I've been visiting this family since the early 2000's and the food has always been phenomenal. To find out today that this establishment may be shut down due to political BS was a huge blow to me. A policy that I had zero say on will now scratch off a quality establishment from my options. I don't side with left or right, just common sense which has been absent for many many years. We live in a time where morons run the world. Let's hope we get something nice since these fucking idiots are content with being fed shit read more

L'INCONTRO is not your typical dining experience. The expert guidance of the esteemed general manager, Edwardo, and his secret weapon, Michelin-starred Chef Aragonese Diego Millán, former owner of Zaragoza restaurant from Cancook, Spain, offers a unique and novel experience. This young chef's molecular gastronomy cuisine, a first for my wife and me, was a revelation. It stands out among the dozen Miami restaurants we've visited, and the expertise of Edwardo and Chef Diego Millán instills confidence in the restaurant's quality. Italian is the theme. However, we noticed the Spanish fusion touches and the perfectly cooked cuisine. The salmon and calamari were perfectly undercooked with unique sauces and flavors, like the shrimp tacos. The next day, I had this creamy smoked salmon soup for lunch, which was terrific. Edwardo and Checf Millán created a carefully selected wine list. Edwardo's professionalism, wine knowledge, and demeanor topped the experience. This operator-chef combination is what every restaurant owner dreams of. Additionally, the pricing was very reasonable, unlike most "Michelin Star" restaurants. This young professional chef has a bright future; we will dine there again!! Whatever your trip plans are, add this restaurant to your list. The hotel was comfortable, had a nice pool and bar, excellent service, and friendly staff, and was conveniently near the airport. read more

We tried this quaint, little place on a Friday night. We were pleasantly surprised! We had very nice service--thanks Henry! We ordered appetizers-- a Caprese salad and a Shrimp Ceviche- both delicious! We ordered a pizza and a lasagna--both delicious; only little thing, Lasagna was on the small size but very flavorful! Then we ordered dessert--a Dulce Leche Flan... just okay; a bit watery. Overall, very good food. We will return! read more

So this is a hybrid restaurant where they offer not only Italian food, but also Mexican food. Both of which are great! For this review we will stick to the Italian. The service is always great here and even ordering for pick up, they are always fast and friendly. My favorite of all their pizzas is the tartufo and the 4 cheese pizzas. Oh so good and cheesy of course. They are basically my go to every time. Pizza lovers, check this place out. read more

A very cool balance between Italians and Spanish. We had the spaghetti with clams and a burrito. My son had plain pasta (picky eaters are so much fun). We loved each of the meals. The Italian foods still seemed to have a bit of a Spanish taste, making it a very surprising flavor. read more

Even though this restaurant runs 2 very different kitchens, we always go for the Pizza. Pizza maker you may remember from Blue pizzeria off sunset. Great pizza, thin crust, tomato sauce is super good and always fresh ingredients. You will not be disappointed. Tip: try the white tartuffon pizza. read more

Came here expecting "Mexican food" as this is what they claim... however I asked for chips and salsa and they gave me the worlds smallest salsa, and then quesadillas came out and they looked like they sprinkled a tablespoon of cheese in them and then heated it up. If I could give 0 stars I would. Do not recommend. read more

Stopped in for lunch expecting big crowds and was pleasantly surprised to find the place relatively empty. The interior is sweet reminiscent of someone's idea of an Italian villa I suppose. Blue and white checkered tablecloths are on all of the (12) tables. Only three were occupied. With one line gentleman nursing a glass of wine at the bar. We were greeted immediately upon seating (by greeted I mean approached by the server who laid our menus on the table and said 'drinks?'). Admittedly the service improved exponentially from that point on. The freshly wood oven toasted 'focaccia' was brought right away and delicately drizzled with oil and rosemary and sea salt and served with a lovely pesto sauce for dipping. I could have made a meal out of it, so tasty. The wood oven pizza topped with chicken was perfectly cooked. Always worry about the wood oven charring the bottom but this was perfect. My companion ordered the chicken parm with pasta- the chicken parm, while tasty suffered a worse fate than the pizzA and was a little too crispy on the edges for our liking. Offering a chance at redemption I finished my soda and waited to see how long it would take for a refill. 5 seconds. Winner. My meal was less than 10 dollars and I had food to go. Rey it. You will like it. read more

I have to say I was pretty impressed with the Italian food here. I went in a bit skeptical but you can't knock it until you try it. They start you off with some focaccia bread and a pesto dipping sauce. The dipping sauce is very yummy I can put it on everything. As my entree I had the veggie lasagna where they use eggplant in place of the pasta. When it arrived at the table it was so hot and the cheese was bubbling it had a creamy tomato sauce that was delicious! My family shared a salad and a cheese pizza that they said was cheesy and crispy ( sounds good to me)! Now the dessert.... I don't really like mango but since they ordered the mousse I decided to give it a try! WOW!!! It's a little dessert that's not too sweet, light, and airy! It was the cherry on top to my already good early dinner. I will definitely come again when I'm craving some Italian. read more

Definitely would not recommend! By far worse Italian I've had. I ordered the chicken parm and got a burnt block of something they called chicken Parm and then they gave me pasta with Alfredo sauce and had to remake it to pasta with red sauces and it taste like water tomato sauce. Very very dissapointing and will not ever go back! Save you time and money and go somewhere else. Customer service is not good either. If I could I'd give 0 stars read more

Cool little hidden gem in Kendall area. I would've never known about this place If it weren't for a fellow helper of mine. I'm glad I gave this place a shot. Usually you can find a Groupon for it also! Pizza is very good and they also have a Hispanic menu which I want to come back and try out. The pizza is made in an open brick oven so if you have kids they can watch their pizza being made right from the bar area. Try this place out if you're in the are and you're looking for something a little different and quick with the family read more

My first time eating here since they opened. And I have tell you it is great. I ordered a lunch special Pizza which is only four slices so it is personal. Mine came with mushrooms and bruschetta. They brought me a side of flat bread which was a good little appetizer. I can see that during lunch they get a good crowd. They also have Mexican Food. I have tried their Mexican food and it is good. The pizza is woodfired and so fare so good. I will be returning and I will bring my wife next time So I have brought my wife and the food is fantastic. Desert you must have! read more

Hidden gem! Tucked in a little corner of a small, out of the way shopping center is this little slice of heaven. The place is decorated simply but elegantly and the service was phenomenal. The waiter was friendly and very willing to make recommendations. We started with the foccaccia and HOLY PESTO! The first pesto I have ever had where the flavors were balanced and no one ingredient overpowers the other. I could've eaten that for days. I ordered the pizza and it was so wonderfully done. The sauce is slightly sweet and the cheese was salty and fresh. My husband had the lasagna and it is definitely what I will have next time. Super meaty and cheese,the epitome of wood fired Italian. This is a wonderful spot and we look forward to ordering again, especially since they deliver!!! read more

Yes! We found some good pizza in South Florida! Great Dough, Quality cheese, perfectly cooked pizza pie. I'm always hesitant to try new pizza parlors, but the excellent reviews lead me to this place and we weren't disappointed. We arrived after 4 so of course it was empty, just how I like it! Our server was extremely polite and courteous giving us ample time to look over the menu. We decided to try two small pies to explore their selection. The small is personal size. We ordered the Italian Sausage and A White Pizza (mozzarella,Brie,Gorgonzola and Parmesan) both were delicious, but I preferred the Italian Sausage. The crust was delicious! I took a Homemade Tiramisu to go that looked amazing, I can only assume it taste as good as it looks. I look forward to returning and trying their pasta dishes. read more

Two-in one! A while back I reviewed "Las Cazuelas" and mentioned that the owner also had an Italian restaurant, well I visited last night for dinner and let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised. For one thing, the owner combined both restaurants into one location so don't be alarmed by the Mexican/Italian menus. I'm usually not a fan of "fusion" restaurants because one cuisine tends to shine while the others suffer in quality, however L'Incontro's was nicely highlighted. Upon the server's recommendation, I ordered the "Lasagna Al Forno," which included a rich combination of bechamel, pink rose sauce and ragu. I'm still recovering from the deliciousness. The combo of sauces was unexpected but a serious harmony of flavors. Slightly sweet and savory, with all the richness. It was highly addictive. Speaking of addictive, L'Incontro's complimentary pesto and focaccia had me swooning! You could taste the fresh basil, pine nuts, herbs. It was 100 percent homemade and absolutely impressive. As for dessert, you can without a doubt expect that I tried the tiramisu and fell in love. So if you're ever in the mood for Italian or maybe Mexican, definitely give Las Cazuelas / L'Incontro a try. read more

I am a big fan of woodfire oven pizza and this place does not disappoint. It is a very quaint restaurant with a nice ambiance. Staff is helpful and friendly. The portion are a good size and you will definitely not leave hungry. They bring foccacia bread and an amazing pesto to the table. We started with the fried mozzarella. The mozzarella is good and is served on top of marinara. The Margherita Pizza was good and I love the sauce. The crust is nice and crunchy. We ordered the ham and cheese calzone and it is delicious. It is big enough to share with three people. We ended the meal with the nutella calzone and it was heavenly. I will definitely be back. read more

This little gem is hidden at the back of the Publix plaza. The ambiance is friendly and inviting. The wood over is the center piece that greets you the moment you walk in! Foccia and pesto was a welcome appetizer. The waiter recommended a new wine, a little stronger than a chianti, but as strong a merlot. It was delicious and happy to have two glasses for the price of one at happy hour! Kids had the plain cheese pizza, just the right size for them, no fighting. The procuitto and mushroom pizza was delicious. Each ingredient brings is own flavor to the pizza. The sause we light and zesty. We finished big with the Nutella calzone. Sorry Anthony's, we don't have to pay your premium prices anymore for premium wood fired pizza! read more

This review is geared towards the pizza only. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The pizza was good but lacked sauce. I loved that it was thin and not burnt to heck like most wood burning pizzas are. The size of a large was ridiculous and the price for that size was not worth it. $18 for that size was just terrible. It was also a bit greasy. I only had one slice. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered this food for pick up, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. We got a chicken parm, ziti, and a Caesar salad. There was barely any sauce on the ziti & it tasted very mediocre, the chicken parm was like one of the frozen ones you buy at Publix, and the Caesar salad was just shredded lettuce. On top of that for just the 3 of these things we paid over $40. Save your money, and get some place that tastes like real Italian food. read more

I did get to practice my Spanish.. that was exciting to order..

How does this place have good reviews? I ordered by phone so i had no idea it was half Mexican / half pizza. If i would've know this, i wouldn't have ordered. I feel like they should focus on one cuisine and make it perfect. I ordered a small pepperoni and pineapple pizza. The Cheese fell right off the pizza and the crust was super soggy. Not what pizza should be at all. I wouldn't come back here. read more

This place seemed promising at first. I ordered the mussels. I received about a dozen mussels and three of them were closed, and a few had empty shells. The worst thing though was one was broken in half and there were shards of BROKEN shell all through the broth! With every bite I had to pick out pieces of broken shell. Someone could have easily choked on this or cut up their mouth. The broth was watery and nearly tasteless. This was my first and last visit to this place. Just terrible. Poor quality control. read more

Ohmygod. YES. Amici's has been my go-to Italian spot in the hood for years. Don't get me wrong, the food there is good...but it doesn't WOW me. L'Incontro, however, has REALLY impressed me in just one visit. The food here is amazing. The pizza is legit. The Vegetable lasagna is the greatest thing I've ever had. It has no pasta. Just tons of veggies swimming in a sea of pink sauce and cheese. It's glorious. And technically carb free, right? Hashtag no guilt. I recently heard the place is relocating to another spot, and I'm over here at home just crossing my fingers it stays in the neighborhood in a relatively similar distance from my house. Eat here. Now. read more

Great local Italian restaurant in Kendall. The pizza is great + several options. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Love it here!

So here we go with the rare and highly coveted five star review. We were looking for something different to eat last night and stumbled upon this new little spot on yelp. After looking at the images and watching the video decided to drive over and give it a try. We were pleased to find that on the Friday night the parking and the restaurant were only about half-full. The inside was clean well decorated and cozy. We started off by ordering the pesto focaccia and Capresse salads, which were both excellent appetizers. We also ordered a margherita pizza, a mushroom pie, and baked ziti. The focaccia with pesto was just as described by the other yelpers, delicious, well-balanced and the perfect start to the meal. The Capresse salad was equally good with a wonderful mozzarella and a thick hearty slice of tomato surrounded by fresh basil. The vinaigrette on the table and olive oil were both of high-quality. When the pizzas came out we we're pleased to find that they were cooked to the perfect doneness. The pasta was served bubbling in a dish that must have exceeded 500° when It came to the table. The sauce from the ziti made for a perfect dipping sauce for the pizza crust. We ended the evening by enjoying the Nutella calzone which was amazing. Overall an excellent meal with excellent service and close to home. We will definitely be back and anticipate that this spot will become a staple for us. read more
