The food and service was fine. But they make the poor waitresses wear the ugliest, ill-fitting, sorry excuse for a garment. It's Miami Beach, not a Siberian penal colony!

Haven't been on Ocean Drive in years but must have to say we had an excellent time . We went to Miami Beach for an Expo and decided to hit the Drive for dinner and came upon this Italian Resturant that was fabulous !!!!!!! Started off with Kale Cesar salad that was very large portion and complimented it with a Margarita pizza . The main dish was the gnochi s and they were amazing . Never had them before baked and crispy on top , a must have dish .

I met Paula and Givanni. The best hospitality on ocean Sri e in south beach Miami. Please give the Pelican a try. So much fun and I am honored to have been your guest at the Pelican.

Try their pizza, it's coal-fired and tastes great. Perfect amount of food to split with a friend after a day at the beach if you don't want anything too heavy. Service was good. Drinks a bit so-so but no different than most other spots on the strip to be honest.

Je vous déconseille cet endroit. La nourriture est juste mangeable mais le service était vraiment terrible. L'attente était si longue. Pourtant d'autres tables arrivés après nous étaient servis avant... c'est vraiment dommage

The manager and hostess were very friendly our server not so much. We came early to enjoy happy hour which the manager seemed please to hear. We sat on the street to enjoy the view and people watching. Our server didn't seem that thrilled that we wanted to enjoy happy hour and then have dinner.

The atmosphere was very nice and the service was friendly. But there are better pizzas. This was quite expensive. At the end there was an additional 20% service fee. This restaurant is too expensive for what you get.

They pushed tables together for us. I was really appreciative that they took their time to accommodate our large group. The service was impeccable and the food was incredible. Best lasagna I've ever had. Perfectly matched with wine. Romantic setting. Everything else on that strip is loud and cheap. This place stands out on its own. I swear try the lasagna.

I celebrated my birthday in 2023 and it was great, so wanted to do the same for 2024. unfortunately, the chef changed, and the menu and its presentation are completely different, not the wow effect we experienced last year. the quality of the food is good but less curated. I made the reservation giving some info about the dinner and I think they didn't read it. Regardless the disappointment of this dinner, at this restaurant you can have a very good meal in you are in Ocean Drive area. Prices are reasonable.
