    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!

    Carbonara

    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!

    Food service and ambiance so good . The Carpaccio is amazing My favorite was the fresh made profiteroles with vainilla ice cream. Excellent, I am coming back for ladies night.

    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.

    Bologna pizza

    Back at my favorite place!! Food was delicious and the service 20/10. Highly recommended

    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.

    CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!…read more Dined on a Wednesday night with reservations, place was full by 8 PM. From the moment you walk in the staff are nothing but welcoming and kind. The small space has such a cozy charm that makes you feel like you're dining in the heart of Italy. Our server Mirko gave us time to review the menu and made sure to answer any questions we had. He was very friendly and attentive without overly hovering, and made sure everything arrived while it was still hot from the kitchen. The food was SPECTACULAR! A meal I will certainly never forget. The "Fiocchetti Pere & Parmigiano" was sweet but had a bite from the black sesame; I've never had anything like it. And the tiramisu was delectable without being too overly sweet. Even the wine was delicious! Can't wait to visit again.

All the staff was amazing and helpful, but our waited Pedro truly made the experience. We started off with the Bruschetta Crostini, which was amazing as someone who loves truffle, and the Mozzarella Fritta. Both were amazing but what really blew us away was the Tonnarelli alla Ruota, which was served table side in a parmesan wheel, and the Agnolotti Piemontesi. They even brought out a Tiramisu for my birthday which I thought was insanely thoughtful. As long as this restaurant remains open they will ALWAYS have us as a customer!

    An opulent failed attempt at fine dining…read more At first glance, the place is impressive -- beautiful cars outside, constant traffic of guests walking in, crisp white tablecloths setting the stage for what appears to be a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the illusion fades rather quickly. The first sign of trouble arrives with the server sporting a rather impressive lip piercing, followed closely by a colleague whose diamond nose stud could probably be seen from space. Not exactly the ambiance one expects when aiming for "elegant." Despite the abundance of servers floating around the dining room, none seem to notice when your knife dramatically dives off the table and lands on the floor -- where it enjoys a long, lonely stay. Water service is also quite innovative: they simply leave the entire bottle at the table, which seems less about generosity and more about avoiding the inconvenience of returning to refill your glass. The food? Sadly just as uninspired. From the octopus to the $68 Milanese, every dish managed the impressive feat of being completely flavorless. The Milanese arrived with a beautiful crust, which raised hopes... until you realized there was no sauce, no garnish, and nothing to rescue what turned out to be a remarkably bland plate. Meanwhile, the staff appears deeply committed to minimizing effort -- though not shy about judging you directly when the tip doesn't meet their expectations. All in all, this place feels like fine dining in costume. Perhaps a return to the basics of hospitality and service would be a good start... followed by a serious conversation with whoever is currently in the kitchen. Good luck to anyone brave enough to give it a try.

We choose the indoor seating this time around, but I think I prefer the outdoor seating. Indoors was lovely. It was dark, sexy, no bugs, and the perfect temperature.

They had amazing team work to provide the perfect high class dinning for guest. I never had to think about water being refilled, wine glass being refilled, or crumbs on the table. They checked in with us just enough. Price: If you have drinks, apps, entree, and dessert expect to spend around $300 or more. Portions: Not the largest portions for "family size" but if it's just two it may be filling enough because they give you bread, cheese, cured meats, and pickled cauliflower for the appetizers. Overall, this is one of our favorite spots and it's truly worth the hype. For it being F1 weekend it was not as hectic as expected.

Its been awhile since I have experienced such service standards. They knew the menu well, could make recommendations, etc. The AMBIANCE: Its a very cool place. Mysterious and subdued. Definitely a place to BE SEEN! Drinks: Very good though some seemed as if they put much less liquor than what the drink really needed, i.e. various martinis we all questioned on the amount of alcohol in them. Food: First, its a very cool touch that they bring out salamis and some nice breads. Overall though we really were not impressed with the food. Calamari - Not very good. Everyone took one bite and left the rest. Pasta dishes - We ordered MANY different ones. The portion that comes out will not feed a child. One pasta was undercooked, one was over cooked and mushy. One was just OK. Fish Dish - over cooked unfortunately and this was the most expensive dish we had. Chicken - came out and was so rubbery. No one liked it. Desserts - They all looked good. Chocolate cake was the best. Banana flambe was fun to watch but the result was much less than stellar. Cost - This may just be the priciest Italian-esque restaurant that I have ever been to. Prepare to be shocked by the final bill while still being hungry. Will we go back? Probably but just for a drink at the bar. Definitely not the food.

We added the stracciatella to our pasta and it put it on a whole different playing field. Every bite was a combination of fresh cheese, perfectly cooked pasta and some of the best pesto you can find.

I think there was a lot of creativity left on the table for that one. The wait staff was nice and always ready to refill our water and the outside patio was absolutely delightful with its people watching and lack of cars on the street.

I would definitely order this pasta dish again, but it's just something to keep in mind. For dessert, we ordered the pistachio ice cream dessert and the tiramisu. The pistachio dessert is the best dessert that they have. I highly recommend you order it. We were a table with four people, and it comes with four pieces so it was perfect.

Charging premium prices while serving such small portions is embarrassing. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. Shame on them!!!! Please don't go.
