    When you're feeling all Cubaned out, it's a solid change of pace in South Beach for some nice fast casual Italian food, at least until you realize there's a service charge which feels a bit excessive for the type of quick service restaurant they are. They serve your classic pizzas and pastas, so naturally I got a sandwich, which was actually solidly portioned and packed plenty of flavor, with a great mix of pizza taste and prosciutto. It was good, but not nearly $20 after all the fees for what should have been around $15 type of good. Sticker shock is never fun. Solid food, but not quite the experience you would hope. TIP: Yeah just expect everything to be more expensive than you think.

    If you're looking for a casual, authentic Italian spot just steps from Lincoln Road, iT Italian Trattoria at 17th & Collins is a solid pick. The setup is relaxed and efficient--you walk up to the counter where you can browse all the freshly made dishes on display, place your order, and then head to your table with a buzzer that alerts you when your food is ready. We ordered one of their thin crust pizzas, which was baked fresh and delivered to the table hot and crispy. The flavor was great--simple, high-quality ingredients with that classic Italian touch. Easily enough for two people to share. I also got a regular salad, which was fresh and ready to go right away, so I brought it with me to my seat. There's a self-serve water station tucked in the back of the restaurant, which is convenient and appreciated on a hot Miami day. The space itself has a modern yet rustic vibe--very clean and welcoming, with indoor and outdoor seating options. One thing to note: an automatic gratuity of 15-18% is included in the bill, even if you're dining casually, so be mindful of that when tipping. Overall, this is a great spot for a quick and satisfying Italian meal in a prime Miami Beach location. Whether you're grabbing a bite after shopping or heading to the beach, it's a convenient and tasty choice that delivers on quality and

    Checked this place out for the first night in Miami! Food was really good. The place gave a more casual feel where you go up and order and then pick up your food from the counter, but the food tasted high end. You can see them making the pizza and pastas so the food was fresh and felt authentic. I do think it was a little pricey but also its Miami so I guess its par for the course. Overall a yummy place to check out.

    We went in a sat down at IT Italian Trattoria to look at the menu for a possible lunch stop... nice outdoor seating area, we thought we'd enjoy! The inside of the place is kind of dark, not a real open airy feel like outside. The staff were not very friendly when we approached to look at and ask question about the food selections. No toilet paper in the bathroom, and apparently none in the place because the staff were discussing someone leaving to go get more toilet paper. Rather underwhelming.... The food didn't really look that great compared to other spots near by, so we didn't stay. Don't need to go back....

    Wonderful place for breakfast, a lot of beautiful and tasteful options. I super recommend the panini strada and dolcci. The price is a little high as common in the area but the taste is worth it (despite some other places). They have a lot of places to sit and enjoy your breakfast, nice playlist, good decoration and vibe. The only thing that bothered us: Few staff in the morning generating a huge line. I swear that it took me 35 minutes to get my meal and it only was 4 people before me. Unbelievable! I felt a lot of disorganization. Despite that K really enjoy our breakfast and probably will give a second shot but coming early to avoid the line.

    Amazing food, and very fairly priced. Truly amazing meal after exploring a long day in Miami Beach. Only knocking one star off for the 18% service charge. They're transparent about it, but 18% for 2 people feels high. MUST GO place if you're in Miami Beach! We specifically came back on our 2nd trip because we wanted it again!

    **"An Unforgettable Taste That Stands the Test of Time!** We first discovered this amazing spot back in 2022, right after the COVID lockdowns, and it instantly became one of our favorite places. The flavors were unforgettable, and the atmosphere was just perfect. Fast forward to today--we revisited, and *nothing* has changed... in the *best* way possible! The taste is still absolutely incredible, just as we remembered. This time, we ordered the **Ice Americano** (smooth and refreshing as always), **two Turkey Egg Paninis** (so delicious and perfectly seasoned), and for dessert, we couldn't resist the **Nutella & Pistachio Croissant**--pure heaven in every bite! And of course, we had to pair it all with a **Double Espresso**, which was bold and rich, just the way we love it. Every single thing we tried was flawless. If we ever find ourselves back in Miami, you can bet we'll be stopping by again. This place is a *must-visit* for anyone who appreciates consistently amazing coffee and food. **10/10 every time!**"

    Another perfect spot to grab a bite and drink. We always sit at the bar to enjoy a little pizza and a cold Peroni. The Margarita Pizza is one of the best in town. Fresh ingredients and we always ask for a little extra basil. They also have another location on Lincoln you should try. Great staff there as well. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!

    This is one of my #1 places to eat Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. They have a variety of Italian food & beverages. I have has various gourmet sandwiches and pasta dishes. All were delectable and freshly made. Cannot wait to go back. There were days that I took my meal and Margarita to go, and would enjoy it at the beach. This place is aesthetically pleasing and the bar is beautiful. Service is great, friendly staff front ans back of the house. Highly recommend!

    TLDR: the food is a hit or miss, but the cashier was rude and didn't send the order to the kitchen, so two whole families got their foods and left before we realized something was wrong... Bolognese pasta - this dish was good. The pasta was the right amount of Al dente, and the sauce was rich and creamy. Carbonara pasta - this dish was bad. The pasta was definitely undercooked, and it was way too salty. It was very hard to eat. Bad service - I don't even know if you can call it service bc this place is self-service like a cafeteria lol. You place your order w/ a cashier, get a buzzer, and you pick up the food once it buzzes. But our cashier was rude, added a 20% service fee to our receipt, even though we're technically not receiving service; and then proceeded to NOT send our order to the kitchen. It was only when we realized that two whole families have sat down behind us, got their foods, and left - that we realized something was wrong with our order. The workers there didn't even listen to us at first, claiming that we just needed to wait longer. It was only when they checked their system that they realized our order wasn't even in the system in the first place that they finally got us our food and a dessert as an apology. Good ambiance though - the interior was nice. If only I got to enjoy it.

    Love the open ambience and window. You order ahead and sit and pick your food up when it buzzes ready. Got the pasta and cannoli and was not disappointed. The pasta was perfectly al dente and seasoned. Portion was just enough so I can enjoy the cannoli. The cannoli was perfectly crunchy, not too sweet, hint of citrus in the cream. Should have ordered two of this! Service overall quick and attentive.

    The pizza here is superb. We visited Italian Trattoria as one of our stops for the Bike Tour. Outdoor, shaded seating is available as well as indoor seating with a bar. Either option is comfortable but outside is better for people watching and group conversations. The pizza here is definitely the star of the show! The crust is baked through, making it a delicious experience for the tastebuds. We were given a mimosa to celebrate our visit and newfound friendships along with water to hydrate. Definitely going to make this a must visit before our next cruise vacation. Fantastic!!!

    Food was pretty good, good ambiance but surprising 2*$2.5 service automatically charged for EACH ITEM THAT WAS ORDERED. They provided next to no service other than putting the tiramisu on a plate and pasta in a bowl, which is assumed usually. There is not even water. Such an insane place, good was fine but would not revisit, PER ITEM SERVICE CHARGE leaves a badte taste

    While visiting Miami Beach, I had one goal: eat at least one restaurant recognized by the Michelin…read moreGuide. After dinner at Macchialina, I can confidently say I chose wisely. Italian restaurants often talk about simplicity, tradition, and technique. Macchialina backs up those claims with execution. You can certainly order à la carte, but I would strongly encourage first-time visitors to consider the chef's tasting menu. At $75 before wine pairings, it feels almost suspiciously underpriced. By the end of the meal, I wasn't wondering whether it was worth the money. I was wondering how they weren't charging more. The first course arrived as a trio. Creamy polenta with mushrooms, onions, and chives, broccoli rabe topped with toasted breadcrumbs and a soft-boiled egg, and a savory pastry filled with sliced pork and a rich sauce. All three were excellent, but the polenta was the dish that immediately demanded attention. I've had a lot of polenta over the years. Very little of it has approached this texture. It was impossibly smooth, somewhere between polenta and a luxurious puree. Combined with the mushrooms and broth, it delivered a deep, earthy blast of umami that lingered long after the bowl was empty. The second course showcased three pasta dishes. Macchialina's signature cavatelli with veal meatballs, porchetta, and pecorino, agnolotti stuffed with ricotta in brown butter sauce, and a classic cacio e pepe. Choosing a favorite felt unfair. The cavatelli delivered hearty comfort and deeply savory flavors, thanks in large part to the tender veal meatballs. The agnolotti burst with creamy ricotta filling in every bite. The cacio e pepe served as a reminder that great ingredients and proper technique rarely need embellishment. For the third course, a veal Milanese arrived perfectly fried and topped with arugula, concentrated tomatoes, and Parmigiano Reggiano. A grilled lemon accompanied the plate for a final squeeze of brightness. Halfway through the dish, I found myself thinking a touch of balsamic might improve things. Then I caught one of the concentrated tomatoes in a bite and immediately abandoned that thought. The tomatoes provided exactly the acidity and sweetness the dish needed. Nothing more was required. Dessert sealed the deal. Bread pudding made from Sullivan Street brioche, banana, hazelnut crumble, and bitter chocolate. It was paired with vanilla ice cream, and drizzled with caramel sauce. It was rich without becoming heavy, sweet without becoming cloying. The slight bitterness from the chocolate kept everything balanced. It ranks among the best bread puddings I've eaten. Technically, the tasting menu is four courses. In reality, it delivers eight thoughtfully prepared dishes that showcase the kitchen's range, creativity, and restraint. For diners curious about tasting menus but hesitant to jump into a multi-hundred-dollar fine dining experience, Macchialina offers one of the best entry points I've encountered. It feels approachable, generous, and remarkably polished. Some tasting menus leave you impressed. The best ones leave you planning your next visit before you've even paid the check. Macchialina belongs firmly in the second category.

First impressions matter, especially in a restaurant, and this was not a professional welcome. Once seated, our waiter seemed to have very little knowledge of the menu. He could not answer basic questions about the ham or provide information about the food. We had to call him three times, and eventually another server came over, but communication was difficult because they spoke very little English. The food was equally disappointing. The prosciutto was sliced incredibly thick--more like a steak than traditional prosciutto. Anyone familiar with Italian cuisine knows that prosciutto should be cut paper-thin. It was clear that the staff did not know how to prepare or serve it properly. Overall, poor service, lack of product knowledge, and improperly prepared food made this a disaster of a dining experience. I would not return.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The ambiance is beautiful--elegant, intimate, and welcoming. After a short wait in the bar area, we were escorted to our table, where we found it beautifully decorated with roses and rose petals in honor of our anniversary. It was such an unexpected and thoughtful gesture. In fact, the couples dining around us were joking with my husband that he was making them look bad because their tables didn't have the same romantic setup. It made us feel incredibly special. What impressed me most was how genuine the hospitality felt. I've dined at many of Miami's most exclusive and expensive restaurants, and sometimes they make you feel like you should be grateful just to be there. Casa Tua is the complete opposite. The team genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for every guest. They aren't pretentious--they're warm, thoughtful, and focused on hospitality. Those little details make all the difference. The food was absolutely phenomenal. While the menu isn't extensive, everything we ordered was exceptional. I had just returned from a trip to Italy, and I can honestly say the truffle pasta at Casa Tua was every bit as good as the best pasta I had there. It was outstanding. The Branzino deserves its own paragraph. I've ordered Branzino at some of the finest restaurants around the world, and this was, without question, the best Branzino I've ever eaten. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely unforgettable. To top off an already incredible evening, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert beautifully decorated with "Happy Anniversary." It was another thoughtful touch that made our celebration feel even more personal and memorable. Dessert was incredible, the wine selection was excellent, and every single course exceeded our expectations. Another pleasant surprise was the value. Considering the quality of the food, the level of service, the beautiful setting, and the location in South Beach, I expected to spend far more. I've paid nearly twice as much at other Miami restaurants and left far less impressed. Finding this combination of exceptional food, genuine hospitality, beautiful ambiance, and reasonable pricing is incredibly rare. I also have to recognize our server. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name, which is a shame because he deserves a special mention. He was a young gentleman from Venezuela who provided some of the best service I've received in a very long time. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help. Every recommendation he made was excellent, and throughout the evening, we never felt rushed. Instead, we felt cared for and welcomed, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. In today's world, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find restaurants that excel in every category: outstanding service, exceptional food, beautiful ambiance, and fair pricing. Casa Tua delivered on all of them. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary there on Thursday, July 2, and it was an evening we'll never forget. From the beautifully decorated table with roses and petals to the complimentary anniversary dessert, every detail made us feel celebrated. I sincerely hope this level of hospitality is what they consistently deliver because if it is, they have earned lifelong customers. I cannot wait to return, and I will be enthusiastically recommending Casa Tua to all of my friends and family. It was, without question, one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had.

I had crab ravioli (perfection), my bestie had cacio e pepe, my husband had gnocchi with chicken, and my friend's hubs had an off-menu mushroom risotto with shrimp that was suggested by the server - literally no misses here, everything was top-tier. Dessert? Tiramisu, creme brulee, and Nutella mousse/ice cream hybrid - all amazing. The ambiance was great. Even the valet was reasonable. Great night, great food. Would go back in a heartbeat.

    Back for a fixing of Miami beach glam! The ambiance here is just *chef's kiss*…read more Our reservations this time were at 6PM and we arrived a little early. What we didn't know is that they have a Super Price menu running from 4:30PM-6PM! So we were able to get our order in and take advantage of the specials. Highly recommend going early because the prices are great! We started the evening with a Caesar salad and an order of the meatballs. And the meatballs were to die for!! They were so delicious! The meat had great seasoning throughout and it was a great ratio with the sauce and ricotta. The caesar was also really good with light dressing. For entree we got the agnolotti rosso which was amazing. It was stuffed with spinach and you can tell spinach was fresh. The sauce was absolutely delicious. And the pasta was made of spinach so it enhanced the flavor. We paired off all the food with a bottle of Bonanza cab which was perfect with the food. The whole time the waiters are flying by making sure our plates are clean, and waters filled. We ended the evening with a piece of tiramisu which was perfection. Perfect balance of mascarpone and coffee. I paired that with an espresso martini which was nice and strong. Great way to enjoy the glamour without breaking the bank!

    I visited Lucali Miami in advance of a cruise and to no small degree planned my day around dining…read morehere! So my very high level of anticipation may certainly be partially to blame for my average-ish experience. I was pleasantly surprised to get a table with no wait at ~6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were high, as expected, but at least the pizzas are of reasonable size. The $32 pasta portion probably could've been a bit more generous. But anyway, on to why we're all here - The Pizza: The crust had a great crunch but I felt lacked nuance beyond that, no chew and a touch on the dry side. Cheese and sauce were fine but also unremarkable. The heaps of basil provided some bright freshness that was definitely appreciated. I feel even more compelled now to try the NYC location for comparison! This wasn't a bad pizza by any stretch but not something I would ever pick over my favorite NYC standouts.
