Tried this place last night and it was delicious! Had the chicken masala but there was a variety of other plates ordered in the table. We also ordered a variety of apps, wine, dessert, and coffee and everyone was satisfied with their meals. We were a table of 11, so it was nice that they accommodated us accordingly, and routinely checked up on us to see if everything was going okay. The restaurant is nice, its casual and lively. Theres both indoor and outdoor seating which can be nice this time of year in Miami. Theres a parking garage right next to the restaurant that only cost us 2 dollars every hour so it was a bargain! Overall this restaurant is a must try if you like italian food. I was only able to take a picture of the chicken masala but you will have to take my word for it, everything was delicious! read more

First time back in years! We live about an hour away and were super excited to return for pasta. The service has always been excellent, and the food never disappoints. The restaurant is extremely quiet and clean. Here's what we had: - **BURRATA PANZANELLA**: Different from what they served before, but it was very light and fresh. The flavor was good. - **SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA**: Cooked to perfection. The pasta was al dente, the sauce was tasty with a hint of spice, and the portion was perfect. I would definitely add burrata to it next time. - **BUCATINI AMATRICIANA**: Very spicy with great flavors, but a bit too much fat. - **CRAB SPAGHETTINI**: Tasty with a good amount of crab. Parking was extremely easy. We parked in the garage and walked over. Rodrigo was a fantastic server. Highly recommend! ! read more

Very good meal. Started out with arancini and burata panzanella. The arancini was nicely fried and the marinara was very good. The burata was also good, but it was a tad too strong on the balsamic. The main course I went with the short rib ravioli. It was good but extremely rich. The taleggio cheese and alfredo sauce overpowered the short rib so it was a little hard to distinguish it. My wife ordered the parpadelle bolognese. That was the best dish of the night. Small restaurant with a homey feel and nice staff. read more

My first meal at Casa Isola was delightful. Service was incredibly attentive and friendly. I loved the taste of the seafood pasta special with red sauce and the crab spaghetti. They had a wide, diverse menu which included classic Italian dishes as well as interesting fusion creations. The ambiance was bright with ample natural lighting. I'd definitely go back and recommend to anyone seeking a delicious, unpretentious Italian-inspired meal. read more

Try going during happy hour to get a little discount and try multiple items. I highly recommend their spicy vodka rigatoni and most off all their polenta...makes my mouth water just thinking about the creamy dish. All the dishes we tried were spectacular, with lots of attention to detail and the flavor super on point. The place is tiny inside but has outside seating which is probably your best bet. read more

This restaurant is FANTASTIC! We cannot wait to return and experience their delicious dishes. Let's start with the service! The staff went above and beyond to explain the menu to us and what were the must try dishes. The ambiance of the restaurant is small and cozy with a Mediterranean feel. We started with a few appetizers which were delicious, we shared everything which I recommend for a large group. The cesar salad was creamy, flavorful and delicious. The way the burrata was presented was something we never tried before. It was a balsamic vinaigrette loaded with flavors and veggies! This is a MUST try! The pastas which were to good to take pictures of were out of this world. We tried the spicy rigatoni, the pesto with red sauce, the pumpkin ravioli and the eggplant parm. I am salivating as I write this, just do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant. read more

Casarecce pasta and vodka rigatoni are the dishes that I highly recommend here. Last time I visited I also ordered a focaccia which was really bad.It tasted dry and stale,it wasn't freshly made. Also we tried bucatini alla tartufo which was big disappointment.For 36$ I was expecting more,but this was basically a lame cacio e pepe. The portion was tiny comparing to the other pasta dishes,you can't taste any truffles here,and the dish was overall was very dry.So you should definitely skip this one. In general this is a good place to get some fresh pasta but they should do some menu improvements. read more

Service and food were outstanding! I really liked how personal the experience was. We were greeted by Josue, the floor manager and he gave us a few recommendations. Our server Rodrigo was very attentive and also guided us through the menu. We had the Tuna Crudo, meatball dumplings, spicy rigatoni, and the crab spaghetti. Everything was tasty but the crab spaghetti takes first place. We were told they had a new dessert menu. Rodrigo recommended the Asian Mango dessert: it was light, creative and not too sweet. read more

This eatery is a gem in the Sunset Harbor neighborhood, across Miami Beach from all the hubbub of the beach/Ocean Drive scene. It has a nice small urban terrace where you can enjoy its fresh pasta (some of the sauces are made from the recipes of the chef's Grandma), as well as some fish and meat offerings. Recently we had a tasty octopus appetizer followed by two tasty pastas and a chocolate caramel pannacota. If you'd like to sit outside, be sure to make a reservation, especially in the winter. read more

Delicious Miami Spice Menu with huge portions! We went with a group for restaurant month and with the five of us we had so much food! Unfortunately The wine selection was limited for an Italian spot. We finished our first bottle shortly after appetizers and the server left us without wine for the beginning of our meal. Other than the wine everything was exceptional. The meatballs tasted like my Nonna made them from scratch. The arancini balls were out of this world. The red sauce oh my goodness! Fresh Caesar salad and hot bread. For my meal I had the vodka sauce pasta and it was spicy but very tasty. My friends enjoyed their chicken Marsala. The cannolis for dessert were just ok but the tiramisu was to die for! read more

I love this place. Beautiful restaurant in Miami Beach, small and cute for a nice date. I've been here twice and enjoyed both times thoroughly. We came for Miami spice $45 for an appetizer, entree and dessert. Arancini & calamari were both tasty and decent portions. The rigatoni alla vodka was the star of the show, huge portion and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend had the ravioli and it was great as well, though a smaller portion. My only regret is they don't have many drinks to choose from, but overall great. Thank you! read more

We went to celebrate our anniversary! Was in the mood for Italian food and very happy we chose this restaurant. It's on a great location away from all the craziness of south beach. Everything we had was delicious. Service was also great, very attentive. We will definitely go back again. Pictures with descriptions - all choices were great! read more

A small cozy Italian restaurant in south beach. Has outdoor seating but given it was raining, the seating was limited to inside. Maybe 7-8 tables seating 30-40 people. Menu is simple and limited. Portions are relatively small. We had the linguini, arancini, burrata salad, broccoli rabe, ravioli... everything tasted great. The osta is a bit spicy. Eggplant Parmesan was Ina a small bowl. The best tasting food was most likely the burrata salad. Service was great although no one is Italian except for the chef who wasn't there today :) read more

Molto bene Chef Mendin and team, Casa Isola is absolutely delicious. Located in the OG Pubbelly spot in Sunset Harbor the space has been transformed to look like a totally welcoming European eatery. I can't believe it took me this long to stop by, but I am so happy that I did! To start, we had the ARANCINI, PANE AL PROSCIUTTO, MILANESA CARPACCIO and Polenta. Everything was fantastic, and the carpaccio was especially impressive but my heart felt something special with that polenta. I feel like polenta is so under-appreciated, my mom used to make it all the time. When done correctly it just hits like a big hug and that's what this one did. Bravo. On to the pastas. Honestly, based on the smiling faces in the restaurant it seems you can't really order wrong here but we did the following and I def recommended ordering at least one or all of these dishes: +Sunday Sauce: this is a hefty order of pasta with 8 hour sauce and a giant meatball. GET IT. +Veal Chop Parm: wow. Huge, delicious portion. +Rigatoni: no, its #notcarbone but why go there when you can have this. This was my favorite because I am a huge sucker for all things Calabrian chili. And to finish off the meal, we had a serving of their Parmesan cheesecake. I am not a huge desserts person and I loved this dessert. Shout out to the team for throwing a candle in there for my bday! TLDR: Head to Casa Isola, come hungry, and leave more than well fed. Thank you all for the hospitality. Can't wait to come back! I'd suggest making a reservation since it seems to be a super popular and beloved Sunset Harbor spot. read more

I sat all fresco on a beautiful March night and the patio area is so cute and makes you feel like you're back in Europe. Amazing service. I was taken care of by Jose who was so warm, attentive, and inviting from the moment I walked in the door. I had the calamari which was fresh and light and yummy (only place I've had better is Issa bellas which is incredibly tough to beat). But what stole the show was the short rib ravioli. OUT OF THIS WORLD. The cream sauce is so incredibly decadent and rich. I took one bite and my eyes rolled to the back of my head-- it was that effing good. The raviolis are extremely meaty/ they don't skimp on the filling so you feel like you're getting your moneys worth. I finished with the parm cheesecake. I always love it when cheesecake is made from unexpected flavors/cheeses. It was delicious (and I actually remembered to take a pic for once! It came with some cute mini biscotti on the side. So glad I finally came and can't wait to come back. read more

Overall not impressed by this restaurant that I've heard so many good things about. The service was below average. We ordered a bottle of wine and had to flag the waiter down to refill our glasses as they kept the bottle in an ice bucket away from the table. Also, the waiter did not know dishes on the menu without dairy- he recommended a few so I chose one and he came back saying there's butter in it. The only thing without dairy on the menu was the calamari, which was done very well (salty, crispy, not fishy), but both sauces it came with had dairy too. I asked if they could just do pasta with a pomodoro/tomato sauce and they did which was nice but I did have to push for it (and not that good- store bought pasta with rao's sauce would be better). They were not accommodating off the bat. My mom ordered the eggplant parm that came in a baked clay pot. She said it was amazing but definitely needed a side with it like pasta or bread. The ambiance was fairly casual. We sad outside which was nice but pubelly sushi is right next door, the two restaurants almost meld into each other. If I could eat more things on the menu I would probably return as it had an interesting Spanish/Asian/Italian fusion thing going on. read more

Chef Santo and Chef Mendin have done it again. This time partnering together to bring sunset harbour in Miami Beach an authentic modern Italian eatery. Located inside the original Pubbelly space, the ambiance is vibrant yet romantic. A group of 4 of us dined in on grand opening night. Only Santo and Mendin can have a spectacular opening night like the one we experienced. Daniel took our orders and made sure we had a 5 star experience. We followed all of his recommendations and could not have been more satisfied. Antipasti: we started with the tuna crudo and pane al prosciutto. Full of flavor and carefully selected ingredients. Drinks: cocktails are not your typical Miami prices which was a pleasant surprise, our faves were the aperol spritz and the Negroni. Main attraction: Santo's specialty the "Sunday Sauce" is an absolute MUST. Large enough for two, this dish was by far one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Living up to its hype. A pasta dish combined with all the meats- short rib, pork rib, and Italian sausage with an 8 hour red sauce. Life changing. The highlight of the evening....chef mendin personally shaving black truffle at our table. If you're lucky enough make sure to order the ravioli bianconeri. Exceptional in every standard. Cannot wait to return! read more

Another pretty much solid italian restaurant on the beach. I like the fact that you can sit inside or outside and on cooler days, the doors are open so it's basically the outside is an extension of the inside. The food was very good and the portions were just right. Quality over quantity. Prices are acceptable and I found service to be good but I would like to see it a bit more attentive. Eggplant parmigana was very good and the short rib was as well. The tiramisu is an interpretation and was also very, very good. I recommend reservations at all time as the restaurant is not very large. Walked in happy, left happy and make sure that you park in the public lot to save yourself looking for a spot. read more

I can only attest to the food at this location as I have never been in person. However I routinely order their spicy Rigatoni and it never fails to impress me. It is one of the most tasty Miami Beach Italian dishes. Definitely the best pasta dish in sunset Harbor! This is routinely in my top 2 go to Italian delivery spots. read more

Interesting Italian/Asian fusion spot. Good food, good service, nice sitting outside in cooler weather.

The Rigatoni Alla Vodka here is MIND BLOWING! I absolutely love all of the food here, but especially that dish. The happy here is also amazing. Half off drinks (aka $5 aperol spritz and $12 bites! Super cute and good vibe in the space as well. I know I'll be coming here often for the pasta! It's simply delish and I've heard it's better than some high profile pasta spots around town! read more

Okay. This place is MUST GO. Coming from NY with the best Italian food, this is by far the best Italian food my husband and I have EVER had. We went during happy hour, so appetizers were $10. I highly recommend getting as many appetizers, so you could try everything. I promise you nothing will disappoint. We ordered the baked clams, polenta, Arancini. For the main course we ordered the Sunday sauce and veal. The veal was absolute PERFECTION. The sauce- AMAZING. You will want to lick the plate after. Our waiter was amazing (we forgot his name but he was the bald guy). We listened to all of his recommendations and he was spot on. He made the experience fun and very enjoyable.

WOW absolutely loved this place. The décor was so cozy and welcoming and the staff was incredibly nice! To start we had mini arancini's and the tuna crudo. Both dishes were perfection. I'm not a huge fan of tuna but our waitress recommended it and I'm so glad she did. The tuna was extremely fresh and the basil pesto compliments this dish so well. I of course had to try the rigatoni alla vodka as my main dish- SO GOOD! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very tasty. Had a little bit of a kick but not too spicy. So happy I found this spot! Can't wait to return read more

Miami Spice 2021: I've been wanting to visit this place since it opened earlier this year and there was no better time to visir than for Miami Spice (ok may happy hour is a close second ). I had one of the best rigatoni alla vodka I've ever tried here! The rigatoni seemed to be made as half the size of regular rigatoni I've tried (same large pasta but cut in half). It made the perfect bite sized pieces. The sauce was slightly spicy and very flavorful. To start, we ordered the mushroom polenta and the octopus. The mushroom polenta was incredibly juicy, and made when a ton of butter (thats a good thing ). I didnt think the octopus would match up but it did! The outer edges of the octopus legs were the perfect level of cripsy and the pickled cauliflower was the perfect accompaniment. For dessert, we tried both the panna cotta and the tiramisu. The panna cotta was some of the best I've tried. The actual panna cotta was on the sweeter side from others I've tried, to be that was delicious. While the panna cotta was great, the tiramisu in a jar was amazing! Topped with coffee whipped cream and sprinkled with chocolate crisps. When you dug into the layers, you were greated with a creamy chocolate pudding that paired so well with the top layers. Very well made! One thing to note, they do not have a liquor license, but they do a decent job of creating cocktails from prosecco and other liqueurs. Just something to keep in mind in case you were looking to get a cocktail with dinner vs wine. read more

What a charming place and the rigatoni alla vodka deserves all the hype (needless to say we ordered it and yum). We were thinking of ordering la travola charcuterie board, but were advised it was rather big for two people so we settled for the burrata panzanella and the octopus and although both were delicious, the burrata was our favorite. The portions were generous and the attention was excellent. We had such a great time, so I am very thankful for the staff. The wine is good too, can't have pasta without it. We went on a date and it was pretty lively, but we sat by the bar which allowed for conversation. I would recommend this place for happy hour, dining out with friends and coworkers, keep in mind that it is an Osteria and the vibe is very much like one. Tables are pretty close to each other, so the noise level if you want to have a private conversation may not be the most desirable, but it was this vibe we loved the most. The decoration is beautiful and so it's the ambiance. We will certainly return. read more
