As an Italian, who grew up deeply connected to Italian cuisine, Cotoletta feels like walking straight into the heart of an Italian home. Everyone in the crew was brought from Italy and trained to offer the most authentic experience, nestled in the heart of Coconut Grove. The owners are usually greeting you at the door and taking you to your table, making this one of the closest and most connecting dining experience you can have in any Miami setting. To make everything better, the food surpasses the high standards of service without a question. Being a concept unlike any other in Miami, the late lunch/dinner menu is prefix with several options for sides, none of which you could go wrong with. The appetizers are the perfect introduction to transport you into the heart of Napoli, followed by the most exquisite bone-in Veal Cotolleta Miami has to offer. If that already sounds too good to be true, the sides and desserts are only going to leave you more shocked. Oh, and the unexpected cherry on top is that the experience comes at the very un-Miami-like price of $80 for 2 people. What more can you ask for? read more

It's an unusual concept: just one item on the menu and a tad pricey? Six of us ventured there one Sunday and were surprised that you absolutely needed reservations (which we had.) it was kind of small and every table filled. It's $90 for 2 people. Besides the La Cotoletta Milanese, you picked from 2 from 4 antipastos. Drinks are extra, as was dessert. Since we had six of us, we got all of the side choices and shared. And we got wine and beer and prosecco and tiramisus at the end. It was great. I think they have a sister restaurant specializing in another Italian dish, and we all vowed to go soon. read more

Highly recommend. Had the most amazing dinner here. We had reservations but still had to wait about 40 min for our table. Almost left but I knew it must have been worth it.... And it is! Get ready for the most perfectly crisp huge delicious veal ever. And the sides which change, were perfect. Definitely go for the zucchini fries. And don't skip dessert .. best tiramisu. Small but great dejection of wine. Service is quick and the space is very romantic. read more

Interesting concept, I guess. There is a set menu that doesn't change. It is for two people. I'm not really sure what happens if you are three people at dinner or if you're just one person because it is a menu for two people only. You get a veal cutlet Milanese and 2 sides, and 2 appetizers. It is always veal cutlet Milanese. I'm not sure if the appetizers or sides change. Our appetizers were two pieces of bruschetta, and two pieces of Arancini. They were both very, very good. For our side dishes, we had an arugula salad and zucchini fries, both fine. The veal cutlet was a nice size. To be honest it had a strange taste to it. I thought kind of gamey, an off flavor that I didn't care for. But overall, I suppose it was OK but considering this is the only thing they make it certainly wasn't anything special. Definitely no place I'd run back to. read more

WOW!! Just wow, this place is a must-go, I'd say a weekly go to. The service was incredible, young servers with amazing attitude. A fixed menu which is out of this world. The Arriabata was a bit spicy like they said and perfect. I absolutely loved the vibe of the place so full and busy the entire time. The cotoletta with the bone in was incredible, tender, delicious and perfect. The zucchini fries were a hit! JUST RUN NOW. read more

Cotoletta is truly one of the most unique dining experiences I've had in a long time. The concept is simple ...there's only one thing on the menu, and honestly, that's all you need. For $80 (for two people), you get a beautifully curated meal that includes two appetizers and a shared entrée, the cotoletta. It starts with a bruschetta and an arancini which is a truffle infused rice ball that's deep-fried to perfection. I've had arancini before, but never like this. It was rich, flavorful, and absolutely phenomenal. Then comes the main course , the cotoletta , a perfectly breaded veal cutlet served with lemon. It's meant to be shared, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Crispy, tender, flavorful... I now understand why this place is getting so much attention. Sometimes simplicity really is the secret. While we waited for our table, we checked out 3190, a newly opened wine bar just a couple doors down from the same owner. It had such a cute and cozy vibe, perfect for a pre dinner drink. They also offer a small food menu (just lasagna!) which looked incredible. I'm already planning my next visit just to try that. Cotoletta and 3190 are doing something different and it works. Highly recommend!! read more

Amazing!!!! Best veal cotoletta I've ever had! We are only in town for two nights at an Airbnb and this was right down the street! I think the only reason we got a table was because it's a Monday night! If we lived here, this place would be on repeat weekly. read more

Cotoletta - Delish!!! - Salad Near Me - Miami, Florida

I enjoyed my time at Cotoletta. While I'm not usually a big fan of veal, I still found it pretty tasty, the lemon adds a nice touch, and although the dish is simple, it has enough flavor. I loved the spicy penne and the appetizers they bring out to start the meal. The service was great as well. The restaurant is small with limited tables, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. read more

Cotoletta - Salad Near Me - Miami, Florida

Cotoletta has one, and only one, main dish. This allows them to do it well, and do it quickly. The veal milanesa is sized and priced for two, and comes with bruschetta, arancini, and 2 sides. The fries and zucchini fries are crispy and tasty. The arugula salad in my opinion is a must, although I do wish it was bigger. Our servers have always been great. read more

What a great experience we had at Cotoletta! I need to confess I was a bit annoyed reservations were only via phone call - but i really wanted to check it out so I called and they made my resy for the next day right away. So from that phone call to the actual dinner, its fair to say the service was incredible. The "one option" menu makes our lives easier and every plate was delicious, but the Milaneze is really the star of the dinner! It was so big - we both ate and still took leftovers home. We also loved the house white wine - really light and refreshing, perfect for the miami heat. The place is really small (the tables are very close to each other) and can get a little loud, but i think its good for a date night. Great price for what you're getting and overall amazing experience. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

Believe it or not I had never had Milanese before trying it at Cotoletta and I'm so glad that this was my first. I have to start my review off by gushing about how hospitable the team was here. I walked in around at 5:30 pm with two friends, my small dog, and no reservations. They still happily accommodated us and kindly let us know that we would have an hour before the reservation who would need our table would come in. I said, as long as you can feed us in an hour, we're game! And so the experience began. It was clear that they worked well as a team--everyone was on the same page, they explained the menu and how it worked really well, and never once did I feel rushed. As a matter of fact, when I asked about how much time we had left, the response, "don't worry about that, this is your time to enjoy your meal." Like, what?! Amazing. On to the food: delicious. From the yummy little starter olives to the way that the lemon brightened the tender Milanese to the light crisp of the fried zuchinni side, it was a definitely a meal to delight in. And though their concept mainly focuses on two-person dining (so it's the perfect date spot) they still offered a great deal and portion size for a single diner. The ambiance was my favorite--we got to see it transform from quiet early dinner to a lively full house. The way the team worked around each other was like a dance and the vibe of everyone inside added to the big happy family dinner vibes. Cotoletta is must try! But please...even though they were so lovely and accommodating don't be like me--make a reservation! read more

Cotoletta in Coconut Grove is a small Italian restaurant where you need to call ahead for reservations. Their main course is the fried veal Milanese, served with a selection of sides, you can choose from pasta, fries, or salad, and it also comes with arancini balls and tomatoes with mozzarella. The veal was perfectly cooked, juicy, and well-seasoned, and everything including the desserts was delicious. Service was exceptional with an authentic Italian staff. Indoors is cozy, outdoors can get noisy, and parking is limited to street or nearby garages. Overall, 10/10 and I'll definitely be back. read more

The worst cotoletta We had! Also too overpriced! For $90 I thought it's going to be good...

Enjoyed Cotoletta it is a small intimate restaurant that only has one thing on the menu and to be honest it doesn't need anything else. Came here with my wife and my son so the way the menu works is that it's set for two you get predetermined apps, which was a bruschetta with ricotta cheese very good and then some truffled Arancini, which were phenomenal. Then comes the main course and an absolute beauty of a pounded out veal chop breaded fried delicious. We got the two sides of a salad and the spicy pasta spicy pasta hit perfect. Service was fantastic from a nice young man who was on top of many tables and taking care of us very well. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

This was not a meal, it was an experience! When a restaurant offers a very small menu, it has to knock it out of the park. And OMG they did! The place is cozy and crowded and that makes it perfect! I felt as if I was somewhere in Italy. Loved everything about this place and the star of the show, veal cotoletta, was done to immaculate perfection. The appetizers included were arancini and bruschetta. Both were great! We also tried all the side dishes (we were a big group). Fries, very well done. Zucchini fries, amazing! Pasta Arrabbiata, finally someone knows how to make it right! Arugula salad, simple and delicious. For dessert I made the sacrifice to have a cafe affogato. I can't recommend this enough. If I could give it more stars, I would. Make sure you call for a reservation and if you are driving, plan extra time to find parking. read more

This place is small and intimate but gets crowded pretty fast in the grove. The waiters are very attentive and you will be served quickly so the wait isnt too long. They have two apps - the prosciutto and the Arancini. The veal is the main and then you get two sides from five options. I went with the arugula and the penne bolognese. Everything was very good and the restaurant overall had great service and great vibes. read more

I love that you don't have any options. If you come here, it's because of the Cotoletta and that's what your eating. Friendly staff, service was excellent and the Cotoletta was great! They have sides to choose from but again, no menu. Restaurant is very pretty inside, nice and clean. Thank you for a wonderful dinner! read more

This coconut Grove is a little neighborhood gem with very simply one dish! Cotoletta alla Milanese (veal) 2 Antipasti 2 Sides $80 serves two Immediately upon arrival, our friendly server placed some green olives in front of us and asked us what we would like to drink. They have a white, a red and Prosecco. We went with a bottle of Chianti, an extremely easy to drink light red, paired great with the fried veal, was $45. The antipasti was great, bruschetta with burrata on focaccia. And Arancini, rice balls over an irresistible Parmesan truffle sauce that wasn't too truffle and was super flavorful. In fact, we enjoyed the opening so much. We ran it back and had another round which was an additional $30. In retrospect, the veal was huge and we could have skipped running It back. We were given choice of sides with our veal. We went with the zucchini fries, and the pasta. A man came by shredding cheese on top of the pasta, and we asked them to do the same on the zucchini fries. Both were very enjoyable.. For the star of the show the bone in Cotoletta alla Milanese was huge! Perfectly crisp and thin a splash of lemon was perfect for it, this filled us up incredibly well, we were struggling for the last few bites. You could probably order another side or two and share the it with at least three people maybe four. For dessert, we went with the tiramisu which was delicious light and creamy. Out the door with the extra round of antipasti a bottle plus a glass of the red, and the dessert we spent $220, but if you solely wanted to try the $80 special, you could get out of there at about $105 with tax and tip. Great place and next time I have a craving I'll be sure to return. read more

*REVIEW IS ONLY ABOUT THE SERVICE* First off, the food at Cotoletta is really, really good. No complaints there. However, I recently tried to go again and the manager delivered such an awful customer service experience that I feel compelled to share so that they (he) can improve. We attempted to walk in at 5:30PM (opening time) on a Saturday (just 2 of us). As we are local and have done a walk-in before, we didn't think this would be an issue. We actually arrived at around 5:25 to ensure it wouldn't be an issue so as to beat the rush of the 6PM+ crowd. Upon entering the manager asked if we had a reservation. We said no, just walk-in. Now, mind you, there were ZERO people there at this time. None. Just the manager and a waiter. Chairs were still on tables as they were preparing to open. Manager returns, I can give you a table outside. Again. There are ZERO people at this time. It was 90 degrees and humid so we let him know we did not want outside. Manager replies "ok let me see what I can do." At this point it was actually insulting that the manager had to "check" to see if he could fit us in when zero people were there. We told him forget it, we don't need all the headache and BS just to walk in and try to spend our money and to be told they weren't sure if they could "fit us" in an empty restaurant. I understand that a popular restaurant may be full with pre-committed reservations, however, it doesn't take an MBA in customer service to know you can squeeze in 2 people into an empty restaurant and that you will be able to operate just fine. I also don't fault the restaurant for this so much as the manager who was running the place at that time. We'll definitely be back for the food, but try to up your customer service for local walk-ins, please. read more

There is only one standout item on the menu "Cotoletta all Milanese", and it is executed flawlessly. While a selection of side dishes is available--I chose the salad, which was fresh and delicious--the true star is the Wiener schnitzel, cooked to absolute perfection. Priced at $80, the dish is generously portioned for two and well worth it. The service is impeccable, and the restaurant itself is quaint, warm, and inviting. We arrived early without reservations, and the experience still exceeded our expectations. Pure deliciousness from start to finish. Go--you will not be disappointed. read more

This place takes the guess work out of what to order, no menu, straight to the point, veal Milanese all day everyday! $80 set price for 2 people gets you 2 preset appetizers, 2 side dishes you get to choose from out of about 4 options and a huge veal Milanese! This small and vibrant restaurant in the Grove seems to be packed every time I pass by, including the Thursday night I went, I couldn't wait to try this authentic Italian spot. Drinks were straight forward as well, options were one type of red wine, one type of white, a prosecco or champagne. Once sat and drinks ordered, all we needed to do was pick our sides. Appetizers came quickly, the bruschetta was crispy with the freshest burrata. The arancini was also really good served on top of a truffle sauce. Soon after our veal Milanese arrived and took up half our table! So perfectly seasoned and breaded, every bite was the perfect bite. The zucchini fries were crispy and the spicy penne pasta was perfection. We were able to finish the apps and sides, however half the veal had to come home with us just because it's so big, but no complaints there! read more

A New Italian Gem in Coconut Grove - Cotoletta is a Must-Try! Cotoletta brings something fresh to Coconut Grove, with a menu built around its signature dish, "La Cotoletta." Every dish we tried was a delight. The arancini and bruschetta as starters were 10/10--one of the best truffle arancinis I've ever had, and the bruschetta was bursting with perfectly balanced flavors. The main event, "La Cotoletta," was deliciously tender, with the perfect amount of breading. A small tip: I'd add a mesh over the lemon to avoid seeds falling on the meat, but that's just me being picky! The dish was light and not greasy, true to Italian culinary standards. For sides, we went with the pomodoro pasta and fried zucchini. While the pasta was a touch soft for my preference (I enjoy it more al dente), it was still enjoyable, and I know not everyone likes it that firm. The fried zucchini was a great choice too! To finish, we had the cheesecake, although the tiramisu and chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream were tempting. Overall, Cotoletta deserves a solid 5/5! I'll definitely be back. Pro Tip: Go for a bottle of wine instead of just glasses; it elevates the experience. read more

Cotoletta feels like a slice of Italy! They only serve Milanesa, and it's the best you'll ever try. The place is small, beautifully decorated, and the service is 7 stars. It can get a little noisy, but hey -- Italians are loud Loved it! read more

The brilliance of Cotoletta lies in their simplicity and flawless execution. Their main dish is one item, and it is by far one of the best veal milanesa's you'll ever have. With that comes a select number of sides to choose from; all of which, like the main dish, are perfectly crafted. Service was top notch. Just walking to my table, I was welcomed by multiple staff. Our waiter took his time, explaining the restaurant's concept, offering suggestions, and tending to the experience. The atmosphere is very much alive...if you're looking for a quiet dinner, this probably isn't the place. The ambiance is a bold blend of playful elegance and modern edge that makes it a very immersive and entertaining experience. Overall, I was extremely impressed by every aspect of this visit, and for the $80 cost for a party of 2 (which includes 2 starters, veal milanesa, and 2 sides) I will definitely be coming back. read more

Cotoletta - Milanesa - Salad Near Me - Miami, Florida

I am sorry to say I don't see what all the hype is about at Cotoletta. The Ambiance is cute for a small restaurant but the volume in the place is unbearable. I found that I was yelling the entire time I was there so we could hear each other, it was so bad we had to lean all the way into the table to hear each other and we definitely could not cross talk. Service was good nothing over the top. I have had Milanese many times before coming here and I have to say, it was average. It is important to have the bone in veal chop pounded evenly and it was not, too thin in some places and too thick in other places and a little too oily. The sides were tiny! I appreciate the idea behind 80bucks includes two pieces of an appetizer and two sides but so NOT worth it. The things I liked the most was the two pieces of appetizer the "bruschetta" in quotes because bruschetta usually doesn't have burrata on top( no complaining about that loved it)! The arancini were delish. If you're looking for a perfect Milanese that comes with arugula, Portosole in Coral Gables is my go to place. Lastly, most Italian restaurants do not rush you out the door. But sure enough the waiter and either owner or host literally asked us to leave. Mind you we were there with a reservation and dinning under two hours, classless to ask people to leave, we ordered additional glasses of wine and dessert which the dessert was disappointing, I've eaten many flourless chocolate cakes and this was so dry and crumbly, mediocre at best. They could care less about your experience it was more about how many times they can turn the table over and charge $80 per couple. We won't be back, Italian in Miami is highly competitive I'd rather spend an extra 50 bucks on another restaurant than this place that is just okay. Another trendy social media miss! read more
