    Canareggio

    Absolutely delicious pies. The service was very attentive and quick. Great portions, fantastic quality and such interesting ingredients! I would definitely come back. The restaurant itself is a little small, and it's VERY loud in there. But considering they have Flanigans close by and it was packed - you know they're doing something right.

    Pasta Carbonara
    Karyna V.

    Meeting some friends for lunch and this place didn't disappoint! Food -- All plates were big enough to share and presented beautifully. I had the pasta carbonara. It was incredibly creamy, the bacon was flavorful and the pasta was cooked to perfection...a perfect pasta dish! My other friends ordered from salads to the chicken parmesan and all of it looked as savory as mine. Ambience -- Very welcoming and impeccably clean. It is not a big location but it was ample enough that no-one in my party felt cramped during our stay. They have a semi-private area that accommodated all 16 of us. Service -- The server was knowledgeable of the menu, accommodating to our needs, and made some incredible suggestions of food and drinks based on what are cravings were. Overall, the service was how it should be -- pleasing, friendly and welcoming! I truly loved this place enough to go back with my family...truly a delicious treat!

    This place is absolutely delicious. The Food was amazing and quite reasonably priced. All of the servers were friendly and so efficient! The place has a modern, feel, but the dishes are definitely traditional and authentic. Thursdays they have a ladies night with all the wine you can drink with an entrée and on the 19th of every month you can buy one pizza and for .19 cents a second pizza will be given to a child in need. What an amazing concept !

    Can't believe I had never been here! If you're in the mood for Italian food this is a great spot in Pinecrest. The mall's facade is under construction but don't let that dissuade you. The inside is inviting with what appears to be a full service bar at the entrance. There are plenty of tables and some booths towards the back. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Everyone was very happy with their order. Great pizza, penne rósate (pasta with smoked salmon), bruschetta (of course), meatball appetizer with focaccia, traditional lentil soup, and caprese. All was delicious and appeared very fresh. We skipped dessert this time but I'm planning on returning to try their Nutella pizza with some coffee. Yum!

    Amazing service! They are pet friendly and the server even brought a bowl of water for our dog. The salad with chicken was delicious, the pizza yummm and the lasagna my husband absolutely loved... it is perfect for the family! We will be back for sure!

    Delicious thin crust margherita pizza
    Maria F.

    I ordered two margherita pizzas and a half dozen garlic rolls. The pizza was cheesy, thin crust, and just the right amount of sauce. The sauce was very amazing. It was tangy not sweet and the ratio of sauce to bread to cheese was well balanced. Every slice has a piece of fresh basil. The taste is amazing. The crust is crunchy and soft in the middle. The garlic knots are soft, fresh Parmesan cheese and definitely not oily. They have specials that make ordering from here a no brained. Will definitely continue to make this my go to pizza place.

    First time having dinner at their Pinecrest location which was just as delicious when I was first introduced to Piolas in Brickell. Our server was fast and friendly. Saw we had a toddler and got the orders back on the double. Nicole has their draft IPA from Lagunitas-one of her favorites. I had a 3 hour run Sunday morning to complete so I stuck to a large bottle of San Pelegrino. The pizza had ham, artichoke and olives on it. The salad had salmon, Brie, tuna, and eggs amongst the arugula. We enjoyed our night out. Definitely would come again. A very kid friendly environment. I liked being seated in the booth.

I usually avoid ordering pasta, it's just not my thing but their spicey 3 cheese fusili is killer! We love the pepperoni pie with onion. Sometimes we'll let the server pick our toppings just to experiment. Their Kale Caesar is delicious as well. Highly recommend the Mozzarella sticks. See cheese pull featured on photos. What's really neat is that this a NY based restaurant that people usually wait in line to try and get it but here on the beach we've never waiting more then 10-15min to be seated. Service overall is timed well. We never wait to be attended to and food always come out hot. Atmosphere is relaxed and not pretentious at all. Family friendly for sure and there are booths for small parties of 5-6. We love it there.

    I visited Lucali Miami in advance of a cruise and to no small degree planned my day around dining…read morehere! 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.

And while the pizza was tasty, if I'm being completely fair, it just wasn't memorable enough for me to understand the hype or feel like I needed to come back for it. I did end up coming back a second time to try the pasta, and unfortunately, that experience was disappointing. Both my friend's pasta and mine were significantly undercooked. What made the situation especially awkward was how it was handled. The waiter seemed almost bothered that we mentioned it, and eventually the owner came over and spoke to my friend, saying he would personally make sure hers was cooked properly. But he never asked about mine, even though mine was just as undercooked. When my friend's pasta came back, it was much better, but mine was never addressed. The whole interaction just felt strange and uncomfortable, especially considering we had the exact same issue at the same table. Between the pizza not quite living up to the expectations I had going in and the experience on my second visit, I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to return to.
