    Happy hour : Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka fries, mozzarella sticks, ceaser salad sangria
    Jessica A.

    I had no idea this place was downtown. I came to visit with a friend. She was staying at the Gale hotel. We had some time before our other reservation so we decided to enjoy the free sangrias she got for being a hotel guest. They were a little sweet for me, but for free, I'll take it. They're happy hour is honestly priced pretty well. The food was good. I'm not sure if I would come here for a full dinner. Nothing blew me out of the water, but for sure we'll be back for happy hour. We sat outside. The bar is huge. The patio is so beautiful. Bartender was very sweet as well.

    Had an amazing time at casa Gianna. Great Italian food with a Mediterranean influence. The lobster pasta was my favorite. They have some amazing pizza options too. The apps were excellent and the cocktails immaculate. Service was excellent ! Will definitely be going back here

    Gorgeous decor, very spacious and excellent service. It is located inside Gale hotel but has its own entrance. Stopped by for the World Cup game of USA vs Belgium. Happy Hours goes until 8pm and there is a passport food menu of happy hour priced food and drink options under $20 all day during game days. Tequenos - would have preferred a different sauce like aioli instead of this sweet and sour chili sauce; mozzarella sticks were good with rich marina sauce ; churrasco sliders were really good; empanadas were tasty but mini and not a must if you are a local who enjoys a good empanada. Definitely coming back to try the pasta - spicy rigatoni is on HH FOR $9

    Breakfast dessert! It was our friend's birthday and they brought her a panna cotta! It was delicious and delightful

    We had dinner and breakfast here. Both meals were excellent. The service was impeccable and thoughtful as well. Our waiter at dinner was from Colombia and as we were visiting Colombia in a few days it was so nice to hear from a local what foods we should try in Colombia. He was super gracious making sure we never had empty glasses or an empty bread basket. We started with a burrata salad that was fantastic. My pappardelle, I was shocked I was not expecting it to be in the shape of a rose. It practically melted in your mouth. The pasta was so tender. The next morning was Saturday so it was the brunch menu. I had spaghetti carbonara which was rich and out of this world. I know I splatted some on myself and I regretted such a heavy breakfast later on, but it was still amazing. Our birthday girl had the breakfast platter and my husband had the french toast. Our uber was on its way so they rushed out a breakfast dessert and the check. They also found us a great table so we could keep our luggage near us! I would eat here even if we weren't staying here! Plus it's walking distance to the brightline so we could always pop by before or after a brightline trip!

    Casa Gianna is located in the heart of Miami Worldcenter right next to the train tracks and by the "Welcome to Miami Worldcenter" art mural. The restaurant is inside the Gale Miami Hotel & Residence. We entered through the patio area so we didn't walk through the hotel. The ambiance on the outdoor patio is gorgeous with a spacious area filled with plenty of patio seating magical lighting, floral wall decor, heat lamps and huge umbrellas. Magical space. When you walk inside, it's filled with warm lighting, booths & tables, tall ceilings, open kitchen concept and a nice open area. We were sat in a beautiful half round booth with plenty of space to seat 4-6 guests easy. Our server was Jason who was very chill, composed, attentive and professional. EVERYTHING WE ORDERED: * Espresso Martini Italiano $20 * Giardino Fresco (cucumber cocktail) $18 * Polipo (grilled octopus) $29 * Fagotelli (short rib filled pasta) $36 * Branzino Alla Puttanesca $46 * Roasted Orange Glaze Carrots $12 * Panna Cotta $14 * Lemon Pistachio $14 We originally ordered the Pistachio Crusted Colorado Lamb Chops but they ran out. We opted for the Pappardelle Alla Rosa De Ricotta which sounded delicious with a white truffle cream and lemon pistachio ricotta. Jason eventually came back to the table with a menu to let us know they unfortunately ran out of the Pappardelle as well. So comical at this point. Ended up getting the Fagotelli which was a super fancy pasta with a short rib filling. Crossed our fingers they wouldn't run out of this too. Our drinks were beautifully crafted and on point. Espresso Martini foam was incredibly fluffy, drink was smooth. The Giardino Fresco cucumber cocktail was refreshing. The Polipo grilled octopus was so dang good with a nice citrus vinaigrette, loved the shaved fennel texture. The Fagotelli short rib filled pasta was rich and smooth, one was enough for me. The shaved truffle was a nice touch. Truffle anything is always a good idea. Branzino could have been better. Did not love the confit pomodoro sauce, didn't compliment the branzino. Wish it had a light citrus sauce instead, the citrus vinaigrette from the grilled octopus dish would have been perfect for the branzino. Fish was also a bit dry, wish it was juicier and not as overcooked. For dessert, we opted for the Panna Cotta and considered the Lemon Pistachio too. Jason brought out the Panna Cotta with a candle and happy birthday chocolate sign. He also brought us the Lemon Pistachio as a complimentary extra dessert since we were eyeing this anyway. Very nice gesture. Funny enough, I really loved the flavors and textures of the Lemon Pistachio more so than the Panna Cotta. The Panna Cotta was too firm and just meh in comparison. All in all, we had a lovely dinner experience and it was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday. Hubby did good. Loved the ambiance, service was wonderful and food & drinks were fabulous! Nice authentic Italian spot in Downtown Miami. Casa Gianna has a Happy Hour at the bar seating area only on Mon-Thu @ 4-7pm and Fri @ 4-6pm. The HH includes small bites for $9-15 and beer, wine & cocktails for $5-10.

    Located inside the Gale Hotel and Residences, this is a very nice looking restaurant. It has indoor and outdoor seating. While I did not dine in, I sat at the bar several times and visited the attached cafe. The drinks were good and service was friendly. Coffee was hit or miss at the cafe, but still nice for grabbing a snack when in need.

    Ok so this place is a little hard to find because Google Maps and the world center are trippin right now. But what a hidden gem! The food was amazing. We went for Miami spice and I think it's the best one I have had so far! Service was slow at first but got better towards the end. The outside and inside dinning areas were super nice! I'm for sure going back!

    It's a very nice Italian restaurant in the heart of Downtown Miami. The food was good, also the atmosphere was good; very calm, no loud music and the service was good as well; the waitress had a lot of knowledge of the menu and recommended some dishes. The cocktails were good. There's outdoors area in this restaurant. The parking might be difficult.

    I have been excited to try this place since its new to the downtown neighborhood. It has a charming patio with a lot of seating, an outdoor bar, and inside seating. We chose outside because of the cool weather. We started off with the meatballs, which were dry. I wish we would've done a salad instead. We also didn't get any bread until we asked for it (I feel like you should just bring it out). Our waiter/bartender was super nice and created a mocktail for me despite none on the menu. I'm very thankful they did as we're participating in dry January. As for the spicy rigatoni, it was the second best part of our meal. The flavor and portions are great! I have to say the best part was the tiramisu. Wow! It was perfectly made and had a beautiful presentation. I will definitely come back for these two items!

    I came to Casa Gianna for a birthday dinner and we were a large party (20 ppl) so I really kept my expectations fairly low because I know large parties tend to always get the short end of the stick when it comes to service and food quality. And though I am pleased to say that the service was great, kudos to Mary because she did a phenomenal job handling such a large group; the food left a lot to be desired. Just about everyone in my party was disappointed with their food. We all agreed that the food lacked flavor, complexity, and seasoning. I felt like I was eating pasta at Olive Garden and not an upscale restaurant. Additionally, we did not find out until we arrived at the restaurant that there was a $5 per person cake cutting fee, so my friend did not even get to cut her cake because it would have been $100 to do so, which is outrageous, considering how much money we spent on the lackluster food. Overall, I was not impressed with this restaurant and definitely would not return.

    Jesse V.

    I would give it a 3.5. It is nice and clean. A nice bar area that is inside and outside. The staff was friendly and helpful. The meatball was good but there are other places that have better meatballs. Spicy rigatoni is good as well but leaves more to be desired, other places are better. Chicken parm was good but it took a really time to come out. I finished my pasta and everyone else finished their plate and it still hadn't arrived. Desserts took long too. I would eat here again but wouldn't be my first choice. Would like to try other dishes to see how they fair.

    Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Miami, Casa Gianna is definitely shaping up to be one of my new go-to spots. I stopped by for a quick lunch just to try it out, and it did not disappoint. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was fabulous--stylish without feeling overdone, with just the right energy for a casual yet elevated meal. The menu looks promising, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. A solid addition to the downtown dining scene. If you're in the area, I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try!

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....

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.

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.
