Outside

Overpriced small cafe inside a busy mall. Waffles and pancakes were decent. Paying for parking is always a pain as well.

We had several hours wait post cruise/pre flight and found this caffe inside a shopping center. We were very pleasantly impressed with the quality of pastries - we went with a nutella crepe and is was delightful!!!

Waffle with berries.

For being located in the food area of The Grand (hotel/Condominium) in downtown Miami, it was surprisingly good. Their prices only were $4.00 lower online than in the restaurant, but being in what I consider a tourist location didn't really expect different. Three silver dolls size pancakes, were, light and fluffy but strawberry compote was lacking something. The waffle was good, but a little undercooked. Just remember where it is located so you are not surprised by the $16.00 for pancakes and waffles that do not really come with anything.

Nutella French toast

Very expensive. No sides with meals. Staff wasn't very friendly. Food was delicious but for two people it was almost $60

(From March, 2023) Located in the small shopping area near the Marriott, I found this as I was looking for some coffee/breakfast while walking around. It's your typical coffee/pastry place that's not a Starbucks but has the characteristics from those places with the baked goods display, sounds of steamers producing milk foam, the sizzle of the sandwich press, and chatter amongst the patrons who sit inside or outside. I went with my usual latte w/ whatever sugar-free flavor they have (vanilla in this case) and a breakfast sandwich w/ turkey. The woman at the front got me rang up and my stuff was produced timely with a smile from her. Got my items to go and headed back to my room to eat and chill. The latte was filling although I couldn't taste the vanilla flavor. The breakfast sandwich is on a croissant so it's flaky with a buttery taste. Cheese could've been more melted but the taste is there with the turkey and eggs. It's a bit pricier than your normal coffee places but that's Miami for you. The place is clean inside and outside but be cautious of the people who frequent here. There was an older guy outside who had a nasty attitude and kept harrassing people sitting outside. The main reason why I didn't stay there and got my order to go. Don't got the time or energy dealing with those kinds of lifeforms. For a place that's not Starbucks, it's a decent breakfast/coffee option near the hotel.

Found this yummy breakfast spot in the mall in the hotel I was staying at. This location opens early and had espresso which I need to function! We ordered the egg, ham and cheese croissant as well as the egg bacon cheese sandwich. We put the order in at the counter and it was brought out to the table. I enjoyed my sandwich and my husband said the croissant was nice and flaky. We sat at one of the tables in the mall and enjoyed a solid breakfast.

Breakfast Sandwich

Tasty latte and breakfast sandwich. Quick & friendly service. A great quiet spot in the Doubletree Hilton hotel lobby.

Clockwise: quiche and salad, Nutella croissant and cappuccino

If you're not into quince then skip this review. I was staying nearby and strolled over for some breakfast. The place was a little hard to find because it's actually inside the "mall" area of another hotel. After I located it, I grab a table and ordered. Due to the quiche being premade I wasn't expecting the quiche to be so good. Fluffy top, crispy dough, excellent flavor btw I ordered the bacon. Also the croissant was super flaky and warm and perfect Nutella ratio to dough!!! It even came with a salad with a yummy vinegarette. Couldn't place the flavor but it was delicious. Topped it off with Cappuccino that I did not need sugar for and that's rare. Overall, decent service and great pricing as well

Chloe T.

$20us for latte & ham & cheese croissant. A good place for a quick breakfast to start the day. Conveniently located next to a variety of hotels. Friendly staff.

Egg and cheese croissant
Stephen S.

This is a nice little quick grab and go shop. Food was good. When we arrived there was a long line, but it moves very fast. If you're in the area and you need something quick and good I highly recommend this place. Everyone I was with enjoyed their food.

Friendly staff, delicious food, strong coffee! I've dined at Caffe & Bottega for breakfast or lunch and it's always a hit. Their quiche and croissant breakfast options are always a good idea. If you're a coffee lover, do not skip out on their double espresso (with a tiny splash of milk)! You'll be set for the rest of the day. The location is typically bustling with customers, and the staff is always attentive, friendly, and prompt to take your order and provide seating. There's a communal table to accommodate larger parties or shared dining, as well as separate tables for 1-3 guests. The restaurant is located inside of the Doubletree by Hilton Grand Hotel, which offers valet parking. Despite it not being outdoors, it still has a bit of a bistro vibe, and I believe you can bring your pup along.

Best French toast in Miami! Fresh, homemade dishes. Very nice staff who will explain anything on the menu. Small but Super cute corner location inside the mall at the Doubletree Grand. It was nice not having to leave the hotel to access this great cafe.

THE BEST DATE-NIGHT ROMANTIC SPOT IN MIAMI…read more Pane y Vino is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right: charming, delicious, romantic, and completely unique. The décor has so much personality, and the entire experience feels wonderfully old-school--from the attentive service to the little details that make you feel genuinely taken care of. The owner is lively, charismatic, and absolutely charming, faithfully tending to her guests and making the whole room feel warm and personal. And then there's the food. The carpaccio was exceptional: paper-thin slices of fresh beef topped with delicately sliced mushrooms and a unique lemon crème that made the whole dish sing. The mussels were enormous, served in a spicy tomato broth so delicious you'll want to finish it with a spoon. Just when you think it can't get any better, dessert arrives. Homemade, gourmet, and prepared right at your table--and somehow it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. It's genuinely spectacular. The surprise hint of Nutella hidden beneath the delicate finger cookies takes it completely over the top. And if you love eggplant parmigiana, theirs is top of the line. The portions are hearty, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and experience, and the atmosphere is made for a romantic night out. One warning: make your reservation in advance. Pane y Vino gets packed, and once you experience it, you'll understand why.

One always think "if they have good ingredients they're going to be good" but apparently, Pane e Vino misses this notion: they have the best ingredients for sure but also the master hand of incredible chefs that make every dish unique. My mum had the Cannelloni di la Nonna, smooth, and delicious. My dad had the Maltagliatti, and he didn't talk after he finished. I was celebrating my birthday. And I asked for the Alla Ruotta, but with Pappardelle. Made Al dente, this pasta was smooth, with a a sauce that merged the best Italian tomatoes, and the best Parmigiano Reggiano. I added cheese on top of it, but that's because I'm an absolute fan. Then after they sang Happy Birthday to me - something I didn't ordered - they provided the table with THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIRAMISÙ I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY EXISTENCE. Don't ask the ingredients, enjoy. You're absolutely welcome. Creamy, soft, fresh, all done at the very moment. It makes you question why this restaurant doesn't have a Michelin star... While the concept is the classic "Italian Hole-in-the-wall" and the ambiance is quiet, ideal for a romantic date, with dim lighting and soft music, there's always an artist making pasta at the window, and there's always time for the chiacchiere with Angelo. His stories of life and recipes are great, but also some Juventus talk, and how football evolves... amazing... amazing. Amazing food. Amazing people. Grazie mile, Marco e Angelo! Divina cuccina, divina famiglia! Un grande abbraccio argentino.

The menu focuses on Roman-style Italian cuisine, and everything we tried was delicious. We ordered the zucchini flowers, ricotta gnocchi, mushroom pizza, cacio e pepe, and banana dessert to share. Our standout favorites were the ricotta gnocchi, cacio e pepe, and banana dessert. These are the three dishes I would absolutely recommend ordering! Between the beautiful ambiance with dim lighting, attentive service, and delicious food, Mother Wolf is definitely worth a visit, especially for a date night or dinner with friends. I would happily return to try more of the menu!

The menu is concise, to the point and mainly focused on traditional and/or comfort food in this case Italian. I can't believe I had it saved for so many years but today I got to experience some of the best food I've had in the city with the most remarkable service ever. This is a family owned restaurant and as a customer I felt as family too. Beto, the owner, makes you feel like part of his extended family from the moment you step foot in the joint and all throughout your culinary adventure. I hadn't made reservations and he made sure to find me a table for one even though it was super busy at the time. He also recommended a few dishes but ultimately convinced me to try one of the chef's specials which I've been talking about till this day. His staff is also very attentive and diligent. Having said that let me break down what I ate with a nice chilled glass of wine: Antipasto: Burratina...Fresh homemade burrata mozzarella on top of thin slices of prosciutto, basil and extra-virgin olive oil. Served with roasted red peppers and tomatoes. All fresh and with high quality ingredients without a doubt. I wanted something light before the pasta and this was very filling so I couldn't finish it but... Entre: Chef's special...Pappardelle Patagonia. Green flat homemade noodle with vodka sauce, Italian sausage, pancetta, mushrooms and fresh herbs. This was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life. Perfectly cooked "al dente" with a creamy vodka sauce that'd have you wanting to lick the damn plate. That Italian sausage was also so divine and they don't skimp on portions or ingredients. I'm glad Beto suggested this one instead of the Pappardelle Italian sausage. Dolci: cheesecake. I have no idea how I still had a little bit of room for dessert after that feast but this cheesecake was all worth it. Not overly sweet and very rich and velvety. This is arguably one of the best Italian joints in town. Just delicious Italian comfort food made with love and excellent service to got with it. Beto offered an espresso to end this extraordinary meal. He takes the time to go to every table and make sure customers are taken care of and that's what makes the difference. These are the type of restaurants that leave a lasting impression on their patrons and make them come back time after time.

The hostesses (2) told us 45', we agreed. I asked to go to the bar to have drinks, we were told we couldn't (the bar had some open seats). I said OK, I'll order the drink and we wait outside, hostess was annoyed at that suggestion. She said if we wanted a drink, we'd have to go to their sister restaurant (which was packed). After 1hr 15' (we stayed outside waiting, no drinks), we checked in and the hostess rudely told us that she can't foresee when people will leave. So we took our $350 check to Hillstones, where they value regulars. We have dined at Luca before and love their food, but seems like success has gotten to the hostess' heads. Restaurants, especially in Miami, succeed and survive from the loyal locals, not from tourists nor fads. Seems that Luca has forgotten that. We're happy to take our business elsewhere, even a chain restaurant who values repeat customers.

For the price, the value was simply not there. The tiny table made the experience even worse, leaving almost no room for plates, drinks, or personal items. Instead of enjoying the meal, I felt cramped and uncomfortable the entire time. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. Charging premium prices while serving such small portions is embarrassing. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. Shame on them!!!! Please don't go.
