Spent a week in Miami and went to restaurants like Mila, Sparrow and Mandolin, and Casadonna was the best food. A couple of my favorites were the gem Caesar salad and the lobster malfadine pasta. The interiors and ambiance were stunning. Angelo was our server and he had a great personality and impeccable service. read more

Casadonna - Gem Caesar Salad and calamari fritti - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

One of the newest and most anticipated restaurants in Miami exceeded my expectations. The lemonade is a great cocktail to start off with , and you won't be disappointed with the tuna tartar for a starter. I went with with tbe black seafood pasta and Bolognese for Main course and they were both delightful, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors. However, the true star of the show was the dessert, artfully presented on a lemon tree from Italy. After dinner we went to check out the patio area and i can say the outside vibes were fantastic, offering a beautiful setting, while the interior boasted stunning decor the outside vibes is where it's at. Overall, Casadonna is a must-visit for a delightful culinary experience in Miami. read more

The Miami Spice menu here is really a bang for your buck. Everything was delicious, from the starter to dessert. My favorite dish was the Rigatoni, followed by the oysters which were 10/10. Overall, everything was tasty and very reasonably priced. Def coming back here to try the regular menu soon. read more

Ventured to Casadonna for their hyped-up brunch on launch weekend, and let's just say it was an epic letdown. $120 (with gratuity) per person for a prix-fixe disaster. Slow service was the overture - 30 minutes for a waiter to take an order? Seriously? Shared starters were an absolute joke. Two pieces of tuna crudo and four slices of focaccia for three people? The taste of the starters left much to be desired. Cesar salad and roasted beets were the most basic ones, which you could cook yourself. The whipped ricotta and culata di Parma were good enough but still not impressive, like any charcuterie board. BUT it took them about an hour to serve the starters; we were waiting for each dish for an insane amount of time, and it was impossible even to catch a waiter's attention. Filet Mignon was the sole savior when it came to entrees. The meat was delicious and very tender, with the proper doneness, and I think that was the only decent option to justify the price of the brunch with its starters. Campanelle Bolognese, a forgettable filler. On the menu, it says Chef's Selection of Desserts. The dessert drama began with us spotting another table with the chocolate-wrapped dessert we craved. The waiter said that they didn't have chocolate dessert during brunch, so I thought maybe other guests ordered it from the dinner menu. So they brought us a Nutella donut, pistachio cream puffs, and cookies. Pistachio profiteroles brought some redemption with lots of delicate vanilla and pistachio custard cream. The donut wasn't fresh enough; the dough was like it was prepared yesterday. And OMG, THE COOKIES were a culinary crime. I couldn't even imagine that the restaurant could serve store-bought cookies. Hello, is it Walmart? Here comes the fun part. I saw another table having the chocolate dessert we asked about. We showed it to the waiter, and he said that he was confused and thought that I was asking about another chocolate dessert. He apologized and brought the dessert that I asked for, which was banana tiramisu. Wait, there's more! A check with four mystery cocktails, totaling $80, that weren't ours! A check-up later revealed they belonged to the prior guests, but somehow ended up on our bill. The whole serving of brunch took an unbelievable amount of time--2 hours--and left us beyond dissatisfied and questioning the $400 left at Casadonna. 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. Mid food that's overpriced. Great for pictures and "vibes" read more

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

Poor service, low quality food. A place to be seen, not to eat well. Never again. Stay away

The girls and I wanted to try a place we hadn't been yet before Miami spice ends and decided on Casadonna. The ambiance and vibes were the perfect setting for a nice girls night out. Our server Alex was so bubbly and dope. He suggested menu items and replaced anything that wasn't right. I loved the burrata with the peaches. It was such a great balance of flavors. I just hated that it didn't come with any type of bread as a burrata usually does. My filet was pretty good also. It was cooked a bit under medium temperature as I asked for however. The confit potatoes also good. And the chocolate ricotta cake was chefs kiss! I'll definitely be back soon. We enjoyed the overall experience. read more

Highlights: * 5 for Ambience, especially sitting outside, Bayfront, on a beautiful day * 5 for service, professional, friendly, polite, well trained * 4.5 for food, not Michelin fancy but "elegant comfort" Italian with a twist to cater to Americans and locals * 4 for wine list, only 6 champagnes by the bottle, big focus on Italy but nothing unique or special, average markup just under 3 times retail * Valet parking $20 This is a review for brunch on Sunday today, $95 ++ pp, served plated. You arrive at Casadonna, housed in the historic Women's Club, a Mediterranean Revival building on the bay, also home to Klaw upstairs. You enter into a courtyard reception area with a large bar and retractible roof. The next room is the inside Loggia Main Dining Room, good for when it's too hot or rainy to sit outside, but you want to take a table outside by the bay on a nice day. The price fixe brunch, $95++ is served, and you will not leave hungry, most likely with some take out bags. The starters are served family style, whipped ricotta toast fig focaccia, Caesar Salad, Culata De Parma, which is similar to Prosciutto de Parma, Roasted beets with goat cheese, Tuna Crudo in citrus and watermelon and some marinated artichokes and olives. The crudo was our favorite, all were good. You choose your entree from a large selection of choices. I had the Campanelle Bolognese with whipped ricotta. These were homemade, delicious little bell tower shaped pastas that were delivered al dente as requested in a hearty rich bolognese sauce. It was a winner. My partner had the King Salmon with leeks, pine nuts and gremolata, I did not try, but said it was good. The two brunch desserts were chef choice. My partner preferred the Banana Tiramisu in a chocolate wrap. We also had something like an Italian donut filled with Nutella and some roasted haselnuts. There are a number of up charge "impress your date" items available such as smoked salmon pizettes for an additional $35, Salt baked Bronzino for an additional $225, 42 ounce Bistec Fiorentino for an additional $300 or various caviar add ons and a seafood platter for $150 extra. Service was very leisurely, about two hours, with a lot of time between plates, if you're in a hurry, not for you, but why be in a hurry for a weekend brunch. There is a DJ who plays a nice vibe at a comfortable sound level. This section is for oenophiles: The Italy focused wine list has about 17 wines by the glass, nothing special, Proseccos starting at $16, Ramey RRV Chardonnay $24, Silvio Nardi Brunello $40 (bottle retails for about $50 in a store), Tenuta S.G. Guildalberto $30 by the glass. This would be a great setting for Champagne, I'm not sure why there were only six bottle choices on the wine list, 4 bruts, 2 roses, and some Proseccos, starting at $150 for Moet Chandon Imperial ($60 retail) to $675 for Dom Perignon ($250 retail). Tignanello sells here for $450 vs $165 retail or an Antinori Chianti Classico Badia a Pasignano will cost you $140 here or $40 at Total Wine. There are not many bottles under $120. Corkage is allowed if the wine is not represented on the list, you'll have to double check but it may be $50. read more

Cold / old disappointing food. Waiting over an hour when you have a reservation is trashy. Good place for pictures. The bathroom is really nice. read more

What a beautiful property! You definitely feel sexy the moment you step foot in this restaurant. The walk-in is classic and beautifully done and the outdoor dining area is HUGE and just lovely. I went in the evening and the weather was perfect, it was packed but felt calm and serene somehow. The food was really good, however I wasn't so impressed with the tuna carpaccio. There was nothing to it. It wasn't bad just not anything to get excited about. However the Mushroom caponata was a fan favorite and so was our lemon dessert. It was definitely lemony but had depth to it that I cannot explain. I highly recommend! read more

Yep this place is definitely worth the hype. From the views to the quality of cocktails and food to the really friendly staff, the experience at casadonna was well worth the hard reservation to get here. It felt so suave and just really fun paired with amazing food. The tuna tar tar with caviar was definitely an app I will be getting everytime I come here. read more

Casadonna - CAESAR SALAD TUNA TARTARE - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

We had a birthday dinner there last night for a large group, 18, and we had the Miami Spice menu with wine pairing. The food was excellent and the service was good, great considering the usual inefficiency of serving a large group. And the setting, on a comfortable, balmy August night under a giant gazebo with ancient trees on Biscayne Bay was pretty special. My partner and I ordered differently so we could taste other dishes. For appetizers the oysters were fresh and cold and served with a pungent mignonette. The frita mista was very nice with shrimp, calamari and delicate discs of zucchini. The filet was tender and accurately cooked, and delicious, but the corn camalette pasta was sublime, delicate and delicious and one of the best pasta dishes in Miami. Dessert was either a chocolate budino which folks seemed to gobble up or a peach almond frangipane tarte which was very nice. read more

Recommend for drinks! Great bar in front of restaurant with an amazing lady bartender that taught us so much about tequila & made incredible spicy drinks & express martinis. And the bar outside in back is gorgeous. The service for dinner was great. The food was good but not out of this world. We had the artichokes, ceasar salad, octopus, sea bass, and the Campanella pasta which was the best of all the food. The disappointing part was the dessert menu. Nothing looked liked wow I have to try this so we didn't. Our options were some lemon dessert (yes the pictures are pretty), a hazelnut dessert, biscotti, and sorbets mehhh. I would definitely go back for drinks outside! read more

Casadonna has a beautiful old vintage but luxurious ambiance. The outdoor seating is my favorite as it is along the beach. It has a retro, classy upscale vibe. I tried the Miami spice menu and was pleasantly surprised. The tuna tartar with caviar was an up charge but very well worth it. It was fresh, tasty and the saltiness of the caviar complimented the dish. The diver scallops for an entree was a great choice. The scallops were thick, tender and flavorful. The pasta for the entree is pretty small portion. It may not make you feel satisfied. The dessert options were great. The service was phenomenal and the restaurant is beautiful. As the restaurant can be a bit pricey, Miami spice is a great option to try some of their dishes read more

I had this restaurant on my list for quite sometime and waited for the Miami Spice promotion. Went with some friends on Wednesday night. The Miami Spice menu looked good and there were many options. That is why we decided to go. We were three people, so we ordered three different appetizers: calamari, tuna and ceviche. The three of them were really good but very disappointed in the size of the portions. Same with the main dishes. I ordered the scallops and literally only two scallops were in my plate. Really? By the time I finished my dinner which cost $65 I was still hungry. I heard this restaurant is also overpriced for brunch time. It is one of those restaurants that has a great vibe and view. Food was good, no doubt, but the positions again very, very disappointed. Not sure I will return to eat. We also ordered drinks and they were so so. Nothing impressive. read more

Very unique spot in town, unlike any other-total Miami vibe- warm, energetic and glitzy.

We had a lovely anniversary dinner here. It's a beautiful restaurant with great service. The food was good, but I can't say it was one of the best pasta or fish we had but they were yummy and flavorful. The drinks inside the restaurant were nicely done, we had some after dinner drinks outside and they were not as good. For appetizers we had the focaccia again very good but is extra and the burrata plate was really worthy with different flavors in it. For dessert we had the chocolate super sweet after a few bites it was too much. I will return if the occasion arrives or for brunch outside must be lovely. read more

The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL! Very girly and perfect for all girl brunches. Our waiter, Raymond, was not the best. He gave us attitude and made it feel like we were a bother to him.

The food was yummy, no complaints there! read more

Casadonna - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

went here for my birthday dinner. The weather wasn't very favorable because it was freezing so being seated outside was not ideal even with heaters it was still quite cold. Next time I would definitely like to sit inside. The entire property is beautiful and inside it's very trendy and cozy. The bar waiting area in the front also has a vibe and on the weekend nights. They have a DJ not too loud perfect for a girls night out or a date. It used to be the women's club and they've really turned it into a nice upscale restaurant. The food was delicious. We opted for the salted Bronzino. It was a little bit salty but still delicious. The caviar was great and the oysters were on point. They have a very nice wine selection and the drinks are good, but can be quite strong so be careful what you order. The service was good. The weight staff was attentive and it was nice to see security available. The uniforms at the Staffware are also very nice which complements the atmosphere. Definitely recommend for a day or a girls night out. 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

The only good thing about this restaurant was the atmosphere and aesthetic. We had unacceptable service for what was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. We had a brunch reservation for an outdoor patio table. When making the reservation, we specified it was for a special occasion, noting my boyfriend's birthday on the reservation. My family arrived an hour early to check in for our reserved outdoor table, and wanted to enjoy a drink at the bar while they waited. After claiming they were out of ingredients to make a mojito, the bartender disappeared for over 30 minutes taking my family member's credit card. The bartender did not return it to him until about 45 minutes later, well into our actual brunch after we had already left the bar, despite requesting the check multiple times prior. If that was the only hiccup in our experience, we would have brushed it off but it only went downhill from here. At the time of our reservation, we were told there are no outside tables available despite having made this reservation weeks in advance, checking in early, and being reassured they were "working on it". The hostesses refused to prioritize us for the next available outdoor table, and insisted to seat us inside. They stuffed us in a table in a back corner, far from any water view, and claimed it was a "beautiful booth" with a view that faced a door to the kitchen. We respectfully brought our concerns to the manager who acted unapologetic but said "he would make an adjustment to the bill", which was never reflected on the final cost. At no point did anyone recognize my boyfriend for his birthday, including the manager, after our discussion. The food was mediocre at best and certainly not worth the headache of the service received. For a brunch that costs about $125 per person before any alcohol, I expected fantastic service and exquisite food, both which Casadonna extremely lacked. The food, the staff, and the service left a sour taste in our mouths. With such a vibrant food and brunch scene in Miami, there are countless other restaurants better suited to give you a "brunch like no other" that was entirely falsely advertised here. read more

Beautifully decorated restaurant in an old building (former Miami Women's Club) with gorgeous water views, excellent focaccia, craft cocktails, and all the usual favorite menu items. This combined Groot Hospitality and Tao Group Hospitality concept made sure all the popular food items made it to the menu: grilled octopus, tuna carpaccio, caesar salad, mediterranean branzino, lamb chops, etc. seem to be on every menu in Miami, as of late . While you won't see anything creative on this menu, we tried the Dover Scallops, the Chicken Diavolo, and the (campanelle) Bolognese, and they were all hits at our table . I hear brunch is the next move! 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

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

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

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

Went to CasaDonna last night (Wednesday), and what a spectacular experience from start to finish. It is truly one of the most beautiful waterfront restaurants in Miami - the kind of place that immediately sets the tone for a special evening. The live jazz group created the perfect ambiance, and the combination of great music, stunning views, and impeccable service made the night feel magical. Dining outdoors in their gorgeous setting was unforgettable. Casa Donna is an absolute gem in Miami. A place where atmosphere, service, and cruise all shine. Can't wait to return. read more

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

Casadonna - Tomahawk steak - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

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
