    Roasted half chicken with vegetables and roasted potatoes
    Leslie H.

    We were greeted with a smile and quick service! It's a charming little place with authentic Italian dishes and wine! We started with the Michelangelo Chianti wine which was great! I had the half roasted chicken with vegetables and roasted fingerling potatoes and my husband had the salmon . Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty . My husband never eats all his vegetables but he ate every bite .

    Salad was tasty. Great choice.

    Location was perfect, pricing was good, staff was great, and the food was delicious. I love the fact of being able to get a simple, healthy, and delicious meal. The rotisserie chicken was perfect and I'll definitely be back. Don't miss this treat.

    Spaghetti and Meatball
    Eric J.

    Food is not good. Especially at the price point. Ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese yesterday. The sauce was bland and pasta overcooked. The service was ok. Ambiance was quaint and quiet with dim lighting, occasional distraction of the servers (locals) loudly talking out in the dining area. This type of distraction could have been avoided if they would have done this behind the kitchen door and away from the diners trying to enjoy their meals in peace. Today I gave them a second chance and ordered takeout thespaghetti and meatball. I figured "that's a dish you can't mess up". I was wrong. I couldn't finish it. Meatballs were soggy and fall apart. And the sauce, again bland, maybe even more so compared to yesterday. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for it since the hotel comps it. But I do not recommend this place to anyone paying out of pocket.

    For a restaurant located inside a DoubleTree hotel, the food wasn't that bad. The pasta was al dente, although not all the pasta was boiled the same. I entered from the hotel lobby, but you can also access the restaurant from the mall. The restroom is just to the left side of the bar. There is only one toilet. The inside of this restaurant is very small and dark. They have some bar seating. The tables outside are more spacious. I got the rigatoni bolognese for lunch. It was mid. Can't say I will be back.

    Aperol meh

    This restaurant is on the first level of the Double Tree. We were staying here for a work event during Art Basel, so you can imagine that the whole area was busy. I had the wedge salad with salmon. It hit the spot. The dressing was tasty and surprisingly I woke up thinking of how much I enjoyed it. We sat outside were it was not as loud. Inside the restaurant it was a bit louder than what we were looking for. The outdoor seating sits along the valet parking area, however when seated you don't even notice the valet taking place. I tried aperol spritz. Aston can see in the photo, it was way to orange and tasted like cough medicine. Joshua our waiter took it back immediately. Joshua was efficient. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. The two that ordered the lasagna really enjoyed it. One person had been here before and came back specifically for the lasagna. Enjoy!

    Loved my experience here! The warm bread to start was great. The server was knowledgeable and attentive. I ordered the special, which was a chicken parm with prosciutto on top and wow! The amount of freshly shaved prosciutto on top of the chicken was huge! I loved it, and it was affordable. Will be back.

    Spinach salad

    Food was fresh and delicious! Service was quick and staff were friendly. Nice indoor and outdoor space to eat!

    Drinks from the bar are very good. We had a few Smokey old fashions.

    Amazing restaurant. Everything was fresh and amazing. The entire team treated us like family. The meatballs are truly amazing and it brought me back to my grandmothers kitchen years ago. Every dish was great. Dessert was also fresh and tasty in every way. Love this place. Add it to your list to come and visit so you can have the same experience.

    Banana Bread French Toast
    Stephen S.

    The Banana Bread French Toast for brunch was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed every bite of it. Brunch at Primo's Italian Restaurant was fantastic and we are glade we went. Everyone in our group said that they enjoyed their food.

    Fettuccine Alfredo
    Erika V.

    Stopped by Primos today and I was pleasantly surprised by the food! The place inside looks really nice however we sit outside since we were in gym clothes. Our server brought us the menu right away and on the weekends they have available the Brunch menu and the Dinner menu. We were starving so decided to order from the dinner menu. Our server brought bread and it was delicious! For our entrees, we ordered the Lasagna which was really compact and the bolognese sauce was incredible. Also, we ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo and I haven't had a really good Alfredo sauce in a long time. It wasn't only cream but it had a seasoning base that added more flavor to the dish. Both dishes were a really good sizes!

    Excellent Duck Pappadelle!

    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.

The food was incredible and of course the famous Spicy Rigatoni Vodka did not disappoint, it was definitely one of my favorites! One of my favorite parts of the experience was the tableside Caesar salad. They made it fresh right in front of you which was such a fun touch and it was absolutely delicious. I also had an espresso martini, which was so good! We ended the night with dessert and got to try a little of everything from the dessert cart, such a fun way to finish the meal. Everything from the food to the atmosphere made this a memorable dining experience. It's definitely on the pricier side but I think it's worth it for a special night out. I would 100% come back!

    This review should really be a 3.5 star for the STAFF and AMBIANCE…read more The STAFF: Excellent customer service and ATTENTIVE. 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.

After 1hr 15' (we stayed outside waiting, no drinks), we checked in and the hostess rudely told us that she can't foresee when people will leave. So we took our $350 check to Hillstones, where they value regulars. We have dined at Luca before and love their food, but seems like success has gotten to the hostess' heads. Restaurants, especially in Miami, succeed and survive from the loyal locals, not from tourists nor fads. Seems that Luca has forgotten that. We're happy to take our business elsewhere, even a chain restaurant who values repeat customers.
