Based on the previous reviews, we were expecting more from this Italian restaurant. The food was ok, same with the service. Decor was interesting and eye catching. The waiter started by trying to sell us the focaccia (aka bread basket), which felt odd. The wine list was a bit confusing as not all the wines available by the glass are listed as available by the bottle. The velvet booth style seating was comfortable. Finally, a service charge was added, though we were only three people, and the waiter didn't mention it. Not sure if I would dine here again. read more

Donna Mare is in the Cadillac hotel which is part of Marriott chain. Stayed here for the week. Had the breakfast every morning and first night dinner here. I'd give the dinner experience 5 stars. Had a great waiter who took a good care of us. I got a bottle of wine from the room so we shared at the dinner table I had salmon and coworkers enjoyed the pasta. All were super delicious. Breakfast was the same every day. Services were on or off depending on who you get. We were joking that till the day we departed, we finally figured out what the breakfast voucher truly covers. One thing we all agreed was the various fresh cut fruits were truly awesome. read more

I love when a hotel has a great restaurant. Although we didn't stay at the Cadillac we visited their restaurant for dinner. This is a beautiful, romantic space and we didn't even need a reservation on a Sunday night. They are open until 10:30 PM on Sundays which was also great. I had a glass of the Kiki and Juan orange wine which is a not too tart white. My fiancé has the Dolce & Banana, tasty and strong. We shared an appetizer and we both had delicious pasta entres. I was glancing at what other guests were eating and it all looked great. The servers were attentive and took the time to answer questions and offer suggestions. For dessert we shared the key lime pie. I like my key lime a little more tart but we still finished it in under 5 min. The restaurant is able to accommodate large parties. They seated a party of 14 next to us, thankfully we were finishing our meal as they arrived. It's a sexy space where most guests are dressed for a night out but there were still guests with children. read more

So here's the scoop. They gotta have somebody Italian back in the kitchen or overseeing every plate cuz the food is very Italian. Like clean, high end delicious fresh pasta, but also salads and big portion apps. Love that you can get half portion pasta. Pizzas were just fire. Simple, Italian tomatoes or somethin cuz this was no Miami or even US type meal. Felt very European even down to the long wait for anyone to take our order. Ha. But once someone came they were super gracious and nice. Just need to be more attentive. But this is a place you can and want to eat every night. And great atmos. read more

Very delicious spot. I wish I had taken a picture of the mortadella pizza because it was to die for. The pasta tasted homemade and the tiramisu was perfect! I didn't love the bolognese sauce, but I didn't hate it. It was just ok. We had a baby with us and the server was super accommodating and let us stay and catch up for some time. The hotel is gorgeous, as is the restaurant. read more

While staying at the Cadillac Hotel, we enjoyed Donna Mare. We first visited for happy hour and delighted in Prosecco and hummus with crispy chickpeas and fluffy pita. Service was fantastic. Our second visit was for the Continental breakfast. Fresh-squeezed oj, croissants, fresh papaya and pineapple, oatmeal and chia pudding were outstanding. Our coffee was presented in a carafe and was piping hot. The dining room is classy with white tablecloths and velvet furnishings. Service was only a greeting and we were presented with a 20% service charge! I was surprised to find this a common practice in Miami. read more

The food not only looked perfect, it tasted amazing. The bartender put specific attention into each individual drink working towards perfection. Don't sleep on the Ciclista for an app. I wish I would have used the crust for the alla vodka sauce but ate too much to start. read more

Donna Mare - That's Amaro - Pizza Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

One of the best Vongole I've ever had. Visited this restaurant as my hotel gave me $50 credit to eat and I am glad I did. I wouldn't have minded paying my own money out of pocket. Credit to Paola who recommended the menus. Vongole pasta was done al dente as I preferred. No sand in the clams. And the best part was the sauce. It had combination of rich clam seafood soup/spicy mushroom/cheese type of broth which added nice kicks to traditional vongole. It would be really hard to replicate the sauce at home. Key lime pie really finished the deal with tangy lime and sweet meringue instead of heavy whip cream. I felt less guilty about getting a dessert. I thought that was a great idea. read more

Andy was amazing! Everyone's food came out hot and perfect. The chicken Parmesan is huge! The steak was cooked to perfection and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the focaccia with whipped ricotta. Thanks for the Limoncello! It was a great way to welcome us to Miami. read more

What a great experience. We planned on only staying for a quick cocktail and snack before going to our room and ended up staying much longer because the experience was so enjoyable. Paola, the bartender, so so friendly and personable. Also she has to be one of the best bartenders in Miami Beach. We had Aperol Spritz, espresso martinis and an old fashion in addition to a few glasses of wine. I highly recommend this place and we are going back tonight because Paola mentioned a DJ on Thursday. If you are in the Miami Beach area you must try this spot and ask for Paola!!! read more

Probably one of the best experiences we had in Miami, the food it's amazing, the taste it's so good and makes you feel like you're in Italy. From the appetizers to the dessert... the tiramisu... Service is attentive not perfect but acceptable. The ambience is cozy very nice and the music doesn't overwhelm the guests and the conversation with the guests. read more

Phenomenal restaurant!! Starting with the service from George our server to them making you feel so welcomed and treat you like family. Staying in the hotel of Cadillac we have dined here 2 times since in the hotel. We even brought a guest to have this experience with us. The Executive chef Luigi even came out to speak to us as we told him he has an amazing restaurant and food was spectacular. Made to perfection. Then the Manager came to greet us as we shared her staff has been so amazing. We spent 4 hours just dining relaxing and enjoying the night. There was never a rush with anything. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want hand made pasta to order and phenomenal service. read more

We were pleasantly surprised! We stayed at the Cadillac and ate here twice. This is definitely the best thing this hotel has going for it as the hotel staff is a complete disaster. Make sure u keep the chef because everything we ate was excellent! Being a new restaurant there was not many yelp reviews so we were hesitant. My only complaint was how long it took to get the food but maybe it just took that much time for perfection. Filet was excellent make sure to pair w the mushroom Marsala. Prosciutto and mushroom pastas was also outstanding. Don't sleep on this place the food was amazing!!! read more

Food was fantastic and not overly pricey. Service was excellent. Are here 2 nights. Had the clams with pasta superb.

Picture this, I sat down calmly to eat my breakfast and relax, but partway through my meal, a skinny male employee with hazel eyes approached me in a hostile and aggressive manner. He loudly and rudely accused me of not having breakfast included, despite the fact that I had already verified everything with four different staff members, including the manager at the front desk. I explained this to him and remained respectful, but his attitude was unacceptable, confrontational, and completely unprofessional. What made this worse is that after I returned to the table to retrieve my room key, I saw that it had been taken. This same employee had taken the key and placed it inside his jacket pocket without my permission. When I asked for it back, he casually pulled it out of his jacket and handed it to me, showing a complete disregard for my personal property and privacy. I felt targeted, and disrespected. The manager told me it was a "misunderstanding," but the employee's actions went far beyond that. His behavior could easily be perceived as discriminatory and threatening, and it made me feel unsafe in a space where I'm staying. I wouldn't recommend that restaurant to a cockroach, the roach deserves better. Just DoorDash your breakfast it's cheaper and more convenient. read more

Donna Mare - Pizza Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

the service was great. our waitress was very attentive. we ordered margarita pizza, spicy rig, bolognese, fettuccine alfredo, caesar salad, and branzino. the pizza was good (if you like soft crust) and the pastas were ok. nothing to write home about. the branzino was also ok. there was a TON of pesto on it, so that was very overwhelming. we went with our toddler and they were very kind about the mess he made. the restaurant is right before the pool in this hotel so depending on where you sit you can see and hear guests going to the pool read more

I'm still dreaming of the Tuna Carpaccio and the Mortadella pizza. Some of my favorite two dishes in all of Miami Beach! Love this place.

Paola was amazing and so attentive to us. We were visiting for vacation and loved the food and experience.

Food was great as always, but the server was very unprofessional, my fiancé tried to pay for something since I paid for our trip to Miami Beach, well, when she tried to pay her credit card got declined due to outstanding auths for rental car, and the server came back and basically announced to the restaurant that her card was declined, will never come back here, very disrespectful to every degree. Will not recommend to anyone either if this is their protocol. read more

Stayed at the Cadillac and found Donna Mare to be a perfect cap to a long day. Sat at the bar where the tender could not have been more perfectly attentive. He also crafted a top notch cocktail that prepped me perfectly for the exquisite chicken parm to follow. Accompanied with a side of spaghetti and sauce I of course consumed beyond reasonable but oh what a feast! read more

We were staying at the Cadillac Hotel which this restaurant was in. We were hungry, it was convenient, and 481 5 star reviews gave us confidence it would be good. We dined there on Monday evening to celebrate our Anniversary. The restaurant was empty but for a few people at the bar (it was Monday). We decided to sit at the bar for dinner. Paola was our bar tender and server. First the food.... Did not disappoint. Food was amazing. I had the Italian burger... freaking delicious. So good I am going back for seconds tonight. My husband had the Spicy Rigatoni Al A Vodka. It was equally impressive. We also had a few of their signature drinks. Noteworthy was the Dolce & Banana. The star of the show though was our server Paola and the reason we are going back tonight. So personable and she took great care of us. She was amazing. Put this place on you list of must try restaurants in Mid Beach read more

Incredible new experience, the new menu and style of the restaurant is the perfect fit in the Cadillac hotel. The chicken parm is incredible. The service is also on par. read more
