    Limoncello cake

    I can't say enough good things about this fabulous restaurant. The place is so pretty and elegant. White tablecloths. Change of cutlery between entrees. Lovely orchids decorate your table. Just wonderful! The service was fantastic! My sister and I were fortunate enough to be attended by Jessica. Such a wonderful personality!!! Perfect for the surroundings. And the food... oh my gosh. DELECTABLE!!! She brought us bread, hot and toasty, along with not only olive oil and vinegar, but with freshly shaved parmesan. We had the meatball appetizer which was exquisite. Then, I had the four cheese gnocchi and my sister had fettuccine with mushrooms and prosciutto in a creamy truffle sauce. Sooooo good and more than enough to bring leftovers home. Lastly we shared a limoncello cake. Divine!!! Can't wait to go back.

    Tiramisu

    We were in the neighborhood today and decided to have an early dinner. We've been wanting to visit here for a while but never had the chance. Well that will no be changing for sure. We plan on coming here much more often now. We had the burrata pugliese for an appetizer. So good! Don't kid yourself the house Cabernet also amazing! They give you focaccia bites on the table as well. For the main we had Ravioli Di Ossobuco Alla Boscaiola which was so savory and amazing. Yes .... I scraped up all the sauce on the plate. Also the Fettuccini al Prosciutto e Funghi e Crema di Tartufo was so light and flavorful. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We finished it off with Torta di cioccolato which was like a dense mousse very good and the star of the dessert was the Tiramisu. I almost ordered another to take home. The cortadito and macchiato also very good. Service was great and the owner (I'm assuming he's the owner) greeted us when we came in and also when we were leaving asked us how everything was. Cannot wait to return! I already know I'm having lasagna della nonna and a cannoli!!!

    Amazing!

    Joanna was our server and made us love our dinner. She is so nice and welcoming! A great family restaurant with great food!. Come by you'll love it

    Tiramisu

    Located way west on Kendall Dr and 163rd in a shopping plaza. Perhaps not the best location but definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in its class in Miami! For appetizers, we had the Carpaccio di Polpo. Absolutely delish! Small slices of beef tenderloin, shaved Parmesan sizzled in Aioli to perfection! Main entree were a Fettuccini al Prosciutto and house special of the evening, an excellent Ossobuco with Risotto! Both dishes were delicious! The Ossobuco. Cooked for over 12 hours just melts in your mouth after each bite! The Fettuccini was cooked as pasta should be cooked, al dente! The addition of the prosciutto gives it the right mix of flavors! Oh I'm a huge fan of tiramisu as well! They good a good one! Overall a really good restaurant. Under new managers and they are doing it right!!

    Went and did it again and it was awesome. Good decor and the same great service. The food was great! I had the Burrata w prosciutto and a nice aged vinegar wow plenty fresh and good . I had the Ossobuco Wow . Not a large stand up but plenty and very tasty. Good sauce and moist fall of the bone yummm! We also ordered a pasta w mushrooms and cream sauce and fried prosciutto OMG ! This is the best I am so sorry I don't remember the name but Lord wowowow i will look up it was awesomeZ. Good wine prices and wines that I have never seen but smooth not too harsh good selection of wines . Pan acota dessert was also good fresh and good coffee espresso Versions and choices. Hopefully i think they will evolve to a great force here in our area.

    Found this restaurant in YELP (thank you helpers) this a beautiful hidden Gem in Kendall. It's located inside a shopping center do there's plenty of parking. The service was fast and super friendly. We ordered a glass of rose and the red sangria (it was delicious ) They will start you with bread which was super good. We ordered the carbonara pasta but my favorite was the prosciutto and truffle one. For dessert we had the panacotta which was delicious too. I highly recommend this place so I hope you come and enjoy

    Hidden jewel in West Kendall, from the moment you walk In the place looks immaculate great decorations all around, started with a pumpkin soup and Burrata appetizers, both were delicious, their wine selection is unknown to me as I mainly prefer California wines, but have to say their house cab was nice, for the main course, shrimp fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana, both delicious ended with a very tasty Tiramisu for dessert. As far as service an attentiveness our server Jessica was fantastic, Highly recommended this restaurant

    The best home made taste pizza. We order for the first time and we will be ordering other items from the menu. I wish I can give more starts but I'm limited. The restaurant is clean, beautiful, hand sanitizer in each table and great decor. People are friendly and the hostess Tiger Lilly B is very nice, warm and helpful. Thank you Ciao Ristorante for baking great tasteful pizza.

    O.M.G. this place is fantastic! I had heard about this place from my manicurist and while running my Saturday errands I got a little hungry and wanted to check this place out. Had it not been for the way I was dressed (chanqueletas, workout leggings, t shirt coming from home depot) I would've totally eaten inside. THankfully they had two tables available outside. We were greeted immediately and given 5 star service from beginning to end. Karla, our waitress, recommended the Carpaccio di Polpo for appetizer and whoa... it was delicious! I honestly have never had anything like it and it is now probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. Aside from it being astetically beautiful it was so yummy I wanted to order another! My son, the pescatarian ordered the seafood pizza. While I didn't taste it, he said it was the best pizza he's had in his life. (All 20 years) =) While pasta is not my favorite food... this particular day I was totally craving some good authentic pasta...and Ciao did not disappoint. I had the Fettuccine al Prosciutto e Funghi e Crema di Tartufo. This delicious plate consists of homemade Fettuccine, proscuitto, mushrooms truffle and cream sauce. I never crave pasta a day later and sure enough...I not only craved the pasta I ordered it again a day later for delivery both the appetizer and the meal! Yea I know, tremenda fattie! Don't judge! We wrapped up our experience with their homemade tiramusu which also left us wanting more. If you're a local of West kendall or not.. you must visit this new gem. You will not be disappointed. Great food, excellent service, and great ambiance. It's been a long time since I've been this impressed with a restaurant in west kendall. Totally going to be my new go to. Please support your local restaurants during this difficult time I would hate to see this one go! They have the perfect set up to ensure all Covid safety procedures are adhered to.

    Chicken Parm
    Ed-man H.

    This place is legit! Good size place with pretty authentic food. Chicken Parm. Excellent!! Crispy crunch crust, soft and juicy on the inside. The cheese is real and delicious you can taste the great ingredients. The fettuccini chicken Alfredo was great also. Creamy and can tell it's home made.

    CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!…read more Dined on a Wednesday night with reservations, place was full by 8 PM. From the moment you walk in the staff are nothing but welcoming and kind. The small space has such a cozy charm that makes you feel like you're dining in the heart of Italy. Our server Mirko gave us time to review the menu and made sure to answer any questions we had. He was very friendly and attentive without overly hovering, and made sure everything arrived while it was still hot from the kitchen. The food was SPECTACULAR! A meal I will certainly never forget. The "Fiocchetti Pere & Parmigiano" was sweet but had a bite from the black sesame; I've never had anything like it. And the tiramisu was delectable without being too overly sweet. Even the wine was delicious! Can't wait to visit again.

All the staff was amazing and helpful, but our waited Pedro truly made the experience. We started off with the Bruschetta Crostini, which was amazing as someone who loves truffle, and the Mozzarella Fritta. Both were amazing but what really blew us away was the Tonnarelli alla Ruota, which was served table side in a parmesan wheel, and the Agnolotti Piemontesi. They even brought out a Tiramisu for my birthday which I thought was insanely thoughtful. As long as this restaurant remains open they will ALWAYS have us as a customer!

    An opulent failed attempt at fine dining…read more At first glance, the place is impressive -- beautiful cars outside, constant traffic of guests walking in, crisp white tablecloths setting the stage for what appears to be a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the illusion fades rather quickly. The first sign of trouble arrives with the server sporting a rather impressive lip piercing, followed closely by a colleague whose diamond nose stud could probably be seen from space. Not exactly the ambiance one expects when aiming for "elegant." Despite the abundance of servers floating around the dining room, none seem to notice when your knife dramatically dives off the table and lands on the floor -- where it enjoys a long, lonely stay. Water service is also quite innovative: they simply leave the entire bottle at the table, which seems less about generosity and more about avoiding the inconvenience of returning to refill your glass. The food? Sadly just as uninspired. From the octopus to the $68 Milanese, every dish managed the impressive feat of being completely flavorless. The Milanese arrived with a beautiful crust, which raised hopes... until you realized there was no sauce, no garnish, and nothing to rescue what turned out to be a remarkably bland plate. Meanwhile, the staff appears deeply committed to minimizing effort -- though not shy about judging you directly when the tip doesn't meet their expectations. All in all, this place feels like fine dining in costume. Perhaps a return to the basics of hospitality and service would be a good start... followed by a serious conversation with whoever is currently in the kitchen. Good luck to anyone brave enough to give it a try.

The food was incredible and of course the famous Spicy Rigatoni Vodka did not disappoint, it was definitely one of my favorites! One of my favorite parts of the experience was the tableside Caesar salad. They made it fresh right in front of you which was such a fun touch and it was absolutely delicious. I also had an espresso martini, which was so good! We ended the night with dessert and got to try a little of everything from the dessert cart, such a fun way to finish the meal. Everything from the food to the atmosphere made this a memorable dining experience. It's definitely on the pricier side but I think it's worth it for a special night out. I would 100% come back!

    This review should really be a 3.5 star for the STAFF and AMBIANCE…read more The STAFF: Excellent customer service and ATTENTIVE. Its been awhile since I have experienced such service standards. They knew the menu well, could make recommendations, etc. The AMBIANCE: Its a very cool place. Mysterious and subdued. Definitely a place to BE SEEN! Drinks: Very good though some seemed as if they put much less liquor than what the drink really needed, i.e. various martinis we all questioned on the amount of alcohol in them. Food: First, its a very cool touch that they bring out salamis and some nice breads. Overall though we really were not impressed with the food. Calamari - Not very good. Everyone took one bite and left the rest. Pasta dishes - We ordered MANY different ones. The portion that comes out will not feed a child. One pasta was undercooked, one was over cooked and mushy. One was just OK. Fish Dish - over cooked unfortunately and this was the most expensive dish we had. Chicken - came out and was so rubbery. No one liked it. Desserts - They all looked good. Chocolate cake was the best. Banana flambe was fun to watch but the result was much less than stellar. Cost - This may just be the priciest Italian-esque restaurant that I have ever been to. Prepare to be shocked by the final bill while still being hungry. Will we go back? Probably but just for a drink at the bar. Definitely not the food.

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.

Charging premium prices while serving such small portions is embarrassing. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. Shame on them!!!! Please don't go.
