This was our first dinner this time in Miami and I fell in love. The waitress was so great, and the decor was next level cute. It made me want to stay in the hotel next time to be closer to this restaurant. Then the food came and it was so delicious! Every dish we got... the Carpaccio was so mouth watering melt in your mouth! Then the mushroom risotto was incredible as were all other dishes we had. I will absolutely be coming back here every time I come to Miami. The bill definitely added up fast, but it was worth it! read more

Came back with another couple and truly enjoyed the evening. I will be honest with you. The food that is served here at Amalia is the highest quality flavor and presentation you could ever wish to have. The service is excellent, and the ambience is intimate, boutique luxury. The $65 Tenderlion Mignon pepper steak was so tall, half of it sat hidden in the mashed potatoes. Absolutely delicious, and what a bargain because this same dish would have been near $100 at most evening spots these days. Emoji read more

Breakfast dining experience at Amalia Restaurant located inside the Lennox Hotel in Miami Beach was a pleasant one. The interior was clean and nicely decorated. They also have outdoor seating area where the walls are covered with moss and in between them you can see the real orchid flower pots nesting. The cappuccino was good. The espresso on ice was nice, little strong, but good flavor. The freshly squeezed orange juice was refreshing. For $10 a glass, the amount wasn't enough for me. My fiancee had eggs and truffle and it was 4/5. I ordered the eggs Benedict with Serrano ham and it was okay, I would give it 3/5. There were too many flavors and all of it didn't go well together. Maybe other people will enjoy it, so don't just take my opinion for it, please try it yourself to see what you think. The servers were warm, friendly, and welcoming. It was one of the reasons why we decided to dine here instead of other place that we were going to go to. Be aware that 20% gratuity is already included on your tab. The servers may or may not tell you this. I had to ask my server if it was already included and he confirmed it. The service was nice that I left little extra on top of the 20%. Anyway, next time we are in the area, we will definitely keep Amalia Restaurant as one of our options for dining in. The parking situation is insane. Please either uber there or if you are staying at the Lennox hotel, be prepared to wait half an hour to hour wait for the valeted car to be brought out to you. Our car took little under an hour wait to get to the hotel. read more

Pretty restaurant with nice outdoor seating on the balcony, very instagrammable. I'd recommend for breakfast if staying at the Lennox hotel. The breakfast omelette with prosciutto and sun-dried tomatoes was delicious. Service was the only downside, can be lukewarm and inattentive. read more

I ate breakfast at this hotel restaurant for five days and this was by far the nicest restaurant at a hotel that I've been to. Everyday we were greeted by the waitstaff with warm smiles. Everything we ate was exceptional as well as the latte. I hope the Amalia never leaves the Lennox Hotel because it is seriously a great benefit. read more

What a great experience! The drinks were fantastic--especially the mojito, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. We started with the hummus appetizer and it was delicious, followed by the lamb chops that were cooked beautifully. To end the night, the chocolate dessert was the perfect sweet finish. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making the whole evening feel special. Highly recommend for both food and atmosphere! read more

4.5! We sat at the bar for happy hour and the bartender was very nice. Food was good! Little bites but we all enjoyed it. Gorgeous drinks. Sweet potato fries were the best. No ranch though, be warned. read more

Tip added to my bill that was NOT in my handwriting - had to dispute with my bank for months!!! Very hard to reach the restaurant as well - no direct phone line. While the food tasted great, the price point was high. Service was slow, making us rush for our continued Bachelorette plans, even though we had allotted 2.5h for a group dinner. read more

Very surprised with the quality of food; writing this review in late August and the Miami Beach area was very quiet and this place was nearly empty during my stay at Lennox Hotel. Since I didn't want to explore the area for food in a 95 degrees weather + 80% humidity, I decided to give this place a try. Ordered three things: prosciutto & calamari salad, half portion branzino and flan. All three dishes hit the spot and I actually finished all these in one sitting because it was so good, I would be committing sin if I leave anything behind. Strongly recommend trying this place! read more

Amalia Restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Pros . Good service pretty ambience Let me start by emphasizing the Williams-Sonoma decor detail & wallpapers aesthetic all lovely in this tiny restaurant. CONS. Are restaurants out of their mind charging these exaggerated prices. $35+ per plate. I get it, I do understand it is Miami Beach and a tourist trap. Now to the food. The octopus was hard chewy and the plate itself had savory southern style potatoes, MX guacamole as well an octopus seasoned in a different style in total 3 ideas in 1 appetizer. Again, same thing happened with the brussels sprouts everything was great until you reached all the way to the bottom and again savory crispy brussels sprouts on top of baby food textured guacamole, why? Stop the madness guacamole is not Mediterranean. And make up your mind on which flavor road you're trying to attempt. Now let's get to the main course. The Bolognese was delicious as per my spouse's review. But my Fiocchi pear was under seasoned and mind you it had every single Garnish the chef had in the back of his kitchen. You had balsamic you had sun-dried tomato the basil the creaminess but zero seasoning. Desert was also over priced but average. I give this place one year before it's forgotten. Unless the owners have very deep pockets. read more

Our first night of our vacation landed us here for dinner, as it was a nice easy walk from our beachfront hotel. The restaurant is tucked up on a side street, and is a lovely indoor/outdoor restaurant. It is very clear why this place gets rave reviews. The restaurant inside was empty when we arrived so we felt like we were having this incredible private dining experience. The staff were very attentive ensuring we were well taken care of. There were five of us, so we ordered the bread, brussels sprouts and warm brie to start. The bread was interesting, it was a very small little round loaf of pull apart pieces. My husband who is a big bread person could have easily eaten half of it, if not the entire thing. I ordered the Pumpkin And Ricotta Ravioli, which was good. Ordered at the table was also the Mushroom Risotto, Porcini Ravioli, Grilled Branzino and my husband ordered a pasta dish with shrimp. He was a bit disappointed that there were only a couple of shrimp. The food was clearly made very fresh to order, which was wonderful. We enjoyed the meal and service very much... I think for me the disconnect is with the prices (e.g. $24 for a moderate amount of Brussels Sprouts) and the portions. Considering location, and everything else I totally get it but it still seemed a bit pricey for what landed on the table. While it was very good, it was not great... although the staff and ambiance certainly was. read more

Hello my name is Irene Mendoza and i'm currently sitting down at Amalia Restaurant inside the Lennox Miami Beach Hotel (1900 Collins Ave Miami Beach, Fl 33139). I'm writing to you because i'm beyond disappointed on one of your servers (Antonio). he was very unprofessional and rude. We waited at least for 15 minutes before he came back to pick up the card to pay. He took our order and never came back to check if we needed anything else. I waited for at least 10 minutes before i tag him out to get me a refill of my orange juice which he didn't even stop he kept walking and said yeah, yeah, therefore i had enough and decided i would not order anything else meanwhile whole time i see him just standing while i'm trying to get his attention to order more stuff. read more

Came here on a whim after the door guy at Mila denied my wife entry for dinner at 6pm due to her wearing sandals...Valentino Sandals. Glad they did, because we ended up at Amalia on the patio, and had a wonderful experience! Our server, Melina, was super accommodating and friendly! We had the full Branzino, which was cooked perfectly, and Grandma's Gnocchi, which was light, yet flavorful. This dinner elsewhere would have likely been MUCH more expensive, so the value here is a bonus. Definitely a low key, quiet/romantic spot with great attention to detail throughout. read more

We were at a wine event in the convention center. This was a quick walk over and we decided to try it. The food was really good. My gnocchi were spot on and the other 3 diners really enjoyed their meals. The interior is super nice with a clean modern take on art deco interior using soft pinks and white; low key ambiance in the best way. Service was great and I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

The service is phenomenal- they even accommodated us as we walked in at 9:57 and they closed at 10. I wish I could say that for the food. We had the octopus to start and it was mid at best. The accompaniments were good but the octopus was a bit chewy - it would have helped if it was charred or crispy. My bf had the pork schnitzel and it was burnt around the edges and barely done in the center. I had the lobster ravioli and the sauce was nice but the ravioli was so hard - maybe a freezer ravioli? Not sure. Maybe the food wasn't the best because they were closing and rushing to get out. I will say the ambiance is gorgeous. The hotel and staff have been amazing and would wish the food would be up to par but idk try it for yourself. I definitely wouldn't eat there again. read more

Though Amalia is on busy Collins Avenue it is recessed and somewhat hidden so it easy to pass but if you do go in you will most likely be impressed by the decor. The dining room is beautiful but often in great looking restaurants comfort is sacrificed for design but here the seats and banquettes are as well thought out and designed as the room itself. And the attention to detail goes beyond room decor as the flatware and dishes are better than most restaurants and there are even monogrammed napkins. However it seems like the micro-detailing stopped at the design because the menu is cliched and lacking any innovations - also there are no Specials of the Day and just the usual hotel dining room basics are featured. We opted for a few pasta dishes and the Mushroom Ravioli was very good and an Orecchiette was average. None of the food we had here was bad but there was nothing to swoon over but the comfortable surroundings elevate the rating from average to good and if anyone is looking for a respite from busy Miami Beach than this is a good place for a break. read more

Don't miss the brussel sprouts, fiocchi, or the dulche de leche flan. The fiocchi especially. The atmosphere was also beautiful and the staff was super friendly. read more

Really surprised they don't have any reviews. Super cute atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. You feel like you are in a botanical garden while eating outside. We had the burrata appetizer which was so delicious, then I followed it with the mushroom ravioli in a cream sauce which was delightful. Highly recommend checking this place out (pricy) but oh so good. read more

Had a great dinner here, menu, service, decor, everything. Finding that in Miami Beach is surprisingly hard. Our Amalia waiter previously worked at a very well known Japanese hotel/restaurant (begins with "N") further north in Miami Beach so we could compare his observations and experience with our own. Bottom line: Amalia cares; the other one, not so much -- lives largely on its name, you pay twice as much (different menu, obviously) but the service can be major disappointment. Amalia is based in a hotel that ALSO has high standards. They reinforce one another. Seriously, give this relatively low profile place a shot, doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

Tucked slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Collins sits this exquisite Italian/Mediterranean restaurant that truly is outstanding. I was treated to this place by a dear friend. We shared all the plates so we could get a better sampling of the dishes (all were vegetarian). Pastas here are done with so much care and finesse that it's simply fantastic. Mushroom porcini ravioli is a celebration of flavour, and so was the pear fiocchi. The starters were equally impressive with a wonderful beet and kale salad with a light but savoury pistachio encrusted cream. Brussel sprouts were what dreams are made of. Dessert consisted of an almost solid ganache type chocolate and my friend had the pavlova. Mariano and staff are top notch and it shows. Thank you for participating in the program. Our waiter Tony was always friendly and always accomodating. Such a beautiful restaurant with it's whimsical flower shaped lamps and matching theme throughout. There is outside as well as inside seating, however on summer days you may want to opt for the air conditioned option. The only negative I found here was that no one answered the phone for the restaurant. Please book through open table for a reservation, it's easier. Yes, they truly earn their 5 star rating and they will prove it to you. read more

Excellent delicious food and good service. Very healthy haute cuisine. You will love it

This is truly a hidden gem that everyone needs to discover. Everything at Amalia is absolutely delicious. I've been there for brunch, lunch, and dinner and cannot rave enough about it. The decor is also so adorable, perfect for a girl's night/brunch or a date night! read more

This place never fails me, this time I was finally able to try the gnocchi & it didn't disappoint. I always said my favorite piece of lasagna was in the middle of Venice, Italy tucked away somewhere within all those back alleys. Needles to say I'll probably never find it again but I can say this is the best gnocchi I've had in a very long time. Highly recommend. Grazie! read more

The atmosphere was 10/10. We sat outside and the decor/setting was beautiful. The food was delicious, I got the gnocchi and my boyfriend got the bolognese.
