Had a fantastic dinner with my sister and mom here, all thanks to Manuel! We started with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and ordered the beef carpaccio for an appetizer. The truffle aioli brought it all together (love a good sauce!) For my entree, I had the best pasta I've ever had. The fiocchi di formaggio e pera.... Oh my. I literally want to go back for it before I go back home to STL, lol! I have my mom a bite and she was raving over it as well. My sister has celiac so we were ecstatic to find out they had gluten free options. She went with the spaghetti misto de pesce with gluten free noodles, and she was pleased! Manuel mentioned the veal chop Milanese so my mom ordered it. Gosh, this was so so yummmyy! It was absolutely huge and leftovers were inevitable. To end, we got the chocolate budino, which was also spectacular. I forgot to mention Manuel sent us over their famous fries and I can see why they received that title. What an experience! Thank you again for a dreamy evening MC and Manuel! read more

The ambiance is quaint and modern. Great service and custom cocktails. The veal Milanese is a must try. Prepare for a full plate but great flavor. read more

Beautiful restaurant in the design district. Easy to get to and one of the best valet service in Miami. My lunch looked and tasted delicious. Other meals i saw looked tastefully presented. Nice interior dining room open to the kitchen. Bar area is big and opens to the outside which is great. Only downside is there are no plant based options, although there are a few vegetarian one's. Id definitely recommend adding some of those options to appeal to more people looking for a nice restaurant where they can also find something to eat. read more

The food and ambiance were absolutely excellent. Staff were kind and generous. HOWEVER the signs to the bathrooms are SO CONFUSING. I was out to dinner with my (now ex) wife and she went to the restroom. Feeling lonely I too went to the restroom. The signs were so confusing that I walked into the ladies room and saw my wife cheating on me. Haha, I'm just kidding. But I still despise you Susan. Pictures of the bathroom signs are below but it was such a wonderful dining experience overall! read more

We've never dined here, but plan to. On this particular night we'd made a reservation at another, nearby restaurant, but they didn't have a bar to belly up to as we waited, so we decided to come here as MC Kitchen was only a short walk away. As we approached and sat down at the bar, which is located in the center corridor of this building, the bartender initially apologized and explained they were closed...But then he said if we just wanted a nightcap, he'd accommodate us...Then he ended up giving us 3 different drink menus, introduced himself as Ezequiel and was happy to serve us. I ordered a negroni cioccolato which was a chocolate infused negroni. Interesting flavor but I enjoyed it, and my husband ordered a ciccio, which was a spicy mezcal drink. Both were very well made, again the bartender was friendly and accommodating and even offered to make another for us, but by that time we figured our reserved table at the other spot would soon be ready, so we paid and left. Both cocktails were $18 each, or just under $40 for both with tax so a bit spendy, even for Miami. We'll return here for dinner sometime in the near future. read more

I'm always happy to come back to Miami, in part because it gives me the opportunity to visit MC Kitchen. I've been doing so for more than a decade. I'm certain I've had most everything on the menu. Favorites: Bibb Lettuce Salad, Fiocchi with Pear, Spaghetti with Mixed Seafood, the extra thick Pork Chop, and the daily grilled fresh fish. If you have a few friends with you, share the Fig Pizzetta as an appetizer. But beyond the food, the restaurant is a pleasure in many ways. The staff is attentive and friendly, and it seems quite a few have been there almost as long as the place has been operating. The space is also a feast for your eyes -- bright, airy, and with some unique artwork to pique your interest. read more

Great lil spot for date......giving it 4/5 though due to my main course being a bit to salty for my taste Octopus and wine were spot on. The octopus was such an creative dish and was an appetizer, had me ready for the main courses. I'd go back just for this dish it was so good. And the wine was exactly what I was looking for, full body to compliment my Bolognese, a bit pricey though at 180. Pear Ravioli was great, didn't really stand out as I feel every Italian restaurant offers this dish Bolognese was not really enjoyable although adversities as a popular dish. A bit to much salt. read more

I got 2 pastas delivered from here on DoorDash and I wasn't expecting much but let me fell you - the food was SOOOOO DELICIOUS! They delivered very far which I super appreciated because I don't live close to there and I enjoyed it SO much. I called before I ordered and asked if the food had walnuts in it and the host couldn't have been nicer and actually went and checked and told me the dessert I was considering ordering did have walnuts in it so I didn't get it. Pasta usually comes and isn't great for delivery but this was fantastic (I did write to have extra sauce in the comments). The pastas I got were the pear fiocchi and the ricotta cavatelli with red sauce. I wish I had pictures but I ate it so quickly that I didn't take any. Thank you MC kitchen !! read more

Service is terrible. We went outside of busy hrs and had trouble getting seated for a table of 9. That is understandable but after we got seated in 2 different tables we waited close to 20 min and only got water service. Nobody coming to our table for a while. We asked the host and she was like not too worried and said they would eventually come. We told them we had to get service soon because some of us had to catch a plane but that did not cause them to expedite service or anything. In summary we stood up and left. read more

Tried MC Kitchen on an invite. It was clean and had a bright interior. They have a small nice private room and separately what seemed like a more casual market area in addition to the traditional dining hall. Our sever was attentive and well trained, as was the supporting staff. While I felt the menu was a bit limited for what I liked, I tried the tuna crudo to start as also suggested by our waitress and the applewood chicken salad for my main. The ingredients were fresh and quality. While the crudo was fresh and "bright", seemingly well garnished - I felt it was missing something in flavor. On the other hand, I felt the salad exceeded my expectations. Once again the chicken quality was very good, dressing nice, and a good mix of ingredients that kept it interesting. It was just about the right size. I felt the prices were on the higher side, perhaps a bit on theme for the design district these days. I'd definitely order the salad again, while the whole experience didn't really sell me overall as a place I had to get back to anytime fast. Most of the dishes seemed on the "heavier/richer" side, when I was really looking for a lighter lunch. This was a 3.5 for me which I rounded up. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I celebrated my 30th birthday with a large dinner. After finding the menu online and looking at pictures of the beautiful restaurant, I called to book the table. For larger parties the owner organizes them herself so she gave me a call back to iron out all the details, which was amazing. She was so helpful and made great recommendations for different options for our party. When the night came we had two long tables in their beautiful main dining area and everything was amazing. The service was impeccable and the food was superb. Everyone couldn't stop talking about the Fiocchi Di Formaggio e Pera, Spaghetti Misto di Pesce, and Ricotta Cavatelli. The Palombella cocktail was also a big hit. Honestly as I write this I'm contemplating getting a take out of the Fiocchi Di Formaggio e Pera before heading back to Ft. Lauderdale today because it was that delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant for a date night, celebration, or nice night out. read more

Haven't been in person yet, so I can't speak to the ambiance. Is it expensive, heck yeah it is, but it seems to be the going rate for food in the Design District. Everything we have ordered, and we have ordered an obscene number of times, has been fast delivery, hot and ready to eat. One piece of advice, skip the fries entirely. They are just not great and not worth the cash, but the salads and pasta, lord are they great. The pear pasta is out of this world. It's a very polarizing dish but I think it is sheer perfection on a plate. Everything else we had was also incredible. Highly recommend this place and feel it was just original enough as to be special. Check it out. read more

So, if I ever end up in the design district, I like to eat at MC Kitchen. It's light, bright and has great atmosphere. I'm usually there for lunch, but, I'm sure dinner has great atmosphere as well. So, getting to the food. It's simply always good. Comes out piping hot and delicious. I'm writing specifically today because I had the linguine vongole (clam sauce). It was the best I've had ever, absent homemade, but, it may beat my sister's (hoping she doesn't read this review ). If they offer it, order it. Wish I had a picture, but, I immediately started scarfing it down and made it all disappear. Taking my wife for it immediately! Thanks MCK. Well played! read more

This restaurant was fine. We were supposed to go to another restaurant down the street for lunch but the wait was too long so we opted to dine here. Not crowded, no wait. Service was fine. Caesar salad with chicken was fresh. All fine for lunch...not sure it made an impression on me to come back, but nothing bad to say. read more

Excellent food and service are the pros. Also, very comfortable seats, which I love. We had the Old Fashioneds and they were delicious. The con: I ordered a burger and the waitress asked if I'd like fries with that. I said sure. Well, the fries cost $25 (almost as much as the $30 burger), and were way too much for anyone to eat. That move didn't seem the best, to me. read more

MC Kitchen is best left in my memories. I came here for a dinner with my BH. I should have known when it was empty. After we were seated, sat outside and were ignored for a while. We had to get up and ask for someone to help us. It was only us and other table outside. Our server came out and told us he was "in the back." He looked around and noticed we had no water glasses. He told the woman who was serving water in Spanish, "there are no clean water glasses" and to just pour the water in the wine glasses. Some good part (not a typo), their menu is via QR code so less touching of physical menus. I asked our server about the Happy Hour menu and was told it was for bar seating only; no problem at all. Next I ordered a beer that was listed on their menu, La Rubia (Wynwood Brewing). I got a "what's that?" reply. That's never good.....The server told us he was "almost certain they didn't have that" but he'd check. He came back and told us he only had two beers and didn't elaborate on both. Very well....Miami's finest tap water in fancy wine glasses it is. After our server left, another confused server came out to ask us if we've been helped. I replied yes and he walked away just as confused as he arrived. Absolutely no one there is interested in selling any product to customers. No drinks, no food, no nothing. In fact, our water wine glasses were never refilled, even as they sat empty. Right after we sat down, another table of patrons was leaving. I watched as that table sat dirty for 20-30 minutes before any employee came to bus it. Again, empty restaurant. Now onto food. At this point, being hungry, we chose the Fig Pizzetta. I've had it before and loved it. Our server offered to bring us some bread. Honestly, it tasted old and retoasted to cover the staleness. In preparation for our main and only course, our server came over with dinner plates. As I'm trying to move things to make room for the plates, he took it upon himself to touch both of our sets of silverware and bread plates (that we were currently eating on). Especially now with COVID-19, why would you do this?! At this point, this was the worst offense of our meal. The Pizzetta came out via the host, which was kind of bizarre. Why was the host serving food? So strange. The crust was so hard, I had to fight to cut it with my knife. And the figs? Nonexistent. They were so small, I thought they had put raisins on the Pizzetta. Now onto the best part of the experience, the check. Our server brought our check: $21.00, plus tax totaled $22.49. Why change the suggested tip percentages from one copy of the check to another. The first one was based on the total pre-tax, the second was post-tax. I guess in the hopes that people won't do basic math to figure out they're trying to get more money? Anyhow. I put more effort into this review than ANYONE that works there did during our experience. read more

I dont know why it has taken me such a long time to write a review on MC Kitchen but given the low stars and bad reviews I had to give my opinion. MC Kitchen has some great dishes and a superb service. Every time that we come here we have to order the grilled octopus over black risotto.... this dish is full of flavor and risotto is creamy and crispy at the same time. (Delicious) Also good is the burrata appetizer... simple yet sophisticated. This time I ordered the Cacio e Pepe which is served with a poached egg. Very good. Pasta bolognese has a sauce that seems it's been cooking for hours and hours and flavors have develop onto this meaty goodness. Service is good and friendly. 4 stars only because we ordered 2 bottles of white wine and it was served warm. (Never good). Aside from that... everything was good. read more

A nice place to have some solid food and drinks. We had the fig prosciutto pizza and frito misto. The pizza has great flavor and the crust was crunchy, thick, and fluffy. The frito misto was perfectly fried with light batter and not too salty. Definitely ask for more of the sauce they put on top for dipping! Honestly a bit pricey for what it is but still worth it. I also had the Domina cocktail which was very well done. The service and atmosphere were good but nothing special. Also they offer $5 valet out front. read more

This was the absolute worst service I've ever experienced. Which is so sad because my mother and brother had hyped it up to me so much i was waiting to try the food. First- We were sat down and given dirty plates. We waited 20 minutes (or more) to order. Our waiter was absolutely inattentive with us. We only ordered A pizza, a salad, fries and spaghetti and meatballs. At the 50 minute mark we had only received a severely undercooked spaghetti and meatballs that we had to send back. At this point people who had sat down 20 minutes after us were receiving their meals and we had not so much as received the salad or fries. I would give a review of the food but after an hour of our waiter ignoring us, we got up and walked out. Absolutely abhorrent. TLDR: service sucks. We left. Cav empt. read more

Today was my second time at MC Kitchen. It is nicely situated in the Design District and there is valet parking available. You can also find street parking nearby. The decoration is modern and tasteful, the seating is very comfortable. We ordered the bibb lettuce salad and the creamy burratine with heirloom tomatoes and creamy, soft burrata. Perfect! Second course was garganelli bolognese, which is a must. This dish got 5 out 5 from our entire table. Third course was pan seared branzino fillet with kale , heirloom tomatoes, sweet corn and fava beans; Angus NY strip with tomatoes, avocado, and basil salad. The steak was cooked perfectly. I am giving 4 stars because the fish fillet had few bones in it. We had panna cotta and chocolate budino for desert. No word to describe the budino. Simply irresistible! The service was outstanding without being in our face. We will come back for sure ! read more

This is the kind of place you go, then tell everyone about it so you look like you were the first to know because you want the street cred....because it's THAT good. I can recommend with true confidence thanks to the fresh wines, absolutely decadent pastas, truffle fries and more. If you're thinking about trying somewhere new I can assure you, it won't be your last time. Oh and try the truffle pizza. You're welcome. read more

What a great place; lovely atmosphere, staff, and food! Ordered the Fiocchi Di Fermaggio, 8oz Cedar River Skirt Steak, and their famous truffle fries. The pasta was creamy, smooth, and flavorful. They weren't shy with the peach in this dish, but it was just right! The skirt steak was cooked to perfection and paired with a bed of avocado slices atop tomatoes and drizzled with Saba. Delicious! We sat on their outside area where they have comfortable booths. The staff was very friendly and attentive which make the whole dining experience much more enjoyable.

Even though we ordered steaks and burgers everything Medium, everything came Well Done, steaks were over salted, and even the brioche bun was dry and charred to black. Normally not a bad local restaurant, tonight they Failed miserably. One of the cocktails was nothing but ice, with just a sip of alcohol. Plus they just raised the prices - at the risk of sounding presumptuous I thought they would take things up a notch - but No... Very disappointing.
