelle bolognese and cacio e Pepe, both dishes prepared to perfection, showcasing the quality of the local ingredients. The Gnocchi alla Norcina was another triumph, with a texture and flavor that invited you to continue enjoying.The service was exceptional, every detail was meticulously taken care of, Mosaico - Maurizio Farinelli is a gem in South Miami and a must-see destination for lovers of good Italian food.“

“Delicious pizza! Loved the pear and fig. Yummy. Thank you for coming out to Calusa and treating us to such a delicious lunch. Will definitely go with my family soon.“

“After all my searching of pizza in most places I finally found the one that tastes like New York pizza! Sure there's Casola's, don't get me wrong their really good and all but not the taste I was looking for.(Least since I'm really picky) This for sure is the best pizza I ever had in Miami!Downside is parking is kind of rough since it's hidden in a BurgerKing plaza making it completely overshadowed so makes it harder to find but I'm really glad I got to find this and try it out!Probably the only pizza place I'll ever go out of my way to drive to, not crazy expensive either as the prices are more reasonable and give you FAR bigger slices over whatever the hot mess common food chain pizza places give....They even give the classic 2 slices and a soda! :D“

“Food great...beer cold....prices great....staff awesome. ....5 stars for good local Italian meal....If you want Olive Garden....then go there that means i will have a table to sit at at Enzos!“

“We hosted a Cancer fundraiser at Pummarlo. It was such a great time for a good cause. We loved having a pizza class, making the dough to take home and then eating a personal size pizza. The staff was amazing and so much fun. Will definitely be back. Great night out with delicious food.“

“I had never been but after all the advertising at the Miami Hurricane games I had to try it. Since the Hurricanes Spring game was on campus this year and the restaurant was 10 minutes away we made plans to go before the game. It was busy for lunch but there were still tables available. Free parking in front and behind building. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoor seating and were sat immediately. It smelled good inside. It was an old-school Italian joint with a paper placemat with a map of Italy and some fun facts. We ordered a cheese pizza, an order of baked ziti with pink sauce instead of meat sauce and 6 garlic rolls came complimentary. The garlic rolls were soft and filled with garlic- don't kiss anyone after this! The pizza was just ok. I think the sauce is what we didn't love. It was on the thin side, no flop, but that sauce had a very different flavor. My husband described it as "Spanish" pizza and he's Puerto Rican- I'm Italian American. The Baked Ziti was good but he said not as good as mine. I think he was just trying to stay in my good graces. I love that they support the school and love small businesses vs. chain establishment.Vegetarian options: Baked ziti can sub meat sauce for marinara“

“Server. Ellen, was excellent. She made good menu suggestions and was attentive without being overbearing. My hangar steak was melt in your mouth tender and cooked to perfection. Desert was lemon sherbert and fresh fruit- an excellent combination. Will return soon.“

“The food was superbly fresh n delicious. Ragu sauce was tasty! The owner and staff were awesome, attentive, and friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and clean. Plan on returning. Top notch.Parking: Street parking, plan ahead. Having a "pay by phone" app will save time.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is on single floor. Door could accommodate wheelchair. Space inside would be tight, but doable. Seating outside would be best.“

“First-time visiting Saturday night. We had a great time! Our bartenders were Diego and Chris and they were amazing. We laughed and stayed until they closed. We had such a great time and will visit again! Highly recommend if you are in the area and want to grab a drink or some food! Diego made me one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Ask for him“

“What an amazing find! This is the best pizza and pasta place in Miami. I have been looking for a place like this for a long time. Small and intimate, service was excellent, we were actually served bye the owner herself! She gave us a great pizza recommendation. The pizza is full of flavor, not too greasy; I normally don’t eat the crust and I ate the whole slice. I was pleasantly surprised carbonara was on the menu and had to get it. It did not disappoint. The red sauce for the sausage fettuccine was one of the best red sauces I’ve ever tasted. There are many pizza and pasta choice to choose from, you will never get bored of eating here. Can’t wait to go back. This is a family owned business that I am very happy to support and spread the word. Amazing!! A“

“An authentic Italian restaurant! we tried their pizzas, and they were delicious! They tasted so fresh, reminiscent of the ones we enjoyed in Italy. While they also offer some "Italian-American" dishes that aren't typical in Italy, it's nice they have those options available. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, but it's a small space, so consider that if you plan to visit during their busy hours.The only drawback was the hurried service from our server, which is unfortunately common in some places in South Florida. While I appreciate efficient service, I was still enjoying my pizza when she rushed to offer dessert and handed us the check before I had finished chewing. The food arrived quickly, and I understand the need to turn tables, especially in a small restaurant, but it wasn't particularly busy and no one was waiting for tables, so it felt a bit impolite.Overall, we loved the food, and the service, although speedy, was efficient. Just be prepared for a quick dining experience.“

“Is my first time eating here I was passing by with my niece after a Broadway show and we really enjoy it. The lemonade was from the house and it was delicious. And everything that we ate there was delicious made fresh. I really recommend this place. I'm coming again with my family.“

“I had a nice evening with my son . He picked this location to take me on a date. A great mother-son date experience at this location. Once seated , drink order was taken and delivered within mins along with my sons kids food order ( I always place that first so he can start eating asap) then once entree order was placed, the salad and bread sticks came out within a few mins too. I was so shocked about how quick it was! Another few moments passed and there was my entree ! Great service , server was sweet she even shared some conversation with my son and I. TO ADD: I was also given a fresh portion of the endless salad to go along with my take home entree for my husband! Highly recommend this location“

“Moved close by in October, and quite honestly, this place saves the area. Not only is the staff great, but the food is extremely well portioned & priced. Good Tacos, Pasta, Corn, & Quesadillas. The Shrimp pasta has over 20 shrimp in each serving every time! Open late as well! Honestly, Tacopasta deserves more hype!“

“Great food and service. A variety of food items to choose from. The pizza is amazing.“

“We loved this pizza. It's a gem in the area. The pizza sauce and dough are delicious. I wish they had a bigger place to be able to eat inside. It's more a place for pick up. This is our favorite pizza place in the south west area.“

“Excellent and delicious. Family business. Owners are super friendly. I tried the Lomo Saltado and it is one of the best I’ve had. Everything is fresh and made to order. Service is a 10 out of 10. I’ll be going back to try the rest of the menu. Great job guys.“

“No complaints! The Veal Valdostana was pretty tasty and a generous portion. The stella I ordered came in a frozen glass which was refreshing. The tiramisu was amazing and the expreso just right. Gypsy our waitress did a good job. Will definitely come back. The prices on the menu differ from what we were charged so they definitely need to update that. Other than that, will definitely come back.“

“pizza here is usually good but tonight it was amazing! Highly recommend it!“

“If you love pizza but try to be healthy...this is the place for you! They have all types of healthy crusts like cauliflower (my favorite), broccoli and zucchini. They have all types of toppings to choose from and they also have delicious wings and lasagna. The service is excellent and Thaila always serves us well. Danne the chef is the absolute best! He always treats our family like royalty and makes sure we are satisfied with our food. It's always clean and pleasant to dine here. I recommend coming here.“

“Everything is delicious The Pasta, Pizza garlic rolls. Sangria is amazing!!!“

“Best secret in Kendall. Love this place. The service is superb, great food and beautiful ambience“

“Great mom and pop shop I found on accident in the corner of the shopping center. Extremely nice people very welcoming. Whole place is decked out old school Miami sports. The food was great and the best part is it seems to be a local secret there were two large tables there and us the tables looked like regulars, people coming from the back to say hello. This is our go. To pizza place for a date night now. Try it you will not be disappointed“

“So we were on a search for our new go to pizza joint in our area and stumbled on this food truck. We figured might as well because the commercials chains always disappoint. The owners were so sweet!! Great customer service which is SO important !!! But the pizza was actually delicious. Super generous with the cheeese , flavor was on point , not too much sauce. 10/10 will return. And recommend.“

“We ordered Tomato & Basil Soup, Steel cut Irish Oatmeal with fruits, almond & walnuts and Florentine Benedict. Everything was delicious. Make sure to get a table in the outdoor patio (towards the back of restaurant), really pretty. Ideal for dates or brunches with friends. Would love to come back for sure. Despite being crowded, service is excellent!“

“The food overall very good. The calamari was hard and soft or in between. The wine and sangria were good. The main dishes shrimp fettuccine Alfredo and salmon were very good. The tiramisu was a delicious. Thank you for a great Mother's Day dinner. I recommend to have more pink sauce dishes.“

“This small hole in a wall establishment is a great place to start my open table reviews. Although not my first time at this restaurant, my overall dining was a delightful experience from start to finish as usual. The lighting at the restaurant is a little off but the delicious food and impeccable service made for a memorable experience. My experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional as the food is made to order and super fresh! April 4th, 2024“

“Best pizza in town. Also the chicken milanes is phenomenal. Salads are really good too. Food always comes really fast, servers are always happy to see you. Rebecca, our server several times is awesome. Hence the reasons I keep coming back here.“

“The best pizza and wings and beer and fellowship with friends in Miami period. Love you guys, Mike and Deb, and the rest of the family. Miss you guys. Will visit anytime I come through Homestead.“

“Wonderful staff and do an excellent job with what they're given to work with. Extremely pleasant and respectful and they always have our food ready when they say they will. And it's excellent for a 20-something Dollar Pizza...If they didn't make you happy just eat someplace else, the crew works way too hard trying to make everybody happy then leaving them a spineless behind the scenes negative review. Better yet try leaving them a respectful tip. Keep up the Great work!“

“I called for a personal pan pizza for take out. The woman (Maria) who answered was Super friendly! She said my pizza would be ready in 15 min and when I got there 15 min later it was ready to go hot, tasty and fresh. Maria offered me a coupon that gave me a free drink and couldn't have been nicer. I can't speak to delivery, but they are try to hire managers and drivers so maybe that's the reason for the other negative reviews. Too bad not open on Sundays.“
