If you are a regular/familiar with the miami restaurant scene, It's all about how you feel at the end of the night- at this dinner the manager made it right. Btw if you want your pasta to be served alongside your main protein choice tell your server and make sure he understands. Otherwise you will be eating it separately. That being said, over all the food & portions were good. We were a group of 8 and ordered many dishes. Some worth mentioning were the prawns in green sauce, the Branzino and the steak. Yes.... Will go back again.

There were still several tables available, but I was told that most were being kept outside because of the rain--even though the rain had stopped. I couldn't help but feel a little dismissed because I was dining alone, especially after I mentioned that it was my last night in Miami and that I had really been looking forward to experiencing this restaurant. Thankfully, a kind gentleman graciously invited me to join him at his table, which completely turned the evening around. As for the food, the experience was fantastic. They started us with cheese, meat, and fresh bread, all of which was delicious. We ordered the Octopus Pizzaiolo appetizer, and it was absolutely to die for. I had the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, while he had the Dover Piccata, both were excellent. Finished off with the Hazelnut Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream (not pictured) Our server was also a gem and kept us laughing throughout the meal, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Despite the rocky start, the food and service once I was seated made for a memorable last night in Miami.

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.

Where tradition meets indulgence, savor the depth of flavors in our signature Ossobuco alla Milanese.

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.

Very disappointing experience…read more I ordered the seafood pasta, priced at $34, and was shocked by how small the portion was. The dish felt more like an appetizer than an entrée. 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.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was served quickly, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The food is the highlight. The pasta is freshly made, with a satisfyingly chewy texture and a rich yet not overly greasy sauce. The creamy truffle pasta, seafood pasta, and lasagna are particularly popular. The pizza crust is thin and crispy, with fresh toppings, and the overall flavor is quite close to traditional Italian style. For dessert, the tiramisu is highly recommended; it's delicate and not overly sweet. The portions are generous, and while the price is slightly higher than average compared to other restaurants, considering the quality of the ingredients and the overall dining experience, it's still worth the money. The only minor drawback is that it gets very crowded during peak hours, so there might be a queue. The restaurant can also be quite noisy, so the wait can be a bit long without a reservation.

If I were managing a restaurant, or any other service company, I would want to know about any negative events so they could be addressed directly with the customers.
