    We were so sorry to hear that this place was closing but possibly opening at a different location. Let me tell you something. This is the best lasagna I have ever had. We had the bolognese one and the flavor was spectacular. Every bite was mind blowing. I'm not just saying it. I need them to open so I can have more. The inside of the lasagna has cheese but not just ricotta, it's mixed some other cheese which gives it a kick and gooey goodness. We also tried their tiramisu and it was heaven. Of course this place was a small pop up location so making a line and getting a spot was a pain but that's how it is. The food make up for that. Hopefully the new location is revealed soon

    Delicious! Try the lasagna! .... Both options are fantastic. The bolognese is super meaty but you can definitely taste the cream and hints of nutmeg. The mushroom lasagne is a dream, creamy and packed with shrooms. Get yourself some wine and finish off with tiramisu... it's to die for. The place is super cozy.. perfect fit a date. Or some intimate conversations with friends.

    Yesterday we stopped by here for an early dinner after reading about Si Papa on Yelp. If you are looking for a very comfortable, nicely decorated, small, casual, friendly bar restaurant with excellent service in Coconut Grove, then this is your place! If you are stressed out and don't want to read a long menu and then make decisions on what to eat, then this is your place. They serve only 2 main dishes: meat lasagna and vegan lasagna. That's it for main courses. Dessert is Tiramisu. Their bar has a good variety of wines. It was too early for us so we passed. Very simple and easy. I love this concept! They are located on Commodore Ave to the right of Lokal restaurant. I didn't see a sign so we just looked for the 3190 sign and walked on in. We were nicely greeted by the host and got the best seats at the bar. They were very comfortable high stools. My daughter and I wanted to try both lasagnas so we each ordered one of each and then split them. We are not vegan but we are open-minded about trying new foods. Our servers were Omar and Matteo, who were friendly, quick, and helpful. We were seated quickly and served quickly. We were given a complimentary glass of delicious green olives while we decided what to order. We both loved the meat lasagna but thought the vegan one was just ok. There is no side dish of bread, which was disappointing and I hope they add it in the future. Some hot garlic buttered crusty slices or rolls would've hit the spot perfectly. The Tiramisu dessert was very good and melted in my mouth. We had a good time and will return again in the future. We parked on the street about a half block away. It was a short walk past little shops and restaurants and beautiful trees.

    Tiramisu - in the prep tray

    Talk about super specialized! I came by this last Sunday to grab dinner and catch up with a friend and try a place that served literally only lasagna and tiramisu. Knowing that they don't take reservations, we lucked out on a rainy evening since we didn't have to wait outside. Sitting at the dimly lit bar, we were attended to rather quickly, and they didn't have to wait too much for our meal either. In the interest of research, we ordered both the vegetarian and the meat lasagna. Heavy on the pesto, and filled with peas, the vegetarian lasagna was not too bad. I did get most of my portion for takeout. (I'm a hardcore meat eater so I'll add some grilled chicken when I eat it.) (3.5/5) Then my favorite: the meat lasagna. The noodles had a nice, past al dente texture well stuffed with the meat Bechamel and portion of red sauce. I amped mine with black pepper powder for a little extra spice. The portion was also sizable enough for me between trying the two dishes that I also had leftover for lunch. The tiramisu was nice and creamy, and I could almost taste notes on some coffee liquor; I liked it! I guess since it was the last portion they had left we were served it on a prep tray instead of plates. Not bad of itself, but little details! My glass of Chianti was robust and dry enough to ease away the Sunday scaries. I don't think they have a full cocktail or wine menu, but they do have a pretty good selection of whites and reds for the evening.

    For a place that only serves two different versions of the same dish it HAS to be exceptionally good and delicious. These lasagnas leave a lot to be desired and they are, I'm assuming, premade and then reheated. I tried the vegan one on my first visit and then the traditional on my second visit to give them a fair chance and review. Although they're not terrible, the dishes need some work. The only thing I was impressed with was the tiramisu. Also the alcohol situation is wine and a few beer options. Space is limited and no reservations. Again, it wasn't terrible but not worth the hype. Hence why I never listen to any food "bloggers" on TikTok or IG.

    Upon walking into the restaurant we were greeted by the host/waiter, he was so friendly and accommodating, we immediately felt welcomed. The restaurant has limited seating so arriving early on a Tuesday only had us waiting 10 minutes for a table in the back to open up. Their menu only has two lasagna options, I opted for the vegetarian option because I love pesto. This was the best lasagna I've had in a while. It was so light with the cream, pesto, and zucchini. I finished eating and immediately knew I'd be returning. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it was the perfect way to end the night. One of the better tiramisus I've had in Miami. Looking forward to coming back (and ordering the same thing)!

    Really enjoyed this hole in the wall! It's really a hole in the wall, we walked past the entrance twice and missed it hahah. Staff was great, service was fast since lasagnas were prepared in advance and they pop them in to get reheated and serve them to you. That was interesting to see. I thought "do i like that"? Didn't give the impression of fresh and they covered the pre-made lasagnas on the counter with a towel alongside dirty plates. If you overlook the process they have, this would be a 5 star. Side note: it was really warm inside as well which took away slightly from the experience. On to the good stuff.. The bartender we had was great and i wish i remembered his name, he let me taste two wines to see which one i liked best, and checked in on us often, provided extra cheese, salt and was really on it. Food came out, and it was incredible! Not like omg the best lasagna i have ever had in my entire life good BUT probably 2nd place. We got one of each and of course the tiramisu. The veggie lasagna was unique and i really really loved the pesto on there, the bolognese was a classic i loved the flavor of the beef. And the creamy coffee tiramisu was also a star, you can't skip on it. Overall, if the line is short and i wanted Italian i would probably stop by again or try the parent restaurant Cotoletta and give them a try. Cute place, yummy food, went for the hype and was not disappointed. Chao!

    The definition of a whole in the wall. The space is small but that adds to its charm. I love the idea of having two options and no matter which entree you choose, it'll be amazing. They have some great wine choices too! Our waiter also ran through the wine list and made suggestions. The lasagnas came out quick and then dessert. Before I get into how it tasted, I need to share that this place holds my favorite restaurant experience to date. Our waiter asked what we wanted and we said we all wanted a piece of the tiramisu, he then returned with the tray and plates and and asked if we wanted for him to cut individual pieces or to leave the tray since it was the last bit left. My table, without missing a beat replied, "leave the tray." We finished it and scraped the sides. It was delicious.

    When you first walk in, the bar is cute and the music is good, setting a nice ambiance. It is very small in here. I saw that there usually is a line, so we were lucky not to wait. We were seated in the back where there were a few tables. It was hot and we were sitting on top of the people next to us (who were talking extremely loudly). We were unable to talk to one another because of this. Onto the food: I like the concept of perfecting a small menu. We ordered one of the red classic lasagnas and one of the green veggie pesto ones. We were unfortunate enough to see the bartender microwaving these lasagnas for 5 minutes before serving. Heating up is one thing but putting them in for 5+ minutes in a micro before serving turned us off. The actual flavor of the lasagna was quite good. I preferred the bolognese lasagna and my sister loves pesto and preferred the other. The tiramisu is tasty. i really liked the fluffy cream. I wish the espresso notes came through stronger.

    Went to check out this lowkey hole-in-the-wall which was hyped up in social medial as a locals-only spot - it's from the makers of Cotoletta, a higher priced similar only one-item menu concept, except Cotoletta's menu is at a much higher cost of $80 for veal parm (Cotoletta is just a few feet away). Ironically, when the bill comes, the name at the top is LOKAL Burger, which is largely a burger joint literally next door (I coincidentally tried Lokal just the week before by pure luck w/o knowing Si Papa was next to it - I'll review Lokal separately). So, looks like Si Papa and Cotoletta are all part of the Kush Hospitality Group. The ambience for Si Papa is hole-in-the-wall chic - the place is small (maybe 9-10 feet wide, by 25 feet or so deep). There's minimal sitting as can be expected from a small space - they call themselves a 'lasagna bar' l, so to match that, 50% of their sitting is at the bar; they also offer 7 small 2 person tables, and one larger booth at entrance that can sit 6 to 8. No reservations. As most know (if you know about the place), all they sell are 2 types of lasagna (meat or vegetarian), hence the lasagna bar, plus tiramisu as dessert. They also sell wine and a few basic soft drink options. All and all, the vibe is a 'locals-only' one that you only know if you've been told about it, which is what I'm guessing they were going for - mission achieved. Staff is friendly, attentive and VERY accommodating. I'd rate them at 5 stars without a doubt. It helps when the place is small and you only have 3 items to offer with minimal seating, so complexity is almost non-existent. THE SUBJECT DISH: I chose the meat lasagna: it is made in traditional in style, meaning, made in baking pans and cut into pieces that are later reheated in an oven. The square seems large, but it's on the thin side. I don't know if they make their lasagna fresh and served on same day, but generally lasagna is made a day before so it can be cooled in the fridge and left to settle / get sturdy - this helps cut it into rectangles or squares which you then reheat by baking in the oven the next day. Again, I don't know whether theirs it's made on the same day, but it did feel that way as it was not too firm (but it wasn't mushy either, it was in between). The disappointing part: for a place that ONLY sells 2 types of lasagna, and markets itself as a 'lasagna bar', I expected the classic meat lasagna to be 'awesome', if not to say: to blow any competition away with flavor. No such case. While there's nothing wrong with it, there's also nothing special setting it aside from any other non-Italian restaurant that sells a lasagna. Except for those restaurants that serve you a runny mush of an excuse of a lasagna. The one thing that does set this place aside is that theirs costs only $15, and that's a great price. So if you need a cheap lunch or dinner and are nearby, by all means you should try this place. Else, it's not worth going out of your way, not even for the lower price, because I can tell you that whatever you save on the lasagna, they make up for by charging you $7 for a simple $0.50 can of coke - that's quite a markup - I would have expected no more than $3.50-$4 for a can from a place like this. THE DESSERT: The one dessert offered, a tiramisu, was also basic; and served right at the table from a similar lasagna-style bake pan. The portion was healthy. As far as flavor, it falls shorter from that of the lasagna - I'd say it's average at best. You don't want to take a trip for this. Worst yet, I actually had 2 or 3 bites and had to stop: the cream is heavy and the 'lady fingers' are almost non-existent, plus the coffee liquid filling in the lady fingers is devoid of any sweetness so it's bitterness contrasts too much against the sweeter and heavier cream. I'm a guy who eats super heavy desserts and there was something off here - I felt the cream was starting to bloat me instantly after just a few bites, so I stopped. My server appropriately removed the dessert from the bill without me having to ask, so kudos for proper service again. She advised she'd let the chef know - hopefully she will. Since tiramisu was removed from check, I don't know how much it costed, IL VERDETTO: service is a 5, meat lasagna is a 3 and the tiramisu is a 2. Overall I'm giving this place a 3 because of great service and the low price of their main dish. Anything higher would be a hard sell.

    I was finally able to snag a seat at Si Papa, and it was worth the wait. Their sister restaurant, Cotoletta, is already a personal favorite of mine, so I was eager to see if the buzz around their lasagna lived up to the hype flooding my Instagram feed. Well...it absolutely did. I stopped in for lunch, and while the restaurant was busy, the service never skipped a beat. Sitting at the bar turned out to be a great choice. The bartender was warm, personable, and took the time to share details about the quality and freshness of their ingredients. I went with the Bolognese lasagna, and it was superb. The noodles were tender and silky, the layers rich and unctuous, and the Bolognese sauce was deeply flavorful. Comforting, yet refined. At $15 for lunch, it's a steal compared to many spots in Coconut Grove. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the vegetarian lasagna and the tiramisu the servers raved about. Si Papa has definitely earned a spot on my radar.

    Si papa was the perfect place to have dinner on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is very small and it's mostly high tops. We decided to sit in the bar/ kitchen area. The waiter was very young and with an accent that sometimes made it hard to understand what he was saying. But he still provided good service. The place just has three things in the menu, a beef lasagna, veggie lasagna and tiramisu. I ordered the three options. The beef lasagna was ultimately my favorite because it was so tasty but the veggie lasagna was good as well. For the tiramisu I received in the container it was prepared which I didn't like. I wanted in a plate that I could take pictures and have it look nice. However, it had great taste and was your classic tiramisu flavor.

    I found this place on TikTok and couldn't wait to try it when I was in the area. The service was quick and simple, and it didn't disappoint at all. I highly recommend it! Especially if you're vegetarian, the lasagna was amazing! It's a small but really cute place! Ambiance is great for solo or dates

    THE BEST DATE-NIGHT ROMANTIC SPOT IN MIAMI…read more Pane y Vino is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right: charming, delicious, romantic, and completely unique. The décor has so much personality, and the entire experience feels wonderfully old-school--from the attentive service to the little details that make you feel genuinely taken care of. The owner is lively, charismatic, and absolutely charming, faithfully tending to her guests and making the whole room feel warm and personal. And then there's the food. The carpaccio was exceptional: paper-thin slices of fresh beef topped with delicately sliced mushrooms and a unique lemon crème that made the whole dish sing. The mussels were enormous, served in a spicy tomato broth so delicious you'll want to finish it with a spoon. Just when you think it can't get any better, dessert arrives. Homemade, gourmet, and prepared right at your table--and somehow it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. It's genuinely spectacular. The surprise hint of Nutella hidden beneath the delicate finger cookies takes it completely over the top. And if you love eggplant parmigiana, theirs is top of the line. The portions are hearty, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and experience, and the atmosphere is made for a romantic night out. One warning: make your reservation in advance. Pane y Vino gets packed, and once you experience it, you'll understand why.

He also recommended a few dishes but ultimately convinced me to try one of the chef's specials which I've been talking about till this day. His staff is also very attentive and diligent. Having said that let me break down what I ate with a nice chilled glass of wine: Antipasto: Burratina...Fresh homemade burrata mozzarella on top of thin slices of prosciutto, basil and extra-virgin olive oil. Served with roasted red peppers and tomatoes. All fresh and with high quality ingredients without a doubt. I wanted something light before the pasta and this was very filling so I couldn't finish it but... Entre: Chef's special...Pappardelle Patagonia. Green flat homemade noodle with vodka sauce, Italian sausage, pancetta, mushrooms and fresh herbs. This was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life. Perfectly cooked "al dente" with a creamy vodka sauce that'd have you wanting to lick the damn plate. That Italian sausage was also so divine and they don't skimp on portions or ingredients. I'm glad Beto suggested this one instead of the Pappardelle Italian sausage. Dolci: cheesecake. I have no idea how I still had a little bit of room for dessert after that feast but this cheesecake was all worth it. Not overly sweet and very rich and velvety. This is arguably one of the best Italian joints in town. Just delicious Italian comfort food made with love and excellent service to got with it. Beto offered an espresso to end this extraordinary meal. He takes the time to go to every table and make sure customers are taken care of and that's what makes the difference. These are the type of restaurants that leave a lasting impression on their patrons and make them come back time after time.

    The patate fritte is one of the most unique appetizers I've ever had! It's a must try!…read more The steak also gets an honorable mention from me, the meat practically melted in my mouth. I still think about these two dishes to this day. Inside is quite cozy for a nice dinner or happy hour meal, but note it's quite small so seating can be taken up fast - inside was busy. The service is very hospitable, the waiter really took his time to describe the dishes and recommend what tastes/dishes would pair best with what.

    A restaurant experience starts with the host/ess up front. We arrived on a Thursday night without…read morea reservation but we were willing to wait, and timidly asked for a table. The hostesses (2) told us 45', we agreed. I asked to go to the bar to have drinks, we were told we couldn't (the bar had some open seats). I said OK, I'll order the drink and we wait outside, hostess was annoyed at that suggestion. She said if we wanted a drink, we'd have to go to their sister restaurant (which was packed). 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.

    Very disappointing experience…read more I ordered the seafood pasta, priced at $34, and was shocked by how small the portion was. The dish felt more like an appetizer than an entrée. For the price, the value was simply not there. The tiny table made the experience even worse, leaving almost no room for plates, drinks, or personal items. Instead of enjoying the meal, I felt cramped and uncomfortable the entire time. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. 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.

    So happy i stumbled upon Felice on instagram and made the drive to try it out! Their pasta is so…read morefresh and their menu is so accommodating! You are able to switch the type of pasta if you wish. Felice is participating in Miami Spice BUT if you wish to order from their full menu they can still serve singular dishes from their Spice menu if you wish. We ended up ordering the fettuccine bolognese & the frutti di mare from the regular menu and the focaccia caprese from their spice menu, 10/10 recommended. Their manager came over and recommended some delicious wine for us! The second floor gives off a romantic vibe which we loved for date night! The first floor is a bit more lax with couch-seating and bar seats open. I left wanting to have tried more! So definitely coming back!
