Seemed to be made fresh without mixes and with good ingredients. They were very creative as well. We also got the burrata and the fried calamari with zucchini. Both apps were great! The burrata was so refreshing and the calamari was perfectly fried--not chewy at all. The marinara also seemed very fresh and was delicious. Ambiance is classic white table cloth and on the fancier side. Service was fantastic. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations.

My husband and I stumbled upon here looking for a dinner spot walking the Surfside area. We decided…read moreto sit outside since the weather was nice. The service was very hospitable and attentive. We were really Blown Away by our food since you didn't do any prior research before coming here. We ordered the calamari and Capri salad, and ordered there pear pizza and osobucco. I was blown away! The pizza was well cooked, fresh bread, perfectly cheesy and well balanced with pear and truffles. The obobucco was amazing, the lamb fell off ghe bone and rice melted in your mouth. I highly recommend this place and it will definitely be someone I intend to visit each trip Im in Miami.

The Linguine Salmone is normally only available for dinner, but they were kind enough to accommodate my request and make it for lunch. I have to say--it did not disappoint! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They also serve complimentary bread and butter, which was a nice touch! On top of the great food, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. This is definitely going to be one of my new go-to lunch spots since it's so close to my job!

Casa Mia Trattoria is an excellent restaurant!…read more I love how bright and beautiful the decor is inside. While still remaining elegant, cozy and charming. The staff here is exceptional, very attentive. The atmosphere is positive, kind and happy. There's an outdoor seating area if you're in the mood, but we opted to sit inside because it was very cold for me outside. As soon as you sit down you're greeted with a smile. Meanwhile, they offer still or sparkling water and warm bread, while they take your drink orders. The bread was soft, warm and gooey. Already warming me up. We both ordered Coke Zeros to drink. We ordered the following appetizers & entrées: Fritto di calamari e zucchini. Calamari & zucchini fried to perfection, served with spicy marinara sauce and a nice lemon. This classic, crispy Italian appetizer was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend 100%. Ravioli al Nero di Seppia con Gamberi. Black squid ravioli with shrimp. A one of a kind delightful, decadent dish blasting you with flavor. Finally, the absolutely best item - NOT ON THE MENU - The Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. This scrumptious entrée was truly the highlight of the meal! I asked if they would make it for me and they did! This dish makes your mouth water with it's creamy, delectably smooth Alfredo sauce and moist, tender, well seasoned chicken!!! The wonderful server also brought out a large dish or parmesan cheese and brought me extra alfredo sauce - yum!! This is my favorite dish, I love it, It will not disappoint. It tastes even better off the menu. I'm not sure how I never made it to this restaurant before, but it definitely won't be the last time. I love supporting local businessess. 100% recommend. 100% will return.

Now for the food... for apps, we had ricotta meatballs, fiocchi, and truffle fries - all 10/10, but man, that fiocchi was mind-blowing... some of the best we've ever had. For mains. I had crab ravioli (perfection), my bestie had cacio e pepe, my husband had gnocchi with chicken, and my friend's hubs had an off-menu mushroom risotto with shrimp that was suggested by the server - literally no misses here, everything was top-tier. Dessert? Tiramisu, creme brulee, and Nutella mousse/ice cream hybrid - all amazing. The ambiance was great. Even the valet was reasonable. Great night, great food. Would go back in a heartbeat.

This has been a quiet Sunday dinner spot for me, but my experience this week was less than spectacular & friendly. It started off great! The burrata with prosciutto and sweet balsamic glaze was delicious as I had come to expect. The first bump started with my bolognese. Sure, the taste & quantity was as delicious as always but I have never been to an Italian place where I had to spray the black pepper myself. Usually it is applied by server. OK, let's ignore that one for now. But then came my dessert. The ricotta cheesecake I ordered was not what I expected. It was a little too dense, and unlike other places I've had cheesecake at, it had no berry topping. I certainly was not feeling and commented as much to my waitress. She took the plate that I struggled to be halfway through and had a less than friendly face. I did get it removed from my check, but again the service did not feel as friendly as it had been before, even though the restaurant was not that full. I am hoping this was just a one off.

I've been here more than 20 times since it opened in the old BBQ space. Until today, that was an…read moreeasy recommendation: friendly service, food that never let me down. Whatever happened since then--new ownership, a bad night, a kitchen that forgot it was open--it was a complete collapse. I walked in at 5:45 p.m., not opening or closing time. The room looked half-abandoned. Decorations were only partly put up; the rest were dumped around like someone had given up mid-job. TVs sat dark with error screens. The pizza oven was off and covered. That should have been the warning. I ordered pizza anyway. They fired the oven after I ordered. What came out was the worst thing I've been served here. The crust was doughy. The chorizo was room temperature and clearly thrown on after the pie left the oven. No check-in from the waiter while I sat with it. When it was obvious I was done, she came back to upsell dessert. I said no and told her the food was horrible. No apology. No offer to fix it. Just silence at the register. Twenty-plus good visits don't buy this. I won't be back.

As the day deceased, we trekked into Osteria Del Teatro to mark our night with something we hoped…read morewould be special. You see, my fiancé and I came to Miami for a marriage retreat and we had spent all of our Saturday in the grace of the church and God. That said, we weren't expecting to stumble upon a restaurant that was truly ELITE. Walking in, we were greeted by the owner, Gilbert. He promptly sat us and made us feel welcome. Our server, Juan Francisco, laid out the ins and outs of the menu. He was very professional, attentive and kind. He repeated things whenever we asked and made sure to provide the best experience that he could. I had even spilled some of my drink and the staff rallied around me to fix it and make sure our experience was still top class. After a quick gulp of my espresso martini, which was an easy top 5 espresso martini, I decided to ask the owner what the staples of the restaurant were. Good Old Gil made it easy, he was calmly seating people whilst checking on guests with the regularity and charm that you would come to expect of a family member hosting a great party. You could tell that he enjoyed what he did. He quickly laid out what the crowd favorites were, made some jokes and returned to the front of house. Determined to be like OJ, we took a stab at the crowd favorites. We ordered Lobster Salad, Ravioli Di Zucca and Pollo Alla Champagne. Starting with the Lobster Salad: This dish slapped me in the mouth. Words cannot accurately describe the feelings I have for this dish nor can anything I do convey what my fiance was going through when she tried it. This is one of the greatest dishes we have ever ordered from anywhere, period. My fiance said "this salad alone makes the whole trip down here worth it" My fiance ordered the Ravioli Di Zucca: creamy, soft and delicious. Savory and sweet. I was only allowed a mere bite. That's how good it was. She was like Adebayo on defense, keeping me away from the Ravioli. I ordered the Pollo Alla Champagne: absolutely sublime. Creamy, decadent but elegant and airy. It packed a punch in flavor. Texture was on point and the sundried tomatoes took the dish the distance. I had to take the chicken home because I had gotten full off of wicking the sauce up with bread. But absolutely amazing. I'm actually finishing it while I type this up. Again, I cannot compliment the service enough. The owner checked up on us a couple more times. Not too much But enough that it reminded you of what a family owned restaurant was before social media and phones took over. There were a couple other servers that checked up on us even though we weren't "theirs". The server was even kind enough to remind me that there was a gratuity included in the final bill. But when the service is great on multiple fronts you tip. I've worked in this industry and the norm for me is 20% for great service. The gratuity was 18% and I was going to make sure they got the 20%. Not much, I know, but enough to give the notion of an excellent experience. You know, personally I don't like Miami. For a metropolis, it's awfully dark at night. And the cost of food at most restaurants is crazy. Don't even get me started on the people. I am not a fan of - I digress. South Florida is just not for me and I cannot wait to never come to it again. That said, I may go out of my way to come back to Osteria Del Teatro because that's how thoroughly impressed we were. My fiance and I have been blessed to eat all over the place. We just moved back to Florida after living in Philadelphia for the last two years. We were blessed to eat at some amazing places up north. Philly is a fat kid's heaven, it's full of incredible places. Places we thought were going to be hard to beat before we stumbled upon the Michael Jordan of the restaurant scene. Osteria is top tier. It's one of the best, if not the best, dining experience we have ever shared. The food was amazing, the staff were excellent and the drinks were killer. To top it off, the price of everything was competitive. We walked out blown away. Osteria Del Teatro deserves to reign as the best Italian restaurant in the state for as long as they can remain consistent. It's giving ELITE. In service, food and drink it is unrivaled. It's the type of restaurant where you would expect to book reservations a month or two in advance - and yet you don't have to. I'm not just saying that. Stellar job. - BG

I'm heart broken! I usually like this restaurant but today was not good, the lunch experience is…read morevery different from dinner.

The restaurant didn't have the right parmesan-cheese to be grater at the table, they only the packaged already grater cheese.
