Tasty authentic Italian in Miami! This is not American-Italian, but as if you are in really in Italy. Incredible fish and pasta dishes. Reminded me of Roberto's on Arthur Ave. I had breaded chicken with a fresh tomato salad. Calamari was light and fresh, sauce was even better. Excellent service. Took a client for lunch, will be going here often.

Family came out here to celebrate my moms birthday, the restaurant was told it was a birthday reservation and we’d be celebrating. Here are the worst 3 things we experienced here. 1.Dirty glasses, im talking literal stains and crumbs on them (disgusting). 2. Ladies bathroom toilet was literally flooding so I couldn’t go, when I went up to tell the manager as a courtesy she mockingly said “mhm THANKS” followed by a cruel smile? If it sounds ridiculous to you, trust me, it was. The server standing next to her had to make up for her nastiness and tell me in a pleasant tone“thank you for letting us know, we’ll see to it.” 3. At the end of the dinner I was offered to look at the dessert menu and said “no, thank you” this manager was BOLD enough to go up to the birthday person and tell them personally “I would’ve brought you something to celebrate ~on the house~ but you didn’t even want to see the dessert menu so you wont be getting one.” My mom was just genuinely so hurt that this restaurant manager tried to sour her evening by intentionally making things uncomfortable for her. Would love to speak to the owner about manager qualifications at this establishment.

Calamari: crispy and fresh no salt 7/10 Verde salad: crispy and fresh yet forgettable (how about those 3 paper thin apple slices) 6/10 presentation not good. Brasso: tender yet extremely dry , sauce tastes store bought. 5/10 lasagna: 7/10 With a small menu i would expect better presentation and thoroughness. Do you want return customers? Customer service and attentiveness relative to inflated reviews , price point and location 4/10 Texting behind the counter ... at least go in the back, So forgettable, incredulous of the star ratings.

A great find when we were visiting Miami. The service was definitely the best we have had during the trip. Our server, Nicolas, was really friendly and helpful.The food was mostly good, however sadly my Saffron Risotto was really salty. I’m still giving this 5 stars as the other dishes were perfection and assume this was just an anomaly.

Had a great dinner at this cozy Italian restaurant. Overpriced pastas but the quality was there.
The food was outstanding! We loved everything we ordered. We recommend this restaurant. Also, the service was fantastic! We were impressed; this is a place we will be back to when we are back in Miami.

*sigh*It really sucks that I have to leave this kind of review but this is definitely the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant... ever!First, it took them forever to take even get our drinks. My mom and I were sitting outside, so you'd think that because of all the humidity of Miami, they'd ensure that if they are going to bring some drinks out (whether it's water, soda, etc), they'd have a bucket of ice to make sure that your drink doesn't get warm too fast? Nope. Didn't happen. I haven't been to every single restaurant in the world, but I wish that were the standard. It took forever to get our appetizers. I ordered the Vitello Tonnato and my mother ordered the Frittelle di Baccala. After appetizers, we waited about 30-40 minutes for our main dish! This is such a bittersweet review, and I almost feel bad because the food was actually AMAZING. The Spaghetti Gamberi & Limone was wow, I am still drooling just thinking about it. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice as well. I loved how packed it was. I also really loved the dogs that were so well behaved (if you don't like animals near your food, might not be the place for you). But the service. Ugh, the service is what truly makes or breaks it for me. Maybe it was just a bad day? I'm not sure. They have so many delicious items on their menu that I'd love to try, so maybe when I go back to Miami, the second time will be much better! :)

Good.Something changed in the kitcgen compared to few months ago...sorry to say...still good but not excellent.
The owner attended to us. We've been going for years. The food is always good. They update the menu, and have creative specials. The wine selection is curated and ample. It's always a delicious meal and it is a relaxed atmosphere — one can actually have a conversation.

Everything was cooked to perfection.The pappardelle was perfect in bite texture.I recommend the octopus for those who like octopus. I had to fight off the other people at the table for some so maybe order two servings.All the staff were pleasant and very genial people.

This was our second time coming here from out of town and it was just as great as the first time! The pasta never disappoints and the flavors are always on point! The ambiance and service were great, truly a great place to try if you're wanting some quality, authentic Italian!
