I was in a very desperate search for wifi somewhere near Lincoln Road. My trusty Yelp iPhone app came in handy and led me to Panizza. I found a tiny table to set-up shop inside and was quickly waited upon. Before I decided on what I wanted to nosh on while working, I got a good look at the empanadas, pies and montaditos. It all looked too good! I ended up ordering a chicken empanada, cortadito and grabbed a dulce de leche factura from the pastry bar. My chicken empanada was served very hot but once it cooled down, I took a bite and it was delicious. My choice of factura tasted fresh and left me wanting to try even more. Not wanting to go crazy early in the morning, I fought the urge. All in all, not a bad breakfast for five bucks. I hung out here for a good couple hours and the waiters didn't seem to mind. They kept coming by asking if I wanted something more which was thoughtful. It was a great place to do some work although not the kind of spot you want to try if you like to do your work in silence. Instead, this place is abuzz with groups of different people chatting over delicious Argentinian fare. I personally like getting things done in environments like this so the next time I find myself in need, Panizza will be my choice. read more

Cutest little spot on the other end of Lincoln Road that I crave every now and then. Their facturas are perfect for a Sunday morning breakfast. Forget brunch, their facturas or ham, eggs and cheese croissant and a cup of cappuccino, will be your weekend's highlight! Remember to tip your servers! @francescaMusica read more

No, just no First off who doesn't and won't serve iced tea in Miami? Who? Then, I asked for apple juice- We no have Then, I asked for the oj- We only have enough for mimosa Really? Gee wonder why! Service is horrible Portions are small and they charge you for things that are supposedly included, such as the egg on the steak sandwich-which by the way, the only good part is the bread The avocado toast was one thin slice of bread with an oniony guacamole spread- And a few wilted pieces of lettuce on a plate The place tries and is cute enough but don't eat, unless tug are getting some pastry and coffee Worst money spent in a long time read more

We run into this place by accident. We had movie tickets and a short time to eat before the movie started. We noticed this place had empanadas, so we thought it would a good and quick dinner. However, when we got the menu, we found out a lot more of other possibilities that we could choose. They have small plates, tapas-like, and regular entrees. The restaurant is located in a small corner, but it has inside and outside sitting. The service was fast and precise, and the server very attentive. The wine and beer options are a few with local and international brands. The prices are not over the top, but a little bit above average due to that are of the city. Anyhow, we loved it and is our spot now before going to the movies. read more

Good service BUT no server either outside or inside was wearing a mask. Inside the place was packed and no one was wearing a mask. Forget about social distancing I won't come back as long as they do not have servers wear masks read more

This review is simply based off of the pastries and empanadas. I came in here to just check it out and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and price. The empanadas are $3 each, which is relatively priced for Miami, and they had about 6 different varieties to choose from. I ordered a corn and a beef. Inside the corn empanada was cheese, cream and sweet corn, in a homemade pastry shell, which was very delicious and unique. The beef was good but not the best beef beef empanada I've had in Miami. I would deff come back to get the sweet corn empanada. They also have a pastry station in the back that is constantly pumping out fresh homemade pastries, including cream filled croissants, butter croissants, donut type pastries and other various pastries, for $1 each. I love how they have this set up. You go in the back, grab a basket, pick what you want and then you bring your basket to the front for check out. They were all delicious! I'll be back! read more

I live in the neighborhood and have tried to love this place but they are charging way to high prices. Almost $16 for 2 eggs and tiny portion of potatoes is way too much to get repetitive local customers. Just another tourist trap. read more

I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken it was phenomenal. A nice glass of Pinot Grigio to go with my yummy pasta. They also had a great variety of pastries and sweets inside that you can take home or eat there. The service was good and the ambience was casual and private I think. read more

We were on our way to see a movie at the Regal South Beach which is only a few blocks away from Panizza Bistro. I was craving pizza and the restaurant we'd planned to go on Alton had closed, so we decided to try this place When we arrived we went inside and asked to see a menu, were both were happy with it and then it turned awkward, as the staff just kind of stood there looking at us, but didn't offer to seat us or show us to a table, prompting me to shrug and say "Um, so we just sit anywhere?". Service was decent after that. We each ordered a beer and asked for water for the table. I ordered a pizza and my partner a salad. Both of us were happy with our food, but to be honest, we were surprised at how long it took them to prepare it after we placed our order. Neither the pizza or salad were anything complicated, yet it felt like we waited at least 20 minutes or more between the time we ordered until our food was delivered, and I think there was only 1 other table with patrons when we arrived. Pricing was fair, but I'm not sure I was impressed enough by this place to return, especially with so many other good restaurants in this general area to choose from. read more

Check your bill! When I went recently, I wasn't given a paper check, and the waiter had added a service charge without telling me. (I used to eat here often, and in my experience, they've never added a service charge before.) Not knowing, I gave an additional 20% tip. I've been trying for months to get a refund, but the owner (Carina) won't return my messages and refuses to speak to me. read more

Awesome breakfast spot, the decor is so classic and dainty! Coffee, quiche, omelette, toasted bread can't say enough they were all so good! This is a def win! Trust me this is a must! read more

UNBELIEVABLY GREAT!! My wife and I wish we could live here. Seriously - the owner is a strong woman named Carrina - who knows how to run a restaurant! Every single item is great here. I am not exaggerating. I used to work as a chef (Sheraton Hotels). The tappas, the empanadas, the quick egg breakfasts, at dinner the entrees are FANTASTIC! Nothing beats this place - and the espresso drinks are heavenly. 5 star - no joke. read more

I have been coming here for 15 years. Love the pastries and lomito sandwich and the charming atmosphere. Recommend this place for fresh Argentinian breakfast, brunch or lunch. Service has never been outstanding. A pity because I think that would make it an make better experience. read more

Great little spot. I'm usually not a fan of Argentinian empanadas but they were delicious here. Also tried the tomato bread with Serrano, which was incredibly tasty. All in all an excellent spot for a bite! read more

Panizza - Maria making coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I love this place. Me gusta mucho Panizza. I work in the area and because my first friend in Miami was an an old lady from Cordoba I live love sandwich de miga. This place makes great ones and I eat them almost everyday. When the owner found out I was going to Argentina for a month - he made the whole staff only speak to me in Spanish to help me prepare. The food and the staff here are so great. They made feel just like a " Porteneo " ( nickname for guy from Buenos Aires ) even for a little while I was in Argentina. I wanted to add that I had a Rotary meeting here last week because I has some guests from Argentina in town - they closed the back of the place off for me and 20 plus guest ---- The owners made it look like an elegant restaurant for the night and my guest were impressed. The made me look like I ran the place -- gracias !!! read more

3.5. This stretch of Lincoln often gets overlooked in favor of the sexier part east of Alton. Doing my best to shine light on as many businesses as I can, I feel duty-bound to remind people about Panizza. From the reviews, it seems as though its heyday was in the not-so-recent past and things have slowed for them. I think there are some elements worth re-visiting if it's been a little while since you've stopped in. To begin, I must impart this caveat: I didn't dine here nor did I purchase a traditional meal. After a weekend of eating like I had broken into Willy Wonka's Factory after-hours, I needed to chill out and get some of my sexy back (in other words: starve myself, drink wine and hope that my stomach flattens out). Knowing that I needed something to accompany my Chliean cabernet sauvignon, I stopped into the unfamiliar storefront in search of goodies. I found them. Empanadas, people. Empanadas. Start and stop with these bad boys. I ordered four and in order from most enjoyed to least (which is relative because I enjoyed all of them): Chicken: pulled chicken with delectable seasoning. Many people say that chicken's boring. It doesn't have to be. This proves why; Caprese: a nice standout. I was pleasantly surprised that the empanada had a crunch to it. The texture and balance of the ingredients made this a standout; Cheese & Onion: it's cheese & onion. 'nuff said; and Mushroom: another cheesy mix, the saltiness of the mushrooms added to the savory goodness of the pastry. Eating the empanadas whilst drinking wine (and watching trashy tv) made me feel delightfully European. Had I dined in perhaps I would change my tune/review. But, for a light take-out around $10, Panizza provided a much-needed break from the usual Sobe quick food fare. read more

Loved the facturas and other Argentine pastries, empanadas, affordable food, the laid back atmosphere, and a good cup of coffee without having the feeling of being rushed out just because you're trying to get comfy down in South Beach! Kudos, Panizza! read more

As I was wrapping things up in the Apple Store I had a craving for pizza. I whipped out my phone to Yelp the closest pizza place near me. I wasn't satisfied with the ratings of the one closest to me, so I decided to take the walk to Panizza. Panizza is a quaint little delicatessen. I believe they are a Spanish, Argentinian, and French fusion. Remember I came in craving pizza? Well guess what I didn't order. Pizza! They have a full blown menu, from pasta to salads, to main dishes, sandwiches and more. I decided to order some empanadas. I got 1 spinach and ricotta, 1 Arabian(spicy meat), and 1 caprese for my momma. I still wanted something else so I got an order of the goat cheese croquettes. The empanadas, were tasty but nothing to really jump and shout about. I found them to be a little stale. The fillings were delicious! Especially the Arabian one. My mom really like the caprese empanada I took home to her. The goat cheese croquettes are a delicate subject. I didn't care for them too much, they were executed perfectly and you can tell they were made fresh to order. They did not have a drop of grease on them. I forgot how strong goat cheese tasted lol. This is a lovely little spot and I will definitely be returning. read more

Met some friends for brunch here. I ordered the iced latte, tuna & cheese panini w side salad. My sandwich was served on French bread instead (cold) but I was very hungry and it was very fresh. The service was good and the food was fresh and tasty. My friend ordered the eggs rancheros and enjoyed it. My other friend enjoyed her stuffed tomato. We sat indoors so it was airy. It's a comfy casual place away from the hordes of tourists on Lincoln Rd. Pricing was pretty reasonable for Lincoln Road as well. read more

I was exploring Miami Beach with a friend when we stumbled upon this place. We had just finished dinner nearby and were looking for a quick drink. We saw the chalk board outside of this place with $4 glasses of wine for happy hour and decide to check it out. We both got a glass of wine and after we were done decided to look at the menu. We decided to get some cappuccinos and split a slice of the ricotta cake. The ricotta cake was excellent. The cappuccino was one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had. I dont know what they did to make it so good, but it was incredible. The rest of the stuff on the menu sounded very good, but having just eaten beforehand we were too full. I'd recommend checking this place out. Next time I am in Miami Beach I'll be stopping by for another cappuccino and ricotta cake. read more

Have only had breakfast at Panizza, and their food is yummy. Great pastries that you pick yourself. As is all of their prepared coffee based drinks. Waiter service is consistently poor- doesn't matter who is serving you, they are overwhelmed, inattentive, take too long to take order, bring food, follow-up, clean table. That being said, it is still a great neighborhood place, just don't expect good service. There is a consistent group of regulars who can occupy outdoor tables for hours nursing an espresso, but that adds to their charm, as long as you are also at a table, not standing around and waiting for one. Indoor seating is crowded and incredibly NOISY. read more

A quaint little restaurant, has wonderful outside seating to enjoy the breeze later in the afternoon. Their sangria is to die for - it's only $10 and it's literally one of the best sangrias i've had. Only 4 stars because the empanadas were not our favorite, but that's okay because the sangria is great. Will definitely be coming back to this place! read more

AMAZING! This word sums up the place, the staff and the mouth watering food from Spain, Italy and Argentina; not to mention best coffee I've had in a years!!! This place is a must!

So today the ladies who were working there eye rolled me when I asked not to put any romaine lettuce as a side to the pie Don't you guys watch the news?? And even if you find it strange, I'm a client , not your business I left super pissed Updating my review since the owner is obviously rude as well. It doesn't matter where you get your products from. There's no prove of it anywhere and I cannot just TRUST your employees. Especially when they are RUDE even if it's all as you say I still have a right to refuse to eat romaine lettuce when it is being advised to avoid it at all coasts Good luck with such attitude I used to come to your place a lot and bring many friends over, but apparently you don't care read more

I've been a customer for about 7 years now and absolutely love this place.. the coffee, the pastries, empanadas, and all other items from their menu are excellent for anytime of the year. A special note for the spectacular barista Sindy (check out this beautiful iced coffee she made in the photo) and the wonderful Mayra (waitress) for great service and friendly conversation. Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

Panizza - Iced Coffee made by Sindy, the best barista! - Bakeries Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

My husband and I have been here twice now. The vibe is super cute, light and airy. Great environment or a morning coffee or breakfast. But the menu is much more expensive than other cafes in the area. We ordered cappuccinos the first time and they were basically just lattes. We ordered lattes this time. Both times, though, the drinks were in 12 oz. cups (drinks on the menu only offered in one size) and there was only one shot of espresso in them, so our coffees were pretty much just cups of hot milk! That is usually disappointing, especially when you are paying an expensive price for a drink like that. I think we were hoping they'd be better because of how cute and authentic the place seemed. read more

The inside is really cute and the pastries are good. Service sucks, we had to keep asking our waitress to refill our (tiny) cups of water. They messed up my order but I didn't want to make a fuss. The goat cheese croquettes were awful, I asked if they could remove it from the bill because we only took one (1) bite. The waitress looked pained when I asked, although I made no comment about the service or mix up. It was the least they could do and even still, I told her to forget it as she was fidgeting with the tablet to remove them off the bill.... read more

Excellent service and the empanadas the best! My boyfriend love it and me too. Everything is fresh and homemade, even the orange juice, they made it in the moment. Also they have almond and soy milk just in case you are lactose intolerant like me. The best waitress is Sandra read more

If you ever ask me where do I go for breakfast, well there is only one choice, and that would be Panizza. This cozy- only local corner, located west on Lincoln Rd is the best place for a Cafe con leche and a Yummy sandwich, paninis, pizzas, and even lunch deals. Food is just so simple that you will feel at home. The service is so warm and friendly that they will make you feel like a regular even if it is your first time. The name comes from the owner's last name which is an example of the Sunday family feast type of food and service they provide. Everything its made from scratch; you will find a wall full of freshly baked pastries, assorted empanadas, Quiches, and even layer cakes. They offer happy hour, dinner and catering for all occasions. I'm telling you, you should stop by and let them treat you with food that tastes like home. read more

Went there this morning for a cup of American coffee and some empanadas. The counter person poured me a half a cup of cold coffee, and I kindly asked her to make another pot. The counter person proceeded to make another pot but left the half cup of cold disgusting coffee in front of me ,and then poured about 1/4 more into the cup! I asked for fresh coffee, and they refused to give it to me, they also had no lid for the coffee, so I burned my hands as the coffee splashed on them, while leaving the establishment! The service and attitude here is horrible! I will never be returning to this establishment! Ps. The empanadas were cold and had barely any filling, much better places to get empanadas, in the area! read more

I needed catering for a last minute party. I called Panizza and they were able to put together a menu for a party of 20. I had them suggest a menu for tweens as they can be picky eaters. They suggested pastas, mini empanadas and ham and cheese sandwiches. The order was ready on time! The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and courteous. Great location on Lincoln Road that is easily accessible! Best empanadas in Miami! I will be using them in the future for my catering needs. read more

After an awesome walk in the neighborhood before our flight, my 11 year old was thirsty and I needed caffeine. We stumbled upon this cute cafe and I can see they had some serious coffee machine and we walked in. There were large selections empanadas, baked goods and 5 different kinds of quiche. Everything looked so good so we decided on a spinach and cheese empanadas, Americao coffee and coke. My daughter loved the coke she even took a picture of it. When we were at the airport, she realized she had left her shopping bag at the bistro and started to cry. We called up and the owner Karina was so sweet and immediately offered to ship it back to us in Chicago. Two days later, she sent me a text from the post office confirming the address. I am beyond grateful and impressed with Karina and it's no wonder her restaurant was equally impressive. When something is curated and made by love, it can only be awesome. We will be back next time we are in Miami! read more
