Bread
Ashley Q.

4.5/5 One of the best pastas I have ever had! The rigatoni was not overcooked and the vodka sauce was a creamy delight. I didn't know complimentary bread could get any better than this honestly. It came with a delicate cheese spread but I opted for dipping my bread in the vodka sauce. The was only one man working in the front. After I sat down and placed my order, the food came out in 4 minutes. The service was rather quick and efficient. However, there were two girls that were finishing their meal as I walked in, leaving me, the only person left. I'd love to come back again if I find myself in the area again. Food was fulfilling and worth the $25!

After a long day unpacking and building furniture, Amber and I wanted a hearty meal and Italian seemed fitting. We googled some neat by places and Caccio e Pepe being Amber and my go to dish we decided this place sounded perfect if they named their restaurant after it. We were not disappointed. The presentation was table side and the portion was so big that we had split it and still didn't finish. We also ordered the muscles and clams which were also amazing along with a bit of wine for a perfect evening!.

RAVIOLI AI FORMAGGI CON BURRO FUSO E SALVIA
Lindsay Y.

We chose this restaurant due to the fact it was named Cacio e Pepe because we both adore that dish. I wasn't expecting much, but again this is another example of a pretty establishment with below average food and horrible service. We ordered a coke and wine and had to ask our server 4x for the coke. We finally got to ordering and tried the Cacio e Pepe, chicken parm and the cheese ravioli. There was honestly nothing special about the flavor of any of the bland entrees and the pasta was over cooked. I wouldn't even call it average. Not worth dining here due the hefty price-tag and awful service.

GNOCCHI QUATTRO FORMAGGI

Oh my goodness. This place is phenomenal. If you're looking for some good authentic Italian food.. this is 100% the place. I'm surprised it doesn't have more business!! Let's start off with the most important aspect of a restaurant: the food. They give you the most delicate bread with an amazing dip.. not sure what it's called but I loved the immaculate flavors it gave my taste buds. For my entree, I got the 4 cheese Gnocchi with chicken with some sprinkled parmesan flakes. With each bite, I was transported to culinary heaven, feeling almost as if I was floating. I've had excellent gnocchi back in my home state.. but this.. just made it seem bland. It was truly remarkable. My father got the fettuccine alfredo and from what I could get a taste of, it was excellent. I could cry because I'll probably never be able to come back here since I reside in plainness michigan Next, let's move on to the ambiance. The decor is so authentic and well-thought-out that I feel like I've been transported to a cozy Italian villa! Lastly, the service. Everyone is incredibly kind, polite, and gentle, which truly enhances the dining experience. Good bye.

Confused! They don't have a full bar , they only offer wine , beers and prosecco. We went for a late lunch, we order fried calamari and it was tasteless, we had to add pepper and salt to the sauce to make it ok, my husband order spaghetti bolognese (he asked for them to give him spaghetti instead of the original pasta they offer with bolognese) this plate was better but also nothing remarkable. Service was good , ambience was ok , we were the only costumers at the restaurant so there was no ambience, nice decor and good music.

Came to have lunch with friends and had an ok experience... ordered the cesar salad, average at best... lettuce, some cesar sauce, bought sliced parm cheese and some anchovies.... As main, had the parmegian wheel... the pasta was overcooked and too much sauce... so it was over powered... Bread is VERY good!!

Querceto - Chianti

I absolutely loved it--a cozy Italian place, hidden in a plaza in Aventura. We went on a Sunday at noon, and it was just my in-laws, my hubby, and me. We ordered a delicious appetizer for two, including burrata, greens, diverse cold cuts, and bread, with olive oil (of course). The bread is made daily and is served warmed, and you will not be able to stop ordering for more. As you can see in the pictures, we all ordered pasta, but they have other options too. The house specialty is the spaghetti Tartufo, which the waiter will mix in a cheese mold and then serve it with mushroom slices. A total feast. We ordered a chianti wine, which was delicious too. We could not make it to the desserts, but I´ll try it next time. They have a three-course menu during the weekdays, for only $25.- The service was on point, and the place is clean and very much like an Italian tavern.

Cacio e Pepe pasta & a glass of red wine
Lisa S.

The food was delicious and the Cacio e Pepe is prepared tableside which is fun to see. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice. We had reservations for an inside table but when we arrived they sat outside and near the parking lot which was unfortunate. The service was slow. They forgot to bring us water, bread, and the wine until we reminded them a few times. Lastly they forgot to process our bill and it took a long time to get our credit card back. To be fair, the restaurant was super busy and they were overwhelmed. Despite the small inconvenience- the manger who was our server was very polite and friendly. I would go back another time to try it when it is less busy. The food is worth it!!

Food was very good, and service was good. Maybe a little bigger portions on pasta for price, and bring salads out before meals.

It's a pretty good breakfast spot with both inside and outside seating. The owner seems to be well-known, as someone from the adjacent shop popped in for coffee while I was dining, and he had it delivered by one of his employees. If I regularly worked on the area, I'd very likely check it out. I started with their iced latte (and since I had a busy day later), ordered a second one. I enjoyed mine with dash of milk cream. Ostensibly savory, their Avo Egg Sandie - which I enjoyed sans Avo - was tasty. The caramelized onions gave the spinach and fluffy scrambled eggs & spinach a hint of sweetness. My sweets were via the gigantic pancakes I couldn't finish (I'd need some extra gym time :) But do indulge the pancakes with the fresh fruits on top and blueberry, peach and date jams.

I also tried the ice cream and the loukoumades, which are similar to little fried donuts. They weren't really my favorite, but I'm also not a big fan of fried desserts.
