    Agnolotti
    Rima H.

    Very romantic and cozy restaurant both in door and patio seating. Perfect for a birthday or rehersal dinner. Huge selection of pasta, we got short rib pasta which was delicious. The best part which you must not miss is the desert! Must have the tiramisu and what's even better is the cheesecake!!!!!

    Tiramisu
    Evelina K.

    A wonderful find! The pasta was absolutely delicious and it's my new favorite pasta spot in Miami! The pasta itself is so flavorful and the way they combine it with sauces is just perfection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also liked the vibe inside the restaurant - it has modern luxury atmosphere that is great for a date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the tiramisu. It wasn't bad but the pasta set the bar very high. I think it was missing flavor in the cookie, maybe it should've had whiskey base or something. Would be happy to come back!

    Paccheri Ai Tre Pomodori

    We got three pastas to share, all the top recommendations from the server and the chef. Each pasta was amazing and different in flavor. The paccheri ai tre pomodoro was a wonderful tomato based sauce with some sweetness from the datterini tomatoes. It's lighter but still savory with the consistency of the sauce. The spaghetti carbonara was not overly salty and had the perfect amount of richness. The conchiglioni al sugo de carne had a heft amount of meat in the sauce yet each bite wasn't overwhelming. Can't go wrong with either of these dishes. Will definitely be back to try the others.

    Great Italian in Midtown. I had the carbonara with perfectly al dente spaghetti, and my friend loved the fresh pasta with beef ragù and she said it was delicious. The lunch special included dessert, so we finished with pistachio gelato and coffee, which was a perfect ending. Street parking was available and easy to find.

    Tagliatelle bolognese

    Pasta e Basta was such a great find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels authentic, elegant, and very "Italian trattoria" style -- cozy but still fancy enough for a nice night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You really feel like you're dining somewhere in Italy. The waitresses were incredibly kind and attentive, always checking in and making sure we were having a good time without being intrusive. The service honestly made the experience even better. All the pastas are fresh and perfectly al dente, just like true Italian style should be. I tried the Rigatoni all'Amatriciana, and the sauce was bold and powerful with authentic Roman flavors -- absolutely delicious. The tagliatelle Bolognese had a rich, well-balanced ragù that tasted slow-cooked and homemade. The agnolotti filled with ribs were super flavorful and comforting. I also ordered a glass of wine that unfortunately tasted a bit oxidized, but the waitress handled it very professionally and kindly replaced it with a Nebbiolo, which was excellent and paired perfectly with the food. I still need to go back to try their carbonara -- it's a classic and definitely next on my list. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh pasta, authentic flavors, and great service.

    Cheesecake and chocolate cake

    I always rave about this place to coworkers. This is the second job I've had I was able to convert people to Pasta e basta fans!! Came with co workers for their lunch special I believe it's pasta dessert and espresso for under $25 ! I got the carbonara , it's so flavorful and the pancetta is juicy and crispy. Food is always fresh and consistent in taste. I got the tiramisu for my lunch dessert it was so good and also taste very fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat in the garden and it makes you forget you are in the middle of Miami. The vibe feels like you are on vacation in a wine garden.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can say it's a small place and fills up all at once for lunch so service can be a touch slow for extra request. But the overall experience is worth it

    Place is small, but very charming - it has a cool and hip med/California vibe. We showed up to celebrate an event without a reservation on a Friday night around 8:45p (peak hour), and the staff was very polite and accommodating - we waited maybe 15 minutes before they found us a table for 3. The food was great: I had the carbonara - it was delicious - I rarely, if ever, give high praise, and this dish was a 6 out of 5 - it was not like any carbonara I've ever had, but it was delicious. The crispy cured guanciale (pig cheek) was out of this world (really crispy and flavorful - mind you since it's cured it's very salty, but I love salty). And the pecorino Romano had a strong acidity to it making the dish the best carbonara I've ever had. We also ordered the BEEF LASAGNA and CONCHIGLIONI AL SUGO DI CARNE (short rib pasta). I only tried the lasagna and it was decent, I would order it - I'd rate it a 4 of 5. I did not try the short rib pasta, but my friend said it was great. Throughout the experience, the staff kept frequently, professionally and 'seamlessly' checking on us without intruding at any point - they were prepared for recommendations and knew how to politely handle anything you threw at them. For desert we tried the CHEESECAKE BASCA (basque cheesecake) and it was delicious 5 out of 5 - portion is so good it's not big enough. We also tried the SALAME AL CIOCCOLATO, which are homemade chocolate cookies from a sausage form factor - they bake them into sausage shape with Callebaut Cocoa. Crushed Biscuits and Coffee Kalua. Then slice them like salame - you get four pieces - I don't like chocolate, and I enjoyed these, especially contrasted against the cheesecake. 5/5 for chocolate lovers. If you want a cool hip but intimate restaurant to take a date or a lunch business partner, this is a good spot. Make sure you make a res in advance - we just lucked out, but don't expect to find a table if you show up at peak hours.

    Fantastic! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small and cozy, with a comfortable atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The style is simple and casual, yet it retains a refined elegance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I absolutely love this authentic Italian pasta spot. For those of us living in the city center, it is truly a hidden gem. Our waiter, Mirko, was excellent.

    Cavatelli al sugo di carne (lunch special)
    Becky L.

    Came here with a friend on a weekday for lunch. Excited that there was a lunch special (pasta, coffee, dessert for $22). Complimentary bread standard and decent, love when it's complimentary. The staff said the most popular pastas were the rigatoni carbonara, cacio e pepe, and the cavatelli al sugo de carne. I ended up ordering the rigatoni carbonara and my friend got the cavatelli. I loved the al dente texture of both of our pastas. If I had to choose, my favorite would be the cavatelli because of the denser texture of the cavatelli and the beef was really good with it. For the coffee, my friend and I were able to choose the decaf options, I got an espresso, she got a latte--both good and great pairing with dessert. We shared the tiramisu and the fig crostada. If you like fruity tart flavors, the crostada is for you, otherwise I preferred the creamier tiramisu. Parking available close by as street parking either in front or across the street. Service was attentive. Ambience was nice and comfortable. Overall a fantastic lunch deal, definitely will consider coming back for the lunch special.

    I had been wanting to come here since it opened, I've had only heard good things about it. Finally came for dinner for a friend's birthday. As we entered the restaurant, the staff greeted us and we were promptly seated. The restaurant is quaint, and decor is minimalistic and beautiful, with a large outdoor dining area. Our servers were very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. I tasted a salad made with tomato, avocado and heart of palms-- I was hooked! I couldn't stop eating it. It was delicious and I want more of it. We also tasted 3 different types of pasta which I also enjoyed very much.. The sauces were *chefs kiss * I will definitely come back for more.

    Tiramisu
    Danielle M.

    We had dinner with some of our friends last night and wow Pasta e Basta was amazing! The lasagna was incredible with the creamy bechamel sauce and the short rib pasta was extremely flavorful. We couldn't help but try the tiramisu and chocolate cake which both did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had friendly service and loved the design inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pasta was authentic and a little slice of Italy in Miami, we will definitely visit again!

    I felt like I was back in Italy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small and cozy and oh so beautiful and classy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious, well priced, and good portion. Very authentic! It's a must try. The lunch special can't be beat, a pasta, dessert, and coffee for $22... #winning. Service was great, the server was very attentive.

    GianMaria worst customer service ever
    Sasil C.

    Worst Customer Service Experience Ever This was hands down the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The manager, GianMaria el manager una Basura de persona , treated my daughter and me with complete disrespect and discrimination. We were made to feel unwelcome from the moment he approached us. What truly crossed the line was when my baby's food was asked to thrown away several times. As a parent, this was shocking, humiliating, and unacceptable. There was zero empathy, no attempt to resolve the situation, and no accountability--only attitude and arrogance from management. No family should ever be treated this way, especially when a baby is involved. Customer service was nonexistent, and management behavior was disgraceful. I will never return and strongly warn other families to avoid this place They did not offer any kids menu options, we were the ones who asked if there was something that they could adapt; they said pasta with any sauce, the manager did not offer anything for my baby, we asked the waiter. we obviously understood that we could not bring food; so we put them in boxes as they required, but the manager keep harassing; and told us that my daughter has 5 minutes (yes, 5 minutes to eat her food); he asked to leave the place. The owner should learn to be humble and human; even the best meal if is offered with disgrace and disrespect is garbage. I usually do not this type of review but last night was an absolute disaster, worst experience ever.

This place has an energy that's hard to manufacture -- warm, lively, and genuinely fun. When Argentina is playing, it's a whole different level. The kind of atmosphere where you look up and realize hours have passed. Fair warning: it does get a little hot in there, but I'd sit there dripping sweat before I'd think about leaving early. That's how good it is. The service matches the energy -- attentive, genuine, and the kind that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It's the full package. Now the food. I don't even know the name of the chicken cheeks dish, but I think about it. Whatever it is, order it. The entraña was cooked perfectly -- if you know Argentine cuts, you know how much that matters, and they nailed it. And then the dulce de leche crepe. I don't throw around the word incredible lightly, but there's no other word for it. Just get it. Don't leave without ordering the sangria either. It rounds out the whole experience exactly the way it should. Fiorito's is the real deal -- the food, the service, the atmosphere. One of those places you just keep coming back to.

While I do appreciate that they say you can ask for the fee to be waived I feel that puts the customer in an extremely uncomfortable position to ask the server (whose healthcare cost you would be helping) to remove. Also, while I think it is nice for the employees and I do support everyone having access to affordable healthcare, we quite literally had three people at our dinner table who didn't have healthcare so the juxtaposition was really strange. I think that this should be an added question to the check on the tablet when you go to pay such as "would you like to add a X% charge to help our employees pay for healthcare" and should absolutely not be an automatic added fee to the check due to the discomfort it puts the customers in. Before I wrote this review I wanted to see if maybe I was alone in thinking this was strange so I texted about ten people and every individual agreed it was. Food wise, they have some great options on the menu! The peaches and burrata was the star of the show it was so delicious. The rodeo Za is definitely pretty fishy so if that isn't up your alley I wouldn't recommend. Also wouldn't recommend the lasagna. The watermelon matcha lemonade was so good!

    truly a wonderful culinary experience…read more.. I will say that I was a little confused when I arrived because I wasn't expecting it to be a food truck. turns out they used to have another brick-and-mortar location, but the building got bought and they had to vacate head, so they're currently one of the food trucks in a little food truck park. The food truck area has good vibes, though very limited parking! (I walked from down the street a block.) The staff of Nude Pita are SO nice. The owner actually took my order that day, and we chatted while my food was being made since there was nobody else in line at the time. She told me her story and her dreams and her love for sharing her food with people... I told her I can't wait to tell everybody about it because it was such a wonderful experience, and then when I actually went to sit down and eat my food, I was blown away all over again. Every bite was divinely delicious! I absolutely cannot wait to try more from their menu.

The fresh pita with tzatziki on the side just brought everything together perfectly. But honestly, the side salad stole the show for me. With cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and a few olives tossed in a delicious dressing, everything complemented each other so well. I also had the zucchini falafel with hummus -- crispy and crunchy on the outside, while the inside stayed moist and firm. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and topped with olive oil... chef's kiss To top it off, I tried both the double smashburger and the vegan smashburger. Both were so good, but the vegan one with mushrooms and truffle sauce really stood out. The chef and staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the food came out hot and fresh every time. Highly recommend if you're looking for something keto-friendly, vegan-friendly, and full of flavor. And don't leave without trying the lemonade Baklava and the vegan chocolate chip cookies. The matcha lavender was also creamy and earthy and paired well with the cookie It's only outdoor seating so come dressed appropriately if you plan on dining at the location but plenty of seats and umbrellas and very chic and cute ambiance

A general unassuming front gives way to a trip to an Italian spot that oozes decor and vibes that you will find in "Europe's Boot" right here in... America's boot? (Keeping it PG here...) The decor when you walk in feels like you are in another country - soccer and Italian (traditional) decor is all around you. The servers and front of house are always bustling around and making sure you are getting everything you want. You feel taken care of, but not smothered... like in Italy. You see a theme here, right? The pizza is crispy, blistered, but with a doughy bite. Perfection. The sauce is made from quality and top ingredients as is everything that a pie can be topped with here. I got the standard margherita pizza with roasted garlic and put red pepper flakes on it and it has been one of my favorite experiences in the US. Everything was chosen and used by someone who knows what they are doing and what to avoid. There wasn't a misstep anywhere in my experience or taste, everything was tried, true, and dare I say... perfect? Washing it down with a Peroni or two, because that is what I did in Italy took me back to my time and experiences there... that's what food can do when you do it right and with the love the OM's delivered. If you find yourself in driving distance and are a pizza lover, you can't miss OM's... it is in fact that damn good.

    As you step into 'O Munaciello authentic Italian restaurant, you will feel like you are in Italy!…read moreThe decor is amazing! What will catch your eyes first is the statue figure of Gabriel, the messenger angel, floating high above from the ceiling looking down on the guests. After that, you will see various items from Italy, colorful wooden tables and chairs, colorful wall decor, branches of lemons hanginf from the walls, Italian dinnerware, and more. The aromas from the kitchen are very pleasing also. They offer a full menu, not just pizza. They have authentic recipes of Neopolitan dishes available also. Our server was Adriane B. She was very pleasant, attentive and helpful with recommendations of the menu. My daughter and I shared amazing dishes of Mussels (Zuppa di Cozze) dipped in a tantalizing sauce and toasted bread, their prized Las Vegas Pizza with delicious toppings, and the wonderful Cotoletta Alla Milanese Di Miale (Pork Chop Milanese with Arugula salad). Our other awesome server was Alejandro, who introduced us to a fabulous dessert called Mascarpone Nutella. It was to die for!!! Wow!! Everything we ate was so delicious! Our experience here was one of the best this year so far. Ambiance, food, service, and decor were A+.

    Alright, where to start here...everything was absolutely excellent!…read more Parker rolls (3.5/5): going to start with the weakest link. Yes these are viral, no they are not mind blowing. Deliciously fluffy and great with butter but they are still just dinner rolls. Hokkaido scallops (5/5): honestly one of the best bites of food I've had in years. The sweetness of the scallops, slight spice from the sauce, and balanced with pickled ginger...perfection. No words after bite 1, near tears after bite 2. Agnolotti (5/5): get this. The corn, crab, sauce...everything about this worked. This is like a healthy work environment where everyone lifts each other up. You'll get the sweet, the chew, the softness, the salty. Just get it. 26 oz ribeye (4.5/5) with peppercorn sauce (4/5) and bone marrow vinaigrette (5/5): okay so this dish was our main and it did not disappoint. You can definitely taste the beefiness from the dry aging and that alone was enough. With the peppercorn sauce it was great. BUT with the bone marrow vinaigrette, that took this steak from "really good" to life changing experience. Kouign amann ice cream sandwich (5/5): if you've never had a kouign amann, it's like if a croissant and a cake had a baby. Add in some ice cream and this dessert would've had to choke me to death on the way down to not get a 5/5. I'm alive and arguably more than ever after eating this platonic concept of dessert perfection. Get this! The restaurant was beautiful, interior looks like an NYC steakhouse while the exterior outdoor seating is very Miami. The service was some of the best I've ever had. Every server was knowledgeable, friendly, and you felt like they all really enjoy being here. Overall, if you're in Miami, you have to come here. One of the best dining experiences I've had in years!

    Out the gate, order the Parker House rolls (get two orders, trust me) and the Blue Crab Agnolotti!…read more Came here for a quick bite before heading back home to Los Angeles. World Cup traffic had us running 30 minutes late for our reservation, but huge props to the host for seating us on a packed night. They gave us a 90 minute limit, which worked out great for our flight timeline. We were seated outside at a tiny 2 top table (maybe it's a Miami thing). While the courtyard setup is really pretty, the tables are squished so close together. When you order as much food as we do, it's a tight squeeze and feels a bit uncomfortable (and risky for dropping dishes!). Plus, Florida heat + the abundance of flies they had outdoors is a thing. Our waitress Vanessa made sure we got all of our dishes quickly so we could make our flight. Food we ordered that are a must: Parker House Rolls (that honey butter dip is addicting), Caesar Salad, Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, and the Blue Crab Agnolotti (my absolute favorite dish of the night). Paired it with the Circus Permit cocktail which was super fun. Food that I would skip: Sent back the duck terrine. The duck steak fell flat despite all the hype, and the yellowedge grouper was covered in way too many leeks for my taste. All in all, a solid 7/10 vibe with a friendly bar up front. I'd drop in for drinks and a few specific plates, but it's not an absolute must repeat for me next time I'm in Miami.
