Top Best Italian Restaurants in Princeton

"When we want pasta, we go to Macchialina - and not only on Thursdays for their $10 pasta night. This place makes great cavatelli, tagliolini, and lasagna, all of which are good enough to pay full price for and which plenty of people do since you pretty much always need a reservation to eat here. It’s hip, but still a relatively cozy spot, which makes it perfect for date night and a very refreshing option in the world of South Beach restaurants, where things are rarely cozy and you just won’t find pasta this good."

"Italian food can get very expensive to eat in Miami Beach, but Macchialina’s is one place to get your pasta fix for less than $30 per person. They have staples like Lasagna, Caccio e Pepe and Spaghetti, that are of course handmade pasta. However, you can even get Branzino and Veal here if you are cutting down on carbs."

"Restaurants South Beach"

"Casa Tua offers dreamy candlelit outdoor seating surrounded by foliage and lantern-lit trees—a secret hideaway from the tumultuous South Beach. The cocooned exterior makes for an intimate space to enjoy one-on-one conversation over wine, flowers, and Northern Italian cuisine. With its multi-course dinners and balmy night air, this spot is all about taking it slow."

"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."

"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."

"Il Gabiano is another great choice to dine on fine Italian cuisine in the elegant atmosphere of its waterfront terrace. The menu exhibits true Italian class with offerings from fresh pasta made in-house to a glass of limoncello at the end of the night, bringing a taste of Italy to the popular downtown spot. Classic dishes of the spot include the rich Black Truffle Porcini Ravioli and the authentic Branzino al Forno."

"Diners at this Downtown Miami eatery often report a strange sensation; they feel as if they have been to Italy and back. The food, furnishings and staff have managed to create an authentic Italian ambiance that has amazed and delighted customers for over a decade. Coupled with a striking view over Biscayne Bay, it is easy to see why this place has become a firm favorite with Miamians."

"Impress your date at Fiola, an ultra-swanky restaurant by Michelin-starred duo Fabio and Maria Trabocchi. Dazzle your date with classic Italian dishes like the decadent short rib filled pasta, a pristine seafood platter, and hard-to-find vintages that are decanted table-side. Finish the meal with a Peruvian chocolate tart topped with Sicilian pistachios for an oh-so-romantic meal."

"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"

"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."

"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."

"Pasta , Italian"

"Riviera Focacceria Italiana is a casual family-friendly eatery on Buena Vista Boulevard that serves an array of exceptional cuisine from the Italian region of Liguria. In addition to homemade daily pasta, and the iconic pansoti served in a delicate walnut sauce, Riviera Focacceria Italiana's signature dish is the Focaccia Cheese - a double later super-thin dough filled with imported stracchino cheese. Other delights not to be missed include the pesto alla genovese, fresh seafood and fish of the day, grass-fed steaks and veal chops, and heavenly desserts like Nutella tart, mousse di pistacchio, and panna cotta al vino rosso."

"Specializing in cuisine from Liguria, Riviera Focacceria Italiana is famous for its incredible — you guessed it — focaccia with cheese. But their heavenly bread isn’t the only star on the menu; you’ll also love their amazing selection of seafood dishes, like pan-seared red snapper in a white wine sauce, grilled branzino with sauteed artichokes, and seared tuna filet prepared Ligurian-style over pureed chickpeas, with capers, tomatoes, pine nuts, parsley, and Taggiasca olives gremolata. Details: Riviera Focacceria Italiana is located at 3252 NE Buena Vista Blvd, Suite 110, Miami."

"Let the flavors of the Italian coast delight your senses when you dine at Riviera Focacceria Italiana. This restaurant focuses on the unique cuisine of the northwest Italian region of Liguria, a place with a rich culture and mouthwatering tastes. All their dishes are prepared using fresh local ingredients plus authentic Italian products imported weekly, including Stracchino cheese for their famous Focaccia con il Formaggio."

"Cipriani Downtown Miami is high-fashion Italian dining in many ways, from the clientele wearing designer labels to the contemporary cuisine to the space, designed in blue and white by Florentine architect Michele Bonan. Located on the waterfront, the two-level, indoor-outdoor restaurant features Murano glass chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows and decorative elements inspired by luxury yachts and ocean liners. A sibling to the famed Ciprianis worldwide and the original Harry's Bar in Venice, the menu offers Italian luxuries of all kinds: aged Praga ham, homemade ravioli and tortellini, langoustines served scampi-style, and of course Champagne bowls filled with the famed Bellinis, comprising peach puree and Prosecco, that were invented at Harry's."

"Located in downtown Brickell with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the gorgeous outdoor patio and nautical-themed dining room at Cipriani can’t be beat when it comes to finding the perfect place to enjoy a plate of authentic potato gnocchi or a glass of chilled wine. The spot is a favorite thanks to the venue’s chic Miami aesthetic and impeccable dining service. 465 Brickell Ave Miami, FL 33131"

"Cushioned in couture, Politan Row (formerly known as St. Roch Market) is the Design District’s answer to traditional retail dining. From a vegan bakery to a fried chicken stand, this laid-back emporium holds space for an eclectic group of food entrepreneurs to show off their knife skills."

"Named for renowned chef Dena Marino and her partner, Brandy Coletta, MC Kitchen improves the Design District one restaurant at a time. With a mod dining room, open showcase kitchen and communal bar that extends outside the restaurant into the building's hallway, the 145-seat eatery offers such delicacies as whipped squash-filled burrata; artichoke bruschetta topped with a barely-poached egg; pumpkin tortelloni with rabbit ragout; and braised Florida grouper adorned with bright gems of broccoli raab, Calabrese sausage and white clams. Marino's savory menu changes according to the seasonal markets, however, so don't become fixated on one dish (unless it's her house-made mozzarella)."

"A post shared by Pao by Paul Qui (@paofaena) on Mar 14, 2020 at 2:04pm PDT. This beloved award-winning restaurant by Chef Paul Qui blends Asian cuisine with a range of eclectic global influences. You’ll find a little bit of everything here, including bold flavors from Spain, the Philippines, Japan, France, and beyond."

"The grandeur of the Faena is greatly magnified by Pao, the modern Asian restaurant by James Beard winner Paul Qui. Where exactly is the most requested table in the trendiest restaurant on the Beach?. If you guessed the booth underneath the Damien Hirst unicorn statue, then you must be a regular."

"Chef Paul Qui, the winner of James Beard Award in 2012, continues to surprise with his originality!. His new restaurant is all about modern Asian cuisine you haven’t seen before!. You will recognize Pao by a giant statue of a golden unicorn that welcomes everyone who enters the restaurant."

"Gumbo Limbo Trail: This is an easy rated short 0.4-mile (0.64 km) loop trail that provides views of the Everglades ecosystem. It is a quick outing with views of the lake as well."

"When you’re dreaming of Miami, you're dreaming of Lummus Park Beach, a postcard-perfect spot surrounded by historic art deco buildings, high-end hotels, a winding beachfront walkway, and bronzed athletes playing volleyball games on the sandy courts. This beach is full of action and a favorite among tourists looking for the full Miami experience (Muscle Beach and frozen margaritas included). At the heart of Lummus Park, find Miami Beach's LGBTQ+ beach located at the intersection of 12th street, a hotspot during Miami Beach Pride and identifiable year-round by the rainbow flags at each lifeguard station."

"Because South Beach is such a broad description, and the varying beaches here go on for miles, we thought we'd narrow it down. Lummus Park, the area of the beach located along Ocean Drive from 5th to 15th Street, is the all-encompassing South Beach experience. This is the strip of sand that is always the most crowded, which makes for excellent people watching."

"Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews. Cocktail enthusiasts will love the speakeasy-like back room at Coyo Taco – you’ll just walk through the door at the back of the restaurant marked “Staff Only” to access the hidden, dimly-lit mezcal lounge."

"Open every day from 1pm-5am since 1995, Abbey Brewing Co. is Miami Beach’s oldest and only brew pub. At this dive bar, sip one of BrewMaster Raymond Rigazio’s Abbey house beers—which are brewed at the Indian River Brewing Company, in Melbourne, FL—or choose one of ten special Belgian or American microbrews on tap, or hard-to-find Trappist Ales, British Barley wines, port wines and a wide assortment of micro-distilled fine spirits. No matter what you order, be sure break for a cigar and a dart game."

"No Miami beer list is complete without paying its due respects to the Abbey. During South Beach’s models and bottles heyday, The Abbey was brewing delicious hand-crafted beer from its perch off of Lincoln Road. Today, the space has expanded and evolved since its opening in 1995, and features four house taps (including the Immaculate IPA and Brother Aaron’s Quadruple), 10 guest lines, and a solid bar menu."
