The veal Milanese was the standout; perfectly crisp, well-seasoned, and balanced. The insalata tricolore was also a pleasant surprise, a refreshing change from the typical boring restaurant salad. Service deserves a mention too. We had hiccup with one of the dishes and the team handled it gracefully and professionally, without making it awkward, exactly the kind of response you hope for in a good restaurant.

You walk in through their outdoor venue, which is full of greenery and a nice ambiance. They lead you to the bar as you wait for your table. Only con about this is the bar was super full, with people sitting there eating dinner as well. It makes it awkward trying to order a drink and putting your glass down once finishing it. You also are awkwardly stuck moving around to allow the waiters to walk by. Once sat, the service is quick and the waitress we had was super knowledgeable and friendly. Out of all the dishes we tried the polenta was the best! It was perfectly creamy and tasty. That was my first time every trying it and I was pleasantly surprised. You could share two apps with someone and get full easily. The pasta dish I ordered was okay and the tiramisu wasn't anything crazy.

The space just looks like you're transported to the coast, great vibes, even singing for birthdays you can hear from other tables, a real treat from the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach. Highly recommend if you want something a bit more chill and relaxed with great food made with care in the Italian way.

The woman that sat us handed my daughter and I menus and said "for the lady", and handed my very pretty but short haired wife a menu and said nothing. An awkward interaction at best. Next our server came and took our orders and served some delicious warm bread with olive oil and vinegar. The food: Salmon dinner: son said the salmon was tender and flavorful and the veggies were tasty. The potatoes arrived a bit cold. Linguini with clams: my order and everyone at the table snagged a few bites. It was very flavorful with a great presentation. A slightly small portion. Cesar salad with chicken: wife's order. Salad was fine but the chicken was dry. Caciao a pepe (I think) table side pasta dish with pasta tossed in a big cheese wheel with burrata cheese and truffles. This dish was $$$$ and expectations were high. Unfortunately the pasta was VERY COLD and the truffle flavor was completely overwhelming. After about ten minutes we finally got our server's attention and he brought the dish back to the kitchen to reheat. I like truffles to the point where I get truffle fries whenever I can, and have a bottle of truffle oil at home that I use regularly, however, this was a pretty intolerable level of truffle flavor. We left with the dish, mostly uneaten. Besides the food, we ordered three Shirley Temples and one glass of Pinot Grigio. Our total bill was around $280. I had high expectations but for the price point we left feeling very disappointed.

This North Beach classic delivers authentic Italian flavors at seriously discounted prices without skimping on quality. It's the perfect spot to unwind with generous portions and that old-school Miami charm. Food (5/5) Hands down, the Black Linguini Seafood (squid ink pasta with lobster seafood sauce) is the best dish on the menu -- and at just $19.98 during happy hour, it's an absolute bargain. You can choose between a bright tomato sauce or their rich creamy lobster sauce. I went with the lobster version and it was luxurious -- silky, flavorful, and packed with generous pieces of seafood. This dish alone makes the trip worth it. The rest of the Super Happy Hour menu shines too: appetizers like Calamaretti Fritti, solid entrées (Chicken Parm, Marsala, etc.) in the high teens, and craft cocktails like Aperol Spritz or martinis at $9.98-$12.98. Vibe & Service (5/5) The restaurant has a warm, lively neighborhood feel -- think cozy Italian trattoria with friendly staff who make you feel like regulars. It's bustling but not chaotic during happy hour, with a mix of locals (dates and families) and visitors. Cafe Prima Pasta's happy hour is a true gem -- excellent value, standout dishes like that squid ink seafood pasta, and consistent quality after 30+ years. Come early, grab a table, and treat yourself without the splurge. Easily 5 stars for a smart, delicious Miami Beach evening. Highly recommend!

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.
