MichelleJanuary 13, 2017Amazing handmade pasta: get the Cavatelli Macchialina. Go on Thursdays for $10 pasta night. Also get the tiramisu- interesting, different and delicious
Johny HrndzJuly 8, 2012The service is excellent and the atmosphere is great. The Octopus alla Plancha and the Agnolotti del Plin must try. The desserts where extreme disappointments. We had the Tiramisu and Bread Pudino.
Papa SMay 20, 2017Tried the tasting menu. Delicious... loved the burrata w/ toast, tagliatelle al funghi & Tiramasu. Friendly service (Amy was delightful). Only negative is an 8pm res might wait a while (45 mn for us).
Anna MOFebruary 14, 2016Cozy atmosphere. Very tasty zucchini salad. The small meatballs dish is also very yummy. Chicken with farro and mushroom is the perfect healthy choice. Outstanding banana bread pudding! Thanks Carol!
Paul GaugerSeptember 19, 2021Excellent fresh pasta and the burrata was great. Lovely courtyard which is by a hostel strangely, but it’s a lovely setting. Waiter annoyingly kept trying to push the lobster - most expensive dish.
RichaDecember 6, 2020Branzino fish entree with truffle was the best thing on the menu! We throughly enjoyed our meals and the bread pudding dessert was off the chain. 5 star service from start to finish!! 😋
- Duke DispoJune 10, 2014Oh damn. This place is awesome. Probably one of the best Italian restaurants I've been. The short rib lasagna was to die for! A. Must. Try!
- L. Q.August 5, 2021I was glad I ordered the tasting menu (it was a great opportunity to try the house’s best dishes). Also: amazing natural/organic/biodynamic wine list. The sommelier was really helpful.
David GodyckiDecember 24, 2020Seafood pasta is fantastic, fresh pasta and perfectly cooked prawns, but the star of the show....Short rib lasagna, the best you’ll ever eat!
Neel HajareFebruary 9, 2023Tagliolini al tartufo nero was probably the favorite of the dishes we tried. Service was great

Chris WeberOctober 15, 2022The grilled broccoli as a starter.Pasta with meat balls and the sea bass were amazingly delicious.Wine menu is also great.Loved the Brunello from Uccelliera (2017).
James JApril 27, 2022Holy cow this place is amazing. Every appetizer was solid. The pastas were some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff super attentive. Amazing.Upvoted Feb 3
It’s a cozy place, with a genuine atmosphere, very authentic Italian county food. Although I have to say it’s not the same as in the first days, but still one of my favorites.
NicoleJanuary 29, 2016If it is offered the night you dine, you MUST do the Chef's tasting menu..... OMG, sooo delicious! 7 courses of perfection.
Victoria BabunNovember 25, 2013#Bestof305 Come hungry. Leave happy. Also, the simple spaghetti side was perfectly cooked. Our server Dragana was super nice, knew her stuff & was seriously on top of it. Sunday Brunch from 12-4PM!!!- Victoria BabunNovember 25, 2013Another ridiculously good dish: The Wagyu Tartare: Preserved Truffle**,Confit Shallots & Parmigiano. Ambiance is Rustic, Warm & Inviting! They played awesome back round music too. Happy Hour 6-8pm.
Tara DîanaFebruary 16, 2017The tasting menu and the specials are always worth a shot, as well as their pastas!
Miami New TimesJune 26, 2013Best of Miami 2013- Best Restauraunt in South beach: Macchialina. Constructed of well respected chefs, this delicious and affordable Italian restaurant features favorites like Spaghetto con Vongole. Read more- Victoria BabunNovember 25, 2013Adorable spot! Awesome Owners. Their food is fresh & straight-up & came out fast. The Oysters are the best & I loved the Pollenta, Meatball Stromboli & Snapper to name a handful of delicious dishes.
Tasting TableAugust 8, 2012Come for the artful small-plate renditions like the Lombarda pizza, topped with heady Gorgonzola and pancetta, or creamy polenta. Try a Reppublica, made with vermouth, amaro and muddled oranges: Read more
Falen AngelMarch 30, 2014everything is amazing here. must try the polenta. meat balls are amazing. and black pasta with baby clams is also really good. octopus is amazing and crunchy.
Stephanie RosaJuly 23, 2012All dishes are wayyy smaller than expected! Anything with the short rib is delish & be sure to try the bread pudding for dessert!
Im so in love with this place! Everything its done the way it's supposed to! Outstanding food, friendly and kind service and a great ambiance and hip decor!- Miami New TimesNovember 2, 2012Happy hour is EVERY DAY from 6 PM - 8 PM! $1.50 Oysters! $10 Pizza & Pint! $5 Peroni Prosecco! Yum! Save room for dessert! Particularly tiramisu!
Elika Real EstateNovember 29, 2018For real the best Italian in Miami. Smoked eggplant parmigiana and homemade pasta are divine. Flavors don’t get more authentic.
I love the polenta and the Cavatelli Macchialina (baby meatballs, porchetta and pecorino)! The waiters are super-nice and give great suggestions too!- Wayne HewettDecember 29, 2023Everything we had was delicious. And Emily was the absolute best server.Upvoted Feb 3
Rishi ShahNovember 24, 2018Had the tasting menu. Best in Miami. The tagliolini al funghi was out of this world!
Jenny LundbergMarch 10, 2018The starter and mains we had was really good, especially mushroom pasta. The dessert (Pannacotta) was ok. The sound level was crazy loud. We couldn’t hear each other because of people screaming.
Erica SJuly 15, 2012Great food and great staff. The short rib lasagna and sausage polenta should not be missed.
MacchialinaJuly 9, 2013Happy Hour 6pm-8pm Tuesday - Sunday! $1.50 oysters, $5 beer, wine & bubbles! Pizza specials!
Noah TuckerSeptember 24, 2018Best mutha f’in food I’ve had in Miami/ top spot for real food and service
- danila mirolyubovApril 22, 2015Pasta with shrimps was the best. Three other entries we ordered not so.
Lara BMarch 30, 2013The salsa verde while delicious is NOT vegetarian. The waiter probably should have mentioned that

"Lobster spaghetti is (unsurprisingly) fantastic. They also do the grilled octopus very well -- not overcooked; great texture with a light and balanced lemon/salt+pepper preparation"
Molly Krause - 8.1
"Best pastas, steaks and short rib on barney rubble bone!"
Michael Ferran - 6.2
"Italian and Italian/Asian fusion. Surprisingly the latter were the winning dishes - tuna tartare and corn dumplings. Foccacia and salad a major pass. Way too loud music"
