    The place is okay. Service was very okay, she did not care about us, take too long to talk to us, food came fast thou. Talking about food. Rio de Janeiro pizza is did not like Brasil. Catupiry was cream cheese, no filling, pizza crust was good. Alfred sauce was the same as 4 cheese gnocchi sauce. Basically food was all ready and did not taste nothing special. Did not worth the price!

    Piola was so incredibly yummy. We visited there while on vacation in Miami Beach for lunch. Lenka was our server and she was so nice! I appreciated her helping me with my pizza selection - I ended up going with the new Capricciosa pizza, their premium pizza that included artichokes, sautéed mushroom, Italian ham "Parma Cotto", mozzarella and their famous homemade fresh daily tomato sauce. The portions are huge but was so hungry from our travel to Miami Beach that I ate my whole pizza! Lenka did a great job serving us too. She made sure we had all the pizza toppings for our table, as well as refills on our beverages. She was just so phenomenal at her job and was so happy, nice and kind. Nothing was too much for her to handle, all with an amazing attitude. Lastly, we came a little after lunch - around 2:30pm on a Sunday and it was really quiet. Not many people were dining so we got our food really quickly which was awesome! The ambiance was nice too -- wasn't super fancy or anything but was a casual nice setting. We can't wait to visit here again the next time we visit Miami Beach.

    Penne Cividale

    This place is a cute little Italian restaurant. The wait staff is very sweet and the food was really delish! I got one of the specials which was pasta in a cream sauce with seafood and mushrooms. It was a special so not something regularly on the menu but it was amazing. My partner got the Penne Cividale and it was amazing too. We also started with the garlic knots that really hit the spot. They don't have a full bar but a bunch of wines and some basic cocktails like mojito and a simple margarita. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is on their terrace so you're not directly on the street.

    I came here about a few months ago and the service was amazing and the owner was super sweet. I had the 4 cheese gnocchi legnano and it was okay. I wouldn't get it again. My partner loved the pizza. The coffee was great. We are back again and I got the bolognese and my partner got the penne pasta. Both was fantastic, I would definitely recommend this place.

    Nice Italian place! We were staying in Miami Beach during art Basel and looking for a place to eat since most places we couldn't get reservations with it being art Basel that day. We were walking down and saw this cute little restaurant which was tucked on the street and had nice outdoor seating. Hostesses were very friendly and so was the waitress. We had a great time here. The pizzas we ordered were both good and so was the garlic knots. The wine we selected was also smooth and it was the bottle recommended by our waitress. Overall so glad we found this spot when we couldn't figure out where to eat with all this Basel craziness!

    ORTOMISTO pizza. The sauce was very bland.

    The outdoor seating was great and had a nice vibe. We enjoyed sitting there. I chose this restaurant because there were so many positive reviews of the pizza. There were many interesting ones to choose from, however, we were disappointed with the taste and quality. The sauce was very bland and didn't seam to have any of the normal seasonings. The crust did not have a good flavor and was undercooked. The toppings seemed to be of good quality. The server never checked after the food arrived but she was taking care of a lot of tables.

    The food was amazing and so was our server Umberto would definitely recommend. Excellent dessert as well.

    I ordered a supreme pizza for pickup and was genuinely looking forward to trying it, even knowing it was on the pricier side. Unfortunately, when I opened the box, the pizza looked undercooked and smaller than expected. My fingers ended up covered in flour while eating, the center of the pizza was stuck to the box making it nearly impossible to separate the slices, and most of it felt like crust rather than toppings. After the disappointing meal, I checked the bill and noticed a pricing difference. The paper receipt on the box showed $22.89, and with the $2.10 tip I left, it totaled $24.99. However, the electronic receipt listed a total of $26.89, including a $1.99 service fee that wasn't clearly reflected on the paper receipt. I'm not trying to bash the restaurant--I know it's a tough business--but I did want to share my experience so others are aware. For nearly $25 without tip, it ended up being about four slices of pizza. Hopefully, the undercooked pie was just a one-time issue.

    We ate here twice in one day! Not only is it conveniently located in the lobby of the hotel in which we are staying, but it also appears to be very popular. The place stayed busy with individuals and groups coming and going throughout the dining room and picking up to-go orders. The atmosphere was very lively and rather loud during our evening visit, but that was mostly due to the staff of giggly young ladies. When we came at lunch,I noticed the colorful lamps hanging over the tables that were up against the far wall and in the evening, they put out cute, little touch lamps for moody lighting. We shared a pepperoni pie (9/10- very good for the kind of thin-crust pie that they serve) for lunch and at dinner we shared a Supreme pie without sausage (6/10) as well as a huge Toscanini Salad on a bed of arugula (8.5/10). The Supreme pie was very heavy on the red onions and light on pepperoni. You got about one pepperoni per slice, so 4 total for the entire pie. We probably should've kept the sausage on. They offer parmesan, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, oregano, balsamic vinegar and oil to you when bringing your food out to the table. During dinner, at one point, I think we had ALL of the offerings on our table. Not because the food needed it, but because it was fun! The condiments added to our individual experiences by allowing us to customize the flavor profiles to our own preferences. All of the staff was very warm, welcoming and attentive. The thin-crust pizza was light and delicious. They serve beer, wine and mimosas. The bellini mimosa that we had with dinner was yummy and refreshing.

    I was staying in the hotel attached to this restaurant during a recent stay in Miami for a work conference so it was very convenient. We had no trouble getting a table for lunch one day and the service was pretty quick. The portions were huge! We honestly should have split a pizza but we wanted two different things. The food was good and we had leftovers for a few days. Highly recommend checking them out!

    Lentil soup
    Christine K.

    Nice place next to the busy street. There is seating inside and outside. Good service and good food. We ordered the lentil soup and the ortomisto pizza.

    Gluten free Houston pizza
    Paige S.

    Came here right when we got to Miami. Was a close walk from our hotel. Had great gluten free options. Gluten free crust was really good. Service was fast. Sat outside which there was a nice seating area. Was windy when we were there but still had a great time. Recommend if you need gluten free.

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.

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!

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.

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.
