We came for Valentine's Day evening and they were quite busy but still kind enough to accommodate our reservation despite showing up half an hour late (due to Uber cancellations). We were seated outside and the chairs were a bit low. We started with drinks - pisco sour (their specialty) and an espresso martini. As for food, we ordered the arroz con pato, short rib pappardelle, and the black miso cod. Everything was so so flavorful. My favorite was the cod which was paired with this quinoa that was so yummy I've never had such delicious quinoa in my life. The pappardelle was also really creamy and the duck rice was packed with flavor. Overall we really enjoyed our meal! The portions were big too. read more

Back again and it's a perfect Wednesday vibe. It's important to get the right dishes here as there are some standouts. Tirado hamachi is outstanding! Get this. It looks big in photos but it's not as big as it looks - perfect for 2. Sushi bomb was yummy! Had the intimo bomb! Branzino is delicious and it looked great. Snapper filet with risotto- disappointing. It lacked flavor and I don't recommend this dish. It also didn't look appetizing. read more

This was hands down our favorite restaurant in our 3 day visit in Miami! We got the octopus, arroz con Mariscos, a red snapper dish and a dessert (chola rusa recia). Ambiance: 5/5 we chose the outdoor seating option Service: 5/5 Service was outstanding and there were multiple staff serving us Food: 5/5 Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked but the star was the arroz con mariscos (seemed like a blend of paella and risotto)- it was perfectly creamy, seafood was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were well-balanced and rich! My wife said she would come back to Miami just to have this dish! Price: 4.5/5 Overall, we will definitely be back whenever we visit Miami again. read more

I'll be the first to admit, that my first review was a little harsh. I've since been to Intimo multiple times and have always walked out satisfied, full, and happy with their service. They really go above and beyond terms of presentation and taste. I am honestly sad that they don't get more business than they do because I think they deserve as much attention as I can handle. Some of their dishes are just unbearable and hard to find anywhere else. Fan favorite dishes include Braised short rib pappardelle, arroz con mariscos, Carpaccio, and their French toast to end the meal. I look forward to coming here every time I come back to Miami and highly recommend everyone to check them out! It's a beautiful and classy environment where you can enjoy both indoor and outdoor aspects. read more

We had reservations for Valentine's Day. The place was full, but we got caught in traffic due to the boat show and were arriving about 20 minutes late. We gave them a call to let them know and they were able to accommodate. The service was absolutely phenomenal. Our waitress has vast knowledge of the menu, specials and ingredients. She gave thorough and appetizing descriptions of whatever we asked about. We started with the special lychee drink of the day and the raspberry rum drink. The cocktails were refreshing, had great presentation and were creatively delicious. The food left nothing to be desired. The seafood was incredibly fresh and the dishes were flavorful. The only thing that was lacking slightly was the ambiance. The live music (flutist and saxophonist) was great, but the tables were placed way too close to each other. Was a bit difficult to have a private conversation. read more

We were seated very quickly (immediately) when we arrived on time for our 8:00pm reservation on a Friday night. Our waitress was thorough, attentive, and very helpful - especially when we had questions on what to order. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned & he expressed, it was the best he had ever tasted. We also ordered water & we were given a choice between flat & sparkling water (bottled in a glass bottle). These were $7/ea I believe. Our food came out very quickly: first, with our appetizer, then the rolls, and then with our duck entree. Everything was cooked well & was hot when it arrived. PULPITO MOCHICA (appetizer) * grilled octopus w/veggies - One of the best things we ordered. - We demolished this dish. It was hot, cooked well, and bursting with flavor EL GECKO DRAGÓN DE GIANTI (roll) * fried shrimp + cream cheese - this was actually my favorite thing that we ate. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. INTI MAKI* (roll) * Salmon sushi + fried shrimp - this roll had truffle oil on it... which took some getting used to, as it's a very strong flavor, but it was still tasty. ARROZ CON PATO A LA CHICLAYANA * Duck (shareable portion) - I was disappointed with the amount of Duck we received in this dish, as from looking at pictures, it looks the regular portion has the same amount of meat. We basically paid double for a large bed of rice and lentils (and we barely ate any of that). - the Duck was cooked well... but not as flavorful as I had hoped. DESSERT * I can't remember for the life of me what it was called... but it was light a fluffy + A massive amount of whipped cream, some fruit, and a cookie made from almonds (or pecans) that melted in my mouth. - But, it was delicious! Ambiance: - it was intimate... but too loud for my taste. - we were seated by the front door where a very skilled instrumental artist was playing... but the instruments (and her) were too close to our table. I couldn't hear what my husband was saying unless he yelled, and the instruments were so close it hurt my ears at time. We would come back during our next trip... but we would request to be seated farther away from the door & the instruments. read more

My family dined here and this is the feedback we provided to the manager when he reached out: We overall had a lovely time. Here's our detailed experience: What went well: - the attentiveness; our server was ever available and made the experience for my kids memorable. He gently wiped their hands with the hot towels and served them nearly bottomless refills of the amuse bouche broth. - the ambience and decor and our seating placement all rang the right notes - five of our six plated dishes received high marks. The popular sushi roll was excellent and stood out most. The black cod and the quinoa were also delicious. (Waygu nigiri, avocado ceviche and the kids snapper were the other food we got that we liked; also, high marks on the pisco sours) -the cod entree was amazing and a good balance as the server described Areas of opportunity: - starting with why we were there in the first place -- to celebrate my birthday. It was in the reservation notes. Not once was it acknowledged. Not once did anyone ask what brought us in that night to learn the reason. Unfortunately we were tending to our children when the server began his dessert or wrap up process and we didn't inquire about "does IntiMo do anything to celebrate birthdays?" line. - while we appreciated the attentiveness of the server, at a couple points he felt a little too overbearing. There's a balancing act of being attentive and hovering. -many of the specials were not documented on a menu so it was hard to follow what the server was telling us at times. - the udon steak and shrimp dish was way too salty for my husband. He didn't send it back but thinks the server was subtly steering him away from the dish when he inquired, telling him it's "a soy sauce puree." He says his brain in that decisive moment never assigned that salt level to the servers description. He instead thought it sounded good. In hindsight, he says he should have said something while at the restaurant. Perhaps something can be done to reduce the salt in the future or remove that dish from the menu. Overall, all the dishes minus the Udon were delicious, we enjoyed the ambiance and dining experience overall and would come back for their sushi and fish dishes. read more

Second time we've been here on visits to Miami and we've recommended it to many friends. They never disappoint and the friends always thank us! The service is impeccable. Franco was just as phenomenal as Sebastian has been in the past. The whole team is attentive and helps guide you through an extensive and very interesting menu to choose from. The Ceviche and anything we've had from the raw bar is just unreal! Don't miss the Sushi Bombs From the cold and hot apps, to the entrees and desserts, everything is clearly thoughtfully developed and flawlessly executed. The service experience, signature drinks, and the menu all blend the Peruvian and Japanese cultures in thoughtful, interesting, and delicious ways. The top notch servers are all about helping you find what fits your tastes and desires to create YOUR perfect experience. From the signature cocktails featuring Peruvian Pisco, to the sake by the glass selection, and Japanese whiskey old fashion that's hickory smoked at the table. It's all out of this world. Don't sleep on Intimo. 10/10 experience all the way around! read more

INTIMO - Ceviche sampler, crispy rice tuna, hamachi tiradito. - Peruvian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This was easily our favorite meal on our trip to Miami! Everything from the service to the ambiance and food was on point. Our server was Zuliana and I would 100% request her on a future visit. She knew her stuff and had a lot of experience working here. She provided us with the best recommendations and was honest and warm. Nico was a manager who visited our table several times to check on us, and he too was fantastic! They have an incredible team here at INTI.MO. The food... omg the food. I'm so glad we asked Zuliana for recommendations because we wouldn't have tried half the things she suggested, but they turned out to knock our socks off. The tiradito de hamachi was one of my favorites. It had such incredible complex flavor and wonderful textures. A home run. She also suggested we try some of their torched items. We selected the conchita parmesana nigiri and tuna sushi bomb. Both were torched tableside and each was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures. I would have happily ordered more of each! Our final savory course was the classic ceviche with all of the seafood! It was one of the best ceviches I've had, and I love that we got to try so many different types of seafood within. We also tried a couple of desserts, lucuma ice cream and a dulce de leche dessert. The latter was quite rich and sweet but good. The ice cream was a revelation, and a new flavor we had never tried before. From the food to the service and everything in between, INTI.MO stole our hearts and will hands down be the first restaurant I book if I return to Miami in the future! read more

Oh my gosh, my favorite restaurant in Miami!! The place inside is super cozy and modern, but the best part is the food. Wow. Every single thing we tried made us say "mmmmm" outloud. The sushi rolls were awesome but our favorite things were the crispy rice with tuna, sushi bombs, and ceviche. I'm actually going back here in a few weeks and am going to try some of the entrees from here too to give an update on those! But if you want fresh seafood and a beautiful mishmosh of Peruvian and Japanese food, this is your Heaven. read more

Delicious Peruvian food with along with a stylish and flavorful Japanese influence. We started with a Smokey Mezcal and Fresh Passion Fruit Margarita with a hint of fresh Peruvian lime juice and it even came with an extra shot of the super smooth mezcal. Beautiful presentation, with fresh flowers, gold leaf and dry ice. So happy our server Sebastian recommended it. Our wonderful server also recommended we start with the Tuna Sushi Bomb topped with Foie Gras. Such a wild pairing idea, but he said it was a flavor bomb, and after it was caramelized Table side with a butane torch it really was a perfect bite. We even said if we had any room left after our entrees we would order another round for dessert. For entrees, My husband had the Short Rib Pappardelle and he finished every bit. I had a creamy, Seafood Paella which was very good. Excellent quality products and I love that for fine dining they did not at all skimp on portion size. And the service from the Hostesses, to the gracious Managers who walked around and spoke with every table to Sebastian who was so knowledgeable about the menu and helpful. Thanks to everyone at @inti.momiami for providing us with such a great fantastic dining experience in South Beach! #APerfectDay #ilovetravel #DogMom #foodie #tampabayrealtor #GratefulandBlessed #bridget_breland_realtor #Bridgie_Breland_Foodie #yelptampabay #yelpelite #southbeach read more

I fully expected to scorn South Beach's flashy facades as having more sizzle than substance. But my dinner at INTIMO proved even a scene-y place like this can surprise and delight with a deft kitchen and live musical entertainment to boot. At first glance, INTIMO felt pulled out of a glitzy magazine spread-- all aquamarine and gold hues, underwater themed decor and live violinists playing covers of top 40 hits, which is what made the place feel VERY Miami. Nestled inside these decadent trappings is this excellent Japanese Peruvian restaurant with delicious bites. Skeptical as I was when I arrived, one bite of their sushi rolls and sip of their cocktails had me transfixed in wide-eyed admiration. Far from basic nigiri and sushi pieces, here were some thoughtfully composed plates as much as for savoring as they were for picture taking amidst these see and be seen tables. INTIMO is both an entertainment space and gastronomic contender. It taught me not to judge a restaurant by its cover, or its violinists. read more

From Aiden, I'm only 10 years old and this was one of my favorite food experiences!! Franco was an amazing waiter! He gave us suggestions and all of them were amazing! For example the sushi bombs were covered in gold flakes! I thought that the gold was a very good design! There wasn't much noise so it was nice and quiet . There were fresh flowers that made the restaurant smell amazing! He did an amazing job giving great suggestions. 5+ stars!! Aiden read more

The food was incredible at Intimo!! I've been a long time fan of Ceviche 105, and just learned that the chef is connected to both restaurants. To start, the restaurant interior was pretty and comfortable. My husband and I ordered 2 smaller dishes and 2 entrees. We had the crispy rice with tuna, the snapper bao buns, the short rib with pappardelle, and the duck prepared 3 ways. The food was phenomenal. It was beautifully plated and full of flavor. The short rib dish is one of the best short rib/ pasta dishes I've ever had. It was the better of the 2 entrees. Sadly we were too full to try dessert, but it looked sooo good. The only criticism I have is for the service. Our waitress provided no guidance in how to order, which is helpful with a large and varied menu such as Intimo's. When we asked about our appetizers she named things she liked and didn't provide feedback about what we were interested in. She also was visibly disappointed when we didn't order alcohol. I hope the servers are encouraged to offer better service because it adds so much - and takes away from the experience, depending on who you get. I think Peruvian Japanese fusion food is exciting, and I hope to dine here when in Miami again. I give 5 stars for the food. read more

One of the best places I've had in Miami hands down and one of the best services I've encountered at a restaurant. Peruvian and Japanese may be one of my favorite fusions now. Ambiance We had arrived at 10, a little before kitchen closing and they welcomed us with open arms and not rushed at all (though we personally did). As soon as we were seated, we were presented with oshibori (hot towels to clean our hands). The water was Evian (my favorite) and we were served with a complimentary fish broth base drink. First time I had it and I enjoyed it. The interior is stunning and I enjoyed their choice of music (light techno). Food We got the Ceviche Avocado (contains mixed sea food in a zesty sauce with avocado pieces). We got Atún sushi bomb, first time I have something like that, and man it was good. We got the J-CH roll which came in a base of sauce that tasted delicious! All of these were recommendations and we loved them! We proceeded with the Aroz Con Pato A La Chiclayana (a duck dish with a cilantro base rice mixed with peas and carrots and a chalaquita salsa and a fried egg to top it off). Delicious. I loved it. The duck was delicious and the rice was splendid. We weren't able to finish the single option but I definitely would recommend the share option if you're very hungry. We had gotten 2 cocktails alongside the food. The Berry Larry and the Pisco Sour with a passion fruit base (the other option was a lychee base). Both were really good. And if you love alcohol, you can definitely taste the alcohol. We ended the meal with the recommended Secreto Del Inca (a French brioche bread submerged in a milky-English sauce served with berries and an ice cream scoop on top). Yummy!! Not a single dish disappointed. In fact, they all exceeded my expectations. Service The service was great. Our waitress Zuliani Nunez was wonderful. She checked on us multiple times, handed me an additional oshitori, was always picking up papers and napkins off the table, aided with recommendations that definitely did not disappoint. And at one point, I had dropped my still wrapped packaged chopsticks on the floor and as I was picking them up, she came from across the restaurant and replaced them for me because they fell. It was definitely service I was impressed with. Roema picked up used utensils, continuously cleaned the table and presented us with new plates for the dessert. Definitely 5 star service. Definitely recommend and definitely a place I will be revisiting. read more

When your goddaughter says she wants sushi for dinner. Sushi it is! Closest restaurant was Íntimo so gave it a try since friends have spoken highly about it. Cocktails are strong and that's always a good idea! Ordered different rolls and share among us all. Can't remember the names but some were extremely good while others lacked in flavor. Dessert was definitely the winner and the dulce le leche reminded me of the one I had plenty in Argentina. There's closer sushi places far better than this establishment. Server wasn't very attentive had to keep calling the host to get him to order food/drinks. read more

Came here for the first time on Mother's Day, Franco took care of us and made it super special for my mom and I. He was able to explain the menu and give recommendations in two languages so everyone felt included. We got started with Franco's recommendation of wine which was Albariño and it was definitely what we were looking for as we wanted something intense with acidity instead of sweet. The food was delicious we got the traditional ceviche, oysters and octopus tiradito as appetizer. For the kids we got fish and chips (real fish) which comes with a portion of rice so is very filling. As main course we got acevichado roll, salmon misa and seafood cau cau Can't recommend enough this place and Francos service, can't wait to be back. read more

INTIMO - Peruvian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The restaurant is very nicely decorated with indoor and outdoor options. We were surprised with some nice, live electric violin music playing top 40 songs. Dinner kicked off with a fish broth "palette cleanser" which tasted like salty fish water- not ideal. The rest of the meal was better. The original ceviche was nice quality fish and a lime sauce with some fresh cilantro sprinkled throughout- nothing to rave home about. The sushi roll we ordered originally came with torched smoked salmon, but we substituted it with raw salmon and it upleveled the roll alongside truffle oil, crab, and panko. Highly recommend. The arroz chaufa was very protein heavy, which we appreciate. I hadnt had chaufa with chinese sausage in it but it was a great addition. Overall, it was a decent dinner option in the area. read more
