Charming, little outdoor chic restaurant with patio seats you don't want to get up from. Cushions, pillows and tables with the cutest decor, we absolutely loved the vibe and our server, Antonio, was fantastic. He was friendly, patient and very attentive to our needs. There is also indoor seating and a bar that looked just as inviting. His recommendations were fantastic and the food was fresh, delicious and the portions were enough for us to share. Plenty of parking around on the street or the nearby lot. Be sure to pay, we did see quite a few cars getting tickets. We cannot recommend, Call Me Gabby, enough and we can't wait to go back again soon! Cheers! read more

I came here for dinner for a bachelorette party on a Friday night. We made reservations online beforehand and they were able to accommodate our large party of 12 with an outdoor table. It was a chilly evening, but they had heaters on. Our server was Jose and he was very impressive! He handled all of our orders with ease and had a great personality making jokes all evening. The menu is massive and some dishes were very pricey. I ordered a Margherita pizza for myself and I felt that was affordable at $19. The crust was great. Based on the pricing, I wouldn't consider this an everyday type of restaurant. It's better served for a special occasion or date night. read more

Disappointed. The outside seating, which was beautiful and first come first seating, had cushions, foliage and other comfy additions to feel like a living room amongst the tropical greenery. My sister was in town visiting from snowy MN so outside seating was a must! :). We started with the saffron mussels and the focaccia. The focaccia came with some of the best olive oil I have ever tried and was a good, thick portion. The mussels? OH. MY. GOD. SOOOOOO delicious! By far the best dish of the night. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. We split the special of the night, which were grilled giant prawns served with fettuccini in a "garlic wine butter sauce." The dish came with 3 shrimp that were for the most part cooked perfectly and were HUGE; like the size of my hand. I say almost cooked perfectly because half of one of the shrimp was overcooked. The disappointing part was the noodles. It legitimately just tasted like buttered noodles. The whole dish needed an acid that the lemon wedge served on the side just did not make up for and a cream element. Also, something fresh, like fresh herbs. I was so very disappointed by the pasta. For a price tag of $78, not worth it. In fact, I took home the noodles and the mussels and used the saffron mussel broth to mix with the noodles. THAT was delish! Service was on point. Very knowledgable and friendly. I would go back for the mussels but nothing else. It was a disappointing dinner. read more

What a charming outdoor garden this place has! I love the mismatched patterns that somehow look perfect together throughout the fabrics, plates, etc. This place is a great vibe for anything: date, family dinner, catch up with a friend. Staff were really nice and accommodating. All I had was the Margherita pizza but it was cooked to perfection. There's a lot I still want to try from their menu - will have to come through on an empty stomach next time! Can't wait to be back. read more

Such a cute restaurant with amazing servers and waitstaff!!! We ate on the 2nd floor, but they have quaint exterior patio areas and little balcony areas that were so cute. We started off with delicious focaccia. Our Asian pear salad with candied pecans, blue cheese was unbelievably yummy. We ate the entire thing and could have eaten more- get it! The Cacio e Pepe was perfect with just the right amount of sauce. The bolognese was on the sweet side but a touch of salt made it just right. The decor, staff and food make this an amazing dining experience. read more

We had a beautiful dinner at Call Me Gaby. The ambiance was cozy and warm with the string lights, vines, mood lighting, and heated lamps on the patio. The food was also spectacular - I ordered the cacio e pepe, which though it looks small via photo was very filling, and my partner also got the bolognese which was very flavorful and delicious! The service was pretty good as well, they were kind enough to deliver a complimentary dessert for two other dinner guests of our party who were celebrating an anniversary. Only critique was that our server didn't introduce himself, just stood there without saying anything, and we had to ask him about the specials etc. He also mixed up telling us what was the risotto of the day and ravioli of the day, but he could've been having an off-night. Regardless, it was a beautiful dinner! read more

The food is great. But the service is very weird. The manager doesn't know what he's doing. The staff do not communicate with each other about anything.

One of my husband's coworkers (and his wife) were in town and wanted to meet up for dinner - and they had gotten a late night reservation at Call Me Gaby on Friday night. It was certainly delicious and with great service - but there are definitely other Italian spots in town that are much more reasonably priced - but that's what you get on the beach, right? We started with the burrata on special, as well as one of the pizzas covered in stracciatella and truffle. Honestly, probably the best burrata I've ever had in my life - it was creamy, perfectly salty, and the focaccia it was served with were divine. For entrees - my husband and I both ordered from the nightly specials: osso bucco with a pomodoro sauce served over saffron risotto, and a cacio e pepe served from a cheese wheel with black truffle. Unfortunately, the cacio e pepe was only fine. The presentation of the cheese wheel was great...but it was definitely missing the pepper part of the pepe. The saffron risotto however was excellent. Overall, service was excellent and it was such a fun vibe; I would definitely be back to grab drinks at the bar and maybe split an app or two - but probably wouldn't opt there for dinner again. read more

Came for dinner and sat outside which was nice in the fall/winter. Would probably be uncomfortable in the summer. Ordered two apps, the meatballs and the Asian pears salad. Both were delicious. Meatballs were 3 of average size. The pears were thinly sliced and the flavors were paired excellently. Not heavy and a nice starter. Pastas we had were the cacio e pepe (pasta in a white cheesy sauce) and an order of the pappardelle all'uovo alla bolognese (pasta in a bolognese sauce)... both were delicious. Place is busy and we were lucky to get a table the day we went. I doubt that would happen again so make your plans ahead of time!! read more

Call me crazy but $37 for a pinza (rectangular shape pizza) is just absurd. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, the decor is super cute with authentically Italian vibes in a welcoming location and ambiance but the menu prices are excessive. We ordered a burrata which comes with nothing else than the pesto and olive oil $25 along with the meatballs which were served in a cute pot but were room temperature. The small endive salad was delicious but $27.... read more

Came here with my son and ate her for dinner during a trip to Miami. We were seated outside in this beautiful patio. Our server was from Italy and very professional with me and made a great suggestion for a drink. One drink because I was with my son . As for the food, I ordered a prosciutto pizza which was fantastic. Wood fired to perfection. My son had a cheese pizza. The inside has a small bar with an extensive wine selection. Overall was very happy with the service here and glad I came here. read more

Loved the fresh watermelon salad--light, bright, and perfectly topped with pistachio crumble. The Asian pear carpaccio was a standout: crisp pears, Roquefort, and caramelized pecans in the best sweet-savory combo. Absolutely love the ambience, downstairs patio, and upstairs bar- stop by to see for yourself Friendly staff- this is my third visit!! a must if you're in Miami! read more

Joes is a staple if you're a fan of stone crab then you should definitely go. I prefer the king crab, which is delicious. If you don't like seafood at all, the real deal is with the fried chicken. It's at a great price and it is quite delicious. The staff is very attentive, has an old world charm to it. The place is very nostalgic and again is famous Miami go to. Please be sure to go before May 1 so that you can get fresh stone crab otherwise you're gonna get the frozen stuff which is good but not as tender. read more

I had been invited for a dear friends birthday to call me Gaby. We were a big group of girls. & had read the reviews and went in hoping it would be good. Sadly it was not due to many reasons. I had been calling since the morning to ask some questions. Nobody picked up. (3 times to be exact ). I ordered the cacio y pepe. It was not good. There was too much black pepper. And I always get this dish ! The drink was okay. The overall vibe of this place is not it. It's too loud. Not ideal to have a conversation or date. The service was good. As usual though there was always an issue with the check having to be split amongst 6 cards for a big group. The prices are too much for what you are paying . There is also a 20 % tip. Parking is street parking. There was no parking and had to valet $25. The overall crowd is not really Miami local foodies, More like the south beach crowd there for the gram. I personally would not go back here again. read more

You either love or hate the trendy South Beach restaurants near South Pointe. Parking - fortunately I was dropped off but expect to pay $25 for parking because the lots nearby are very sparse. Drinks - I ordered the Profumo cocktail, which was tasty, but slightly different than I expected based on the menu description. $20 Food - I ordered the eggplant parm appetizer and the fiocchi pasta as an entree. Around $50 for the 2, and I HIGHLY recommend ordering an app and entree just due to portion sizes. I believe that price is justified by taste and quality, but could I get an equivalent dish for less at most other Miami Italian restaurants? Yes. I spent $101 in total including tip, and honestly was still a little hungry. Service was good, not great. So, my conclusion on Call Me Gaby is that they are just another trendy overpriced restaurant whose food/service doesn't match the cost. read more

What a fantastic experience... Truly amazing! I tried making a reservation on line for a party of 7 and was referred to the restaurant directly for this size party so I left a message and within an hour I was text regarding my dinner reservation request. I sent the details and requested outdoor seating and they confirmed the reservation for 7pm. We were seated outside. The setting was beautiful with cozy benches and pillows and amazing ambiance. The service was impeccable, For starts- We ordered a round of drinks. All were fantastic and a bottle of albareno. Everything looked fantastic on the menu and although they are pricy, I noticed the portions on the other tables were huge so we ordered family style a little variety of food that did not disappoint! We started with: FOCACCIA $7 Pizza dough, rosemary, coarse salt, extra virgin olive oil DOP It was crispy yet soft cooked perfect ! CHARCUTERIE PLATTER $32 Chef selection of assorted Italian cured meats and Parmesan cheese The presentation was great and a great shareable item PARMIGIANA DI MELANZANE $24 Eggplant layers, smoked mozzarella, basil, topped with a fresh tomato sauce and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano It was delicious and although it looked heavy it was light. AUTHENTIC NICOISE $32 Little gem lettuce, French green beans, radishes, tuna filet in olive oil, steamed fingerling potatoes, boiled eggs, celery, anchovies, black olives red & green peppers, shallots, Dijon dressing The salad was fantastic. The lettuce was cold and crisp and very flavorful WATERMELON $29 Fresh diced watermelon, goat cheese, mint, lemon zest, pistachio crumble, olive oil DOP It's my go to summer salad in Greece that did not disappoint on a cool night in Miami. The watermelon was fresh, sweet and shareable portion for sure. This could easily be ordered as a salad or desert if you want a lighter way to fix your sweet tooth fix. My ultimate favorite was the Pizza GABY $49 Pizza dough topped with foie gras, fig jam, edible flowers, gorgonzola cream, raisins confit The flavors came together perfectly. We could have easily had a second round. VEAL MILANESE $52 Served with arugula and cherry tomatoes Cooked to perfection. The portion was huge!!!!! MEDITERRANEAN BRANZINO $48 Pan-fried with black rice, roasted asparagus, and a lemon caper butter sauce I thought the branzino was a little over cooked when It first arrived. I made a comment at the table and the manager had it changed immediately! The new branzino came back and it melted. SPAGHETTI AL POMODORO $24 Italian cherry tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil, onion, celery, carrots This was the an easy great bonus to mix in with everything we got. It was light and really good. The service was immaculate! Our waters were consistently poured and waiter and staff were always at our table making sure we were taken care of. Truly a fabulous dinner. A special thank you to the manager Ariel, for insisting on replacing the fish. It was fantastic and I will definitely be back soon!!! read more

On my pursuit of a new Italian restaurant, I ended calling on Gaby last weekend. Located right near South Pointe, it's a great spot to enjoy a bite after a day on the water, especially on their outdoor patio..or come dressed a little nicer for a dinner out. It's a few blocks away from the bustle of Ocean Drive so it has a cool exclusivity. Even on the patio, the music is more jazzy than party. Service was casually relaxed, and my server was on point with her recommendations. The way to go are their pizzas. The "Andrea" I enjoyed is a delicious & complex blend of flavors: fluffy rosemary crust, salty prosciutto, and a sweet fig jam with cool straciatella cheese. Did you try to eat it by hand and your toppings fell on the plate, and you have your crust left? No problem, since they serve a rich Sanniti balsamic vinegar. It's a perfect dipping sauce. Leave some space for their delicious pannacotta with berries. The vibe is great for sipping some vino and a great afternoon out. Giving them an extra star for the vibe..I'd certainly recommend! read more

I hate that I loved this place because I'm so anti-sceney joints and this was exactly that but the food was soooo excellent. We had an 8:45 res and they were nice about seating us without the entire party present. We did request outdoor seating which they couldn't accommodate but it wasn't a big deal. The vibe is lively and upscale. Music is a tad too loud for my preference. Drink menu is fun and cocktails are reasonably priced at around $19-$20. I ordered a gin martini and it was well made. Everyone in my group enjoyed their drinks. We ordered the focaccia, the eggplant app, two pizzas, and a pasta to split. Everything was delicious but the pasta (FIOCCHETTI ALLE PERE E TARTUFO) was the star. Apps are around the $20 mark and mains are around $25-40. Service was decent - nothing to write home about but relatively attentive. Overall we enjoyed the meal. Again, probably a bit more expensive than it should be but the quality holds up. read more

Do not recommend this place for solo diners. They don't like seating people without a group or a reservation. I had to share table with 3 unknown parties. Everyone was uncomfortable. Couldn't even get out of the sofa seat. Food was mid. Paid $32 for the pizza in the picture. Charged $7 for small Coca Cola. That's a rip off. I will never go again. read more

Great food, trendy Instagrammable decor, stellar service... what more could you ask for? I came here for dinner while on vacation in Miami in early July. I ordered the hanger steak and the risotto of the day, which was a lobster risotto that day. Both dishes were AMAZING. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the baked baby potatoes were super good too. The risotto had plenty of lobster meat, making it worth the price in my opinion. For drinks, I ordered the Spaziale. The bartender (who was also our server) was also able to make a mocktail for my friend who doesn't drink alcohol. I'd be down to come here again if I ever went back to Miami! read more

Call Me Gaby (@callmegabymb) was a great experience from the food, to the service, to the vibe. Everyone loves sitting outside here (so it is very difficult to snag a seat, since they do not provide an option to distinguish indoor vs outdoor on your reservation), but I personally loved the upstairs dining area. It is a bit smaller than downstairs, and there are very cute balcony nooks that fit one table of 4 people- these are the best seats in the house, in my opinion! As for the food, there were 3 in my party, so we ordered 1 pinsa, 1 protein, and 1 pasta to share, and it was plenty (considering we had already ordered appetizers elsewhere ). The pear pasta was very tasty, and the pinsa came with fig jam and stracciatella cheese, which ended up being the perfect mix . The salmon was a bit overcooked for the temperature we ordered, but the flavor was good otherwise. @miamicheatdays read more

Call Me Gaby was the perfect spot to kick off my new chapter in Miami! I came here for a welcome-to-Miami dinner with my partner, and everything--from the food to the atmosphere--was exceptional. The ambience is truly something special: warm, cozy, and beautifully designed down to every detail (even the bathroom is stunning!). It has that chic yet welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Now the food... wow. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Here's what we ordered: * Grilled Vegetable Platter - A simple yet perfect start. The veggies were charred just right and drizzled with high-quality olive oil. * Little Gem Salad - Light and refreshing with a mix of textures. The lemon anchovy vinaigrette pulled it all together. * GABY Pizza - This was a standout. Foie gras, fig jam, gorgonzola cream... it was indulgent, unique, and surprisingly well-balanced. * Gnocchi Pesto and Shrimps - Creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the pine nuts added the perfect crunch. As for the drinks: * The Rosolio was floral and bubbly with just the right amount of sweetness. * The Gaby Overall, it was the perfect evening. Beautiful atmosphere and incredible food + cocktails. I'll absolutely be back--and highly recommend it for a special night out or a memorable Miami dining experience. read more

Nestled in South of Fifth's dining gems, Call Me Gabby adds a chic and romantic touch to Miami Beach's restaurant scene. The gorgeous outdoor dining patio is perfect for a romantic evening or a stylish gathering, offering an inviting ambiance. The first-floor lounge sets a laid-back tone, while the swanky upstairs bar and tables cater to parties of two or more, creating an intimate yet lively atmosphere. I judge a restaurant by the quality of their dirty martinis and I'm pleased to say that Call Me Gabby does not disappoint. The martinis are expertly crafted, though I did miss the blue cheese olives, which would have taken the drink to the next level--if you know, you know. The charcuterie board is a must-try, loved the presentation of hanging meats complemented by the orange jam, candied walnut halves, and olives. The warm toasted focaccia bread is another highlight, and for all you prosciutto lovers, do not miss the Angelina pizza--it's a delicious! While the food and ambiance are top-notch, the service is a bit slower than average. However, the overall experience is makes for the perfect intimate night out. Good quality food combined with an excellent vibe, makes it a must-visit spot in South of Fifth. read more
