LAMB CHOP ROASTED GARLIC
Jamie G.

What a charming, quaint place to enjoy Italian food for date night. Mazzi Cucina feels more like being in someone's rustic countryside home than a restaurant - warm, intimate and full of heart. The decor feels cozy and allows you to unwind while enjoying soft music playing overhead. Our server was so helpful and attentive; offering recommendations and insight on the menu. He was so patient with us and did not hover around even though it was just us in the dining room. I finally had the chance to try beef carpaccio because he assured me that it would be made perfectly and he was right. He offered us the opportunity to choose our own bottle of wine right off the wall as they offer different blends for one to indulge in. Each bottle has a small, brown tag tied around the neck with the price listed. The kitchen is not too far from the tables so you get the warm air with the scent of garlic and herbs floating throughout. They start you off with fresh, warm bread and the most delicious pesto alongside to nibble on while you sip your wine. We ordered the lamb chop roasted garlic and seafood risotto. Everything was lovely here; the ambiance, food and service were exceptional!

My family getting ready to enjoy an amazing meal

Hands down, my favorite Italian restaurant in Miami. I've been coming here for a little over two years, and I recommend it to everyone I know. The food quality is unmatched I've honestly never had Italian this good in Miami. Because the restaurant is small, it does get packed quickly, but that just shows how incredible it is. My go-to dish is the Frutti del Mar, and it never disappoints. If you're looking for authentic, top-quality Italian cuisine in Miami, this is the place.

Cozy interior
Sergio F.

Tucked away in NMB's Restaurant Row (near another favorite) on West Dixie Highway is an Italian restaurant a friend who lives in the area recommended. Besides the outside tables on the dimly lit patio, the interior dining area is cozy whether for a date night or solo after a long workday when your dinner becomes lunch & dinner combined especially on a Friday night. Though I arrived near to closing time, the two hostesses were super friendly with recommendations and an invite to come back. Why do I give Mazzi 5 stars? Well, their glorious chicken parm of course. After some changes to an old favorite, I was on the hunt for a hearty and robust marinara sauce and a large chicken breast. I found this at Mazzi! The side of pasta (there's also an option for veggies) is a little past al dente and there are actual tomato slices mixed in. I like this! Throw in a bowl of minestrone in a clear broth but loaded with veggies and dinner rolls with fresh pesto and it's a "winner winner chicken (maybe veal parm next time) dinner". I skipped out on dessert, but my waitress explained enough that I'll be back for some of their tiramisu or profiteroles. (The coffee I did have gave me a much needed boost).

Gnocchi
Gina T.

We craved Italian and of course came straight to the source to find some place nearby. Mazzi caught my eyes with almost 5 stars, we had to try! I first called to see if reservations were required since it was so last minute, I was told for a party of 2 they are pretty booked but there was 1 table on the patio, we were there in 10 mins! With a 4.5 star rating I'm expecting the best of the best in every category right? So, I was in disbelief that we had arrived at the right location, a run down shopping strip that looks like it's about to collapse and dirty. We approach and are told to sit anywhere on the patio (thin stretch of sidewalk no patio.) The sidewalk in front of the restaurant is what they call the patio, it's very dirty and dingy, there are 2 shops on each side with lots of people going in and out, parking lot spots back right in to the edge of the sidewalk. The lights of the cars are right in your face, my fear was one of them stepped on wrong pedal we were all goners, no barriers to separate or planters because there's no room. Funny, we watched people arrive with no reservations and got seated don't know why they told me on phone they were fully booked and were doing us a favor. The service was basic, not much interaction, menus were dropped off with water and bread. We ordered the beet salad, 4 cheese gnocchi, cheese ravioli. Everything was fresh and tasty. Not sure about price, someone mentioned on their review super cheap, I don't think $27 gnocchi or ravioli is super cheap. The food was good but I wouldn't pay these prices to eat at a place like this. Food good, No to ambiance, no to service.

Hello The food is excellent, the place is cozy, but I reported to my credit card that I received an inaccurate charge of $76.08 very different than the copy of my receipt of $ 66.17. I always like the honesty of every place that I select for lunch or dinner. Very disappointed.

Spaghetti Carbonara
Arnold C.

Totally funky little trattoria. Food and service were outstanding. Maybe the best carbonara I've had outside of Rome. Can't wait to come back again and again. Bravo!

This place is so good, we chose it when the place we were going to go to was closed, and we realized we should have decided to come here to begin with! Can I give it more than 5 stars? We sat inside for the first time and enjoyed the cozy ambiance of the restaurant, like a cottage dining room. There are only about six tables inside, so it could easily get crowded and maybe not very spaced. But that's when you can sit outside. What makes Mazzi Cucina so great? If you ask me, it's the fungi dishes that are the true stars of the menu. Anything with porcini or other mushrooms is incredible---richly fragrant and owning the heft of the flavor of each dish. The menu doesn't have any descriptions of the dishes, just names, so we had to ask what the Grilled Mozzarella was. We found out it was one of the most amazing things you can have here! Melted, edge crusted mozzarella with countless mushrooms in amazing gravy like sauce. We enjoyed dipping and soaking our bread in it so much! For the entrées, I had the Fettuccine Porcini, and he had Veal with Porcini Sauce. The fettuccine is big in portion and flavor, so much so that you don't miss meat in it at all. I was so happy to have the dish for myself after I had tried his the last time we were there and low key wanted to finish his plate. The veal was also wondrous. Tender veal smothered in a buttery, fragrant mushroom sauce. It was a little on the salty side, but again, so tasty to mop up with bread. We asked ourselves, do they put crack in the mushrooms? Do we care? Because seriously, I've never been so happy to have a mushroom laden dinner. When you go to Mazzi Cucina (it is WHEN you go, not IF), get anything your heart desires, but get at least one dish with mushrooms and be enveloped in that wonderful aroma. You're welcome.

Located in a small strip mall, which doesn't look very appealing. The restaurant is very small, cozy and the food is good. Service was fine.

Casa Mia Trattoria is an excellent restaurant!…read more I love how bright and beautiful the decor is inside. While still remaining elegant, cozy and charming. The staff here is exceptional, very attentive. The atmosphere is positive, kind and happy. There's an outdoor seating area if you're in the mood, but we opted to sit inside because it was very cold for me outside. As soon as you sit down you're greeted with a smile. Meanwhile, they offer still or sparkling water and warm bread, while they take your drink orders. The bread was soft, warm and gooey. Already warming me up. We both ordered Coke Zeros to drink. We ordered the following appetizers & entrées: Fritto di calamari e zucchini. Calamari & zucchini fried to perfection, served with spicy marinara sauce and a nice lemon. This classic, crispy Italian appetizer was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend 100%. Ravioli al Nero di Seppia con Gamberi. Black squid ravioli with shrimp. A one of a kind delightful, decadent dish blasting you with flavor. Finally, the absolutely best item - NOT ON THE MENU - The Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. This scrumptious entrée was truly the highlight of the meal! I asked if they would make it for me and they did! This dish makes your mouth water with it's creamy, delectably smooth Alfredo sauce and moist, tender, well seasoned chicken!!! The wonderful server also brought out a large dish or parmesan cheese and brought me extra alfredo sauce - yum!! This is my favorite dish, I love it, It will not disappoint. It tastes even better off the menu. I'm not sure how I never made it to this restaurant before, but it definitely won't be the last time. I love supporting local businessess. 100% recommend. 100% will return.

For our main courses, we ordered the Rigatoni alla Carbonara and the Orecchiette Broccoli Salsiccia. Both dishes were fantastico--rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care and authenticity. And then came dessert... and wow, was it worth the wait. The Torte Pistacchio was completely out of this world--hands down one of the best desserts we've had in a long time. What truly made the experience special was the hospitality.

Nick and Andre kept our glasses full and tables squeaky clean throughout the entire night. Now for the food... for apps, we had ricotta meatballs, fiocchi, and truffle fries - all 10/10, but man, that fiocchi was mind-blowing... some of the best we've ever had. For mains. I had crab ravioli (perfection), my bestie had cacio e pepe, my husband had gnocchi with chicken, and my friend's hubs had an off-menu mushroom risotto with shrimp that was suggested by the server - literally no misses here, everything was top-tier. Dessert? Tiramisu, creme brulee, and Nutella mousse/ice cream hybrid - all amazing. The ambiance was great. Even the valet was reasonable. Great night, great food. Would go back in a heartbeat.

What we didn't know is that they have a Super Price menu running from 4:30PM-6PM! So we were able to get our order in and take advantage of the specials. Highly recommend going early because the prices are great! We started the evening with a Caesar salad and an order of the meatballs. And the meatballs were to die for!! They were so delicious! The meat had great seasoning throughout and it was a great ratio with the sauce and ricotta. The caesar was also really good with light dressing. For entree we got the agnolotti rosso which was amazing. It was stuffed with spinach and you can tell spinach was fresh. The sauce was absolutely delicious. And the pasta was made of spinach so it enhanced the flavor. We paired off all the food with a bottle of Bonanza cab which was perfect with the food. The whole time the waiters are flying by making sure our plates are clean, and waters filled. We ended the evening with a piece of tiramisu which was perfection. Perfect balance of mascarpone and coffee. I paired that with an espresso martini which was nice and strong. Great way to enjoy the glamour without breaking the bank!

Access is further down the road with a short walk back through the dock area. Anyway... Sitting outside for dinner, it was quiet, as one might imagine with the above noted. Service was great and the food was mixed. The Focaccia Bread with Rosemary and Garlic might actually be a reason alone to come back and give it another try. The BEET SALAD - Roasted beets, salad mix, honey dressing, pesto, burrata, toasted almonds was very enjoyable. However, the SPAGHETTI CARBONARA - Silky white sauce, crisp bacon, rich egg yolk, aged parmesan needed to have its game turned up a notch, as there wasn't much taste to it.

The service was top notch our waitress made great recommendations and was very attentive and friendly throughout our meal. We ordered the hugo spritz which has always been one of my favorite drinks to order in Italy after an afternoon spent sightseeing and walking around because the drink is so perfectly refreshing and not overly sweet which I love. The Hugo spritz was absolutely amazing, so much better than I expected, and brought me right back to the streets of Rome. Highly recommend! To start our meal we ordered the crispy polenta and it was a great way to start our meal. I absolutely love polenta and had never had it served this way so I was really excited to try it and it didn't disappoint it was absolutely delicious. The polenta was crispy and warm served over a layer of Cacio e Pepe cream sauce with fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Such a simple dish but done so well and in a way I've never had before. We ordered a Margherita pizza and the braised short rib ravioli of the day to share. The Margherita pizza was very good, the dough was cooked perfectly, and it was another simple dish done well. The ravioli was just OK, but we were expecting something wow for the $50 price point, it was definitely NOT WORTH IT. Portion size for the price of this dish was very small and the ravioli itself wasn't very impressive it was lacking in flavor and the short rib inside was a bit too dry. We were also expecting a bit more as far as the pasta went, it didn't have that fresh homemade ravioli taste, the pasta itself didn't taste homemade or was anything special. The dish was simply ok, but again very expensive for what you get. We ended our meal with the tiramisu which was also just ok, not anything special, and definitely not worth the $15 price point. It was served in a small tea cup so portion size was small and didn't taste at all like a traditional tiramisu. Even a double espresso here cost $7 which again is a bit overpriced for what you get. To put it in perspective, for two people for lunch our check was $200 and the restaurant already included 20% gratuity even though we were just two people (most restaurants add the gratuity for parties of 6 or more). I forgot to mention, that dining here they didn't bring any bread to the table either when we sat down, so I'm assuming that would have been an additional charge as well. So although we enjoyed our drinks and the meal, for the price point I don't think we will be back again.
