    Mozzarella Fritta
    Onesha L.

    Coppola's is a charming Italian restaurant with a very classy yet relaxing vibe and great food! Food: My partner and I both enjoyed our meals. We had the Mozzarella Fritta which was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly done and surprisingly not greasy like other fried cheese dishes. I had the Coppola allá Routa "experience" where they bring a cheese wheel to your table, mix and serve your pasta from the wheel. However, it wasn't much of an experience because the server did not come close enough to the table or engaged with us at all. So that was disappointing, but thankfully the dish tasted great! My partner had the chicken carbonara which he liked although there was a lot of excess grease for some reason. For desert we had the Mozzafiato which is the house special and it was well worth it! Definitely a dish that should be shared in a group but can be eaten by two people. Service: From entry to exit the service was incredible. Our servers checked in frequently, our food and drinks came quickly, and everyone was welcoming, friendly, and polite.

    While the food was good I wouldn't consider this to be authentic. For starters the music wasn't Italian. I get it your in Miami but if you're going to have live music at an Italian Restaurant it really should be Italian music not something Latin (stating Latin because I don't know if it was Cuban/Dominican/Mexican or some other Spanish speaking language etc but it definitely wasn't Italian). While the servers were good to start it got worse the longer we stayed. The severs while helpful didn't really speak enough English to help us understand things that we questioned on the menu. Now again, I get you're in Miami and English is truly the second language but dang it, as a restauranteur the least you good do if hire people that are bi-lingual. I get it you can't be everything to everyone but even in a Spanish speaking dominate place like Miami...English and Spanish should be the minimum. English is considered the International language of communication so meet that obligation. And finally that music...sit close to it at your own risk. The music was/is simply to loud for general table conversations. Maybe that works if you're having a bad date or don't want to talk. Anything short of those two things I'd say don't bother going. Oh btw the wine was good and priced well...had a bottle of Poggio de'Colli...it was a 2018 Toscana Cabernet Franc.

    Wanted to take my dad for an Italian lunch and this place had great reviews! We came in at like 3 pm on a Saturday and it was a very nice and spacious restaurant. All the tables are set up all fancy and what not. The restaurant wasn't busy (maybe 2 other tables) and the service was spot on. The hostess was very nice, explained that they were under new management and were trying to get the word out about the restaurant. Waiters were attentive, watching over making sure we had water always and everything we needed. Before we ordered we were given this delicious soup. I could have had like 4 bowls of it it was really good, not sure what was in it though. Funny enough I told my dad, "what if I was allergic to something in it?" I don't know, it was a nice and I personally loved it but I had no clue what it was lol I ordered the chicken Parmesan and it came with the side of pasta. It was all so delicious!!! The pasta was so flavorful and not like traditional pasta in red sauce, it was lighter. All in all, everything was great. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the portions. I wish they were bigger -- there were no leftovers!

    I celebrated a retirement dinner (party of 17) at Coppola and the evening (despite the rain) was perfect. The wine was flowing and every entree was delicious. Every guest raved about the service. I would definitely recommend Coppola. Thank you for a memorable evening.

    Calamari and zucchini

    Visited on a Monday night for my daughters birthday. The inside is very elegant. I love white tablecloths and sparkling glassware. They have it. I was a bit skeptical about this place because some of the negative reviews were pretty bad. However, I'm here to tell you that I and my party had a wonderful meal. The server was incredible; professional, knowledgeable and on the ball. I ordered the white sangria which other reviewers liked. They were right. It was a nice big glass full of liquid gold. Appetizer of calamari was standard fair but the added zucchini made it tastier (and healthier). My ossobuco with cheesy risotto was perfectly delicious and a HUGE portion. My daughter's short ribs were very tasty and although there was a slight mixup with her risotto they resolved it quickly. Skirt steak was like butter and perfectly seasoned. The chicken piccata was the only dish that I'm glad I didn't get. Although my husband had no complaints, the chicken breast was not thin enough IMO. Desert was a shared creen brûlée which was meh. Oh. And I'm case there is some confusion as I noted some of the reviews, they have a FULL bar. Highly recommend. And will surely return

    One of the worst experiences I've had in a long time. Every server that approached our table spoke to us in Spanish despite us clearly speaking in English. I understand we're in Miami and in Kendall, but not everyone speaks Spanish and it is an Italian restaurant. All of the servers were also making us extremely uncomfortable majority of our dining experience as they were whispering to one another in the corner while so obviously starting at us. Everything that we ordered was terrible. The calamari was basically just fried rings and the marinara did not have a good flavor. The antipasti w burrata was extremely disappointing- the burrata was hard and not creamy as it is supposed to be. My boyfriend and I ordered Marsala, mine with chicken and his veal. We specified 3 times for our side penne pasta to have red sauce and not the pesto it said it comes with. One of our 3 servers, Jackie, nodded her head and said yes it comes with marinara (despite what is says on the menu). My boyfriend even said it to her in Spanish to be sure she understood what we were saying. Once the food came, we mentioned to one of the servers that the penne pasta was supposed to have a red sauce. She called over Jackie and Jackie went on to say that this pasta on our plate was indeed tossed with the red sauce. You can see our photo attached that this is not the truth. She didn't acknowledge us, only the server and nobody fixed the issue. On top of this, the Marsala sauce was so sweet and pretty disgusting, unfortunately. I will never go back and would not recommend this place to anyone. Laura was the only decent/kind employee at this establishment. Horrible.

    So cuteee

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.

The steak tasted like a tire patch and the pasta was completely undercooked. The food prices are completely unjustified. They also force you to pay a 20% gratuity and then have the audacity to ask for an additional tip on the final bill. The bill for 3 of us was $550. We left disappointed with the food. Bread was delicious as was the cheese cake. Main courses were mediocre at best.
