Top Best Italian Restaurants in Bal Harbour

"Nobody makes you feel more convincingly that you're in Italy like former-Scarpetta chef Michael Pirolo does at Macchialina. This tiny Alton Rd eatery not only survived the volatile Miami restaurant industry, it did it on Alton Rd when Alton Rd was a giant pile of gravel. The only spot not called Panera to survive the Alton Armageddon, it's done it with the richest red sauces, freshest pastas, and most inventive cocktail menu on this list."

"Business and life partners Jen Chaefsky and former Scarpetta chef de cuisine Michael Pirolo consistently offer some of Miami's best and most satisfying food. Every dish is wonderful, especially Pirolo's house-made pastas and creamy polenta loaded with sausage ragu. There's always something new to try in the daily special list and Macchialina offers an affordable five-course tasting menu daily."

"The moment you step into Macchialina Taverna, you’ll notice that it’s wildly different from other Miami restaurants. This is because it doesn’t invite natural sunlight as much as others do. This design choice gives the restaurant a homey and cozier mood than other Italian restaurants."

"Not having enough time to travel with your significant other to southern Europe in order to share unforgettable moments is no longer an excuse!. Casa Tua will make you feel as a citizen of Tuscany, not only due to its warm and serene atmosphere, as you would expect from a cozy Mediterranean villa, but also thanks to its superb menu choices: steaks, sirloin, lasagne, lamb, and let's not forget about their vanilla with orange cream dessert and the deliciously traditional tiramisu."

"The restaurant of this beautiful home features an eighteen-seat chef's table, as well as several rooms that make diners feel as if they are eating at a friend's house. Casa Tua may provide a casual atmosphere, but their kitchen operates with a deadly a...[Learn more]"

"The restaurant attracts loyal regulars of the city center, who appreciate fast, efficient service and delicious Italian cuisine. The lively dining room rings with bargains, while the classic dishes are filled with white linen tables. The terrace has a quieter mood, and visitors can admire a stunning view of Biscayne Bay."

"Simply put: Il Gabbiano (Miami) is the finest Italian restaurant you will ever experience, period. Nothing else even comes close (setting, service, food taste, freshness and presentation). We were fortunate to meet and take a photo with the humble owner and master chef Gino Machi."

"Looking for tastes and flavor profiles that closely resemble Italy?. Il Gabbiano your best bet for that. With an all-white interior, the restaurant is sure to make you feel comfortable and clean as you pick a table to settle down in."

"Possibly one of the most glamorous restaurants in Miami, this Michelin-starred, D.C. import has been wowing crowds since its debut. It boasts a menu filled with pristine seafood, house-made pastas (which are all offered in gluten-free varieties) such as short rib agnolotti, alongside heartier dishes like lamb rack, branzino, and melt-in-your mouth steak paired with an extensive wine selection."

"The Fiola is a prime spot in Coral Gables that is one of the best new restaurants in Miami. Hip and welcoming, this restaurant is an ideal spot for a night out with friends or a da..."

"Italian food in Fort Lauderdale didn’t disappoint me either. I mean, just take a look at this cheese & meat plate and you’ll understand. I ordered a salad later and couldn’t finish it, but I did manage to finish a few lemoncake champagne cocktails."

"Louie Bossi's is in Las Olas and makes their bread, pasta, gelato, cookies, and pastries in house daily. They bake homemade pizzas in an oven imported from Italy and have prosciutto and salami made in house with various Italian cheeses on the menu."

"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:"

"This Argentinian-styled steakhouse is a one-stop-shop for satisfying foods like artisan pizza, skirt steaks, churrascos and legendary empanadas. Conveniently located on Hollywood Boulevard, just off Interstate 95, Kussifay dishes please almost anyone. Try the pizza kussifay, ribe eye steak with chimmichurri, pollo al ajillo or the parillada."

"Head to Caffe Abbracci in Coral Gables for a classic rendition of southern Italy's spaghetti alla puttanesca. Here, it's made with a rough-and-ready combination of tomatoes, olive oil, olives, capers, garlic, and anchovies. Caffe Abbracci offers an abundant portion of this lusty, tangy, and somewhat salty entrée, with enough flavor and texture to please the most demanding of palates ($22)."

"Be pampered at this fine Italian eatery, where the attentive staff treats each guest like family. The name of the restaurant is Italian for "hugs," and you'll feel the warmth and care that goes into each dish. High-profile locals and visiting celebrities can often be found here, and people watching is always fascinating in the colorful, upscale dining room."

"Although a little pricey, the atmosphere of this warm dining room with dark wood trim is worth the expense. Also enjoyable is the people-watching; celebs often dine here. While the regulars do get special treatment, it is worth it to get on that list."

"The number one spot for birthdays, engagement parties and work functions. This is when a steakhouse meets a fancy harbor. The combination is immaculate and refreshing."
