But, I loved that we were greeted by the owner, such a great touch. Now to the food and wine. First of all, the wine selection is outstanding, I was speechless. Second, the freshness of the food is simply, sensational. A little piece of Italy right in The Gables. Will stop again soon.

After noting this place had such a high overall rating on Yelp, we were really expecting good…read morethings - and since we like wine bars in general, we were excited to try Sospiro. Our first visit here was on a Tuesday night. We arrived a bit more than an hour before their posted closing time, but the place appeared to be empty. After waiting in the main bar/dining area for a few minutes with no one greeting us (though I could hear people talking back in what I believe is the kitchen) we decided to leave. We returned a few nights later after having dinner at nearby Flemings, were seated right away, given menus and we each ordered a glass of wine. After our wine was poured, we were basically forgotten about and we kind of felt like outsiders here, because most everyone at the bar and seated at 2 or 3 of the tables all seemed to know each other: The guy who'd been our server sat down at a table and ate/drank with the woman there. The guys seated at the bar grabbed glasses and served wine to women sitting at the other 2 stools, but there didn't seem to be any staff simply checking on the rest of us. The one employee who did later check in on some dining patrons was walking around with his 1/2 finished glass of wine in hand while doing so. Needless to say, our 2 visits here were both a bit odd. Service, at least for us was badly lacking, and compared to another wine bar and a few restaurants we patronize in this general area, the pours we were given here at Sospiro were a bit stingy. Sad, too, as we really enjoy good wine spots and were hoping we'd found a solid one in Sospiro. Not the case, at least in our experience.

What a cute hidden gem, tucked away in a residential neighborhood. A part of a local and historic…read morehotel, this outdoor wine bar is truly such a vibe. First, the outdoor setting is just so magical; you really don't feel like you're so close to downtown/Brickell and are, instead, tucked into a little oasis. My husband and I cam for a date night and split a bottle of wine - which you can pick out from their selection inside. Then, we opted for the happy hour charcuterie plate, which was made up of daily selection of meat and cheese - everything was delicious. They also have other food options, as well as pizza. It was a rather relaxed experience and I would definitely recommend for a city escape moment or date night.

The whole place has a relaxed boho-chic feel, with electronic music playing in the background and plenty of outdoor seating. They also have a cute van that's perfect for pictures. We tried a few things and the beef sliders were definitely my favorite. They're small, tasty, and easy to share. I also tried the pork slider, but that one wasn't really for me. Overall, though, the food was good. I kept seeing the pizzas coming out and they looked really good. They have a wood-fired oven, so next time I'm definitely trying one. The staff was friendly, the vibe was fun and relaxed, and I love that they're dog friendly. I'd come back, especially on a nice afternoon or evening when you can really enjoy the outdoor space.

The music was also at the perfect volume, so we could actually enjoy our conversation. The service was excellent! Our waitress Casey was super friendly and welcoming. She explained how the menu worked and gave us some helpful recommendations since it was our first time there. We ordered the patatas bravas, croquetas, flank steak and half seafood paella. My favorites were definitely the patatas bravas, croquetas and flank steak! The patatas bravas were so good and tasted just like the ones you'd have in Spain. It's honestly rare for me to find them done this well in the U.S. The flank steak was also cooked perfectly, super tender and the chimichurri complemented it so well. The croquetas were delicious too! The paella, on the other hand, was just okay. Nothing really stood out about it. I also tried the Passenger Princess cocktail and it was delicious! Super fruity and refreshing. For dessert, we had the flan, which I really enjoyed because it had a nice, firm consistency instead of being watery like at some other places.

I'd heard about Magie for a while from friends in the natural wine scene in Orlando and had to visit while in town. There is convenient (although somewhat limited) parking just to the side of the building, and entering feels like you just entered your cool friend's house. We almost sat inside on a couple of sofas, but opted to brave the humid Miami heat on the back porch/terrace since they were playing the World Cup game on a projection screen. The back is huge and has several sitting areas, including on an elevated porch with fans, as well as couches and bistro tables set up on the pavers down below. There is foliage everywhere and you feel transported (you'd have no clue this business was on a busy road). We got a couple of bottles of wine from their fridges, along with a smattering of shareable dishes from the kitchen (ordered inside). Everything was delightful and we were loving life (again- even in the humid summer heat!). I'd definitely return and enjoy the interior next time. Love a good wine and nosh spot and this is solidly at the top of my list when visiting Miami!

Seems good but you end up paying 35 + 15% auto grat + 3% card fee and it ends up to be 45$ per person. Its literally the same as just buying one of their already expensive 50$ bottles. If your in a group, it makes no sense. Also got a parking ticket so watch out. Auto service charge at a place with no actual table service also feels off..

I came in for their "habibi dinner" pop-up and loved the entire experience. They we're serving spanish/lebanese bites and the fusion just fit so perfectly. Truly like nothing I had tried before. I loved it!

One of my favorite things about this place is the outdoor seating! It has such a cozy, intimate vibe with a unique ambiance that makes you want to sit back, sip your wine, and stay awhile. It's the kind of place that feels special without being overly fancy. They offer cheese and charcuterie options, and I love that you can pick out your own meats, cheeses, and bread to create your own little spread to pair with your wine. It makes the experience feel more personal, and everything pairs perfectly with a good glass of wine. They also have a great selection of wines to explore!

I'm happy for the owners that it's always so busy, because clearly they're doing something right, but that's also the one thing that sometimes deters me from going. I miss the old days when it felt a little more quaint and you could actually find a spot to sit down and hang out. I love how relaxed and unfussy the whole experience is. You grab your cheeses and hams, they put together a nice little board for you, and you just settle in and enjoy. I still haven't tried the steak, but every time I see and smell it cooking, it looks amazing. And you really can't beat the live musical acts they bring in. Some of the best musicians in Miami come through here, and I love that about it. Lagniappe is just one of those places that feels unpretentious and home-like, the kind of place you always want to come back to.

He wasn't simply trying to increase the check; he truly listened and wanted to ensure we had the best possible experience.
