Mixed feelings about Boia De: The great: Service, very efficient and friendly Vibes and ambience The good: Wine list Chopped salad The not so good: The flavors and execution were not at the same level as everything else and what would be reasonably expected at a place like Boia De read more

I first heard about this place after looking for some tacos I once ate called the Pollita. I can tell you these were one of the best tacos I have ever eaten. It was a food truck, simple concept rich in flavor and color! A hidden Gem. Then I heard that Boia de was from the same people, and that the Pollita closed. Sad story. I will be concise, I am not a foodie but I love food, I hate paying overpriced food and taste is everything. BOIA DE is the opposite of La POLLITA, overpriced, overhyped, overdone. I understand the art and the decoration of the dishes but I am sorry this place is not worth your time, money and appetite. I will be fair, if you are into tasting different flavors... maybe you will enjoy the experience. But to be honest there is NOTHING special about it. Is any dish better than a shake shake burger... NOP! Summary: dish presentation 8/10 Pricey 10/10 Environment 7/10 Date to impress 8/10 (just because food looks good) Satisfying 2/10 Worth the wait 1/10 Ok... the the tiramisu was ok! read more

DELICIOUS !! Hands down recommend. They open up reservations about 4 weeks ahead and fill up FAST! You can find them on Resy. Intimate place with great character and even better service. The menu is small, but everything on it is delicious. They ask that you put in your order all at once and the kitchen will coarse out for you. The crudo (not pictured) is light and incredibly refreshing -- the perfect amount of lime. It's topped with jalapeño shaved ice!! Just wow. The Bufala Ricotta Gnocchi Alla Norma was fluffy & fantastic with a creamy tomato sauce. The sauce was so good, we ordered a side of toasted bread to clean the gnocchi plate (10/10 recommend). The Lamb Ribs were tender and juicy accompanied by a sauce that added a nice kick. For dessert, we had the carrot cake with ginger Ice cream and the tiramisu. Both great, but really enjoyed the tiramisu. Just the right amount of crunch and fluffiness. read more

Perfect in food and service. The lamb ribs, arguably a deconstructed Big Mac, are outrageously fall off the bone delicious with artisanal pickles and a little spice. Must eat. read more

Damn this place is insane, you can't go wrong everything on the menu is divine. My favorite dishes include the scallop ceviche, beef tartare, gnocchi and rabbit pasta. It's so worth the wait and it definitely lives up to the hype! read more

A new great local spot tucked away in the corner of the shopping area, this gem knocked my taste buds out the park. Upon entering I was given a hearty welcome. The space is quaint with minimal seating space so reservations are recommended. The decor is bold yet simple. This restaurant is great for a date night or a quick bite and a glass of wine. The wine list is extensive. The cocktails are curated by Veronica who has a great vision for her creations. There are a few craft beers on tap but not many. To start we had the baked clams. They were so amazing we ordered extra. Broiled to perfection and laid out on the most beautiful dish, it was clear from the beginning a lot of care and attention to detail was put into this menu. Next we enjoyed the beef tartar. It had capers and the sauce was wonderful and creamy. Served with warm pieces of toasted bread it was a hit as well to say the least. As an entree I had the rabbit pasta. The meat was delectable and cooked til it was soft, served over house made pasta, I finished every bite. The cold prep for food is done in the front of house and the bar lines the restaurant so you can have a very immersive culinary experience or you can be seated at a table and enjoy a private dinner. Whatever the occasion I suggest you create a reason to visit this new hot spot. Thank you again to Bianca for wonderful evening as she facilitated our great experience. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Boia De - Loving the quaint space. Great signature dishes and wonderful wine selection - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

The best food in miami! We had to make a reservation one month in advance but it was totally worth the wait ! The pasta is fresh and tons of veggie options. It's so cute inside. Yummy desserts. We will be back! read more

After experiencing Walrus Rodeo I was excited to get to try Boia De, i was not disappointed. Food was excellent, the Beef Tartare was exceptional, the pasta as well. But the true star of this restaurant is the crispy tiramisu!!! Wow! I do not like tiramisu and I could not get enough. Dark Chocolate Budino was also so really good! read more

Sometimes you eat a meal that's so damn good, the instant the food hits your mouth you know you will never forget it. That was last night's meal at Boia De. The group that I was with decided to order 11 things, none of which missed. To spare you the process of reading comments on every items, here are the top 3 (plus a dessert item): -Chicken Liver Pate - one member of the group said it was the best thing we ate all night, and the rest of us agreed it was in our top 2. The pate was so rich, smooth, and creamy that I felt like I could eat it by the spoonful and still not get enough to satisfy my craving. The perfect bite was taking some of the perfectly toasted bread, getting a hearty spread of the pate, and finishing it off with a healthy topping of the strawberry jam.. it just doesn't get better than this. -Rabbit Roulade - this was my personal favorite dish of the night as I thought it was not only an utterly delicious meal, but it was technically brilliant. The rabbit was cooked to perfection while the mayo and pesto that accompany it were simply incredible. If I could only order one item again, it would be the rabbit. This is a dish I won't be forgetting for quite some time. -Gnocchi - simply delectable. No gnocchi I've had comes close to this one. The pasta itself was the epitome of what you want a gnocchi to be: light and airy but still full of flavor. The sauce was just a little spicy to add that much needed heat to the dish, and the earthy (rather appalling looking) spread on the bottom complimented the rest of the dish brilliantly. -Tiramisu - I've had a lot of tiramisu in my life. It's a dessert I really enjoy, but have also come to accept the fact that they're all the same: overly moist lady fingers, too much cinnamon and cream, not enough coffee. I think that the reason why I will never forget this tiramisu is because it truly broke the mold. The cream:cinnamon:lady finger ratio was spot on. Additionally, the lady fingers were crunchy which added MUCH needed texture to an otherwise texture-less dessert. To top it all off, there was just enough salt in the dish to give me the one thing I crave in everything I eat: salty & sweet. Simply put - Boia De is one of the best restaurants in Miami. The ambiance is so enticing, the service was immaculate, and the food makes you want to tell everyone you know about the meal you just ate (I know I did). read more

I've wanted to go for awhile and this place lived up to the hype! It's a Michelin quality food in a chill but upbeat environment. We loved everything and thought the price point was great for the quality of food/portion size. We will definitely be back. read more

Genuinely excellent people here...so pleasant, thoughtful, and creative. An easy way to articulate this can be seen in this picture...the gentleman that was taking care of us split a latte - who does that? He whipped out two handmade, adorable mugs and split a latte - I never even considered such a thing before. Earlier in the night, the chef personally brought out a dish to us and explained it as he presented it. Did I mention that they have these epic t-shirts printed with a menagerie of mystically colored mushrooms in retro miami fashion? Designed by the hostess! Oh, and the food was pretty good too ;) Try the mocktail. read more

Words can't fully describe how delicious this food is. Loved all of the dishes. Favorites were the saffron tagliatelle alla vongole, pappardelle alla lepre, and veal sweetbreads. Incredible flavors and great textures! Amazing service (staff are all very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable) and cool environment. Please do yourself a favor and try it out! read more

Really enjoyed the food here. Everything was really tasty although I must say drinks were on the small side and ambiance is not quite there. Feels like you are at a cheap sushi restaurant design wise. Having said that food was tasty and service outstanding. I personally enjoyed the apps a bit more than pastas. I though the pastas were good but not that creative (we had a special pasta and rabbit pasta) read more

So it was good as an average. I wasn't knocked off my seat for the most part but that truffle gnocchi was AHMAZING. the tortellini wasn't hot enough and cooked enough for my liking. Also feel like the portions were tiny for the prices. Loved the vibe but felt like I was missing some other cool enough. read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant looking for information about reservations, the employees are very rude and when my wife spoke in Spanish they completely ignored her. Later the bartender spoke to us and told us that we had to leave that they were in a meeting and to return at 5:30. We do not plan to return to this place because the quality of the food is important, but also good treatment and respect for customers who come to a place to receive good service and in the end it is the customer who keeps your doors open. I do not recommend this restaurant at all! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. The staff is amazing, the plates are great, including the dessert. This was my third time at Boia De but one of my favorites since I tried the best pasta dish ever and that is the Gnocchi Norcina is GENIUS! read more

Boia De - Gnocchi with shaved truffle - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

This restaurant is definitely overrated. I was expecting something spectacular or surprising, but unfortunately did not feel that was the case. We had the potato skins, the beef tartare, the gnocchi with truffles, the bone marrow, and the carrot cake, as well as two spiced mocktails. The potato skins: the straciatella is a good choice to balance the heaviness and richness of the potato, BUT the potato was not cooked properly. Something was off and it didn't feel as elevated as the plate should be. Caviar I felt was unnecessary. Not sure it added much to the dish. The gnocchi: was fine, but again, just fine. It wasn't anything memorable and perhaps it was the amount of truffle that just overpowered the whole dish. Beef tartare: was refreshing, but again nothing special. All in all, just keeping it real as there's a lot of hype on this restaurant and while not bad, it's not impressive. Especially not for what you end up spending. read more

Absolutely delicious! We had the fried polenta to begin. It was fried to perfection! For the main, my husband ordered the gnocchi and I had the saffron tagliatelle alle vongoli. It's been a long time since we've eaten such tasty and well made food! It was Perfection! And it doesn't stop there: the chocolate hazelnut dessert was to die for! I'm sure going back with the rest of my family, because they must try this great place. The service was wonderful with the nicest polite and pleasant staff. We sat outside, and the lovely girl of the reception had fans all around to cool the hot weather air for us to feel comfortable. read more

The service here was immaculate, not just our server but the entire staff was so pleasant and helpful. The food exceeded my expectations and the recommendations of our server were great. We had the opportunity of trying the gnocchi and it was by far the best I've ever had. read more

My significant other and I made reservations 4 weeks in advance to dine at Boia De- this was our celebratory dinner for Valentine's day. We were seated inside super quick. You will have to give your entire food order (except dessert) at once so make sure you make your decision once you give the order to your waiter. Our waiter recommended that for 2 people, we should order 4-6 plates. So we ordered 6 plates and we're pretty satisfied at the end. We started with the Ika Krudo and the Baked Clams. The Ika Krudo was amazing and had a great beet sauce. The Baked Clams were okay- probably could skip this dish. Then we had the chopped salad- the lettuce quality was amazing! One of our favorite dishes was the Octopus Confit- it was SO tender, not chewy at all! And it was packed with tons of flavor. At last- we ordered some pasta dishes- SAFFRON TAGLIATELLE POMODORO and PAPPARDELLE ALLA LEPRE- you really can't go wrong with either of these dishes but i really preferred the PAPPARDELLE because the pasta was a little thicker. Either way both pasta dishes were served al dente. Finally, we ended our meal with dessert: ginger ice cream and the crispy Tiramisu. Overall, amazing culinary experience. This place is a Miami gem!! read more

It's was good. And maybe bc bone marrow not avail or maybe bc it was day after fourth and the regular chefs may not have been working. But the food was good but nothing that's set your world on fire like the other ratings are about. And doesn't explain how impossible it is to get a Rez. It's good. But not a must have nor unforgettable. We got six plates. The carpaccio, potato skins, broccolinI, lamb, porcini mushroom gnocchi, and polenta. Of all of them gnocchi was best and so it made me wonder what the other pasta plates might have been like. I would have loved to try another and also wished the bone marrow was avail. Other than that...all solid but again nothing I simply have to run back for or wait so long for Rez. read more

Super bad service and the food is super salty and bad. We sat outside with no air or fan and we didn't like one of the meals and they didn't take it of the bill 500$ bill 20$ meal. Not recommend. read more

Honestly, I am a bit hesitant to write a review as it's already hard to get a table, but the other part of me wants to shout it from the rooftops. The whole vibe here is incredible. The food is delicious and so thoughtful. The entire restaurant team, lovely and unpretentious. I'm always excited for my next visit, curious to try the new dishes that consistently celebrate the seasons. Current favorites are the beef tartare, kanpachi crudo and tagliolini nero. read more

I'm a former New Yorker/SF resident who loves to eat our! This place is outstanding! It matches any of the Michelin spots I've been to. The food was incredible - all of what we ordered, the staff was impeccable, the ambiance (I saw waking to the bathroom) was cool. This place also has great COVID precaution - spaced out tables, everyone using masks, wiping down tables, etc. the staff told me since the street no staff has come down with COVID read more

This place is absolutely spectacular. After researching Miami cuisine looking for good Michelin restaurants we ended up here and it was so good we went back before the trip was over. The black truffle agnolotti was amazing and the tartar was so unique and my favorite I've ever had. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town. read more

Had two pasta dishes and baked clams. While the ambiance, food, and service were all A+ unfortunately became extremely ill from shellfish poisoning from the baked clams. I noticed one of the clams I ate was slightly undercooked not sure if that was the issue or was just a bad clam but have never been so ill to my stomach in my life. Posting so restaurant is made aware. read more

Don't believe the hype. Dishes were either too salty or just bland. Waiter was pushy. My wife told them she didn't eat meat and asked what they would recommend... the waiter went on to offer her dishes with lamb and rabbit. She pretty much just rambled on about every single dish. After i told them what I wanted they tell me it wasn't enough. I responded that I wasn't even very hungry. The waiter responded by telling me I could order one of the plates I was thinking about and half of another. I finally caved and agreed. My wife ordered an appetizer, the waiter asked what other appetizer we wanted so my wife responded by saying we'd order later if we were still hungry. We didn't want another appetizer... my wife was just trying to be nice and get the waiter off our backs. The waiter responds by telling us we had to order everything at once So my wife asks what they'd recommend. The waiter recommends something and we agree. When the appetizers come out they both pretty much tasted the same... why recommend two appetizers with pretty much the same taste? Both were sour and vinegary. One was insanely sour. It was overpowering. The rabbit + pasta dish I ordered was just bland and boring. Pasta was over cooked. The rabbit itself was ok. You could taste a slight gaminess. Nothing special or interesting. I also had half an order of the lamb ribs... the taste was at least interesting but nothing I'd really want to eat again. A little chewy. I really had to press hard on the meat with my knife to cut. My wife's dish was too salty and again... boring. I would've felt ok with the experience if it wasn't overpriced. Maybe if they gave you some bread or something... imagine eating a bowl of bland, gamy rabbit with over cooked pasta and not have a little cheese or bread to break up the monotony of the dish. And it's not like it was a dish that you can tell the chef made exactly how it should be eaten. It was just a regular ass bowl of pasta. It would've been ok to add a little cheese. So yeah. Over rated. read more

My favorite restaurant hands down in Miami. Wow, what a well kept secret. Literally located next to a laundromat you would never expect to receive the food coming from this kitchen... every single dish is flawless. Every single one. Get them all multiple times. Also servers here are amazing. Wine list amazing. You are effectively getting 2-3 Michelin worthy dishes at an unbeatable price point. read more

Totally worth the trip to strip mall! I was very skeptical as my uber was approaching to the parking lot. But was so glad to have found this place. The menu is unpretentious but unique.

Good food in a hidden location. Their menu is pretty unique but I am not really sure it's worth a Michelin Star. Prices are not too high - although I didn't like they charged me for bread - and could improve on the overall service. I had to dine with water dripping over me from the AC, which wasn't entirely pleasant. Anyways, overall I enjoyed it, will be back (hopefully sit in another spot) and would recommend it. read more
