    Pasta, clams and olive oil - I've never dreamed of food before . . .
    Shawna S.

    Miami has some excellent restaurants. Baiocco a/k/a Osteria del Mare is newest and superior to the best I've had in town. The owner, Claudio, is not new to the business, having successfully opened Alta Mar in south beach over a decade ago. He brings the same winning formula for exceptional food and service to the northern Biscayne corridor and adds a hefty helping of ambience and atmosphere. This is my newest regional favorite. On entry, the space has a deja vu. Like stepping in to the home of a beloved relative; plaster walls decorated with cooking utensils, signs and posters memorializing Italian heritage. We were led to a table in the outside rear courtyard. Simple brick decking, cream colored umbrellas and strings of lights set a peaceful tone. Music, distant and subtle, neither interferes nor distracts. Servers are headlessly busy, but pleasant and available on the spot. Menus offer broad options but lack complication. A basket of fresh bread with chewy crust and a tasty, sweet balsamic to dunk. Starting with the fried artichokes, the tone is firmly set. Simple and delicious - no overpowering sauce, just a bit of olive oil, salt and lemon. Followed quickly by a large butter lettuce platter with cherry tomatoes and avocado in a light vinaigrette. Enough for 2. A whole fried snapper is served. Crispy skin cooked to golden and mysteriously seasoned over flaky white fish. Flying forks stabbing for prime ground as squeezed lemon sprays over; a second whole fish -pompano- filleted at table side and served with a light butter sauce that delicately compliments. Sadly, no photos of either fish! It was a case of attack and eat or watch and be hungry. A bowl of spaghetti appears soon after, dressed with fresh clams and a silky coating of olive oil. I've never experienced a perfect al dente before. So exact, I lament my inability to reproduce the precision in my kitchen. Closing out the meal, a fig and nut tart. Beautifully layered with a gentle sweetness and nutty crunch. Outstanding. Start to finish, dining is choreographed from an experienced history of perfection by Claudio who is cordial, charming, professional and most important, passionate about his food and service. Competitively and reasonably priced. This is Miami's finest gem, rivaling and rising above the rest of the more elite venues. If there is an accolade above 5 stars, it was unarguably earned.

    Authentic & Rustic. I came to Baiocco for a casual dinner and had a wonderful time. The service here is very attentive and you are welcomed with much enthusiasm the moment you step in the door. Though parking may appear to be a hassle, there is a valet option available that is only tip. With a reservation already made in advance, we were quickly seated and attended to. Our waiter was a young man who patiently explained the specials of the evening and made note of the vegetarian request at our table. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care taken to ensure our visit was great...this is something I wish I saw more at other restaurants. I also enjoyed the extensive wine list that allows flexibility with accordance to your dish. As for the food, we had the: Bread - cold, but sometimes that is common at restaurants. Mixed varieties of bread served. Went well with balsamic + olive oil, and my wine. Pappardelle al Pesto con Pistacchi - this dish sounds incredible, and it was indeed delicious. However, I found it to be a bit dry...potentially due to pappardelle being a more dry, egg pasta and coupled with pistachio. Gnudi di Spinaci e Ricotta - this dish was my favorite. I was a bit sad that the portion was slightly smaller than anticipated, in relation to the price, but that is mainly because it was so delicious. The tomato sauce was one of the best that I've had, packed with zest and notes of garlic. Torta Cioccolato e Pere - hmm, I would have to say that I was bit disappointed with this dessert. For $7, it was basically a layer of chocolate mousse on a graham cracker crust with one sliver of pear. It was a real letdown as I envisioned something totally different and when pear was mentioned, I thought it would be incorporated throughout the dish. Overall, I share some mixed feelings about Baiocco. Though the dishes were authentic and delicious, I feel for the price it may be a bit unbalanced, especially relative to portion-size. I do have to say that the hospitality of the restaurant was really excellent. As we were leaving, we were handed a small parting gift of freshly-baked cantucci. We were also offered a taste of one of their homemade baked goods. What would definitely bring me back here is the exceptional care the owner and staff go to making their guests welcome.

    Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
    Suchitra J.

    The food here is absolutely spectacular! I got the TONNARELLI CACIO E PEPE and it was divine. Definitely an excellent option for vegetarians. I was in Italy six month ago and this was the best pasta I've had since Italy. It tastes fairly authentic - which makes sense as the Chef is from Rome! I would recommend this place for the food alone. The service was slightly slow, however we were there on a busy day (Valentine's day) and they were slightly short staffed. I would come back on a regular day to have more of this yummy pasta!

    This is a great new place, opened about a couple of weeks ago, Claudio welcomed us and was really great, we sat in the outdoor patio which is lovely, food was great. We had the Tuna Crudo and the Timballo di Melanzane, both very very tasty and then we shared the Linguine Gran Piatto di Mare, really super, this is definitely a new favorite, you guys should try it, I loved it

    I had heard great things about their Stuffed Zucchini blossoms . I was surprised to learn that the chef who made those is no longer here and they've changed their entire menu. The ambiance is very nice, especially the dimmed lights and lovely music in the background (ideal for a date) They're very attentive but not overbearing, which I like ...I ordered some carpaccio and will have the lamb chops and the grouper ...verdict coming up soon. thumbs up .. If you're liking for a simple yet classy dining experience, I would strongly recommend this place .

    Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe special with tuna. And the gricia.
    Alejandro S.

    First time dining here and loved it. This place is basically a home converted into a restaurant. Small and intimate setting perfect for a date or a nice night out with friends. The service was excellent. The fried artichoke was the best I've had outside of Italy. The gricia was phenomenal as well.

    Amazing experience. The owner Emanuel is as good as his homemade pastas ! Best octopus is ever had too..great wine. The atmosphere is perfect. A real gem!!!!

    Delicious! This summarized my experience at Baiocco. As someone that truly loves Italian food and also who is very picky with it, you can certainly appreciate a place that truly knows what is al dente pasta as many location tend to make it hard and raw. Here is the breakdown: Food I went there twice in a week and truly enjoy the pasta. The pappardelle all'antica was to die for. Definitely a must for those that enjoy meat and red sauce. Simply delicious. Not a big artichoke person, but truly well done there. The carbonara was amazing, very tasty and it didn't feel heavy after eating it. Vibe/ decor The restaurant is inside a house and it is very easy to miss it if you are driving by Biscayne. The restaurant is very cute inside and giving that rustic chic vibe to it. Service The waiters are all very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. Other items Valet only. Tips only and no overpriced rate. Overall Had such a good time. Always a plus,

We got lucky and the hostess actually seated us almost right away. The staff is amazing and friendly. Usually on big holidays restaurants in Miami are short staffed and service always suffers. Osteria's energy was warm and beyond welcoming. We ordered the calamari again and it was wonderfully crispy. For our Entrees we had the steak with a side of asparagus and pappardelle ossobuco. Steak was perfectly seasoned. The veal pasta sauce was out of this world. Honestly I think stopping by Osteria might be our Christmas Eve tradition from now on. I couldn't have had a better Christmas Eve with my family.

    An opulent failed attempt at fine dining…read more At first glance, the place is impressive -- beautiful cars outside, constant traffic of guests walking in, crisp white tablecloths setting the stage for what appears to be a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the illusion fades rather quickly. The first sign of trouble arrives with the server sporting a rather impressive lip piercing, followed closely by a colleague whose diamond nose stud could probably be seen from space. Not exactly the ambiance one expects when aiming for "elegant." Despite the abundance of servers floating around the dining room, none seem to notice when your knife dramatically dives off the table and lands on the floor -- where it enjoys a long, lonely stay. Water service is also quite innovative: they simply leave the entire bottle at the table, which seems less about generosity and more about avoiding the inconvenience of returning to refill your glass. The food? Sadly just as uninspired. From the octopus to the $68 Milanese, every dish managed the impressive feat of being completely flavorless. The Milanese arrived with a beautiful crust, which raised hopes... until you realized there was no sauce, no garnish, and nothing to rescue what turned out to be a remarkably bland plate. Meanwhile, the staff appears deeply committed to minimizing effort -- though not shy about judging you directly when the tip doesn't meet their expectations. All in all, this place feels like fine dining in costume. Perhaps a return to the basics of hospitality and service would be a good start... followed by a serious conversation with whoever is currently in the kitchen. Good luck to anyone brave enough to give it a try.

The fried calamari was very good but had more artichoke than calamari. Expected more calamari for the price. We don't mind paying for high quality food but they missed the mark with these dishes. Also, the portions were ridiculously tiny for the price you paid. Not a good value and neither dish was memorable. I'm very sorry that I forgot to take pictures of the dishes. On a positive note the service was top notch. Our bartender was professional and friendly.
