Top Best Italian Restaurants in Tamiami

"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."

"Pasta , Italian"

"This swanky spot located in Downtown Miami sits right on the water in the back of the unsuspecting One Miami condo building that boasts a fully covered patio area. It’s one of those places with impressive white glove service that keeps guests coming back. Expect a large bread basket, chunks of Parmesan cheese, bruschetta, and fried zucchini to appear before menus are even opened or any ordering has taken place."

"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."

"If romance to you means big bucks and high caloric intake, this splurge-worthy Italian restaurant is your best option. Try Il Gabbiano’s crowd-pleasing pastas, which include a creamy fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti carbonara. Or maybe you crave the incredibly tender filet of beef with Barolo wine sauce."

"transplant by a Michelin-starred chef, Fiola is a updated take on traditional Italian cuisine in an elegant setting. Guests can select from la carte menus featuring contemporary twists on Italian classics during from lunch into happy hour and dinner. Signature dishes like the lobster ravioli with ginger and chives; cacio e pepe; charred octopus; and grilled Australian lamb are favorites among those who often frequent the restaurant."

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."

"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..."

"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."

"Intimate Italian food, made by actual Italians The quaint, private Italian restaurant is a romantic tradition, and Miami’s best offering is Soya & Pomodoro, set inside an old bank building. Mismatched furniture dots the dining room, giving the feeling of discovering a random family-run hole-in-the-wall somewhere in Italy. It’s quiet and secluded, with Italian servers and homemade pasta ramping up the authenticity."

"There exists an earnest, unpretentious beauty to Soya & Pomodoro. Like some strangely seductive and rustic trattoria that you might accidentally stumble upon on an ancient cobblestone side street of Venice or Rome. “Simple food made with love” is the motto here."

"Even as modern, fusion cuisine and other more exotic dining options gain popularity, there will always be a place for traditional Italian-American restaurants like Anacapri. The menu isn't anything fancy, but it's full of the kind of unforgettable, simple dishes that keep regulars coming back. The vivid red tomato sauce ensures that everything from the lasagna to the manicotti and the veal Parmesan is full of flavor, and most dishes are topped with a generous portion of melted cheese."

"Anacapri's is an excellent choice for dinner whether you're going on a nice date or just having a jeans-and-t-shirt dinner with friends. The food is excellent and reasonable, the service is always congenial, and the attached Italian market has a great selection of imported meats, cheeses and fresh pasta. Reservations recommended."

"Case in point, Cibo Wine Bar, whose outlet in SoFi doesn't just have 3,500 bottles of wine, it boasts them. Not content to just mention the selection, it's placed a two-story glass case of them right in the middle of the 12,000sqft restaurant, and -- this being Miami -- there are "wine angels" in spandex and fishnet stockings dangling from the ceiling to pick out your selection. They pair nicely with the house-made pastas & sauces and wood-oven pizzas."

"The number of girl’s night out dinners that have taken place at Cibo Wine Bar is probably way higher than one would expect. This Italian cuisine is one for the books. Seriously, the menu is on point."

"The South Beach location of the incredibly popular red-sauce focused eatery serves up the same high-end takes on classic Italian-American dishes that its New York City counterpart has since 2012 like its famous spicy rigatoni in a vodka sauce; the Caesar salad “alla ZZ” that is prepared table-side; veal chop parmesan; and more — alongside some serious old school vibes, potent cocktails, and plenty of people watching."

"The New York transplant is trending, with reservations booked up a month in advance. The wait is worth it to experience the Old World charm that Mario Carbone and his partners, Jeff Zalaznick and Rich Torrisi, have created. The restaurant is a tribute to classic New York City red-sauce joints — with a modern (and pricey) update."

"Its popularity means that booking is essential, as sometimes tables are booked for up to a month in advance. The restaurant is owned by Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrist. The trio created a restaurant with the Old World charm of the Italian restaurants in New York."

"This Italian style eatery has an assortment of meat and cheese breakfast sandwiches in the morning and pizza for lunch and dinner. We came for breakfast and were enamored with the fresh baked bread here. I hear the pizza and especially the crust are even better and definitely worth coming here later in the day."

"One of my favourite places to eat in South Beach which was ultra affordable was Andrix Cafe. We ended up having lunch here a couple of times in the 4 days we stayed in South Beach. Andrix Cafe has super yummy pizza and drinks available as well as free Wifi."

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what its board members had in mind. The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, as well as incorporating new ones."

"South Florida – a land of escaped slaves, guerrilla Native Americans, gangsters, land grabbers, pirates, tourists, drug dealers and alligators – has a special history, and it takes a special kind of museum to... Top ChoiceMuseum in Downtown Miami"

"Wynwood is a hip neighborhood just north of downtown that features a beautiful fenced enclosure of some of the freshest art available. Wynwood Walls are a group of several building facades regularly painted by commissioned artists. No matter if this is the first or 100th trip to Miami, there is always something new to photograph and see."

"Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant when we first arrived in Wynwood. After parking in an enormous lot of an industrial-looking area, I found myself wondering where all the “pretty stuff” was. It was honestly a bit overwhelming."

"Our last day was spent at the creative Wynwood Walls art exhibit. Beautiful mosaics are spread across a few blocks on streets and on buildings, even on the sidewalks!"

"The original Homestead Town Hall was built more than a century ago and has been converted into a museum boasting one of the area’s most complete collections of historic memorabilia related to the town. The items on display include vintage photographs, historical documents, and other unique tidbits of local interest; there’s even an old fire engine that was retired long ago. The Homestead Historic Town Hall Museum is located on North Krome Avenue and doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic, so it’s quite possible that visitors will have the place to themselves."
