I have to confess... I've probably been guilty of gatekeeping this gem for years…read more I've been coming to Basilico for a long time, and yet never got around to writing the review it deserves. This week I realized it was time to share it with my Yelp family. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family. Even if I haven't been there in months, I'm welcomed back as if I was there last week. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare. Over the years I've worked my way through just about everything on the menu. Most of the time I don't even order anymore--I simply ask, "What am I eating today?" They know what I like, and I trust them completely. Whether it's a pasta special, a wine recommendation, or something I've never tried before, they've never steered me wrong. Speaking of wine, their list is excellent. I'm perfectly happy letting them choose a bottle or glass for me, and I've discovered several favorites that way. On this visit I finally ordered the Flank Steak (Vacio de los Andes a la Parrilla), and all I can say is... wow. It was cooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. Honestly, it rivaled steaks I've had at restaurants that specialize in nothing but steak. One tip: if you're coming for lunch, arrive a little early. This cozy spot fills up quickly, and once you've eaten here you'll understand why. Basilico isn't flashy. More like cozy and intimate, excellent for good conversation. It's simply one of those rare neighborhood restaurants that gets the important things right--great food, wonderful people, and consistency year after year. Some places become favorites because of one great meal. Basilico became one of mine because they've been delivering them for years.

I am happy to report that going into La Fresa Francesa today, I was met with the sweetest surprise:…read morethey're expanding! Welcome to Hialeah, Burgundy & Desire. A wine boutique and gourmet market, this place is opening up next week per the owner of La Fresa Francesa. They have already started taking customers, however, and I was one of the lucky to be let inside. The place is right next to La Fresa Francesa and before the nail salon in the plaza. I think their store hours are going to be different as I was told they want to make it be open from 11 AM - 7 PM. At any rate, on verra (that's French for we will see). Cheeses, wines, and trinkets adorn the store. The prices aren't bad either. A good bottle of wine will run you give or take $20. In terms of gourmet foods, aside from the celebrated cheese, you can find meats and even pasta. Yes pasta! That one was a definite surprise for me. Anyhow, they currently have one employee named Milena and she was an absolute and complete sweetheart. She answered all my questions and helped me out. I ended up purchasing the cutest wine glasses for my boyfriend and I. Like La Fresa Francesca, the decor is très chic. There's art in the window, and well, it's attention grabbing. I do think that this place while only starting is going to be great as the staff, the service, and the selection are sure to please you as much as they pleased me. With that said, I'm definitely going back. Next time I'll finally decide on a wine to accompany my wine glasses. À la prochaine (that's French for until next time)!

I went because of the high reviews and when arrived was a little taken back by the entrance and…read moreoverall look but when I went in it felt like I had gone back in time. Cool counter and the cook is the owner. He is a character and a big part of the experience. They have the old school baker ovens which make the best pizzas and heaters for subs. They make a huge difference on food quality. It might have been the best Philly Cheese sub I've ever had. Then the owner surprised us with a homemade cheesecake and carrot cake. We ended up taking 4 pieces home. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu as it was a homemade feel from a guy that knows what he is doing. I will say it was an experience but one worth trying.

### A Complete Rip-Off - Stay Away from **NY Pizza Kitchen**!…read more This place is a scam, plain and simple. We were massively overcharged for our order, and the delivery driver's actions were sketchy at best. He showed up with a personal cell phone to process the payment and then didn't even offer a receipt after charging us almost **$40**, which was way more than our order should have cost. The food itself was just as bad. The pizza was advertised as a certain size, but what we got was significantly smaller and completely cold. To top it all off, we were charged a ridiculous amount for a tiny portion of marinara sauce. It's no wonder the hotel we stayed at warned us that this place is a complete scam and tries to keep them from delivering to guests. Save yourself the headache and your money--avoid NY Pizza Kitchen at all costs.

They have bar seating as well as booths decorated with an airplane motif (the wall looks like if you're seated in a plane).

My friend and I enjoyed a variety of drinks from Prosecco to margaritas,

Now let's talk yummies: it was great! At first I was shocked it had spice, not too much, but you do feel the hint of spice. The zucchini tasted great mixed with the ground turkey and mozzarella cheese on top. Next lunch break I will order from there once again and try something different to see if it is as good as this meal!

"Bro, there's healthy food in Hialeah.!"…read more "Que no." No, QUINOA! I noticed Quinoa Corner on Hialeah Drive from driving by, as well as yelp photos from one of the original healthy yelpers so now that I've been serious on my fitness I decided to give it a try. A grain with about 40 fewer calories and twice the protein of rice, Quinoa lets you enjoy your favorite rice and pasta dishes while still being healthy. Their menu consists of comfort staples like chicken and rice, or pancakes, but with quinoa instead. They have a fridge with freshly-made items off their menu (made for the day until they run out) and believe they can custom make an order upon request. It's a family run shop, and they took the time to go over their menu and nutritional facts. They also have a printout of calories, proteins and carbs for you to track your meal. My lunch consisted of their Thai Chicken Quinoa Bowl, consisting of well packed grains, fresh leaves, red peppers and spicy chicken & sauce. (Yes, healthy doesn't have to mean bland!) It was literally my second time trying quinoa and I loved it. Right now they're only open during lunchtime Monday to Saturday, and it's only for takeout / delivery. The owner did say they're planning to expand to have some dine-in space in around a year. More importantly, they plan to keep it in Hialeah! I can see that 5th star coming soon.
