Mistero is a beautiful Italian-Mediterranean spot, and it's in the same location where Secreto used to be, with an interior that looks almost identical, so there was a lot of excitement going in. Some of the chefs seem to have stayed, and that familiarity definitely came through in a few of the dishes. The food, overall, was great. The lobster croquetas special was very tasty, but the portion was surprisingly small at only two croquetas for $25, which felt a bit steep for what you got. the calamari appetizer came out a bit soggy and did not win the table over. Some pasta dishes were excellent like the Kassandra fig and pear ravioli , my mom really enjoyed her crab meat ravioli, and my boyfriend loved his filet mignon with risotto. My sister-in-law also loved her branzino, but my stepdad was not a fan of his black seafood pasta. My lived his pasta dog with steak as well! Service was a strong point, and with five out of seven dishes being genuinely enjoyable I'd come back.

Place was great , pretty small and it was packed. Service is great always and the food was very good, all the things I tried I liked. Lobster Croquetas are a must and the pistachio risotto was fantastic.

Elevated dining In the heart of Kendall. This amazing spot is truly a hidden gem tucked inside a shopping center right across the street from Town & Country. It used to be Secreto (which has since relocated), but the new Mistero has taken things to an entirely new level in terms of flavor, presentation, and overall quality. From the moment you walk in, the warm hospitality and inviting ambiance immediately make you feel welcome. The space is small and cozy, yet manages to feel elegant and upscale--and, most importantly, it's spotless. It's a perfect setting for both a romantic dinner date or a small group looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience. We started with wine, but I'll admit the wine list was a bit limited, especially when it came to Spanish wines, which are my go-to. Still, we found a decent option by the glass and moved forward with the meal. One standout feature here is the daily chef's specials, which aren't listed on the menu. Your server will explain them in detail, but interestingly, they don't mention the prices upfront. We ordered an appetizer from the specials (pictured below) and--no surprise--it was absolutely delicious. For my main dish, I had the truffled risotto with filet mignon, and all I can say is wowsers--rich, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. To top it all off, I was surprised with a birthday dessert: a decadent chocolate lava cake, presented with a song from the entire staff--even the chef came out to sing! It was such a thoughtful and fun gesture. The entire experience was A++. Christian, the owner, was incredibly friendly and genuinely made us feel like valued guests. I'm already looking forward to many more visits to this fantastic restaurant.

Chicken

Our waitress Diego was nothing short of a five-star waiter. The ambience was cozy. What's most important? The food was excellent. We had the Miami spice menu today. We had the soup of the day and a Caesar salad for an appetizer and we ordered the chicken for lunch. And we had two desserts, the tiramisu as well as a. ricotta and pistachio cake. Left with a very happy stomach.

Guava and cheese pastel with vanilla gelato
Rachel P.

First time here but won't be the last! Service was great and food was truly even better. The filet mignon and risotto were to die for. The venue is very clean and looks modern, love the ambiance. Our son had a kid's portion pasta and they were very accommodating with adding a side of protein to it. The only suggestion we have is to chill the canned soda rather than only serving it with ice, but that's an easy fix. We plan to return soon.

My husband and I were frequently visited Secreto whiched moved to a new location. We drove by the old Secreto to see what was put in its place and found MISTERO. We made a reservation and was extremely happy that we did. The food and service was amazing, I had the Filet Mignon with Mushroom Risotto and my husband had the Home-made black linguine with shrimp and calamari sauteed with fabrialo pomodoro sauce which was made with perfection. The restaurant appearance is beautiful and modern. What delighted us the most was that the MISTERO chef was the old chef for SECRETO which clearly shows why the food was perfect. That's 'a win win for MISTERO and for us as the Chef is amazing. Loved the new owner Christian as he was interactive with us, our waiter Diego was attentive and efficient and the best part was seeing the chef Jairo who's a culinary genius. The food, wine and team made this an wonderful experience for us. We are looking forward to returning when we come back from New York.

Combo Pasta with Shrimp

Food was excellent and service was fast and very friendly. Will be back again with friends and family to enjoy other things in the menu.

Dessert was vanilla gelato and a pastelito de guava. Doesn't get more Miami than that!!

See all

Visited with a dinning buddy on December 30th last year. I can't recall if the restaurant is part…read moreof some dining program or if it was because he had a Groupon, or something of the sort. It's a South American version of Italian cuisine. Let's start with how the place looks: on looks alone, it'd be the type of place that had it not been because my friend wanted to go there, I would have walked out immediately upon getting the first glimpse inside. While there's nothing terrible about how the place looks, it screams: we are not a total success and esthetics is not top of mind for us; with odd pieces of equipment, furniture and decor. It looked like a bit of a 90's 'time warp'. The place was small, and it was packed on a Tuesday night - I guess that means something. We had to wait for a table where some poor guy with a backpack was sitting awaiting his carry out pizza. After a few minutes he was 'oddly' relocated to a beat-up pleather armchair-stool (where top layer had peeled off) at the 'bar' (literally a view of the pizza oven) - the 'seat' came from somewhere in the back of the restaurant to make due for the poor guy (it was freezing outside that night) - needless to say, it was an odd scene (seemed like he was being evicted to the bar); and that set the tone for what about to go down for us that night. The table he was in before he was evicted from in order to give it to us (without them changing any of the tableware [glasses, silverware, napkins] that was already laid out on top of it) was what I like to call, a 'divorcee' table. It was a foot away from entrance door, and it was about 2 feet wide and 4 feet long, and it was butted long-side against the glass storefront, so we almost had to shout at each other from 4' away. The server seemed like a friend of the owner or family member, and behaved a bit odd. He advised about a special where we'd get a free bottle of red wine if we ordered two entrees, which was our case; however, given neither of us drinks, much less red wine, I asked if they had white instead, to which he swiftly replied 'no' as in: it is what it is. He asked if we wanted to take the bottle home and we declined since we wouldn't use it. Instead, we asked if we could swap it for free garlic rolls (3 pieces for $2.95), and just as swiftly he shut that down , so we forwent our more costly wine and paid for the garlic rolls - they were average (rate 3 out of 5). There was a dish that I believe was Alfredo with ham - now, that's a first for me in an Italian restaurant. I told my friend, I've never seen ham as a protein for an Alfredo unless they meant pancetta, but no, they meant cubed deli ham. So I opted to change the dish at a premium. Since I'm a fan of a good Alfredo, against my best judgement, I asked for the 'Alfredo' with chicken instead ($24 with chicken here). It was VERY HEAVY as if they had made it largely with oil and heavy cream. Thankfully, the Parmesan cheese and charred chicken helped make it acceptable. However, something was amiss with that dish as it sent me straight to the bathroom upon arriving home - and that extended until the next day, and maybe day after that. It could have been the included small side salad - who knows. My friend ordered the Ravioli Di Portobello at $29 - not an adequate price for this place. My Alfredo should have been more like $20 based on quality and locale state. For dessert, we tried the limoncello cake ($9.95; 4 out of 5) - the waiter read the dessert from memory and recommended that one. It wasn't bad except for the fact that it was drizzled in bitter dark chocolate topping. Not something I'd personally expect on a limoncello cake. When we brought that up to waiter as something he should have warned us about, he's attitude was like: that's how we do it, which it's fine, 'as long as you warn the customer' - it's like asking for tiramisu and finding out that restaurant makes it with nuts - if it's not the norm, and customer is not looking at the menu, common sense should kick in and customer should be warned. Anywho, suffice it to say, this is not a place I'd ever return to. Bouna fortuna for the thrill seekers.

We ordered the calamari for an appetizer along with osobuco for dinner and eggplant parmigiana…read more Everything was absolutely delicious. The owner came over to our table and gave us a brief description of his life. We will definitely be coming back to visit this place real soon
