    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
    Jenny H.

    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.

The empanadas were baked to perfection. Crispy on the outside, flavorful, and you can tell they're made fresh that same day. For my main entrée, I ordered the skirt steak, and WOW. Not only was it perfectly seasoned, but you can truly tell they know how to select quality cuts of meat. Our waiter was also incredible and took the time to walk us through the menu, explain the dishes, and make sure we knew exactly what to order. That personal touch really made the experience even better! Everything about this place gave me a little taste of home, and I absolutely loved it!

The food was fantastic as always, and the sangria was delicious and tasted genuinely authentic. A special shoutout to our waiter, Eduardo, who was wonderful. He and my dad instantly bonded over being Costa Rican, and it made the experience feel even more welcoming and personal. The only disappointment was dessert. The pavlova sounded much more exciting than it actually was. It was overwhelmingly sweet, and everything on the plate (the vanilla ice cream, vanilla pavlova, and vanilla whipped cream) had nearly the same flavor, color, and texture. It ended up feeling very one-note and lacked the contrast and freshness that makes a great pavlova memorable. Overall, I'll keep coming back again and again. The food is excellent, the service is warm, and it's just as perfect for watching a match as it is for a great meal. Skip the pavlova, but absolutely don't skip this place.

The hostess was very sweet & offered us counter seating, but it was literally right next to the entrance where everyone was standing trying to get out of the hot sun. Definitely not the birthday brekkie vibe I was after. And the parking situation? Diabolical. If I ever go back, I'm taking a Lyft. Once we got back to the car, I started thinking of somewhere close, delicious & that we could hopefully get into before 10:30, when most Miamians start making their way into the streets & every breakfast spot gets overrun. THREEFOLD CAFE! Hadn't been in a while & it was my dad's first time. We drove the 5min distance, parked in the ample, inexpensive garage & walked over. It was busy, but luckily we were seated right away by the lovely Ali (hey fellow Leo queen!), who got us started with drinks. Then my fave waitress Monica came over with her usual charisma & warmth. We had such a great time sipping their very good red wine sangrias & eating a delicious breakfast, including the absolutely to-die-for Don't Be a Lemon Tart French Toast. All in all, the loveliest, most perfect place & way to spend my birthday morning with my dad. Absolutely need to come by more often. Fantastic, consistent spot!

I love that they're served with aioli, which is so much better than ketchup. The corvina used for the fish and chips tastes very fresh, and is nicely garnished with dill. The fried chicken burger is incredibly good, with a huge juicy chunk of chicken thigh coated with a thick layer of batter, fried until very crunchy and a beautiful dark golden colour, and topped with a large slice of tomato that soaks through the bread. The interior is lovely and the staff are so nice. You can even go sit there and work.

    I love Chug's diner. Everything about what this restaurant delivers, feels like a hug to me…read more I've been a fan since Chug's 1.0 but this review is specifically for my recent visit where I tried one of their new specialty coffee drinks. The Chug's iced cafe con leche kept a number one spot of my favorite iced coffee in Miami for many years, and I think this weekend their new Coconut Vanilla Latte with cold foam has secured the number one spot in my iced latte roster. I take my iced latte choice seriously, as it is one of my favorite treats. This one was absolutely perfect. So good, in fact, that I ordered two! I also ordered the harina con huevo for breakfast. Now, there is something about harina con huevo that takes me back to childhood and reminds me of my mom, so this dish is pure nostalgia for me and it is delish. You can't really go wrong with Chug's. Since it opened, you won't ever find a breakfast time where it isn't busy. That's because they are doing something write - serving up good food and coffee, and if you're lucky tapping into moments of nostalgia for many of us born and raised Miami kids. In a city that is ever changing and growing, repping OG Miami is always appreciated by me. Oh and, their offering of 99 cent martinis throughout the week is also fire.

They also have a martini deal, from Wednesday to Sunday 6-7pm. We had a sizable group, the restaurant has been super accommodating with the arrangement as well, and our server was very attentive. We shared the cast iron pancake as a group and had individual orders as well. I definitely ordered with my eyes with the lechon hash and duck croquetas before even diving into the pancake. I especially loved the croquetas, not a huge fan for the hash but that's a personal thing not liking potatoes that much. I was able to take in a bite of the pancake, which was very fluffy, the syrup was surprisingly not too sweet. I've tried their shaken espresso and a cortadito, both have been great. Strong, not too sweet, perfect for a humid summer day. I think that's the biggest surprise for me, I thought Cuban sweets would be much sweeter. My group has also raved about the breakfast sandwich and harino con huevo (especially if you're vegetarian).

Ambiance outside and inside were just the best. I never visited the restrooms, but according to some in my party, they were beautiful and clean. My (and my party) only complaint was that there should be a control of barking dogs or even dogs inside the restaurant. Someone from your restaurant should have said something to them. We were outside with a group of 6 adults, Only to hear for about 40 minutes the bark, bark, barking of a dog. Dog and Owner were just behind us and owners kept saying to the "shut up" to the dog several times. Dog kept barking. Very loud, and very annoying. I would say that it was annoying to several other patrons as well, but, of course, no one said a word. If a dog cannot behave, they do not belong there. And, I do love dogs. On another note, the barking of the dog, as well as, the very loud music. Much louder than it should have been - for background music. Our whole party, including 2 teenagers, were not happy. It's pretty disgusting not to hear anyone's conversation - on a Sunday morning. I spoke to the waitress about the music. She said she would "TELL THEM" Inside. Nothing happened. Shame on you and waitress. WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING SUCH LOUD MUSIC. I AM NOT THAT OLD THAT I can't appreciate music, but the loudness was a bit too much.

It comes with several homemade bagels and enough salmon and accoutrements for several people to indulge. It's a steep price, but fun for a special brunch! The ambiance? Well, it's fabulous, of course. And surprisingly offers a good deal of shade outside- though later in the summer you might find me inside. We enjoyed chatting as well as watching all of the interesting characters walking around Coconut Grove and dining around us. And our server was a DELIGHT!
