Amber Rose R.

Very beautiful Authentic Italian cafe. A break from the mundane, with great paninis. I had the zucchini parmesan- it was scrumptious and is great for breakfast or lunch. The menu is very catered toward the light eater, but my plate was balanced with a side of chips. The atmosphere here is gorgeous. Go for a beautiful date. The walk nearby is perfect, especially after a healthy meal like one of these.

Came here and had the best Smoked Salmon Cesar Salad! Absolutely great little cafe with options for everyone. My friends got the tiramisu, A da Vinci sandwich and the Perry Salad Each of us enjoyed our meals. Can't wait to visit Miami again..

This review is strictly based on take-out. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and salumi and cheese plate. Both were absolutely delicious. I was craving some fettuccine Alfredo and this hit the spot! The pasta tasted homemade, but I'm not sure about that. The salumi and cheese plate had 3 different types of meat and 3 different types of cheese, with some arugula and tomatoes. Was very good! I will deff come check this place out in person!

Located on the north end of Ocean Drive this cafe is serving up an amazing variety of real deal capital T TASTY Italian dishes. They also offer great Lavazza coffee and expresso along with amazing wines from Zonin. I had the Da Vinci Panini which included Brie, turkey, tomatoes, arugula, and mayonnaise and is then hot pressed to absolute perfection. What a delicious sandwich!

Croissant with ham and cheese & ice latte for less than $10

Very good place with great service. Location is great, on Ocean Dr, next to Starbucks. Customer service is great and food and drinks are good.

Nice little Italian coffee place with Latina servers hah! That doesn't take away the amazing coffee and cozy interiors this place has to offer and yes warm service. Tad expensive though. We only stopped for coffee but will want to try the food options if we get a chance. Much better experience to sit back and take it all in as compared to standard Starbucks next door.

Coffee is delicious and the cornetto with Nutella is unforgettable. We have been in Miami for a couple of days and have come every morning for a caffè lungo and a cornetto. Both the sweet cornetto & whole wheat cornetto are incredible. It's nice to know that next time we travel here that we have a great place to get breakfast! Grazie mille!!!!

We stumbled on this place walking down from the beach. Very cute spot and a great location. I love that they have outdoor seating. Depending on the time of day, seats can get limited. I got a mocha and their tiramisu. Both were good.

Soooooooo Good! If you have a palette for Fresh Food and amazing Italian dishes which are freshly made right there this place is your pick. The food was so good and you gotta try their soup of the day. That day I had pea soup and it was the best I ever had

Now I know why The Front Porch across the street has a wait--this place is VERY disappointing. The worst waiter I have had in years. He must be new, nobody can be trained and be this bad. Coffee took 10 minutes, asked for cream 10 more minutes and coffee was cold. No refill. Eggs came scrambled and we ordered over easy. Asked for salt and pepper and it never came. We had to go inside and get it ourselves. Never refilled water or coffee. Fried eggs came out on same plate as scrambled with now cold meat. Then they tried to overcharge us.

Don't waste your time coming here and spending any money. The staff pretends to be Italian when the only Italian thing is their decor. I came here for breakfast and had a waiter who was trying to charge me for his mistake - I ordered coffee he gave me an espresso and wanted to charge me for both the coffee and espresso! Service was also very slow and when I saw my bill the waiter also tried to charge me more money than my breakfast combo was supposed to charge! By the time I paid I saw so many red flags that I paid in cash! When I was eating my food I noticed most people got drinks only but based on the lackluster service, I won't be coming back here. read more

This was a very expensive and disappointing meal. Our friend order an appetizer which came AFTER the pizza we shared. My husband added Italian sausage to his pepperoni pizza - $10 extra. Our salads came with no dressing; after asking twice, we got a bottle of olive oil and a bottle of vinegar; no other options. We waited 30 minutes for the bill which was all messed up. In their defense, the pizza and Spaghetti with seafood sauce got a thumbs up. I would suggest they up their game if they want to stay in business. read more

One caveat to my review below - hence 4 stars. A service charge is included but they don't tell you this information. I gave an additional 20% tip on a bill that already had 18% charge. Just be aware of this fact. Excellent coffee. They serve Lavazza beans. I've had their espresso and americano several times now and it's been a consistent delight. The coffee is delicious, hot and not acidic. The staff is very chill and just want to make sure you feel at home. For example, I requested the barista to make make me 2 double espressos in glass cups (Who wants to drink a wonderful espresso in a paper cup?) and permission to walk it across the street to have it with my cigar in the cigar shop. He didn't even think twice and simply said "yes" based on the honor system - he had just met me. There's a chain coffee company on the other end of this strip. Avoid it and support this local café. And yes, I did return the glass cups. read more

This Italian place was disappointing. We ordered the gnocchi, it was very blend. The seafood pizza was also a non-starter. They put clams and mussels with shell on top of the pizza to take up more space, which to me is weird, how was I suppose to eat it together?! My recommendation would be to deshell all and put more seafood on the pizza. Lastly they try to get us to buy the promotion "buy 1 and get 1 free" but it only apply if both people bought medium or large, good idea if the food was good to stay longer.. read more

Step up a few stairs, walk through the main entrance doors and beyond the sofas in the foyer is the entrance which looks more like an entrance to an office. The door gives way to slightly dim warm lighting, which creates an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. I sat at the bar with my husband and heard the bartender, Phillip taking repeated orders of old fashioned and espresso martini. I saw a table polishing glasses and glasses of wines and then came the surprise - their selections! Their selections were smaller than expected but thoughtfully chosen. We asked Phillip for his recommendations, along the lines of red & bold. He gladly pointed us to a wine that was not on the menu. It seems they offer a menu selection and off-menu/rotating selection from unique wine regions. We had a red blend from China (yes that's correct, it surprised me equally). But then I realized, I haven't had wines from most of the regions they offer and the curiosity sets in. Looking forward to explore the menu and off-menu selection.

It came up to about $40. We enjoyed a bottle of chardonnay - nicely cool and crisp - while chatting and enjoying the game. I think they just have bottles, not wine by the glass.

The vibe outside was amazing such a great atmosphere for a night out with friends. Their wine selection is solid! We shared a bottle of Moscato, and I also had a Cabernet Sauvignon. For food, we got a charcuterie board with brie, baguette, olives, and salami, and everything was delicious. Such a simple but perfect pairing with the wine. Only small downside was that inside could definitely use better air conditioning because it got pretty warm. But overall, the vibes, wine, and food made for a great night. Will definitely be back!

Great Miami vibe without the jacked up Miami tourist trap prices…read more This place was a pleasant surprise for the price and atmosphere considering it is in Miami. They have a limited menu but the food was flavorful. Very cool casual chill spot with a friendly atmosphere and live music in front. It kinda reminds me of a speakeasy vibe with the courtyard dining at the back of the building. Now I will have to come here every time I visit Miami.

The Spanish tapas are great for sharing and that way you can try everything too. The pan con tomate was so simple yet one of the best things on the menu. The ingredients they use are so fresh! The tuna tar tar was also one of my favorites and the sauce was drinkable it was so light and complemented the tuna so well. The octopus was not as I would have expected and in a rich cheesy sauce but still very flavorful and tender. The empanadas were perfect as well. Our server Conrad was so friendly and helped us with recommendations for wine and dishes.

El ambiente es cálido, relajado y con una energía muy cool -- perfecto para ir con amigos o en plan date. Las croquetas de jamón son un must absoluto (probablemente las mejores de Miami), la paella de mariscos está llena de sabor auténtico y el jamón ibérico de bellota es simplemente espectacular. Además, los cócteles con ginebra son únicos y están preparados con un toque artesanal que se nota en cada sorbo. El servicio es amable y el lugar tiene ese equilibrio perfecto entre casual y sofisticado.

But Sarah said no problem will accommodate you come right in. Our waiter was Chris. I can't say enough about him. He professionalism, his attention and his friendliness. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. (See pics) Everyone of the appetizers were well presented, the taste was delicious and the portions were enough for two. I ordered the lettuce wedge with a crab cake. My friend ordered the ravioli. The ambiance is perfect for date night.

We ordered their regular cup with two scoops - playing but very creamy Greek yogurt as well as raspberry sorbet. This option, which we enjoy maraschino cherries, and dried fig pieces to balance for sleep without. It has the right amount of sweet, and the regular cup is the right size to share. Definitely stop by to make your sweet tooth happy!

Was quite pleased with what I ordered. Ham Croqueta: Crispy outside breading and very gooey inside. There were nice ham chunks inside. Chicken Croqueta: Same format as the ham croqueta. Though this one was kinda bland. The chicken strands just kinda blended in with the gooey mush center whereas the ham chunks were nice and smoky. Tequeño: Nicely executed with a cheesy center and crispy outside. Cuban Sandwich: I like how they really pay attention an evenly distributed and nicely crisped press on both sides. Many places are only partially crispy. The ratio of ham, pork, cheese, pickles and mustard was just right. The flavors worked in harmony and there wasn't one ingredient that dominated the rest.

This charming Italian café serves house-made desserts, savory pizzas and sandwiches, and authentic, perfectly brewed coffee.

The pizzas are drizzled with rich extra virgin olive oil and topped with vibrant, fresh ingredients -- simple and delicious. Friendly (and good-looking) staff, great music, and seating inside and on the patio create that lively neighborhood café feel. I ended up going back every single day of my stay. Bellissimo!

The prices are hard to beat anywhere in Miami Beach. Burgers run about $10, shakes around $6, draft beers $5, and fries about $4.

Seating inside is limited and bar-style only, with most tables outside. Even when the tables fill up, turnover is steady, so you usually don't have to wait long.

Rosetta Bakery

No vabbè, qua ti senti in Italia ma col bel caldo tropicale di Miami!…read more We came to Rosetta bakery for un caffettino ma then we decided we needed to order everything we saw. JK but our eyes really wanted to, especially when I laid eyes on the Nutella croissant section. From delicious paninozzo bello ripieno perfect to take to go and eat at the beach, to delicious pizzette e focaccia, Rosetta Bakery has everything you need for that sweet or savory tooth. We had the best breakfast, tipico Italiano, with nutella croissants, caffè macchiato e caffè, come in Italia. Everything is baked fresh, at the spot and you can see all the hard work through the little glass window. This place makes you feel good and it's food dopamine for your nose and eyes. Can't wait to come here again next time I'm in the area.

I especially like all the freshly baked smells coming from the active bakery onsite. Chocolate Cake: What can make chocolate cake even better? A nutella-like frosting! It really took this to a whole new indulgent level. Apricot Croissant: Why spread jam on your croissant when it comes pre-jammed? A nice amount of tangy apricot jam inside the flaky pastry. A great way to start the day. Pistachio Eclair: Normally I'm a chocolate frosting and vanilla custard guy, but they didn't have that combination. Was pleasantly surprised by the sweet pistachio cream, made it feel very European. Cannoli: A tiny little indulgence of dense sweet cheese inside a not-that-crispy-anymore shell. Potentially made awhile ago; wonder if a fresher one would have had a better crunch. I did like the candied orange peel at one of the ends. Mortadella Sandwich: A simple way to live up the olive roll. A few slices of mortadella to make it meaty and feel kinda fancy European. Ham & Sweet Baguette: Simple and easily transportable to the beach. The baguette tastes fresh, likely made onsite not that long before. It had a good chew. The ham and cheese are just enough protein to make it into a meal. Might have been even better with a little mustard. Mortadella, Cheese, Sun Dried Tomato Sandwich: A nice soft roll with lots of mortadella, some fresh mozzarella and heavy umami sundried (or slow baked?) tomatoes. The addition of those tomatoes really ratcheted up the flavor of the bread, meat, cheese.
