    Rigatoni bolognese

    Fantastic place to eat, food was awesome! Setting was comfortable and quaint! Joanna was great and Chef Esteban is a great chef! Complimenti!!

    Tiramisu
    Anthony M.

    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

    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.

    Veal Piccatta
    Moe P.

    Decided to try it to see how it is with new owners. First of all they didn't have the wine I wanted that was on the wine menu so they offered me another choice at a higher price. No big deal but i would have matched the price. Only 5$ difference. Ordered a caprice salad and it was a tomato sliced 4 ways with the cheese in the middle . Ok. Ordered a margarita pizza and was given a cheese pizza. That's it. When I enquired about the pizza they said that's the way they make it(picture included). My wife ordered the veal piccata and they veal scallopini with capers which was equally as bad . The pasta was overdone also.The severs were good and the ambience was nice, but the food was just not good . Posted a picture of how a margarita pizza should look(not there's ) compare the difference . Won't be back.

Hot, delicious, perfectly cheesy, and the best part? They have all the toppings and seasonings laid out on the table ready for you to dress up your slice exactly how you want it. I had the spinach slice and the pepperoni slice, and both were 10/10. The vibe is casual, quick, and exactly what you need after being out all night. Me and my friends were definitely happy campers by the end of it Highly recommend if you're craving authentic NY-style pizza in Miami.

That experience was a little better. Back then, I had no idea Joe's was a chain from NY because my experiences in LA were so mediocre. But it became nostalgic to me because it was the only pizza spot during the pandemic that got better while other spots got worse so I started ordering more regularly. I was happy to see Joe's here and this time I had to come back for a third time in Miami. The Caprese pie was my favorite. The ingredients here are way fresher than anything I've had in the west coast and the location was much cleaner as well! In general, we were disappointed with Miami's food selection but Joe's in Miami is where it's at! The service was average. They were friendly the first time but not so much the other times. The pizza was amazing though and that's all that matters.

So my very high level of anticipation may certainly be partially to blame for my average-ish experience. I was pleasantly surprised to get a table with no wait at ~6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were high, as expected, but at least the pizzas are of reasonable size. The $32 pasta portion probably could've been a bit more generous. But anyway, on to why we're all here - The Pizza: The crust had a great crunch but I felt lacked nuance beyond that, no chew and a touch on the dry side. Cheese and sauce were fine but also unremarkable. The heaps of basil provided some bright freshness that was definitely appreciated. I feel even more compelled now to try the NYC location for comparison! This wasn't a bad pizza by any stretch but not something I would ever pick over my favorite NYC standouts.

A general unassuming front gives way to a trip to an Italian spot that oozes decor and vibes that you will find in "Europe's Boot" right here in... America's boot? (Keeping it PG here...) The decor when you walk in feels like you are in another country - soccer and Italian (traditional) decor is all around you. The servers and front of house are always bustling around and making sure you are getting everything you want. You feel taken care of, but not smothered... like in Italy. You see a theme here, right? The pizza is crispy, blistered, but with a doughy bite. Perfection. The sauce is made from quality and top ingredients as is everything that a pie can be topped with here. I got the standard margherita pizza with roasted garlic and put red pepper flakes on it and it has been one of my favorite experiences in the US. Everything was chosen and used by someone who knows what they are doing and what to avoid. There wasn't a misstep anywhere in my experience or taste, everything was tried, true, and dare I say... perfect? Washing it down with a Peroni or two, because that is what I did in Italy took me back to my time and experiences there... that's what food can do when you do it right and with the love the OM's delivered.

We asked to do light on the char because I was with my dad and there is no such thing as char in his book, it's burned. Which honestly I kinda agree. The char really just makes the whole bite taste burnt. They were understanding about making it less though.
