Top Best Italian Restaurants in Aventura

"Macchialina is a tiny Alton Road eatery owned by former Scarpetta chef Michael Pirolo, who makes every guest feel right at home on arrival. The popular restaurant serves a creative menu of the freshest house-made pasta, the richest red sauces, hearty meat and chicken dishes, and decadent desserts, along with an inventive cocktail list. Pasta, risotto, and gnocchi are all made by hand by the chef himself; the house lasagna puts nonna's to shame, and nobody should leave without trying signature dishes like the Mediterranean octopus with concentrated tomato and potato cream or the beet mezzaluna crowned with hazelnuts, brown butter, and ricotta salata."

"A Scarpetta alum helms this tiny, brick-walled taverna, serving handmade corzetti with garlic scapes and asparagus, and spaghetti con gamberi with Key West shrimp and Calabrese chiles, as well as roasted branzino and cabbage cacio e pepe. Unlike your average red sauce joint, the bar pours excellent craft cocktails (including The Speck-tacular Now, featuring honey clove syrup, Jamaican bitters and speck-infused Tin Cup whiskey) as well as an extensive list of Italian and international wines.

"And you'd be hard-pressed to find a more heavenly, authentic rendition of their marriage in a pasta dish than at Macchialina, a South Beach Italian spot that boasts a charming dining room, genuinely friendly service, and wonderful pastas. Chef Michael Pirolo's spaghetti pomodoro offers pristine handmade noodles tossed in a sauce possessing the perfect combination of acidity and sweetness, plus a touch of fragrant basil. Don't be shy about adding plenty of grated Parmesan cheese — it won't corrupt the culinary integrity of this dish ($21)."

"A special occasion staple, Casa Tua skillfully blends comfort and class. Guests enjoy Northern Italian classics like black truffle fettuccine and Mediterranean branzino from a cozy library or under a string of lanterns on the outdoor patio. For wine aficionados, a generous collection houses various vintages from across the globe."

"When it comes to the best Italian restaurants in Miami, Casa Tua should be mentioned. The restaurant is open-air, surrounded by a lush garden and a wonderful view. Here you can enjoy not only the best Italian food at Miami Beach but also sensual sights, smells, sounds."

"Restaurants South Beach"

"Il Gabbiano is a trendy Italian restaurant that is known for its soul-satisfying food. Located on Biscayne Boulevard on Miami’s waterfront, this stylish eatery is a hotspot for lunch and dinner. Owned by the Masci brothers, founders of Manhattan’s famed Il Mulino, diners are treated to a genuine Italian experience, which includes everything from complimentary antipasti upon arrival and after-dinner limoncello to ample dinner plates infused with authentic Italian flavors."

"If romance to you means big bucks and high caloric intake, this splurge-worthy Italian restaurant is your best option. Try Il Gabbiano’s crowd-pleasing pastas, which include a creamy fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti carbonara. Or maybe you crave the incredibly tender filet of beef with Barolo wine sauce."

"Following in the tradition of great New York restaurants opening locations in Miami, Il Gabiano is the sunshine state incarnation of Il Mulino. The views here are dotted with small islands and the skyline of the city within the well-lit, marble-accente...[Learn more]"

"Louie Bossi’s Eggs al Forno with Pancetta and San Marzano Sauce on their oven-roasted Polenta, for a hearty yet wholesome brunch. Photo from Louie Bossi’s via Facebook. Walk by Louie Bossi’s famed restaurant any day of the week, and you’ll be greeted by a snaking queue down Las Olas Boulevard."

"This charming Italian restaurant is full of romantic nostalgia. Hailing from the Italian city of Pompei, it’s no surprise that former owner Armando Alfano chose a Great Depression-era bank as the site of his Downtown restaurant, with the giant bank vault the backdrop for nightly jazz performances. Guests sit on mismatched tables and couches, dining on impeccable Italian delicacies served up by chef Cristian D’oria, ranging from vegetarian-friendly options like the sfoglia di melanzane, a baked layer of eggplant, smoked mozzarella and fresh tomatoes topped with a puff pastry, to the more meatier filetto alla provola, a fillet mignon medallion pan seared & served with smoked mozzarella & sautéed spinach with homemade mashed potatoes."

"Pasta , Italian"

"From the minute it opens every morning, Miami’s largest food hall dedicated to all things Italian is bustling. Let’s just say it has something to do with the nine unique restaurants, the full-service European market and the upstairs wine bar. No matter what kind of lunch you’re in the mood for, La Centrale has you covered."

"This food hall in the Brickell City Centre gives you the ultimate Italian dining experience. It has everything from restaurants, cafes, and shopping stalls filled with wines and artisanal cheeses. There are even gelato shops for you to choose from if you want a cold treat after a hefty meal."

"Start your Downtown Miami adventure at Bayside’s 2nd Floor Food Court. Go American-style at Starbuck’s or enjoy a Latin-style breakfast of Cuban coffee and pan tostada (toasted Cuban bread) at Café Con Leche."

"Popsicles and paletas are one of the toughest foods to get delivered, but Paletas Morelia has figured it out. The local chain offers takeout and delivery on any of its tasty frozen treats and it’s not skimping on toppings either. Each order comes packed in dry ice and arrives with the finishings of your choice—think sprinkles, cookies, chocolate syrup and more—to DIY at home."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coral Gables. Morelia Gourmet Paletas only does artisanal Mexican popsicles and they do it so well. The colorful pops are made with all-natural ingredients and fully customizable so no two paletas will ever be the same."

"Grab one to-go or opt for one of its do-it-yourself kits where customers can choose between a 4-pack or an 8-pack kit, which comes with their choice of paleta flavors and different dippings and toppings. Available for takeout or delivery."

"Inspired by the four ‘T’ cities — Tel Aviv, Thong Sala, Tokyo, and Tulum — the Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall is full of photo opportunities. With many hidden spots boasting beautiful Instagram backgrounds, you’ll have to explore the entire premises to discover them all. We won’t keep you guessing too much, though — here are some of our favorites:"

"A relative newcomer on Miami’s art scene, The Bonnier Gallery is focused on presenting works by minimalist, blue-chip artists such as Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt and Donald Judd. Husband-and-wife duo Grant and Christina Bonnier set up their Allapattah gallery with direct access to work by these post-war masters: Grant’s father, a New York dealer, represented many of these icons during their lifetimes. The gallery hosts a range of regular exhibitions, but if you’re more interested in the Andy Warhols, Dan Flavins or Christos they have available, be sure to make an appointment."

"At The Tank, cigars and beer don’t make for such strange bedfellows. Clocking in at 25,000-square-feet, there’s plenty of room for brewing, drinking and then lighting up a stogie at the adjacent cigar lounge. From an English-style brown ale to a tropical pale ale, the brewery’s three-barrel system allows them to crank out a new beer every week."

"Where to find it: 5100 NW 72nd Avenue, Bay A1, Miami, FL 33166. Review: Extremely friendly and welcoming staff, ambient, delicious burgers. This is one of our absolute favorite Miami bars."

"EST.33 Thai Craft Brewery & Kitchen is set to opened early this year inside Brickell City Centre. The restaurant features Asian flavors that meet the distinctive techniques of American barbecue complemented by Thai craft brews. When we tried the creative eatery we were blown away by the flavors and service, all set in an open terrace on the fourth floor."

"33 is a Thai brewery and restaurant located in the Brickell City Centre. They serve things like red curry crab croquettes, lemongrass chicken, and pad Thai."

"Beginning distribution in 2014, Biscayne Bay Brewing Company didn’t open with a 3,400 square-foot taproom until 2016. Lucky for Doral drinkers, it keeps 15 rotating beers on tap, a handful of which are its own brews. Unique to its competition, this brewery has a temperature-controlled barrel-aging room that allows it to create whiskey barrel-aged beers like La Salida, El Roble and Buenas Noches."

"Breweries and children don’t tend to go hand-in-hand, but at Biscayne Bay Brewing every Saturday kids under 12 eat for free off a menu, which features a cheese pizza, grilled cheese sandwich, and chicken fingers. Available from noon to 3 p.m. View this post on Instagram"
