Top Best Italian Restaurants in Brickell

"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."

"There are quite a few top quality Italian restaurants in Miami, and Macchialina is one of the best. Here you can enjoy rustic Italian cuisine and cooking that’s influenced by the seasons. Step inside this stylish restaurant and try Italian delicacies such as meatballs, white beans, handmade pasta and freshly made traditional Italian pizzas."

"Dine on well-executed Italian classics like braised short-rib lasagna, branzino, veal Milanese, in Macchialina’s ample outdoor dining area dubbed “il Giardino” offering plenty of fully covered dining that holds up to Miami’s not-so-predictable weather."

"Situated inside a Mediterranean-style villa with an adjoining garden, Casa Tua is a peaceful respite from the bustle of Miami Beach. The menu here is classic Italian – satiating pasta dishes in creamy sauce dusted with parmesan, and succulent cuts of meat accompanied by sautéed greens and crisp roasted potatoes. What really makes Casa Tua stand out, though, is the stellar ambience."

"This is a special place, characterized by a chic atmosphere and style of the 1920s. Attracting a rich clientele that appreciates the club atmosphere, this unique oasis of Northern Italy is an ideal place for a romantic date or a festive feast. The service is fast and professional, and the atmosphere in the courtyard is dazzling."

"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]"

"This high-end downtown Italian eatery combines excellent Italian cuisine in an elegant setting with spectacular views of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay to present a unique dining experience. The menu rises to the occasion with complimentary focaccia and a selection of fresh cheeses and charcuterie on arrival, followed by mouthwatering signature dishes such as risotto ai frutti di mare, filetto farcito (tender filet with foie gras), and Champagne escalope of veal sautéed in a delicious Champagne cream served with fresh julienne vegetables. Desserts cater to both a sweet and savory tooth and include zabaglione, Italian cheesecake, and Positano oranges."

"Not only is the menu fire and the atmosphere amazing, but the waiters greet you with free served starters like zucchini chips and freshly scooped cheese. But, whatever you do, don’t miss out all their amazing pasta dishes and their savory garlic bread."

"While date night is a bit more tricky nowadays, uber-chic Coral Gables eatery Fiola is still bringing its top notch service and Italian fair to diners thanks to its well covered outside seating. From caviar to white truffles to a wagyu ribeye, the high-end dishes are worth the splurge."

"Fabio Trabocchi, a chef and restaurateur from Italy's Adriatic Coast who has won the highest praise from critics throughout his international career, opened Fiola in Coral Gables i..."

"Soya e Pomodoro is a seductive and rustic trattoria similar to one that might be found on an ancient cobblestone side street in Venice. Following an ethos of serving "simple food made with love," Soya e Pomodoro offers creative Italian fare such as melt-in-your-mouth ravioli pillows of minced porcini mushrooms and ricotta cheese, spinach and ricotta cannilloni, and sprightly sauced and cheesed melanzane alla parmigiana. The entree range includes seared bistecca con pepperoni e capperi (sirloin steak with roasted red peppers, capers, and garlic), while desserts end on a sweet note with homemade tiramisu."

"Miamians seem to be split into two groups: natives who still live with their parents and transplants who moved as far away from their parents as humanly possible. If you fall into the second group, but occasionally want to feel like you're eating with family, head to this tiny spot Downtown run by an old Italian couple who close the place on American AND Italian holidays, or whenever they feel like it. The mismatched furniture really makes it feel like home, but unlike home you can still bring your slightly questionable dates here: it's also one of Miami's most romantic restaurants."

"Located in the Miami Design District Mc Kitchen serves up a modern take on Italian classics using seasonal organic ingredients, homemade pastas and cheeses and house cured meats!.

"Whether you’re seated in the intimate dining room or the lush courtyard, at Joey’s you’ll feel like you’re dining at a friend’s welcoming home. The casual Italian eatery – which was one of the first restaurants in Wynwood – is all about the carb life, with an array of authentic pizzas and pastas. You can’t go wrong with the spaghetti vongole, made with middleneck clams, olive oil, garlic and white wine sauce."

"As the name suggests Joey’s is located in the Wynwood area of Miami and it was actually the first restaurant to open in the area. It is one of the best Miami Italian restaurants for pizza but has a full menu with other dishes. Try the grilled octopus, eggplant parmigiana, or meatballs for a starter or try the Charcuterie platter that comes in two sizes depending on the size of your party!"

"Cibo Wine Bar is a contemporary take on an Italian winery, and presents 3,500 bottles of premium wines in a dramatic two-story wine room. The bar is located in South Beach’s South of Fifth area, and there is a second location in Coral..."

"Ladurée, an asthetically-pleasing cafe that serves the most delicate desserts, is located in the design district and Lincoln Road. The French Macarons are what they are known for, because of the fact that they explode with flavor with every bite. My personal favorite is pistachio, but this quaint restaurant has many more flavors like coffee, orange blossom, lemon, and rose petal."

"South BeachWhat you're getting: MacaroonsOnce you get past the chain-smoking and general disregard for manners, the French are pretty likable, especially when, like this bakery on Lincoln Rd, they're turning out these cookies that were created in Paris in 1862."

"Before donuts became hip and pastry chefs got their hands on them, they were the everyman’s breakfast pastry. Dandee Donuts is one of the few independent places where you can still grab an old-school, traditional donut. You can also sit down and have an omelet, a patty melt, or even a pizza here."

"The Barnacle Historic State Park is home to the oldest house in Miami|© William Silver / Shutterstock.

"At this 5-acre gem in Coconut Grove is the oldest home in its original location in Miami-Dade County (1891), which once housed Ralph Middleton Munroe, an American yacht designer. You'll also see plenty of mesmerizing Spanish moss. A post shared by @lizz_ax3 on Feb 26, 2017 at 2:42pm PST"
