    Seafood risotto (they were out of lobster and subbed for shrimp but gave almost no shrimp)
    Kelly K.

    This experience was disappointing. I had high expectations before coming and was completely let down. We had reservations for two but they took a while to seat us, so they had us wait at the bar (tiny and crowded) and brought us a complimentary bellini each for the wait. Once we sat, the atmosphere was nice, but I honestly expected more from an expensive restaurant in Miami. We got the carpaccio, and I'm sorry, but the presentation was pathetic. No garnish and just four slices of baguette. We then got the lobster risotto but they were out of lobster so they subbed it for shrimp and gave us practically no shrimp. And we still paid the same price! No discount or anything. Then, when we got the check, they charged us for the two bellinis! Ridiculous. The taste of the food was okay (not amazing), but there were too many negatives outside of that. I won't be back.

    Came here for a girl dinner - we all shared the tuna tartare and 2 cucumber salads which were delicious. Then my friend and I shared the steak which was a perfect medium rare, and French fries. The service was great, they split the steak up for us so we didn't have to. To drink I had an espresso martini and Bellini which were both great, the Bellini was a tad too sweet but i feel like that's a personal preference thing.

    Dinner was fantastic!! Service was great - yeah, a little slow, but honestly just right for the vibe The carpaccio and tartare are perfect For the main, go with the green pasta and ham The vanilla meringue cake is next level

    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 food did not have any flavor at all. The restaurant has a nice vibe but the food just did not live up to the hype. There was no presentation and it was very expensive. The veal has no lemon or capers. Just not impressed with this place at all!

    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.

    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.

    dirty martini, extra olive brine
    Catherine M.

    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
    Dalia C.

    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.

    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.

    THE BEST DATE-NIGHT ROMANTIC SPOT IN MIAMI…read more Pane y Vino is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right: charming, delicious, romantic, and completely unique. The décor has so much personality, and the entire experience feels wonderfully old-school--from the attentive service to the little details that make you feel genuinely taken care of. The owner is lively, charismatic, and absolutely charming, faithfully tending to her guests and making the whole room feel warm and personal. And then there's the food. The carpaccio was exceptional: paper-thin slices of fresh beef topped with delicately sliced mushrooms and a unique lemon crème that made the whole dish sing. The mussels were enormous, served in a spicy tomato broth so delicious you'll want to finish it with a spoon. Just when you think it can't get any better, dessert arrives. Homemade, gourmet, and prepared right at your table--and somehow it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. It's genuinely spectacular. The surprise hint of Nutella hidden beneath the delicate finger cookies takes it completely over the top. And if you love eggplant parmigiana, theirs is top of the line. The portions are hearty, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and experience, and the atmosphere is made for a romantic night out. One warning: make your reservation in advance. Pane y Vino gets packed, and once you experience it, you'll understand why.

Btw if you want your pasta to be served alongside your main protein choice tell your server and make sure he understands. Otherwise you will be eating it separately.

The menu is concise, to the point and mainly focused on traditional and/or comfort food in this case Italian. I can't believe I had it saved for so many years but today I got to experience some of the best food I've had in the city with the most remarkable service ever. This is a family owned restaurant and as a customer I felt as family too. Beto, the owner, makes you feel like part of his extended family from the moment you step foot in the joint and all throughout your culinary adventure. I hadn't made reservations and he made sure to find me a table for one even though it was super busy at the time. He also recommended a few dishes but ultimately convinced me to try one of the chef's specials which I've been talking about till this day. His staff is also very attentive and diligent. Having said that let me break down what I ate with a nice chilled glass of wine: Antipasto: Burratina...Fresh homemade burrata mozzarella on top of thin slices of prosciutto, basil and extra-virgin olive oil. Served with roasted red peppers and tomatoes. All fresh and with high quality ingredients without a doubt. I wanted something light before the pasta and this was very filling so I couldn't finish it but... Entre: Chef's special...Pappardelle Patagonia. Green flat homemade noodle with vodka sauce, Italian sausage, pancetta, mushrooms and fresh herbs. This was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life. Perfectly cooked "al dente" with a creamy vodka sauce that'd have you wanting to lick the damn plate. That Italian sausage was also so divine and they don't skimp on portions or ingredients. I'm glad Beto suggested this one instead of the Pappardelle Italian sausage. Dolci: cheesecake. I have no idea how I still had a little bit of room for dessert after that feast but this cheesecake was all worth it. Not overly sweet and very rich and velvety. This is arguably one of the best Italian joints in town. Just delicious Italian comfort food made with love and excellent service to got with it. Beto offered an espresso to end this extraordinary meal. He takes the time to go to every table and make sure customers are taken care of and that's what makes the difference. These are the type of restaurants that leave a lasting impression on their patrons and make them come back time after time.

After 1hr 15' (we stayed outside waiting, no drinks), we checked in and the hostess rudely told us that she can't foresee when people will leave. So we took our $350 check to Hillstones, where they value regulars. We have dined at Luca before and love their food, but seems like success has gotten to the hostess' heads. Restaurants, especially in Miami, succeed and survive from the loyal locals, not from tourists nor fads. Seems that Luca has forgotten that. We're happy to take our business elsewhere, even a chain restaurant who values repeat customers.
