The ambiance is lovely. Very pretty and historical building houses this restaurant. The decor is nice and the lighting and location make this a very romantic spot. Something happens as it gets later and the two bars overflow. It starts to appear more like a nightclub with long lines out the door to both enter or even use the restroom The food was good and pricey It's important to mention that your stay (at least at the table) is limited to 1 hour and 45 minutes Parking is 20 dollars if you want your car parked off premises or 80 if it is parked in the restaurant's parking lot read more

Had dinner at Casadona with a friend, and we shared the steak, risotto, and broccolini. The risotto paired with the steak was absolutely superb--rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The ambiance was nice, and the service was solid. I haven't been to their brunch, but based on what I've heard, I don't feel like I'm missing much. Overall, a good spot for dinner, especially if you're craving a well-prepared steak. read more

I came here for some drinks, and I was very disappointed. While the space is very beautiful, overlooking the water, the service is terrible. Maybe it's the fact that we were seated in a different area for drinks, but regardless, the service should be equal in both areas. The drinks we had were good, but I had to call three different servers over to ask for someone to help us. I know they weren't shortstaffed either because servers were just waiting around and standing. In the end, no one ever helped us, so we just went straight to the bar.  I also wanted to order an appetizer, so I asked one of the managers in a white blazer if I could see the menu, and he said the kitchen was closed. I explained that I've been trying to order just drinks for 20 minutes, and that's why I wasn't able to order food, let alone drinks. It sounded like he didn't hear anything I said because he didn't apologize for lack of acknowledgment and just said I could order drinks from the table I was at, which I understood, but no one had come to ask for my order.  I later asked a waiter if the kitchen was closed because I kept seeing food come out, and he said no and asked if I wanted to order food.  I was not the only person to complain about my experience, unfortunately. The woman sitting across from me also had to ask four different servers because she was that thirsty. You shouldn't have to call 4 servers for a basic necessity. read more

Casadonna - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Hi, so the hostesses are overwhelmed and need help getting people seated when there were many seats availabe. We waited a while in the front and had espresso martinis which were good.The ambiance is amazing. I loved the food everything was well seasoned and flavorful. I didnt enjoy the doppio pasta which arrived cold. I loved the tuna carpaccio. read more

I came here for a valentines dinner and the inside was so cute! I think you definitely pay for the vibe but the food was great as well. We shared the Caesar salad and focaccia (both were soooo yummy!), campanelle and a chocolate dessert. The waiters were super attentive and were quick to refill your wine glass. Definitely worth the experience! read more

We came here for a birthday dinner. The place is beautiful and the food was great. We weren't able to be seated with only one person missing in our party which was quite odd. We definitely would have had more drinks and probably spent more. The service took a while once we were sat to order drinks. After that, the service was good. It was very dark at the table we were at which wasn't under the structure in the back, so wish we had more light to see the food and menus. I don't know that it is worth the price, so probably just went for the one time. read more

So. I feel that I need to give them another chance, but not only did we wait over an hour past our 8:30pm reservation, we had food delivered that looked like it had been microwaved. Granted they took the food back and allowed us to reorder, but for these prices a dish should look fresh, not that it had been reheated or sitting underneath a heat lamp. I wish my pictures turned out better, but it was nearly 10pm and I was embarrassed to use a flash. Wine were very small pours. Chicken was tough. Dont believe the hype. And youll find a bunch of influencers/tiktokers taking photos of each other at the bar, enterance at the tables. read more

The restaurant itself is so aesthetic and huge! Entry way had a nice bar to order drinks while waiting for our table, and the waterfront views in the back lounge were gorgeous! The details in the restaurant were nothing but pleasing to the eye. Food wise - this was a 6/10, I was a huge fan of the tuna tartare and the lemon dessert but other than that the entrees were subpar. Drinks were strong and delicious! Service was not the greatest, our server was not attentive and we didn't feel super welcome. I would say - this place is great for the vibes but not for the food. read more

Terrible experience all around. Food and service were awful. The only highlights were the beautiful design of the restaurant and our drinks. We arrived about 15 minutes for our reservation (10 PM on a Tuesday). Wasn't expecting it to be busy but to my surprise the bar area/entrance was pretty packed. We checked in and they asked us to wait in the bar area and they would grab us. We just dined at swan the night before and it was a similar procedure so we were okay with this. We went to the bar to order drinks in the meantime. This place hasn't been open for long so it was surprising to hear they already revamped their menus. We ordered two signature drinks from the cocktail menu and the bartender started to make them, but then had to pause and ask the other bartender to how to finish them. He seemed unsure as well so they asked the mixologist? who seemed to oversee the bar. This was the first sign that things were off. We proceeded to grab a seat in this bar/waiting area as we waited to be called. It seemed like everyone kind of had an exasperated look at they waited. I took note of who was there before us as I was expecting them to be called before us. More and more time pass and we finally decide to go up to check our reservation. This was about an hour after our original check in time and 45 minutes after our scheduled reservation time. The hostesses looked at each other and were surprised so I could tell someone fumbled the ball here. Later after checking my email I received an email stating that my reservation was canceled so I'm assuming they thought we left and just marked us as canceled. Considering there's a cancellation fee per person this needs to be reviewed. We finally get seated and we're greeted by our waiter. He was actually super friendly. We went off his recommendations and like I said in the initial part of the review they were all terrible, but we don't blame him as our neighbors food also looked bad. (The focaccia which I considered ordering looked like a pound cake). We got the tuna tartare and octopus to start. The tartare was played beautifully, but the taste was terrible. They had tuna on top of what tasted like a cold marina sauce, then topped the tuna with cream cheese? Not crème fraîche. Then topped with more flavorless caviar? It was a terrible combination. The octopus was also over a spread of marina sauce which again just didn't compliment it and the sauce did not taste good. For our entree we had the walnut ravioli. Personally I thought it was okay, but my friend who I went with thought it tasted too much of artificial walnut flavoring. After an expensive disappointing meal we left quickly skipping out on dessert. Please save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

The food is Mid af you're basically paying for the experience or the "vibes" lol. Great place for pictures not that great of food. For the price of everything it doesn't really compare or match up to what you're actually getting. There's way better Italian restaurants if you want. Good food. So re cap.

Booked reservation on Resy, and it don't say anything about how food is not served until 6 PM. We came to our reservation at 5 and were then told that food was not served until 6. Their happy hour menu was short and what was on it was awful. Drinks and service were terrible. read more

What do you get from a review? We each write about our experiences. I was leary about Casadonna. Yes, it is pricey. Just start with that. However, my own experience was superlative all around. When we came in, all the people working greeted and welcomed us. The service that our group received was over the top, starting with turning down the loud music! Thais made recommendations, that's her job, and all was pretty good. She was attentive and fun. Our water and wine were regularly refilled, a sure sign of good service. The food was pretty good. The focaccia unlike any other I've eaten, very tasty. The wagu carpaccio with truffles was good. I found the tuna tartare too processed and mushy, My favorite was the amberjack crudo, sweet and delicious. The pasta campanelle or bolognese in other words was good. I did not taste the caesar salad, the organic greens were not only beautiful, but delicious. We shared the lamb chops and several other entrees. Very good. The potatos nice; I think the delicata squash was overcooked and its natural yummy flavor hidden. Dessert - first, they were gorgeous to look at, but we ate them. The first bite of the chocolate torte was so good, but then it got too sweet. The lemon desert should win a prize. I am glad to have had the opportunity to try Casadonna. I think it's a place to go is you have a special occasion or want to splurge. I hope your experiences there will be as good as mine. read more

Absolutely stunning restaurant, the ambiance is great, food is good, and so was the wine and martinis, desserts are the only thing I would say they need to work on, the presentation is beautiful but lacking flavor and textures. Service could be a bit more pleasant but not terrible, wait staff could use a bit more hospitality training, as certain points of the meal can come across as if you are being rushed but the space is romantic and unique. read more

Worth trying. Must try the brunch it seems like would be a good value. I would definitely recommend studying the menu before coming, the spaghetti Nero didn't disappoint but I would not order again and the star was the tuna tartare and candy shaped pasta special. A bit over-priced given the menu is not that creative. Came here for our anniversary and recent engagement but it seems more of a birthday place. We had seen reviews and were expecting to at least receive a "happy anniversary" written on our dessert plate after all we ordered. read more

The aesthetics here are 10/10. The interior design and music is such a vibe. The service was great and our server did a great job going over the menu with us and making recommendations from each section. We loved our drinks and food and have no complaints. Everything came out quick and tasteful. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The lumache was a pretty basic dish but had great flavor and even a little spice. We'll definitely be back to try some of the other dishes and desserts. read more

The service is terrible. I waited 90 minutes just to get my food complain to the manager about it. He didn't even care

So I had a 1:30pm reservation with my significant other, we got there at approx. 1:20. It wasn't until 2pm that we were seated. Once seated, there's was 8 tables in our section available... We waited about 20-25 minutes and a waiter never came. I finally flagged one down, asked for water and he said he'd be right over. Another 15 minutes and nothing. Finally I flagged down Angelo, the saving grace of this place. He attended us the rest of our visit and was a champ. The food was basic Cracker barrel buffet. Manager never passed by our table (or any for that matter). I gave it a 2 star only because of Angelo. Never going back for brunch again read more

Casadonna - The empty tables. We waited 40 minutes for no reason. - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Casadonna is the newest concept from Dave Grutman and Tao Hospitality so I was eager to try it out! Overall, the service and vibes were great. It's definitely a great spot to people watch while you enjoy dinner and drinks. It reminded me of Swan, Groot Hospitality's other restaurant in terms of the atmosphere. We sat indoors, but definitely think outdoor seating would be the move here. It's right on Biscayne Bay and the outside bar and lounge area looked so nice (we went out after dinner). The food was pretty good nothing CRAZY but I also was trying to eat healthy so I only got Branzino and burrata. The eggplant that comes with the Burrata was delicious - highly recommend! read more

I went to the grand opening and it was epic. The space is so beautifully curated. The fact that they kept the integrity of the 97 year old building is respectful to the history of Miami. As soon as you enter -- the atrio entry way is stunning. All the details and multiple rooms are so eye catching. I personally loved the outdoor lush patio. It give you the secret garden feel while still lavishing in the Miami lifestyle. They'll have live Dj's playing while you dine. The outdoor bar is also breathtaking. And the bay view is unbeatable. The cocktails are delicious. I personally like the Italian take on the margarita. If you come order the Sorrento Margarita made with Casa del Sol Blanco tequila, limoncello, citrus, and agave or a Bayshore Colada with Brugal 1888 rum, fernet branca, pineapple, coconut and orange. read more

Food was 10/10, service was 0/10. While we were still eating our appetizer the waiter's assistant came over and asked if he could prepare the table for our main course and I said "no we are still eating the appetizer" and then they still came and brought the main course. Then we finished eating and they basically said that if we weren't going to get dessert then they were going to bring the bill but we would have ordered more drinks. On my reservation confirmation it said the reservation was for 1 hour and 45 minutes and they basically kicked us out after 1 hour. Worst service I've seen in Miami after being here for 10 years. Would never go back. There are much better options here in Miami. read more

The decor is beautiful! Our waiter was so nice and very helpful. We had the Spaghetti Nero (with lobster, shrimp & clams ), Mediterranean Branzino, Grilled Broccolini and Chocolate Hazelnut Torte for Dessert. Everything was well seasoned and good. They have 1hr and 30min seat limit they have a beautiful out door seating area for drinks by the bar. If you having trouble doing reservations try to do it a month in advance!! For example if you book today look for reservations for December 14 etc . I would definitely recommend! read more

Casadonna - SHORT RIB PAPPARDELLE RIGATONI POMODORO - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

My wife and I got reservations for the Sunday night after the opening, and I always expect the service to have a few hiccups that soon after opening, but this was flawless. We started with drinks; my wife got an orange spritzer that was very refreshing, and I got the rosemary negroni. Despite not being a big rosemary fan, I really liked it, and would get it again. Everything on the menu sounded great, and we weren't sure how much to order, but the waiter was extremely helpful and guided us based on what we like. Unfortunately, I don't remember the actual names of each dish, but we started with the focaccia, wagyu carpaccio, and burrata. Then did the walnut cream pasta, and sea bass, with a side of potatoes. Dessert we had the lemon. I would recommend all of that, but I highly highly recommend the Sea Bass. It was cooked perfectly, with a crisp skin, and they pour a seafood sauce over it that was so damn good. The restaurant itself was absolutely amazing. Dave Grutman did an great job of keeping the historic feel of the building, but updating the necessities, like AC. The price was definitely reasonable, the total bill was about $350 with 2 drinks including tax and tip, and we left very full. read more

I'm a harsh critic, especially with Italian food in Miami since there's so much. This might be the best night I've had. I had a veal parmesan special with a vodka sauce and it's one of the best things I've tried. The ambiance and drinks were also great but the food WOW read more

Ordered the campanella bolognese and food was barely warm. Prices are exorbitant with service not matching the cost.

Ambience and service was amazing!!! Very sexy atmosphere totally Miami. Also the band and drinks were on point

This was my first time and I came for a brunch reservation. I was pretty disappointed with the quality of the service and the lackluster menu. The venue itself is stunning. The decor is lovely and the back patio is beautiful. Thank the lord that there are fans every where because it certainly allows for added comfort in the florida heat. Service was subpar. They forgot our caviar order and i felt i was always asking who ever i could find for a refill of my water. Drinks took forever and we could never really find our server. Brunch is a pre fixe menu which provides the guest with 1 of each appetizer and the choice of one entree as well as 1 of each dessert. I found the appetizers lacked creativity and were incredibly bland. Beet appetizer was just beets nothing more. The crudo was a standard crudo which was tasty but boring, it's like every other crudo in the city. Ricotta with figs was also bland. My entree, the steak & eggs, was soooo salty, it was a pillar of salt, yuck. my husband got the chicken, it was delicious, great jus. Other entree at the table was the Benedict and the person said they wouldn't order it again. Dessert also was boring and didn't really wow. This place is incredibly overpriced and a total disappointment. read more

After a long (2 month) reservation wait, we finally had dinner at the very sought after Casadonna. The 5 stars: the ambiance and service. By far one of the best decorated restaurants. From the bar/lounge to the main dinning area. Definitely a great vibe in there. Service was also great. Can't complain. Didn't feel like they were rushing us through our meal like other reviews mentioned. If anything, I felt like we took too long and never felt rushed. Food was 4 stars given the price tag. Desserts were amazing. Appetizers and entrees were very good as well, but don't think they measure up to the $ spent. read more

Casadonna - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Never. Coming. Back. You can see on my other reviews that I rarely give less than four stars. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst experiences that we have had at a restaurant. We're going to start off by sharing that we had reservations for 9 PM. We were all there by 9 PM. However, we didn't get seated until almost 2 hours later. 1 hr and 47 min later to be exact. The only reason we didn't leave was because we were there for a friends party and he really wanted to try this horrible restaurant out. And yes, we asked the hostess multiple times if the table was ready and for an hour and 47 minutes, I guess they were wiping down the table. I was expecting the cleanest table I've ever seen. The lobby bar area at the front of the restaurant where the hostess is was swamped. They had one bartender working their massive bar, which took over 30 minutes to get a drink. this area was also overfilled with people waiting and hanging out. One would think that they would have more than one bartender in this area. The lady bartender (tattoo on her arm) was I think the only helpful and nice person working in this place. Once we were finally seated, we had one of the worst servers I think I've ever had. He was super unhelpful, he seemed overworked and had a little bit of an attitude. Drinks took forever to arrive. Santiago seemed irritated by simple questions such as " do any of the pastas come without red sauce". Food: the only thing really good about this place was the food. Luckily you live in Miami and there's other places with food just as good. My favorite part was eating less than half of my pasta and having my waiter pick up my plate and throw my food out without asking me if I wanted to take more than half of my pasta back home. Oh, and HALF OUR FOOD WAS COLD!!!!! What a shame that a place that so much potential is such a disastrous place. They make you wait over an hour for reservations, the service is horrendous, and then they charge you an eye off your face. You would think that for these prices you would be getting good service at least. At the end, someone from our party filed complaint with a manager who could have cared less about all the valid concerns we had. Save your money. no one deserves to pay over $600 to be treated like shit. read more
