    Bread

    A very nice restaurant couched within the new Douglas Link complex, with especially beautiful design. This dining room is gorgeous. The food is tasty and the options plentiful, with the risotto being a fan favorite. The bread was fresh, although paying for bread is always a bit of an annoyance - especially since the accompanying olive oil wasn't my favorite. However, we left well-fed and with smiles on our faces due to the great service. With a couple of small changes, such as changing the more "poppy" music station to something softer and better matching the ambiance, I think it could go from good to great.

    Matcha with oat milk
    Anabella V.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. Although is an Italian restaurant they have a breakfast corner and that's where I found myself trying their matcha latte, and it was really good. The Barista/server was a sweet girl very nice and approachable, so for that alone I was lucky. I'm going to try the restaurant next.

    Very attentive and welcoming staff . Food was fantastic ! Will highly recommend . Perfect place to catch up with a friend or for date night .

    White Sangria

    Such a beautiful and nice new restaurant in Coral Gables. I was here with a large group. Our server was Mia, and she was excellent. The service was top notch, and it felt very personable. The food was delicious as well. I had a white Sangria. I will say that while it was tasty, the alcohol was very light. I'd probably go with a different cocktail or just a glass of wine next time. (Idk why my picture of it is sort of blurry! I didn't notice it at the time). For my meal I actually just had the appetizer, Burrata Salad). It was perfect for what I was feeling at the time. There were lots of tomatoes, two large slices of bread, burrata, and prosciutto, and balsamic and pesto. My friend ordered it as well and requested olive oil to add to it, but I felt the flavor was good as it was. The people around me ordered pastas, and everyone loved their meals. Someone also ordered one of the pizzas and said it was good. The restaurant aesthetic itself was very sophisticated and beautiful. I'd love to go back and sit at the beautiful bar one of these days.

    We finally found a pizza we were looking for.......

    Wow and doble Wow. Wow. Wow. What an amazing gem of a place that just opened up in the last month. This is the sister/brother store of Bay 13 & ThreeFold in Coral Gables. The place is quaint with its low lighting and cool bar atmosphere. Ennio waited on us at the bar. He was so happy and professional. Kelly is one of the managers which I met at the other store fronts and had been promoting me to come her for weeks. My wife is a pizza snob and we ordered the margaritta. The dough was fresh and aged properly. The crust was thin and crispy with a soft center. The sauce was light sweet but not overpowering. The cheese was oh so satisfying. Wow and double wow. This is a must try.

    Great new Italian restaurant in the Gables! Gia, the bartender, is the best! Parking is accessible in the Milam's (Cascade Building) Garage at only $4 flat rate. I would highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Pizza and the Meatballs! The menu is reasonably priced, and they offer happy hour 7 days a week from 4pm - 6pm with discounted drinks and food deals.

    Bistecca with Fingerling Potatoes
    George K.

    My wife and I were looking for some good Italian food after a long day of adventuring. We found a few restaurants but zero'd in on Cucina Povera after seeing some great reviews on Google. When we arrived we were the very first customers of the night and had the restaurant to ourselves for quite some time. The location is right off of US1 but quiet and the restaurant had a very upscale dining feel. We were duly impressed by the wonderful service as well as the delicious dishes we had. The Bistecca has phenomenal quality but the flavor of the Beef Ravioli with Peppercorn sauce was unmatched. Will be coming back again soon!

    Cappuccino and Omega avo... so good. Great service too. Thank you
    Alex M.

    Cucina Povera's cappuccino and avocado toast hit the spot! Rich espresso and velvety milk paired perfectly with the smashed avocado on sourdough bread. Cozy atmosphere and great service.

It's essentially a Detroit style square pizza with crunchy caramelized cheese on the crust around the edges. The pepperoni here is first rate--thick cut and crunchy cupped on the pizza. Try to experience the pepperoni if you can. This restaurant is on The Miracle Mile and has limited outdoor seating, but very nice and plentiful indoor seating, as well as a bar area. It's a nice place to eat in. Keep in mind that deep dish pizza just take longer to cook, so it might seem slow to arrive. I would make sure they put the pizza order in as soon as possible and get that ordered first. You will have plenty of time to think about the appetizers and order them.

The setting was actually really nice--quiet, cozy, with a good mix of families and friends. We sat outside and the overall vibe felt promising. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill pretty quickly. As soon as we sat, the waitress greeted us by saying the kitchen was closing at 10 and asked if we already knew what we wanted. It immediately felt rushed and not very welcoming. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which was good--slightly citrusy for my taste, but enjoyable. For food, I had the chicken Caesar salad and my husband ordered the seafood gluten-free pasta. My salad was disappointing--it had more croutons than chicken, which made it feel unbalanced and not worth the price. His pasta was even more underwhelming, with only three shrimp and a few clams. When we brought it up, the manager came over and explained that portions are measured by the restaurant, but offered to add more chicken and shrimp if we wanted. While I appreciate the offer, it felt like something that should have been corrected automatically, not something we had to ask for--especially considering these are full-priced entrées, not side dishes. Overall, the ambiance was nice, but the food and service didn't meet expectations. For the price point, I expected better portions and a more thoughtful response to feedback. Maybe pizza is a safer option here, but based on this experience, I wouldn't return.

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.
