Top Best Italian Restaurants in Miami 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."

"Machialina opened in 2012 and since has been one of the best Italian Restaurants in Miami known for Chef Michael Pirolo’s take on rustic Italian food. The menu choices focus on a select few dishes from antipasti like local burrata, creamy polenta, country bread. Pasta dishes include chef favorite Spaghetti con Vongole a garlic and white wine sauce, Vacatelli Macchialina or Tagliatelle with mushrooms and shallots."

"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 friendly sister outpost of the esteemed Casa Tua Restaurant in Miami Beach, a visit at Casa Tua Cucina feels like a behind-the-scenes tour of the neighborhood trattoria. With an open kitchen showcasing Italian dishes like pasta, bread, charcuterie, pizza, and lots of wine, this Saks Fifth Avenue eatery serves as the ideal locale for an after-work aperitif or mid-shopping spree splurge.

"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."

"This might be the best restaurant experience you can have in Miami without ever ordering a thing. Not that the folks who run this high-end Downtown Italian eatery would condone that, but combine the front-row seat to Biscayne Bay and the Miami River with a selection of fresh cheeses, charcuterie, and focaccia served gratis before you even look at the menu, and you've already got a better time than a lot of places around town. But don't quit while you're ahead: the filetto farcito (filet w/ foie gras) and risotto ai frutti di mare will make you forget all about that refill of focaccia you asked for."

"This restaurant offers a dedicated approach to romantic dining and knows how to make the most of it when it comes to providing clients with memorable and pleasant outings. Let them know, while making a reservation, that you plan to visit with the intention of dazzling your sweetheart. They will provide you with a perfect location where you will be able to enjoy their wonderful recipes."

"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."

"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..."

"Fiola is one of the best restaurants in Miami, but it's actually in Coral Gables, one of the most affluent suburbs of the city. The restaurant serves contemporary Italian dishes, w"

"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."

"Don’t let Downtown’s grit turn you away; one of the best cheap restaurants in Miami is hidden on a tucked-away alley more reminiscent of Milan than Miami. Launched by two Italians, Soya e Pomodoro is the kind of spot where you come for dinner and end up spending the night lingering over drinks as you sway to the sounds of live jazz bands serenading the crowd. While the food is no-frills, the flavors are just as authentic as those you’d find in Italy."

"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."

"When you’re in the mood for a little Italian comfort food, head over to Jack’s Miami. It’s a family friendly restaurant without feeling like a kids’ restaurant. This charming spot is known for its generous portions, budget-friendly prices, and recipes straight from Nona’s kitchen."

"Palat Miami is located in the Buena Vista neighborhood of Miami, just steps from the Design District at 4702 NE 2nd Ave. Featuring Modern Italian Cuisine and sleek & modern décor, it is the first Florida location of Aldo Lamberti’s Family of Restaurants, a restaurant group from the South Jersey/Philadelphia area. Palat’s diverse menu reflects the Chef’s & Owner’s Neapolitan roots with contemporary Italian plates, including homemade pastas, the freshest seafood dishes and delicious meat options."

"Continue south on Collins Avenue and enjoy the views of Miami Beach, eventually reaching iconic South Beach. Park and head to the sand to enjoy a few hours on the beach. If that doesn’t sound like the right fit, enjoy a walk along iconic Lincoln Road for shopping, eating, drinking and people watching."
