Frozen Coffee w/ Caramel: I know people call those Starbucks frozen coffee drinks "milk shakes", but Starbucks has nothing on Rita's! It's essentially the custard and some Italian ice blended into a delicious drink. You really don't need breakfast with one of these, since it's got enough calories to serve both your caffeine and meal needs. Salted Caramel, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Caramel Sauce Concrete: Felt like the classic DQ Blizzard, but maybe not as thick. I'm a caramel / dulce de leche fiend, so loved that I could get both the ice cream and the sauce. The chunks of peanut butter cup added a nice nostalgic mix in.

With the bonsai tree in the middle of the restarunt. Started with the tuna pizza , spicy tuna roll which was prob my favorite. Both were so clean, perfectly balanced, none of that mayo drowned mess you get elsewhere. The salmon crispy tacos had a crunchy shell, yuzu garlic salmon tartare , this was so good as well. snackable, shareable, and gone way too fast. Then the Wagyu hanger steak came through and reminded me why I keep coming back to spots like this. Char on the outside, melt in your mouth on the inside, seasoned with a light hand so the beef could actually speak for itself. Closed it out with the chocolate terrine and honestly it was dense, rich but not overly sweet.

The courses were memorable and I would love to enjoy them again. The only reason I give a 4/5 is because the service was not the best. Upon arrival the host was not very welcoming, once we were seated, our seat was right by the kitchen entrance. It was somewhat distracting to be seated there but the overall ambiance of the restaurant is very pleasant. We waited quite a while for our server to greet us, and after they did, they disappeared for a while before we could order. The food didn't come out in a timely manner, there would be large gaps of time in between each course which was a bit disappointing. We'd always have to get someone's attention to get something to drink which felt as if we were bothering them. I feel like for a restaurant of this caliber, the service should be just a little more attentive and caring. Beware of the parking, you may get three different prices on the valet parking as we did, and the restaurant validation does not cover the parking charge. I really wanted to give them a 5/5 but it was not the smoothest night out. Aside from the lack of service and parking hiccup, I do absolutely recommend the food here. Extremely well prepared and tasty.

What a complete turnaround from the one-star review I left a couple of years ago! I'm very happy to…read moresay that Macchialina has really stepped up its game. The pasta was excellent, the vegetarian dishes were fresh and flavorful, the salad was delicious, and even the bread was great.

This visit was a completely different experience from a few years ago, and I'm happy to give Macchialina five stars this time. Highly recommended!

From the moment we walked in, the experience was disappointing. The hostess, who had tattoos on her…read morehands, looked as if she had just stepped out of the shower. First impressions matter, especially in a restaurant, and this was not a professional welcome. Once seated, our waiter seemed to have very little knowledge of the menu. He could not answer basic questions about the ham or provide information about the food. We had to call him three times, and eventually another server came over, but communication was difficult because they spoke very little English. The food was equally disappointing. The prosciutto was sliced incredibly thick--more like a steak than traditional prosciutto. Anyone familiar with Italian cuisine knows that prosciutto should be cut paper-thin. It was clear that the staff did not know how to prepare or serve it properly. Overall, poor service, lack of product knowledge, and improperly prepared food made this a disaster of a dining experience. I would not return.

Tired of being harassed by people asking for your time or being looked down upon by the affluent luxury brands that give you sterile looks because you can't shop there? Great--Japow is here for you. Not only is it affordable, they do a great job giving you concoctions that fill in those sweets cravings, while also allowing you to experiment in combinations that fulfill both Eastern and Western palettes. I mean, honestly the cream and shaved ice combo proves itself to be the best combination for a dessert that feels light and still delectable. Take a break when you're done window shopping and give this Japanese shaved ice truck a chance. Forget scoops of ice cream--trust me when I say that sometimes shaved ice with some cream on top does the job much better.

One of our party got a concrete, I got an Italian ice/custard blender and another got straight Italian ice. All were pretty good although my blender didn't have the topping of strawberries actually blended in, just scooped on top. Maybe that's how they make it but I found it a little odd. Overall the food was great but....service was definitely lacking. When we entered we were the only people there but the employee was on a FaceTime call with 7 or 8 other people. She propped up her phone and they just kept talking in the background. She seemed like she was either having a horrible day or just hated her job. Didn't greet us, couldn't really hear her at all, seemed bothered that we came in at all. She was more interested in getting back to her call than actually helping. Again, treats were great but just given the poor interaction I don't know if I'd come back here.

A very sweet pastry chef named Hannah surprised my dad with a greeting in his native language on the cake. She came out to meet us and we had a pleasant conversation with her.

There isn't any Filipino spots in Miami for real so this is the only place that I could find in Wynwood. I don't get why people say that this spot is far from Filipino food when it is obviously supposed to show Filipino food in a creative way and showcase street food too... But I'm glad I experienced it for myself and enjoyed my time. The chicken BBQ skewers tasted exactly how it was supposed to. So I know it was marinated appropriately and cased with banana ketchup!!!! I appreciate the chicken lumpia option. Not many people serve lumpia options that aren't beef or pork... so that definitely won me over too. My only complaint was that the beef tapas was not hitting the way it was supposed to. It was giving more of a bistek feel than tapas. I hope that I just caught them on a bad day or that they can refine that recipe. I'm hopeful that it can improve. ALSO -- really loved that Jamaican tea they have. Forgot the exact name of it. But I could drink gallons of it. Lol.
