Marcel C.

Great spot here in West Kendall - pasta was very well made and presented. Service was attentive. Food did take a little bit, even though the restaurant was slow - but the food and the sangria made up for it.

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!!!

Rigatoni bolognese

Tiramisu
Alejandro H.

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!!

Italian Decor!

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.

Rose and sangria
Katy A.

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

Inside
Gus L.

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

Emiliana:Homemade Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Prosciutto, Arugula, Reggiano(awesome, great taste and the flavor out of this world) 10
Roger C.

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.

THE BEST DATE-NIGHT ROMANTIC SPOT IN MIAMI…read more Pane y Vino is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right: charming, delicious, romantic, and completely unique. The décor has so much personality, and the entire experience feels wonderfully old-school--from the attentive service to the little details that make you feel genuinely taken care of. The owner is lively, charismatic, and absolutely charming, faithfully tending to her guests and making the whole room feel warm and personal. And then there's the food. The carpaccio was exceptional: paper-thin slices of fresh beef topped with delicately sliced mushrooms and a unique lemon crème that made the whole dish sing. The mussels were enormous, served in a spicy tomato broth so delicious you'll want to finish it with a spoon. Just when you think it can't get any better, dessert arrives. Homemade, gourmet, and prepared right at your table--and somehow it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. It's genuinely spectacular. The surprise hint of Nutella hidden beneath the delicate finger cookies takes it completely over the top. And if you love eggplant parmigiana, theirs is top of the line. The portions are hearty, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and experience, and the atmosphere is made for a romantic night out. One warning: make your reservation in advance. Pane y Vino gets packed, and once you experience it, you'll understand why.

Mirco is absolutely amazing. His service is stellar, always with a great smile and very attentive…read moreto every request. One always think "if they have good ingredients they're going to be good" but apparently, Pane e Vino misses this notion: they have the best ingredients for sure but also the master hand of incredible chefs that make every dish unique. My mum had the Cannelloni di la Nonna, smooth, and delicious. My dad had the Maltagliatti, and he didn't talk after he finished. I was celebrating my birthday. And I asked for the Alla Ruotta, but with Pappardelle. Made Al dente, this pasta was smooth, with a a sauce that merged the best Italian tomatoes, and the best Parmigiano Reggiano. I added cheese on top of it, but that's because I'm an absolute fan. Then after they sang Happy Birthday to me - something I didn't ordered - they provided the table with THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIRAMISÙ I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY EXISTENCE. Don't ask the ingredients, enjoy. You're absolutely welcome. Creamy, soft, fresh, all done at the very moment. It makes you question why this restaurant doesn't have a Michelin star... While the concept is the classic "Italian Hole-in-the-wall" and the ambiance is quiet, ideal for a romantic date, with dim lighting and soft music, there's always an artist making pasta at the window, and there's always time for the chiacchiere with Angelo. His stories of life and recipes are great, but also some Juventus talk, and how football evolves... amazing... amazing. Amazing food. Amazing people. Grazie mile, Marco e Angelo! Divina cuccina, divina famiglia! Un grande abbraccio argentino.

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....

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.

Instead of enjoying the meal, I felt cramped and uncomfortable the entire time. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. 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.
