I've dined at this restaurant twice. Once for a work function and recently went again for dinner with my family. Oddly enough, I ordered the same dish and it's as if I had ordered two completely different things. The dish in question is the Branzino with Risotto, which I found to be perfectly cooked and served over their signature champagne risotto the first time around. I absolutely loved it and made it a point to come back with the family, so it's unfortunate that the experience wasn't the same this last time around. We ordered the croquetas, salmon sashimi, gnocchi, pear ravioli, the Branzino, and their version of tiramisu for dessert. The food wasn't bad but nothing was wow either, and for $200 it's hard to give more than an average rating when I could've gotten a much better meal for that price. The croquetas are good, but I feel like they're missing ham. It's an interesting flavor but not something I'd go out of my way for. The sashimi appetizer isn't actually sashimi and is over sauced. It's also a tiny portion with about six slices of fish. The Branzino entree tasted fine, but was also drowned in sauce where the first time I had it there was barely any sauce and the fish had a nice crust. I was raving about it to the wife prior to going, so when they served it I was immediately embarrassed. lol. The pear ravioli had good flavor, but could benefit from some figs or a crunch component. It would also be nice to get more than 5 ravioli. As for the gnocchi, it was actually very well prepared but needed a salty contrast. The description read prosciutto in the end otherwise I would've vetoed my son since he had never tried gnocchi, but it was a tiny bit of powder and not pieces of it like I expected. $28 is grossly overpriced for potato balls in cheese. Lastly we had their house tiramisu which had blueberry sauce for some reason. That seems to be a theme from what I saw is they look to throw odd flavors together without thought as to how they pair. Guava is a common theme on many dishes and they have some random looking dishes like the sashimi and a chicken teriyaki over risotto... Honestly, it's a very solid 3 but not somewhere I'd return unless invited. The service was excellent though! No complaints there. Honestly I would've given more than the 18% automatically applied despite the grossly inflated prices so I'm not sure why it's included for a party of 3. read more

The food in this restaurant is simply delicious My family likes to come here for birthday celebrations because their food, service, ambiance is all top of the notch for Italian food. They have valet parking right in front, and there's also street parking nearby. It's a small place. So I suggest to call and make reservations because they're always busy. read more

Over the years I've heard of Caffe Vialetto but until recently had not tried it and I can't believe it took me this long! The restaurant is a little hidden on the corner of Le Juene and Bird so it's easy to miss but for that reason it makes it feel a little more exclusive. Once we walked in we were greeted by the owner (always a good sign when the owners themselves are there) and seated right away. I do recommend making a reservation if you plan to come on the weekend as it was pretty packed when we got there. They give you complementary bread and bruschetta. The bread was really good, with a little bit of a sweet taste that went really nice with the tomatoes. Our server told us they make it fresh in house each day. For apps we decided to get a few things to try.... Shrimp Nuggets: these were amazing and came with a sweet Thai chili guava sauce. This was my personal favorite. Meatballs: these were actually made from Buffalo meat which I never tried before but it was super tasty. It also came with a dollop of ricotta. (I ended up soaking whatever bread was left in the sauce...soo good!) Salmon Sashimi: not what I was expecting to see on the menu but don't pass on it. The salmon was super fresh and the sauce paired perfectly. For my entree I got the pasta special of the day that was made with filet mignon tips and parpadelle. Omg this dish was to die for. The pasta (fresh pasta let me add) was cooked to the perfect al dente. The sauce was rich and decadent and had mushrooms and fresh mozzarella. If you're there and they have this get it! Others at the table got the short rib risotto and the short rib ravioli which all looked amazing. For dessert our server mentioned their most popular one is called the Funk. It's like a take on tiramisu but has blueberry sauce and crushed heath bar pieces and at first it sounded like a lot of different flavors but somehow they all go together! I loved how the hearth bar gave a little bit of crunch. I almost forget to mention the drinks! I'm a whiskey bourbon type of girl so I naturally got the old fashioned and it was hands down one of the best I've had. I can't recommend Caffe Vialetto enough especially if you're celebrating a birthday or anniversary. read more

Server took this restaurant to another level! He was excellent! (See picture) The food was very flavorful, a unique twist on our interpretation of Italian cuisine. Risottos were excellent, salmon was good, tuna with guava sauce was unexpectedly delish. Let's talk RAVIOLI .... OMG the best hands down!!!!! Do yourself a favor and order the pear ravioli, you won't regret it. And if you want more surprise, the fig was exquisite. Tiramisu was eccentric; missed the coffee flavor I love in a tiramisu. The ambiance was very classy and once again server made our experience one of kind! Will certainly return! read more

Food, service, drinks all delicious. Wish i had know about this restaurant sooner. Sad to know they are closing.

Caffe Vialetto is a very nostalgic restaurant located in the central district of Coral Gables. This restaurant has survived many years here and has become a locals favorite. Caffe Vialetto is a small whole in the wall restaurant that has stood its ground and can safely safe it has no reason to leave. They are known for their upscale and elegant ambiance while still giving a family restaurant feel. The owner is always here and takes his time to great all tables and guests whether it is when they are checking in, seated at their table or on their way out. All staff are friendly and provide excellent recommendations to satisfy all customers unique appetites. The food his is delicious and no matter what you settle on you won't be disappointed! read more

I highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or in general if you want to have a downright delicious meal. Venue- The restaurant is actually located behind a 7-Eleven. You would not think such a great place would be here if you didn't hear about it from someone else. The inside is decorated with a modern contemporary look. White clothes tables and relaxing background music. Service- Everyone, starting from the hostess to the manager is beyond welcoming and attentive. They're always making sure that you are enjoying your dining experience. My server did an excellent job at getting a nice crowd together to sing my mother happy birthday. He was also very courteous and had excellent dinner recommendations. Food- The restaurant provides complementary warm bread and tomatillo dip. I have to say that everything we ordered was season perfectly, cooked to perfection, and made with quality ingredients. For starter, we had the burrata that came paired with artichokes and drizzled with a sweet balsamic sauce. The burrata was definitely fresh and served at a good temperature. For dinner we had the fish special which was the hog fish topped with a mango sauce and paired with a cheesy ricotta risotto. To be honest, this dish was out of this world. The sweet and salty combination was perfect. We also tried the lobster ravioli which came with nice chunks of fresh lobster inside. And finally, for dessert we had the tiramisu that was topped with toffee and chocolate chips, also to die for. We literally left super happy and satisfied. You valet your car for $10 in the front and pay using Cash App :-) read more

Cafe Vialetto is a staple in the Gables. The restaurant has been on the corner of Le Jeune and Bird Road for a long time. We like to go here for special occasions and it's always great. Definitely make reservations as they are always packed even if it's a weekday. Their pasta is amazing especially the pear ravioli. I also like the tuna tostones. They have different daily specials and offer great meat and fish. I don't think there's a kids menu but we always order the meatballs from the appetizer menu for our 4 year old because he loved them. read more

Delicious food, service was friendly, ambience could've been better- we're left to eat outside next to parking lot.

Arrived early before anyone and still waited over 30 minutes for food. Waiter rarely came to check on us but at least person pouring water was nice and funny and he was the one to check why are food was taking long. There was no reason for bad service as there were many waiters and restaurant was empty. Expensive for what we ate. Will not be returning. read more

I drove by this place 3 times looking for it but im glad I found it!! Great little Italian restaurant in the gables with plenty of options. Bread for the table to start (wasn't my favorite to be honest) but the ham croquettes were amazing! We also had the meatballs and tuna tostones, both were ok. Probably will stick to the croquetas. Wine was delicious but the bottle for the table was pricy. Took a bite of my friends truffle ravioli and wasn't blown away but the "Pasta Del Año" was phenomenal! Definitely my favorite thing on the menu apart from the mushroom risotto. Highly recommend. And if you have room for dessert, they are all satisfying. All meal portions are definitely shareable! Way too much food for one person unless you're at nothing else lol. Place is small but quaint, no major entrance. It's basically a back door. Atmosphere is just right. Everyone is simply enjoying their meals and company with light music in the background. Reservations are recommended but there is a small bar you can sit at if you're lucky. And the service, excellent! Everyone was super friendly, knowledgeable about the cuisine and wine and so welcoming. Made it feel like we were at home. Honestly a great place! I only give it 4 stars because I'm huge on Italian and although they have some very tasty dishes, i can't say it became my favorite Italian spot, plus it was a bit over priced for 4 compared to other authentic spots (1 bottle of wine, 2 Miami spice delas that included an app, main course and dessert, 2 additional apps and main courses was a little over 400). But I recommend to giving it a try either way. You never know, maybe you'll find the food more enjoyable overall than I did. Either way, it won't disappoint. read more

Caffe Vialetto - Inside - Italian Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Never been here. Of course ended up coming two days before it closed. Not worth for the price. I was expecting better service and food. The waitress had a notebook to take orders, the bartender was saying bad words and mad every time a waiter would order a drink, the food was mid. Wish I could have actually tried this place maybe a year ago. Hope if they do reopen somewhere else it's more organized. As they say when the cats away the mice will play. read more

Caffe Vialetto - Italian Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

When a friend of mine told me that there was this amazing Italian restaurant in Coral Gablea that was a must try, I have to say, I was doubtful. Fast-forward an incredible meal later, and I have to say it really was a must try. A group of us (obviously pre-pandemic) came at night and it feels like your walking into a club. The ambience is definitely different than most Italian restaurants I've been to. The food though, oh the food. It was simply delicious. I thing else needs to be said really. It was great. Everything we tried (I'll provide a list below) was amazing. We had the following and would definitely recommend each item if you haven't tried it before: - Burrata Mozzarella - Salmon Sashimi - Creamy Polenta - Short Rib Risotto - Risotto Fruta di Mare ( Lobster Bisque ) - Pappardelle short ribs - Tres Leches - Guava Cheesecake read more

I wanted to love this place. It was really hyped up so I was expecting 5 stars. There's a lot to love. A LOT. Fresh, handmade pasta. In Miami. Read that again. And some of the flavors were to die for. The setting is beautiful. And it's very intimate (seats probably 40 max). But. I'm from NY. I'm spoiled with the best Italian food, IMO, in the US. So for me, it's not 5 stars. It's maybe 4, probably 3.5. So then why did I give it 2? We were served our water with a broken glass that could've cut a lip, there were flies all over the place, and the service was really poor. Especially for the price. I'm sure other people will go and love it, maybe even tell me I'm crazy. But you can't rate this place the same level as Eataly in the Flatiron and that's what I'm comparing every Italian restaurant to that charges me $400 for 4. read more

Caffe Vialetto - Burrata - Italian Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Is this authentic Italian food? No. Is it delicious? ABSOLUTELY! I really enjoyed my meal here and the service was amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment we left the staff were very hospitable and friendly. Our servers were there anytime we needed something and were always checking on us which I appreciated. The ambiance was perfect for a date night very calm and romantic and they even have a little selfie station when you walk in. The potato croquettes were not my fav I'll definitely pass on those next time but my short rib risotto was delicious I would definitely order it again. I enjoyed my friends spaghetti and meatballs as well very flavorful. The cocktails need work but they do have a decent wine menu. read more

After a looong week, what better way to celebrate than a date night at Caffe Vialetto! My boyfriend has been hyping up this restaurant for years, and, last night, we FINALLY got around to trying it. Needless to say -- 100% worth the wait! The ambiance was intimate and hip all in the same moment, with greenery and modern tones alongside a romantic glow and classic decor. We started out with the Creamy Polenta, a warm cornmeal blended with short rib, mozzarella, and truffle. Despite the intensity of the mixed flavors, it was easy to appreciate each element of the dish, combining textures and palettes perfectly. For our main course, we shared the Pear Raviolj & the Frutta di Mare Risotto 3 Ways with Squid Ink. I'm a sucker for the fruit/cheese combo of a pear ravioli, and Caffe Vialetto's did not disappoint. The superstar of this meal, though, was the Risotto. The dish's ominous appearance was misleading, as it instantaneously illuminated my taste buds and reignited my dwindling appetite. As someone who has never been the biggest fan of risotto, this dish absolutely blew mind my mind, and I would eat it a million times over again! Finally, we treated ourselves to the Nutella Panacotta, a tasty but light dessert to top off an outstanding meal. We will most certainly be back :) read more

Caffe Vialetto is a Coral Gables staple and I recently returned for dinner with a group after a very long hiatus. I left impressed with the service but a little underwhelmed by a few of the entrees we ordered. To start, you're given complimentary bruschetta with warm bread which was one of the highlights for me! I probably could've brushed off the whole loaf to myself if left to my own devices. We also ordered burrata and calamari appetizers which were good. From there, we shared the linguini alla vongole, short rib risotto, and half lobster, half pear ravioli. My favorite out of the bunch was the lobster ravioli (the pear was good too, but I'm not a huge gorgonzola fan). I liked how you could get smaller orders to try both! Besides that, maybe it was the time that the dishes were prepared, but I wasn't in love with the other entrees. Some came cold and were just missing a punch of flavor. Now, dessert was pretty darn tasty. The offerings were an interesting blend of Cuban and Italian sweets, so we ended up trying the guava cheesecake and tiramisu. I'm a huge cheesecake fan and really enjoyed the guava. As mentioned, the service was great throughout and the reason this is a four and not three star review. Our wine glasses were never empty and they checked on us throughout. The atmosphere of Caffe Vialetto makes for a safe date night spot, as you can dress up or down. They also have a private room for parties and valet if you can't find street parking nearby. read more

Happy New Year everyone! Truly hope this finds you all doing well and enjoying New Years Day with your families, loved ones or friends. Went out with my sister and her husband for New Years dinner last night. Truthfully, we were not planning on doing anything but she mentioned Cafe Vialetto earlier in the week and we all decided to go for it. We had been there in the past and always had a good time. Happy to report that we had a wonderful evening and dining experience. To kick things off we all started with some drinks so Lychee Martini's and Old Fashioned's were in order. Have to say that the drinks were great but we did have to ask them to make them a little stronger for us. Hey it's New Years right! . For appetizers we ordered the Meatball And Fried Calamari appetizers. Both were awesome! Calamari was crisp but not greasy at all. The veal meatballs had a phenomenal home made tomato based sauce and were very, very tender with some excellent Ricotta cheese as well that made the overall mix of flavors very interesting. For our main courses we all decide to opt for the "Frutti Di Mare" risotto, sampling both the Champagne and Lobster Bisque risotto options they have on the menu. Long story short both risotto options were awesome and delicious and from the looks on everyone else's faces, I am pretty sure all the other menu options were just as good. Also want to mention that the service was amazing starting with the valet personnel, the host and ending with our server. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming which is always appreciate. Cannot confirm but I believe the owner stopped by our table as well to make sure all was well and that we were enjoying our dining experience. Definitely happy that we joined them for dinner and highly recommend that you try them out if you have not done so already. Overall, they provide a wonderful dining experience and I am sure you won't regret it. Happy New Year again, enjoy and Bon Appétit! read more

I would give this -5 stars if I could... This has been the WORST dining experience I've had in a very long time. Reasons why: quality of food, portion size and price, poor service, and wait time. Let's start with the food. The food was horrible for everyone in my party and we got three different things. I'm not sure why this place has such a good rating. Olive Garden has better Italian food so that says a lot. The best dish at this place was the bread they give out (so we were hopeful for our long awaited meal). I received my $26 ravioli meal for it to come out with only 6 raviolis--the quantity is not mention on their menu. IF they were delicious, that price would've been fine but the food had hardly any flavor. I've been to nicer Italian restaurants with much better portions and quality food for the price. The portions, prices, and quality of food do NOT line up. The food served to the rest of my table had such little flavor, my friends added the tomatoes that came with the bread to it. TWO shrimps per pasta came with the shrimp Alfredo. Now about the service: horrible. The only nice person was the gentlemen serving bread and refilling water. Our waiter seemed pained to serve us. When I asked about the ravioli size after seeing the dish, he didn't seem concerned at all about my concern, rather bothered I had even ask. He was very stuck up and rude and didn't check in on our experience after we received our food. He didn't ask us if we liked our meal when we asked for the check so no opportunity to even mention how bad it all was unless we wanted to cause a scene and bring it up ourselves. I've worked in the service industry and that is NOT how you treat clients. The wait time was also abnormally long for how bad the food tasted! The restaurant wasn't extremely full either. Overall, the worse Italian restaurant I've been to in Miami. Don't waste your time or money. Go to Alaine's Osteria (a little further south), Cheesecake Factory or EVEN Olive Garden over this place. read more

The parking is 10 dollars for some reason. When you enter this place, it's cold!! I am confused about the architecture. It gets worse. The food is bland and expensive.

If you want to be in an igloo, eat terrible pasta and experience strange service - this is the place for you. People writing good reviews here have never tasted real pasta. read more

Good ambiance great atmosphere. Great value on appetizers n drinks to start. A Risotto appetizer really good and yummy. Good Martini of the drink list. My Parpadella pasta w short rib was awesome . Soft short rib good sauce wow with sone good cream sauce. My wife ordered the lamb w blueberry sauce. It was somewhat rare but good for me. The risotto it brought was amazing so good . I mean perfect. Good chocolate dessert Pannacota was good just wish i had a little bit more.. next time we get our own dessert fun experience with service a bit slow but a worth the wait! The owners were cery attentive and even gave us a risotto on the house . That was amazing wlso w veggies in it the first Risotto was champagne my favorite! Thanks to them for that! read more

Ernie is the man! He's passionate about what he does and reflects that in the quality of service and food. Rosemary was a sweetheart and great with us! Tony, Ugo and Ernie's daughter made sure we had all that we needed to have a wonderful experience. We will certainly be back to try the calamari and dessert. The shrimp nuggets were delicious as was the bread and bruschetta. The tuna tostones were delicious but I believe it needed more tuna or a smaller tostones. The lobster ravioli was amazing and the seafood risotto was superb! Looking forward to going back to support this amazing and warm establishment. It felt like family in there. Loved it! read more

Please make reservations for this hidden Italian gem in the Gables! It's literally a Hidden Gem, what with its speakeasyish entrance in the back behind LeJuene. Where you will have a little wait even with a reservation, but it is worth it. They do have an 18% automatic gratuity, which I matched. Service was that attentive! I went with their Miami Spice menu, and didn't notice any problems. Portion size was price appropriate and very flavorful. Since it was a full house the owner /manager comped me some fluffy warm bread and tart tomatoes while I waited for my sharp buffalo meatball and creamy polenta appetizer. Dressed up with some marinara, it was a tasty lead in to my chicken parmesn (very tasty and rich). Unlike Italian chain restaurants, the sides were a creamy risotto and crisp veggies. A cool and fluffy nutella panna cotta closed out my eats and I was ready for a night out elsewhere. Though the facade is off Leajeune, the entrance has a nice speakeasyish vibe on the block behind (btw my bartender was nice enough to remind me to enter the back entrance as my address for UberLyft.) The manager was involved in service, going around to each of the guests. Cool chardonnay kept me thru dinner, and a delicious sweet port closed my night out. For those of us dining solo, there are a couple TVs by the bar (and you might run into a few other single solo diners too ;) read more

Caffe Vialetto is ultimately my favorite restaurant globally. I've been coming consistently for about 6 years and recommend this gem to anyone who finds themselves in the Coral Gables area. I have brought countless people to try the food and every single one is in agreement of just how delicious this Cuban/Italian restaurant is. It is definitely not traditional, but if you're willing to try something new, this place is a must! From their champagne risotto to various stuffed pastas, I have yet to be dissatisfied in the 6 years I have been coming to Caffe Vialetto. My top recommendations: Pear Ravioli - this is a MUST, even if you just order by the piece to try it. This is on the sweeter side but by far my favorite thing on the menu. The Gnocchi is a close second, was my favorite for the longest time but to be honest the quality has lagged behind the Pear Ravioli recently. The first time i tried the gnocchi was a transformative experience, I have never had anything like it. It truly melted in my mouth and was so soft and delicious. The sauces they pair with their pastas are amazing! Pumpkin Mango Soup - this special isn't year round so if it's there when you go, you have to get it! I also love the croquetas. read more

I know this place is a staple in the Coral Gables community but I was extremely disappointed in my last visit two Sundays ago. This place not only was not welcoming to people. But the food was unflavored and very expensive for what it is. I was very disappointed to find out that most of their pasta dishes were more than $25. Even the ravioli which I understand is an art form in the pasta community only serves six small pieces and a bucket of plain sauce. My friends and I were appalled by how little food we got for the amount that we're paying for. I've been to a ton of Italian restaurants all throughout the United States and I have not once paid $28for a dish when it ended up so unsatisfying and makes me want to warn people to never come here. I'm not sure if management changed it, or the pandemic has changed the quality of the food here, but there is some thing is up. read more

As a FBI (full-blooded Italian), I can be a bit picky regarding Italian food. Caffe Vialetto challenged my elitist attitude with their Cuban twist on the Italian classics! This place is as Miami as a restaurant could possibly be. It's old school cool. The servers are super attentive and know exactly what's in their food. I have allergies, and our server was very accommodating. My group shared a few plates, which is the absolute best way to try this place out. You'd be doing yourself a disservice to only try one entree. Give this place a try with a group of friends. There will be garlic. There will be pasta. There will be guava! read more

Cafe Vialetto never disappoints. I've been coming here for years and is very consistent with quality food and good service. Portions are big and prices are moderate. It is good to make reservations whenever possible because this place gets packed. It is a mixed crowd from older family type to business like or dating scene. We ordered a salmon sashimi and it was nice and refreshing as a starter. For main courses kids had their half portion pasta dishes which were cooked perfectly. One was an Alfredo sauce and the other one was tomato sauce. Very light and fresh. Also ordered the short rib risotto (this you have to try) it was excellent, creamy with thin, shreded fried potato strips on top. Yummy! Also the Hog snapper special was incredible.... light and cooked to perfection. Vialetto is always a good choice! read more

I had a friend tell me about the risotto of this restaurant so me being a risotto fanatic I had to check it out. It is literally on the corner of bird road. Parking is just one block east and you have to pay to valet because there is a lot of construction going on and not a lot of parking available. You could park in Merrill Park and walk. I believe it was $6. They literally parking my car right in front of the valet stand. Once we entered we were greeted by the owner who sat us at the table. They have a good selection of wine and the bread and bruschetta that they bring out is made every morning. The bread was ok but the bruschetta was realllyy good. It filled me up quite a bit. I ordered the short rib risotto. With your entre you get your choice of a soup or Cesar salad. The soup that day was Malanga soup. It was pretty delicious. Once the risotto came out i asked for some more cheese on top. You can never have too much cheese. It was delicious. The portion is pretty large. I could only eat half of the plate. The service was a little more relaxed, so I wouldn't recommend coming here if you are in a rush. We had no time for desert. Over all, the food was very good, the service wasn't bad, the only thing I wasn't a fan of is the extra charge for the valet parking. Due to the location of this restaurant it is hard to find parking. But to pay money to park it in a spot i could have parked it I didn't think is fair. This would be a great place to take a date who likes Italian food. read more
