    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Outstanding! One of the best dinners I have had in a while. I've never had this cuisine but now that I have there is no turning back. Every meal was like a work of art, delicate and delicious. Helpful staff. Beautiful yet cozy decor. Interesting drinks. Loved the vibe of the saxophonist. Made for a very special evening, an exquisite culinary experience!

    Salmon Misa Miso sushi roll
    Madison N.

    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.

    Loved the Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese) sushi rolls we shared. Pricey but a really fun date night spot in South Beach. Live music could've been a little better.

    Increíble great service, presentation, ambiance, gastronomy. Food was excellent. If you are on a budget and hungry, this might not be for you. It's a bit pricey, but an excellent experience.

    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

    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.

    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

    Duck 3 ways with LOTS of rice
    Sheila R.

    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.

    This Peruvian place is one of our favorites, the food, cocktails and service is spotless. A cozy place in the caos of south beach, that delivers fresh, excellent and unique interpretation of Peruvian classic dishes, pair with superb cocktails.

    J-CH roll on the left, 105% roll on the right. Both amazing.

    Does INTIMO have good vegetarian options?

    Yes! They have the Ceviche Veggie and the Steak Cauliflower (both delicious!). You also have a veggie roll and a couple of salads.

    Do they have a kids menu?

    Didn't see one but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Suggest to call them directly and ask. There were a lot of families there having dinner with younger children so I'm sure they accommodate.

    Is there a patio?

    There was a patio when we were there in December.

Our waiter Nick was PHENOMENAL at his job and so so kind. We tried the large stone crab claws of course and although I liked how much meat you get compared to other crab / lobster, it tasted of very little and was kind of semi frozen almost? The sauce to dip in was really good. As for the sides, I liked them! Nothing was mind blowing but they were good. My favorite were the grilled tomatoes with spinach and cheese. SO flavorful and cheesy. The corn was pretty average, just mostly limey. I did really like the potatoes lyonnaise though perhaps some cheese would've brought it to the next level.
