Over the years I've heard of Caffe Vialetto but until recently had not tried it and I can't believe it took me this long! The restaurant is a little hidden on the corner of Le Juene and Bird so it's easy to miss but for that reason it makes it feel a little more exclusive. Once we walked in we were greeted by the owner (always a good sign when the owners themselves are there) and seated right away. I do recommend making a reservation if you plan to come on the weekend as it was pretty packed when we got there. They give you complementary bread and bruschetta. The bread was really good, with a little bit of a sweet taste that went really nice with the tomatoes. Our server told us they make it fresh in house each day. For apps we decided to get a few things to try.... Shrimp Nuggets: these were amazing and came with a sweet Thai chili guava sauce. This was my personal favorite. Meatballs: these were actually made from Buffalo meat which I never tried before but it was super tasty. It also came with a dollop of ricotta. (I ended up soaking whatever bread was left in the sauce...soo good!) Salmon Sashimi: not what I was expecting to see on the menu but don't pass on it. The salmon was super fresh and the sauce paired perfectly. For my entree I got the pasta special of the day that was made with filet mignon tips and parpadelle. Omg this dish was to die for. The pasta (fresh pasta let me add) was cooked to the perfect al dente. The sauce was rich and decadent and had mushrooms and fresh mozzarella. If you're there and they have this get it! Others at the table got the short rib risotto and the short rib ravioli which all looked amazing. For dessert our server mentioned their most popular one is called the Funk. It's like a take on tiramisu but has blueberry sauce and crushed heath bar pieces and at first it sounded like a lot of different flavors but somehow they all go together! I loved how the hearth bar gave a little bit of crunch. I almost forget to mention the drinks! I'm a whiskey bourbon type of girl so I naturally got the old fashioned and it was hands down one of the best I've had. I can't recommend Caffe Vialetto enough especially if you're celebrating a birthday or anniversary.

Server took this restaurant to another level! He was excellent! (See picture) The food was very flavorful, a unique twist on our interpretation of Italian cuisine. Risottos were excellent, salmon was good, tuna with guava sauce was unexpectedly delish. Let's talk RAVIOLI .... OMG the best hands down!!!!! Do yourself a favor and order the pear ravioli, you won't regret it. And if you want more surprise, the fig was exquisite. Tiramisu was eccentric; missed the coffee flavor I love in a tiramisu. The ambiance was very classy and once again server made our experience one of kind! Will certainly return!

Tiramisu

I highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or in general if you want to have a downright delicious meal. Venue- The restaurant is actually located behind a 7-Eleven. You would not think such a great place would be here if you didn't hear about it from someone else. The inside is decorated with a modern contemporary look. White clothes tables and relaxing background music. Service- Everyone, starting from the hostess to the manager is beyond welcoming and attentive. They're always making sure that you are enjoying your dining experience. My server did an excellent job at getting a nice crowd together to sing my mother happy birthday. He was also very courteous and had excellent dinner recommendations. Food- The restaurant provides complementary warm bread and tomatillo dip. I have to say that everything we ordered was season perfectly, cooked to perfection, and made with quality ingredients. For starter, we had the burrata that came paired with artichokes and drizzled with a sweet balsamic sauce. The burrata was definitely fresh and served at a good temperature. For dinner we had the fish special which was the hog fish topped with a mango sauce and paired with a cheesy ricotta risotto. To be honest, this dish was out of this world. The sweet and salty combination was perfect. We also tried the lobster ravioli which came with nice chunks of fresh lobster inside. And finally, for dessert we had the tiramisu that was topped with toffee and chocolate chips, also to die for. We literally left super happy and satisfied. You valet your car for $10 in the front and pay using Cash App :-)

Cafe Vialetto is a staple in the Gables. The restaurant has been on the corner of Le Jeune and Bird Road for a long time. We like to go here for special occasions and it's always great. Definitely make reservations as they are always packed even if it's a weekday. Their pasta is amazing especially the pear ravioli. I also like the tuna tostones. They have different daily specials and offer great meat and fish. I don't think there's a kids menu but we always order the meatballs from the appetizer menu for our 4 year old because he loved them.

I drove by this place 3 times looking for it but im glad I found it!! Great little Italian restaurant in the gables with plenty of options. Bread for the table to start (wasn't my favorite to be honest) but the ham croquettes were amazing! We also had the meatballs and tuna tostones, both were ok. Probably will stick to the croquetas. Wine was delicious but the bottle for the table was pricy. Took a bite of my friends truffle ravioli and wasn't blown away but the "Pasta Del Año" was phenomenal! Definitely my favorite thing on the menu apart from the mushroom risotto. Highly recommend. And if you have room for dessert, they are all satisfying. All meal portions are definitely shareable! Way too much food for one person unless you're at nothing else lol. Place is small but quaint, no major entrance. It's basically a back door. Atmosphere is just right. Everyone is simply enjoying their meals and company with light music in the background. Reservations are recommended but there is a small bar you can sit at if you're lucky. And the service, excellent! Everyone was super friendly, knowledgeable about the cuisine and wine and so welcoming. Made it feel like we were at home. Honestly a great place! I only give it 4 stars because I'm huge on Italian and although they have some very tasty dishes, i can't say it became my favorite Italian spot, plus it was a bit over priced for 4 compared to other authentic spots (1 bottle of wine, 2 Miami spice delas that included an app, main course and dessert, 2 additional apps and main courses was a little over 400). But I recommend to giving it a try either way. You never know, maybe you'll find the food more enjoyable overall than I did. Either way, it won't disappoint.

Burrata Mozzarella

When a friend of mine told me that there was this amazing Italian restaurant in Coral Gablea that was a must try, I have to say, I was doubtful. Fast-forward an incredible meal later, and I have to say it really was a must try. A group of us (obviously pre-pandemic) came at night and it feels like your walking into a club. The ambience is definitely different than most Italian restaurants I've been to. The food though, oh the food. It was simply delicious. I thing else needs to be said really. It was great. Everything we tried (I'll provide a list below) was amazing. We had the following and would definitely recommend each item if you haven't tried it before: - Burrata Mozzarella - Salmon Sashimi - Creamy Polenta - Short Rib Risotto - Risotto Fruta di Mare ( Lobster Bisque ) - Pappardelle short ribs - Tres Leches - Guava Cheesecake

The food here was phenomenal! Was very impressed by the quality of the food and how delicious it was. The prices are definitely on the higher end but the atmosphere is very formal and elegant so expect to enjoy some fine dining with some great wines they offer.

Pappardelle short ribs
Jim R.

I wanted to love this place. It was really hyped up so I was expecting 5 stars. There's a lot to love. A LOT. Fresh, handmade pasta. In Miami. Read that again. And some of the flavors were to die for. The setting is beautiful. And it's very intimate (seats probably 40 max). But. I'm from NY. I'm spoiled with the best Italian food, IMO, in the US. So for me, it's not 5 stars. It's maybe 4, probably 3.5. So then why did I give it 2? We were served our water with a broken glass that could've cut a lip, there were flies all over the place, and the service was really poor. Especially for the price. I'm sure other people will go and love it, maybe even tell me I'm crazy. But you can't rate this place the same level as Eataly in the Flatiron and that's what I'm comparing every Italian restaurant to that charges me $400 for 4.

Potato Croquetas
Lilly M.

Is this authentic Italian food? No. Is it delicious? ABSOLUTELY! I really enjoyed my meal here and the service was amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment we left the staff were very hospitable and friendly. Our servers were there anytime we needed something and were always checking on us which I appreciated. The ambiance was perfect for a date night very calm and romantic and they even have a little selfie station when you walk in. The potato croquettes were not my fav I'll definitely pass on those next time but my short rib risotto was delicious I would definitely order it again. I enjoyed my friends spaghetti and meatballs as well very flavorful. The cocktails need work but they do have a decent wine menu.

Guava cheesecake
Cassie P.

Caffe Vialetto is a Coral Gables staple and I recently returned for dinner with a group after a very long hiatus. I left impressed with the service but a little underwhelmed by a few of the entrees we ordered. To start, you're given complimentary bruschetta with warm bread which was one of the highlights for me! I probably could've brushed off the whole loaf to myself if left to my own devices. We also ordered burrata and calamari appetizers which were good. From there, we shared the linguini alla vongole, short rib risotto, and half lobster, half pear ravioli. My favorite out of the bunch was the lobster ravioli (the pear was good too, but I'm not a huge gorgonzola fan). I liked how you could get smaller orders to try both! Besides that, maybe it was the time that the dishes were prepared, but I wasn't in love with the other entrees. Some came cold and were just missing a punch of flavor. Now, dessert was pretty darn tasty. The offerings were an interesting blend of Cuban and Italian sweets, so we ended up trying the guava cheesecake and tiramisu. I'm a huge cheesecake fan and really enjoyed the guava. As mentioned, the service was great throughout and the reason this is a four and not three star review. Our wine glasses were never empty and they checked on us throughout. The atmosphere of Caffe Vialetto makes for a safe date night spot, as you can dress up or down. They also have a private room for parties and valet if you can't find street parking nearby.

Happy New Year everyone! Truly hope this finds you all doing well and enjoying New Years Day with your families, loved ones or friends. Went out with my sister and her husband for New Years dinner last night. Truthfully, we were not planning on doing anything but she mentioned Cafe Vialetto earlier in the week and we all decided to go for it. We had been there in the past and always had a good time. Happy to report that we had a wonderful evening and dining experience. To kick things off we all started with some drinks so Lychee Martini's and Old Fashioned's were in order. Have to say that the drinks were great but we did have to ask them to make them a little stronger for us. Hey it's New Years right! . For appetizers we ordered the Meatball And Fried Calamari appetizers. Both were awesome! Calamari was crisp but not greasy at all. The veal meatballs had a phenomenal home made tomato based sauce and were very, very tender with some excellent Ricotta cheese as well that made the overall mix of flavors very interesting. For our main courses we all decide to opt for the "Frutti Di Mare" risotto, sampling both the Champagne and Lobster Bisque risotto options they have on the menu. Long story short both risotto options were awesome and delicious and from the looks on everyone else's faces, I am pretty sure all the other menu options were just as good. Also want to mention that the service was amazing starting with the valet personnel, the host and ending with our server. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming which is always appreciate. Cannot confirm but I believe the owner stopped by our table as well to make sure all was well and that we were enjoying our dining experience. Definitely happy that we joined them for dinner and highly recommend that you try them out if you have not done so already. Overall, they provide a wonderful dining experience and I am sure you won't regret it. Happy New Year again, enjoy and Bon Appétit!

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.

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.

The setting was actually really nice--quiet, cozy, with a good mix of families and friends. We sat outside and the overall vibe felt promising. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill pretty quickly. As soon as we sat, the waitress greeted us by saying the kitchen was closing at 10 and asked if we already knew what we wanted. It immediately felt rushed and not very welcoming. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which was good--slightly citrusy for my taste, but enjoyable. For food, I had the chicken Caesar salad and my husband ordered the seafood gluten-free pasta. My salad was disappointing--it had more croutons than chicken, which made it feel unbalanced and not worth the price. His pasta was even more underwhelming, with only three shrimp and a few clams. When we brought it up, the manager came over and explained that portions are measured by the restaurant, but offered to add more chicken and shrimp if we wanted. While I appreciate the offer, it felt like something that should have been corrected automatically, not something we had to ask for--especially considering these are full-priced entrées, not side dishes. Overall, the ambiance was nice, but the food and service didn't meet expectations. For the price point, I expected better portions and a more thoughtful response to feedback. Maybe pizza is a safer option here, but based on this experience, I wouldn't return.
