Top Best Italian Restaurants in Haulover Beach

"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."

"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."

"This cozy, family-owned Italian restaurant is home to some of the best pasta in the city. Start with the creamy polenta, order a bottle of Lambrusco, and end with the tiramisu — there’s no wrong move in between. Make sure to check out its new outdoor patio dubbed “il Giardino” for al fresco dining."

"Another fairytale experience can be found at Casa Tua, a Mediterranean-style villa hidden away behind tall hedges in the middle of busy South Beach. As its name suggests, this restaurant makes you feel like you’re dining inside a close friend’s home. Couples can choose between an intimate table inside the villa, or one in the lush garden where lanterns dot the trees, creating a romantic glow."

"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."

"Casa Tua is one of the Italian Restaurants in Miami that instantly transports you to Italy and the name means “Your home”.
