    Vanilla Meringue Cake
    Annie P.

    My husband and I both really enjoyed dining at Cipriani! A fine dining Italian restaurant with multiple locations worldwide, this particular location is in downtown Miami in Brickell. We had dinner reservations and were seated by the window with a beautiful view of the water with great natural lighting. We asked our server for suggestions and they were all a hit! To start, we had the cucumber salad (with sweet Corn, cherry tomatoes and avocado) which had NO scraps left behind. For our entrees, we had the risotto al nero di seppia (a type of fish), rigatoni alla bolognese, and pan seared dover sole which were ALL well prepared and devoured. The standout dish was definitely the risotto which was creamy and al dente. Last but not least, we had the vanilla meringue for dessert with a side of vanilla ice cream and that was the perfect end to our meal. The service was friendly and the ambiance was classy. We left our meal feeling satisfied and would definitely consider dining here (or any of their other locations) again!

    The veal Milanese had like no salt and was too thick. The tomato and cucumber salad was decent. The vanilla merengue cake is to die for. The bolognese with green pasta was pretty good too.

    Had a great time here. Food was great , service was impeccable and ambiance was Ofcourse good too. A special occasion restaurant in my opinion just because it's a bit pricey , however it was still a great time.

    Been here a few times while in Miami. The foods decent but you really come here to people watch and eat average food. With that out the way This past visit we had the Pappardelle bolognese, the Bucatini Amatriciana and the lamb chops. We also had a few cocktails and a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Food was good, wine was good, cocktails were average but people watching was entertaining.

    When you first walk in, amazing yacht like interior. 45 minute wait to be seated for reservation, so we enjoyed a drink at the bar. Dirty martini was amazing, had the best fresh olives with pits. if you like bolognese, there's is amazing. definitely feels European with the relaxed environment, definitely something to consider before, but perfect if you like to eat late. great experience and food! very moody and cozy interior.

    Dishes sat here until we received our check

    Was really excited to try this restaurant. We had a reservation and weren't seated until 50 minutes after. We obviously contemplated leaving but decided to stay which was our mistake. Once we were finally seated, the waiter only approached our table to take our order and hand us the check. No exaggeration. The empty dishes began to pile up on our table as we watched him tend to every other table but ours for some reason. Extremely disappointed by this restaurant.

    For any special occasion, you must come to Cipriani. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. We received unsurpassed white glove service from Mateo and the rest of the team. Some of the most darling humans I've met in the restaurant business. I have never felt more at home and more favored as a guest, this wasn't special treatment this is the culture at Cipriani. It's no wonder why this is a celebrity hot spot and fan favorite globally. Easily one of the most gorgeous interior designs with stunning views of Miami. Perfect for my mother's birthday. When we lightly mentioned preferring a waterfront table, Mateo ensured our party of 3 got the biggest and best one available even on a Saturday night. Simply unheard of for Miami restaurants especially of this caliber. Starting off with the freshest Bellinis, we knew everything that followed would be excellent. The pasta was unbelievable. The bucatini was my fave and the tagliatelle with lamb, a winner as well. Without debate, you must order BOTH the meringue cake and ice cream. No matter how full you are, they're equally legendary for a reason. Cipriani is a gem in the heart of Brickell. Forever grateful for the service we experienced and for the hospitality Mateo showed us during a special celebration.

    i arrived right at 9:55 for our 10 pm reservation. we checked in for our reservation and the hostess area was packed with people waiting, when we asked how long the wait was for our RESERVATION, one of the girls said "soon", we are sitting here an hour later waiting to be seated. we had to order drinks to calm ourselves down. they gave us zucchini fries. i have asked her twice when our table would be ready and she keeps saying "soon" so i keep asking for a timeframe and she genuinely could not give me one. they were both clearly not happy on their phones not giving a f*ck we are the only asians in the restaurant (everyone else who was sat before us was not asian) to try and make it better they offerred a round of drinks. we dont want a round of drinks we want to be sat at a table for our reservation that was an hour ago. they just sat us down and the waiter just said "i dont mean to rush you but the kitchen is closing so i have to put ur order in" (@ 11:03 pm)i would walk up and leave if i could. they just sat another another party at 11:19 so im assuming the kitchen isnt closed..... or theyre just sitting to get drinks..? its 11:32 and we still have NOT received our food and no one has checked in on us. yeah this is the worst restaurant ive been to period. they include a service charge already (typical but definitely not deserved or worth it here) i used to work in hospitality and this is not how you treat your customers. this is actually embarrassing for a friday night in miami. since moving to miami, this has been the worst experience ever. i will not be coming back. so unfortunate since i am a fan of the nyc locations. do NOT recommend wasting time and money here.

    Cucumber Salad

    Best food, hospitality, ambience, service, EVRYTING! The meringue cake is delish as always, pasta is perfectly al dente, and portions are not overwhelming or too skimpy.

    Maks T.

    Oustanding as always. They maintain consistency every time we go. Iconic ambiance, semi-authentic staff and great food. Had parmigiana di melanzane, cuore di carciofo, carpaccio, vitello tonnato, cacio e pepe, ossobuco milanese c/ risotto giallo, bellini, millefoglie, gelato. Amazing

    This is not just a regular review for me because before Pane e Vino took residence here, this use…read moreto be a bakery that I visited very often. It holds so much nostalgia for me. It was a bakery for many, many years, even after I left Miami Beach, when I'd come visit, I made sure to get a pastelito de carne with an orange juice and then one day; the bakery was gone and Pane e Vino was here in its place. As illogical as it may be, I held resentment towards Pane e Vino because of this. I'd grumble and scowl when I'd walk by until one day I saw a man making fresh pasta at the window. Yes, this piqued my interest. I then looked at the menu, and I saw a lot of wonderful variety, but mostly that their pasta is made fresh so it occurred to me that in this instance perhaps one legendary establishment can become another one in this place, and I decided I needed to give this restaurant a chance. I have some friends who join me often when I go to Miami Beach and so we ordered a bunch of dishes to share. I'm really glad we had our waitress Pilar steer us in the right direction. I love truffle anything and she highly recommended the truffle arancini. I'm soooo glad we got it, and that was probably one of my favorite things to eat ever. I have never had such creamy polenta in my life. the truffle and cheese in this was enough to almost bring me to tears. This is how great food is done. Even the salad and the simple dressing was amazing, really fresh and delicious. We tried three different pasta dishes, but my favorite without a doubt was the lamb ragu. This dish was everything. The lamb was so tender and flavorful. You know that lamb will sometimes have a gamey flavor? Not this dish. My second favorite pasta dish was the truffle ravioli. It's not like a truffle infused oil or salt they used, its actual shaved truffle, so delicious. The bread, the good quality olive oil, everything was fantastic. Even though my beloved bakery belongs to the past; in its place is now another magnificent establishment that I will look forward to visiting whenever I'm in Miami Beach.

    An opulent failed attempt at fine dining…read more At first glance, the place is impressive -- beautiful cars outside, constant traffic of guests walking in, crisp white tablecloths setting the stage for what appears to be a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the illusion fades rather quickly. The first sign of trouble arrives with the server sporting a rather impressive lip piercing, followed closely by a colleague whose diamond nose stud could probably be seen from space. Not exactly the ambiance one expects when aiming for "elegant." Despite the abundance of servers floating around the dining room, none seem to notice when your knife dramatically dives off the table and lands on the floor -- where it enjoys a long, lonely stay. Water service is also quite innovative: they simply leave the entire bottle at the table, which seems less about generosity and more about avoiding the inconvenience of returning to refill your glass. The food? Sadly just as uninspired. From the octopus to the $68 Milanese, every dish managed the impressive feat of being completely flavorless. The Milanese arrived with a beautiful crust, which raised hopes... until you realized there was no sauce, no garnish, and nothing to rescue what turned out to be a remarkably bland plate. Meanwhile, the staff appears deeply committed to minimizing effort -- though not shy about judging you directly when the tip doesn't meet their expectations. All in all, this place feels like fine dining in costume. Perhaps a return to the basics of hospitality and service would be a good start... followed by a serious conversation with whoever is currently in the kitchen. Good luck to anyone brave enough to give it a try.

THE FOOD The food itself wasn't the problem- the value was. Charging nearly $200 for a 2.5-pound lobster and serving what appeared to be no more than 10 ounces of meat is unacceptable. I've ordered lobster countless times, and this was nowhere close to what should come from a lobster of that size. It honestly felt like a bait-and-switch. At Carbone's prices and reputation, I expected transparency and quality, not to leave wondering if I had just paid hundreds of dollars for an empty shell. It completely overshadowed the rest of the meal and left a terrible impression. THE SERVICE Our wait staff was excellent- friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. When I raised my concern about the lobster, however, there wasn't a meaningful solution offered. The manager did bring out complimentary meatballs and two slices of cake, which was appreciated, but it didn't address the actual issue. I requested the veal entrée (about $125) as a gesture of goodwill, but that request was denied. I left feeling that my concerns were acknowledged but not truly resolved. THE VIBE The ambiance is everything you'd expect from Carbone- stylish, energetic, and full of old-school charm. It's a beautiful restaurant with a lively atmosphere, making it a great place for a special occasion. Ultimately, the atmosphere and attentive wait staff weren't enough to make up for what felt like poor value and an unsatisfactory resolution to a legitimate concern. At this level of dining, guests should leave feeling impressed--not questioning whether they received what they paid for. Our total bill was close to $1000. UNACCEPTABLE.
