"A Scarpetta alum helms this tiny, brick-walled taverna, serving handmade corzetti with garlic scapes and asparagus, and spaghetti con gamberi with Key West shrimp and Calabrese chiles, as well as roasted branzino and cabbage cacio e pepe. Unlike your average red sauce joint, the bar pours excellent craft cocktails (including The Speck-tacular Now, featuring honey clove syrup, Jamaican bitters and speck-infused Tin Cup whiskey) as well as an extensive list of Italian and international wines.

"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."

"Macchialina is energetic enough for a fun date or a catch-up meal with loud friends, and they debuted a great outdoor seating setup during the pandemic. It’s covered, too, in case you’re worried about random thunderstorms. But the atmosphere isn’t necessarily why you go to Macchialina - you come here for the pasta."

"It would seem easy enough to recreate a sauce as simple as pecorino cheese and black pepper pasta by your own damn self. But for the same reason you’ve never been able to mix Monster and malt liquor to re-create Four Loko, you just can’t seem to do it the same as Casa Tua. So go ahead and order a big bowl of it at home -- it’s enough for almost two meals.Cost: $21; available for delivery on Uber Eats, Postmates, and Grubhub"
