    Lobster ravioli (special for the night)
    Cat N.

    Not a favorite in Miami but it was pretty up there. I came here on a Thursday night with no reservations and was told it would be an hour wait inside. Or we can just sit outside. I went for outside since we were so hungry. We did notice that those without reservations that were seen waiting maybe had to wait about 20-30 minutes instead. Once seated we were given complementary bread which was nice. Our waiter went through the menu with us and told us the specials. We were also told all their pastas were hand made, as can be seen through the window, and was highly recommended. We started with the carpaccio di polpo, which was an octopus carpaccio. It had a zesty lemon taste which was delicious and a great start. For food we shared their paccheri con gamberi e pistacchi pasta and a lobster ravioli. The paccheri con gamberi e pistacchi was a pistachio creamy sauce that had shrimp and other goodies. It was absolutely yummy and I can see why many people get it. The lobster ravioli though was my personal favorite. It was a special for the night and I highly recommend it if they offer it. It was stuffed with lobster and the red sauce was divine. Both pasta dishes were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The staff was nice, knowledgable, and attentive. The restaurant is small so hence the wait. Reservations is recommended. It is cute inside when I peaked and I love that there is a girl making pasta in the open for everyone to see. The outside has a cute patio area where we sat. Parking is hard since its located on the street in a high volume area. But worth checking out.

    This was my first time to Pane e Vino. It was highly recommended & it did NOT disappoint! The ambience was very relaxing & inviting. Our waiter, Pedro was very attentive & friendly & did a fantastic job giving suggestions on the menu. I had the Branzino- absolutely delicious with the capers & black olives in the sauce. The Tiramisu was the best ending to a wonderful meal- one of the best I've had in a long time!

    I know what you're thinking. Espanola Way, touristy, the food is probably just okay. I thought the same thing and I was so wrong. Pane e Vino is genuinely one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Miami and I will drive and deal with the parking headache every single time without complaint. Every pasta I have tried here has been incredible, no exceptions. Make a reservation though because they are almost always packed. And if you need any more convincing, on my birthday I had reservations somewhere else and by six or seven PM I canceled everything and decided I want to go here instead. We got a table at ten thirty, had an amazing meal, split a bottle of wine outside and it was the perfect night. That is the kind of place this is. Ten out of ten, worth every bit of the effort to get there!

    Carpaccio di Manzo

    Amazing time and amazing quality of food! We loved seeing them make fresh pasta in the front of the restaurant. The dim lighting sets the mood from the busy Miami streets. You never want to feel bloated in Miami. We ate until we were full and were still able to wander around. The highlights of our meal were the ravioli, the carpaccios and the tiramisu. 10/10 presentation on the tiramisu. The service was impeccable! If I go back to Miami, I will absolutely be back!

    We came down to Miami to explore the food, and boy did we find a GEM! Its start with imtimate beautifully decorated dining room. The soft jass music added a sofisticated but animated vibe. Our waiter Pilar guided us in to more than a meal an experience! She was awesome not only explaining the dishes but also offering great suggestions and insight. Her enthusiasm for the food let us know we were in for a treat. The salad was magnificent the dressing just the right amount of sourness and tartness. De comp bread is crunchy, warm and soft. We also ordered the Arancini di Riso, Pilar encouraged us to try it and wow, the texture and flavor on this were unique, a crisp and creamyness that was outstanding! We had three main plates that we shared. Agnolotti Piemontesi, Pappardelle al ragù di Agnello, Paccheri Gamberi & Pistacchi. Each plate as amazing as the next. The truffle on the Agnolotty was exceptionally tasty. The ravioli exploded with flavor and umami in your mouth. The Veal in the Parpadelle was tender and had robust and aromatic flavor. The texture of the pasta complemented the sauce and the way the veal mingled with the plate. The Pacchery had a more delicate flavor. The shrimp was well cooked and tasty but the quality of the pasta really shined on this one. This was one meal for the books! Come here for date night or with friends you will love it! Worth every penny.

    It's such a cute little date night!! There's outdoor seating as well but we sat indoor. It's well decorated, darker as seen in pic giving a romantic vibe. There's a lady at the front hand making the pasta!! You can tell it's fresh. Service was great - Pilar, our waitress made a fantastic recommendation for my dish and it did not disappoint! My husband loves cappelletti and we're always on the hunt to find it for him. The bread is my favorite bread, on the softer side but still has that crunch on the outside, just flavorful, doesn't need anything with it. The cannoli was great too and so was the tiramisu. Would highly recommend for a date night!

    Panna Cotta too gelatinous
    Debbie P.

    We ate here last night. There were 4 in our party and we ate family style. The food was very good, however there was nothing that blew us away. The service was great and we loved the ambience. We ordered the Agnolotti Piemontesi, Pistachio & cream sauce w/ shrimp, the Lamb Ragu, and Cannelloni. We shared the panna cotta for dessert. We felt it was too gelatinous in texture. The berry sauce on it was delicious though.

    This is not just a regular review for me because before Pane e Vino took residence here, this use to be a bakery that I visited very often. It holds so much nostalgia for me. It was a bakery for many, many years, even after I left Miami Beach, when I'd come visit, I made sure to get a pastelito de carne with an orange juice and then one day; the bakery was gone and Pane e Vino was here in its place. As illogical as it may be, I held resentment towards Pane e Vino because of this. I'd grumble and scowl when I'd walk by until one day I saw a man making fresh pasta at the window. Yes, this piqued my interest. I then looked at the menu, and I saw a lot of wonderful variety, but mostly that their pasta is made fresh so it occurred to me that in this instance perhaps one legendary establishment can become another one in this place, and I decided I needed to give this restaurant a chance. I have some friends who join me often when I go to Miami Beach and so we ordered a bunch of dishes to share. I'm really glad we had our waitress Pilar steer us in the right direction. I love truffle anything and she highly recommended the truffle arancini. I'm soooo glad we got it, and that was probably one of my favorite things to eat ever. I have never had such creamy polenta in my life. the truffle and cheese in this was enough to almost bring me to tears. This is how great food is done. Even the salad and the simple dressing was amazing, really fresh and delicious. We tried three different pasta dishes, but my favorite without a doubt was the lamb ragu. This dish was everything. The lamb was so tender and flavorful. You know that lamb will sometimes have a gamey flavor? Not this dish. My second favorite pasta dish was the truffle ravioli. It's not like a truffle infused oil or salt they used, its actual shaved truffle, so delicious. The bread, the good quality olive oil, everything was fantastic. Even though my beloved bakery belongs to the past; in its place is now another magnificent establishment that I will look forward to visiting whenever I'm in Miami Beach.

    This was a really cute, authentic Italian spot! The service was great and the food was very delicious! Me being the oddball that I am was craving Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo and it wasn't on the menu, but they made it for me anyway and it was yummm! Can't beat fresh pasta!! Will definitely visit again next trip!

    Stayed an extra night just so we could come here one more time. Food is out of this world, service is superb and the atmosphere is the cherry on top.

    Pane e Vino is such a cute, intimate restaurant with the best cozy ambiance. One of my favorite parts was watching the pasta being made fresh right there, which really adds to the experience. I had a reservation and was seated right away. I ordered the Agnolotti Piemontesi and wow I was completely blown away. I'm usually not the biggest ravioli person, but this was so flavorful, incredibly filling, and had me wanting more. We also got the Guazzetto di Cozze and it was amazing. The mussels came in a spicy broth and were absolutely delicious. They start you off with complimentary bread, which was a great touch, and honestly everything we tried was a hit. Service was excellent from start to finish. Such a great dining experience all around and definitely a place I'd return to.

    If you're tired of the overpriced, underperforming tourist-trap-of-a-restaurant food that's rampant in South Beach, then you need to book a table ASAP at Pane e Vino. This place is the real deal. The food tastes original, authentic, and made with genuine passion for the food (not just to turn a quick buck in South Beach). It was possibly the best meal we had on our trip there. The staff was charming and the dining area tight and cozy (our street table was fun and bustling but not for the claustrophobics-at-heart). The pistacchi pasta was recommended by our waitress, and can I just say... I literally still think about it weeks later. It was so, so good. Velvety, toothsome, unexpected, filling... everything you could want in some killer Italian. The Scaloppina was good, but I'd honestly stick with their pastas over their other plates. I could not recommend Pane e Vino enough, and would wait two hours for a table there over a walk-in at ANY of the restaurants on Ocean Drive.

    Octopus appetizer
    Bob C.

    Was in town with some family to see Andrea Bocelli, dinner before seemed like a great idea, and why not one of our favorites: Pane e Vino? We made the earliest reservation and were promptly greeted and seated. Staff there is always so friendly and professional too. We were not rushed and simply well taken care of. If you do not know Pan e Vino, do know this place is cozy with outdoor seating. We were seated immediately behind the pasta maker in the front window. How cool. All through dinner we looked up to see what pasta was being made at the moment. They make what is needed as needed, this is fresh! We ordered a bottle of wine and some appetizers. See the pics. Octopus and some risotto dish if I recall correctly. It does not matter my memory, anything you order will be very good. Our dinners were varied and sadly I don't recall what we each ordered but I ordered the dish where they turn your freshly cooked pasta in a cheese wheel and serve. This is prepared table side. Always cool to see that. Dinner was wonderful and we each tried the other dishes at our table. All the flavors were a treat to enjoy. Dessert was Tiera Misou, I am sure I butchered that spelling. Regardless, the Italian cookies are from Italy and the dessert is prepared at the table. Fabulous. We always enjoy our meals here. We will be back.

    While visiting Miami Beach, I had one goal: eat at least one restaurant recognized by the Michelin…read moreGuide. After dinner at Macchialina, I can confidently say I chose wisely. Italian restaurants often talk about simplicity, tradition, and technique. Macchialina backs up those claims with execution. You can certainly order à la carte, but I would strongly encourage first-time visitors to consider the chef's tasting menu. At $75 before wine pairings, it feels almost suspiciously underpriced. By the end of the meal, I wasn't wondering whether it was worth the money. I was wondering how they weren't charging more. The first course arrived as a trio. Creamy polenta with mushrooms, onions, and chives, broccoli rabe topped with toasted breadcrumbs and a soft-boiled egg, and a savory pastry filled with sliced pork and a rich sauce. All three were excellent, but the polenta was the dish that immediately demanded attention. I've had a lot of polenta over the years. Very little of it has approached this texture. It was impossibly smooth, somewhere between polenta and a luxurious puree. Combined with the mushrooms and broth, it delivered a deep, earthy blast of umami that lingered long after the bowl was empty. The second course showcased three pasta dishes. Macchialina's signature cavatelli with veal meatballs, porchetta, and pecorino, agnolotti stuffed with ricotta in brown butter sauce, and a classic cacio e pepe. Choosing a favorite felt unfair. The cavatelli delivered hearty comfort and deeply savory flavors, thanks in large part to the tender veal meatballs. The agnolotti burst with creamy ricotta filling in every bite. The cacio e pepe served as a reminder that great ingredients and proper technique rarely need embellishment. For the third course, a veal Milanese arrived perfectly fried and topped with arugula, concentrated tomatoes, and Parmigiano Reggiano. A grilled lemon accompanied the plate for a final squeeze of brightness. Halfway through the dish, I found myself thinking a touch of balsamic might improve things. Then I caught one of the concentrated tomatoes in a bite and immediately abandoned that thought. The tomatoes provided exactly the acidity and sweetness the dish needed. Nothing more was required. Dessert sealed the deal. Bread pudding made from Sullivan Street brioche, banana, hazelnut crumble, and bitter chocolate. It was paired with vanilla ice cream, and drizzled with caramel sauce. It was rich without becoming heavy, sweet without becoming cloying. The slight bitterness from the chocolate kept everything balanced. It ranks among the best bread puddings I've eaten. Technically, the tasting menu is four courses. In reality, it delivers eight thoughtfully prepared dishes that showcase the kitchen's range, creativity, and restraint. For diners curious about tasting menus but hesitant to jump into a multi-hundred-dollar fine dining experience, Macchialina offers one of the best entry points I've encountered. It feels approachable, generous, and remarkably polished. Some tasting menus leave you impressed. The best ones leave you planning your next visit before you've even paid the check. Macchialina belongs firmly in the second category.

    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.

In fact, the couples dining around us were joking with my husband that he was making them look bad because their tables didn't have the same romantic setup. It made us feel incredibly special. What impressed me most was how genuine the hospitality felt. I've dined at many of Miami's most exclusive and expensive restaurants, and sometimes they make you feel like you should be grateful just to be there. Casa Tua is the complete opposite. The team genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for every guest. They aren't pretentious--they're warm, thoughtful, and focused on hospitality. Those little details make all the difference. The food was absolutely phenomenal. While the menu isn't extensive, everything we ordered was exceptional. I had just returned from a trip to Italy, and I can honestly say the truffle pasta at Casa Tua was every bit as good as the best pasta I had there. It was outstanding. The Branzino deserves its own paragraph. I've ordered Branzino at some of the finest restaurants around the world, and this was, without question, the best Branzino I've ever eaten. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely unforgettable. To top off an already incredible evening, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert beautifully decorated with "Happy Anniversary." It was another thoughtful touch that made our celebration feel even more personal and memorable. Dessert was incredible, the wine selection was excellent, and every single course exceeded our expectations. Another pleasant surprise was the value. Considering the quality of the food, the level of service, the beautiful setting, and the location in South Beach, I expected to spend far more. I've paid nearly twice as much at other Miami restaurants and left far less impressed. Finding this combination of exceptional food, genuine hospitality, beautiful ambiance, and reasonable pricing is incredibly rare. I also have to recognize our server. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name, which is a shame because he deserves a special mention. He was a young gentleman from Venezuela who provided some of the best service I've received in a very long time. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help. Every recommendation he made was excellent, and throughout the evening, we never felt rushed. Instead, we felt cared for and welcomed, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. In today's world, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find restaurants that excel in every category: outstanding service, exceptional food, beautiful ambiance, and fair pricing. Casa Tua delivered on all of them. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary there on Thursday, July 2, and it was an evening we'll never forget. From the beautifully decorated table with roses and petals to the complimentary anniversary dessert, every detail made us feel celebrated. I sincerely hope this level of hospitality is what they consistently deliver because if it is, they have earned lifelong customers. I cannot wait to return, and I will be enthusiastically recommending Casa Tua to all of my friends and family. It was, without question, one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had.

    I really don't understand the hype about this place. Food is good, but it doesn't land in my top…read moreten Italian restaurants in Miami; maybe not even top 20. If you're not seated on the patio, which is admittedly a beautiful setting, then you can do much better at a bunch of other Italian restaurants in Miami. i recommend Macchalinia.

    We had dinner at Café Prima Pasta with our best friends, and it was fantastic. We've been before…read morebut forgot how good it was. The complimentary bruschetta and bread bowl was delicious. 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!

So my very high level of anticipation may certainly be partially to blame for my average-ish experience. I was pleasantly surprised to get a table with no wait at ~6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were high, as expected, but at least the pizzas are of reasonable size. The $32 pasta portion probably could've been a bit more generous. But anyway, on to why we're all here - The Pizza: The crust had a great crunch but I felt lacked nuance beyond that, no chew and a touch on the dry side. Cheese and sauce were fine but also unremarkable. The heaps of basil provided some bright freshness that was definitely appreciated. I feel even more compelled now to try the NYC location for comparison! This wasn't a bad pizza by any stretch but not something I would ever pick over my favorite NYC standouts.
