Eboni WashingtonMay 11, 2013It's so nice to come to a place that has both great food and great customer service. Everyone was so nice and extremely attentive and the food....WOW!! If you're in the area you have to eat here!Upvoted Feb 13
This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the whole world. The carpaccio is excellent. Order the Citra Montepulciano to wash down whatever of their delicious meals you choose to please your palate.
AmateurConciergeMarch 21, 2021Classic North Beach local spot. It’s not gonna change ur life but perfect for walk ins even in high season. The pear pasta for sure.- My favorite Italian spot! Everything is amazing. Try the Fiocchi rapera- pear and cheese filled pasta topped with roasted prosciutto and truffle sauce. It's to die for. Also, the veal parm ❤️
- Their Scampi Cosanostra was seriously one of the best shrimp dishes I’ve ever had. Shrimp sautéed with garlic, lemon and herbs over spinach and roasted potatoes. Perfectly cooked…juicy & so delicious.
Travel + LeisureSeptember 30, 2013Locals love the old-school feel of this Italian restaurant—a Miami Beach mainstay—with its pictures of celebrities on the wall and distinct character.
