Blueberry Gimlet
Daniel C.

Met up with some friends for happy hour here. I got a Blueberry Gimlet and the arancini, and both were excellent. I also tried my friend's fries and they were great too. The place itself was beautiful, in a really convenient location, not too busy, and easy to hold a conversation. Service was also impeccable. Absolutely love this place and will for sure be back.

Matcha with oat milk
Anabella V.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. Although is an Italian restaurant they have a breakfast corner and that's where I found myself trying their matcha latte, and it was really good. The Barista/server was a sweet girl very nice and approachable, so for that alone I was lucky. I'm going to try the restaurant next.

White Sangria

Such a beautiful and nice new restaurant in Coral Gables. I was here with a large group. Our server was Mia, and she was excellent. The service was top notch, and it felt very personable. The food was delicious as well. I had a white Sangria. I will say that while it was tasty, the alcohol was very light. I'd probably go with a different cocktail or just a glass of wine next time. (Idk why my picture of it is sort of blurry! I didn't notice it at the time). For my meal I actually just had the appetizer, Burrata Salad). It was perfect for what I was feeling at the time. There were lots of tomatoes, two large slices of bread, burrata, and prosciutto, and balsamic and pesto. My friend ordered it as well and requested olive oil to add to it, but I felt the flavor was good as it was. The people around me ordered pastas, and everyone loved their meals. Someone also ordered one of the pizzas and said it was good. The restaurant aesthetic itself was very sophisticated and beautiful. I'd love to go back and sit at the beautiful bar one of these days.

We finally found a pizza we were looking for.......

Wow and doble Wow. Wow. Wow. What an amazing gem of a place that just opened up in the last month. This is the sister/brother store of Bay 13 & ThreeFold in Coral Gables. The place is quaint with its low lighting and cool bar atmosphere. Ennio waited on us at the bar. He was so happy and professional. Kelly is one of the managers which I met at the other store fronts and had been promoting me to come her for weeks. My wife is a pizza snob and we ordered the margaritta. The dough was fresh and aged properly. The crust was thin and crispy with a soft center. The sauce was light sweet but not overpowering. The cheese was oh so satisfying. Wow and double wow. This is a must try.

Great new Italian restaurant in the Gables! Gia, the bartender, is the best! Parking is accessible in the Milam's (Cascade Building) Garage at only $4 flat rate. I would highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Pizza and the Meatballs! The menu is reasonably priced, and they offer happy hour 7 days a week from 4pm - 6pm with discounted drinks and food deals.

Bistecca with Fingerling Potatoes
George K.

My wife and I were looking for some good Italian food after a long day of adventuring. We found a few restaurants but zero'd in on Cucina Povera after seeing some great reviews on Google. When we arrived we were the very first customers of the night and had the restaurant to ourselves for quite some time. The location is right off of US1 but quiet and the restaurant had a very upscale dining feel. We were duly impressed by the wonderful service as well as the delicious dishes we had. The Bistecca has phenomenal quality but the flavor of the Beef Ravioli with Peppercorn sauce was unmatched. Will be coming back again soon!

Cappuccino and Omega avo... so good. Great service too. Thank you
Alex M.

Cucina Povera's cappuccino and avocado toast hit the spot! Rich espresso and velvety milk paired perfectly with the smashed avocado on sourdough bread. Cozy atmosphere and great service.

Last night, Giralda was packed, so we decided to walk a bit further and ended up at Terre del…read moreSapore on Aragon Street. I had heard of it before but had never tried it. The setting was actually really nice--quiet, cozy, with a good mix of families and friends. We sat outside and the overall vibe felt promising. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill pretty quickly. As soon as we sat, the waitress greeted us by saying the kitchen was closing at 10 and asked if we already knew what we wanted. It immediately felt rushed and not very welcoming. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which was good--slightly citrusy for my taste, but enjoyable. For food, I had the chicken Caesar salad and my husband ordered the seafood gluten-free pasta. My salad was disappointing--it had more croutons than chicken, which made it feel unbalanced and not worth the price. His pasta was even more underwhelming, with only three shrimp and a few clams. When we brought it up, the manager came over and explained that portions are measured by the restaurant, but offered to add more chicken and shrimp if we wanted. While I appreciate the offer, it felt like something that should have been corrected automatically, not something we had to ask for--especially considering these are full-priced entrées, not side dishes. Overall, the ambiance was nice, but the food and service didn't meet expectations. For the price point, I expected better portions and a more thoughtful response to feedback. Maybe pizza is a safer option here, but based on this experience, I wouldn't return.

We weren't greeted by a server for at least 15 minutes. Eventually our waiter came over with water, but he seemed rushed and uninterested from the start. Another 15 minutes passed before he took our drink order, and we ended up ordering everything at once because he was so quick to leave the table. No recommendations, no check-ins, and anytime we needed something we had to flag him down ourselves. As for the food, the Fiori Di Zucca Ripieni Di Caprino E Miele Al Tartufo were absolutely divine, easily one of the highlights of the night. The octopus was disappointing, chewy and lacking flavor. The pumpkin ravioli was just okay and I wish the sauce had been creamier. The Linguine Alle Vongole was very good, probably our favorite pasta besides the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe with truffles, which was hands down the best dish we ordered. The mushroom tagliatelle wasn't what we expected at all, the sauce was much thinner and waterier than anticipated. We ended up skipping dessert solely because the service left such a bad impression. Overall, while a few dishes stood out, the experience as a whole didn't feel worth returning for.

Well let me start by saying that my wife and I have travels the world and eaten in some great…read morerestaurants and we consider ourself foodies and Tullio is one of the best restaurants we have eaten in. The service was exceptional, the Resturant is quiet and the owner Sebsatio. Gave use great service. My wife started with the beat salad which was remarkable. The beats were soft and tasty. I started with an arugula with shave fennel salad very good but not as tasty as my wife's salad. Shen then had the filet which was perfectly cooked and had an incredible mushroom sauce. I had the linguine with clam sausage. Best I have ever had including numerous restaurants in Italy. For desert we split the tiramisu whose was tremendous although I think the lady fingers could have used a little more rum or liquor. Only minor issue was no vegetable with the filet but not a big issue. Overall I highly recommend this Resturant and will be back. Do not wait to go here since it is so so good.

While everything we ate was not bad, I felt this place was a little too overpriced for their food…read morequality. I've definitely had better Italian food. Their branzino and Cacio e pepe were good but not the best. However, their pistachio ice cream and tiramisu were worth every penny!!!! These are must-try items for sure! There are not that many restaurants that will make tiramisu table-side. We thought service wasn't that great either. Staff were friendly but weren't around when we needed them and forgot to bring what we asked for a few times.
