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 read more

Si Papa - Vegetarian lasagna - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Love the concept of their other locations. However, I was a bit put off of this location for a few reasons. I understand, 1st come, no reservations. But, have a running list. Don't make us all block the entrance, to make sure we can hold our place. Other point that put me off. Not sure if there is a kitchen. But food is on heating tray behind bar. Being played by bar tender. Good idea but not well executed. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Si Papa - Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

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)! read more

Si Papa - Vegetarian lasagna - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you're looking for simple and flavorful with excellent service, then this is the spot. Si papa, offers up two items; lasagna and tiramisu. The lasagna is offered with meat or veggies and the tiramisu is one of the best in town. Prior to the main course, the restaurant starts you off with the best olives I've ever had in my life! I'm not even kidding. I thought the lasagna could've been more al dente and required a hint of salt, but that's me. My friend thought it was fine as is. But I do know how to cook.....sooooo. lol! The service is what brings this 4-star rating to a 5 star. The server and bar tender went above and beyond. These young men nailed it from start to finish and it's a main reason why I'll go back. Check it out and enjoy! read more

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! read more

If you're gonna only serve one thing, it better taste good and I can tell you that the meat lasagna tastes excellent, the tiramisu fantastic! I did this as a solo diner and sat at the bar, this is a first come first served small little place in Coconut Grove. On a Thursday I was able to walk in around 6 and be promptly seated. Several parties of 2 were able to be sat relatively soon after although there was a decent amount of people waiting when I left. you receive complementary green olives to start your choice of lasagna, meat or vegetarian (I chose the former). Tiramisu for dessert if you choose, right from the tray, it was delicious. I had a modest red with the lasagna and sparkling cava with the dessert. I was full and happy! read more

Went to Si Papa for dinner the other day. First impression was how cozy and non-corporate the space looked, great job. When you walk in there's one booth at the front window that seats 6 people then there's the bar that can accommodate several more guests. Beyond that the back room can seat 12 people. (Tables on the sidewalk too but way too hot to sit outside in August.) As you probably know, they only serve one item: lasagna - either the Bolognese (tomato meat sauce) or the vegetarian (peas and zucchini in a pesto and béchamel sauce). We ordered one of each and glasses of wine. No appetizers on the menu so we were happy to see the server came back with a dish of tasty olives for us to enjoy. Our server placed the two dishes of lasagna in front of us literally less than 5 minutes after we were seated. With only one menu item, the kitchen can put out food in record time! It's a bit odd to see that "the kitchen" consists of someone popping ceramic dishes in a counter top convection oven right there at the bar. The door I saw in the back room was to the bathroom - not the kitchen as I expected. Looks like the food is prepared off site then brought to the restaurant and heated up right there in the middle of the dinning room. (I didn't even notice a dish washing machine... do they take the dirty dishes around the corner to Coteletta to be washed?) While seeing your dinner popped into an oven to be heated up in front of you might take away from the charm and mystique of a chef carefully preparing your meal for some, I do have to say, both lasagnas were absolutely delicious! I preferred the verde over the two but you can't go wrong with ether one. If you only make one thing, you damn well better do it perfectly - And they did. Bravo! It was fun to have the server place an empty plate on the table then come back with a tray of tiramisu and spoon a healthy portion on the plate for us to share. Yum. Bummer that they don't have espresso or coffee to go along with dessert. The experience may not be right for some people looking for lots of selections but we truly enjoyed ourselves. I will recommend the spot to others and look forward to going again for sure! My one gripe is that the music was too loud. We arrived just after they opened so there was only a group of 6 at the front booth, a couple at the bar and a couple in the back room. The music was so loud which caused the 6-top to all shout. Everyone has to speak above our normal speaking voice level and the in order to hear each other - even with less than half the tables sat it was very loud so, a full restaurnt must be roaring loud (which is a typical Miami phenomena that absolutely ruins the dining experience for me.) The loud music is why I gave only 4 out of 5. Checked my watch as we walked out the door. We were in and out in one hour. read more

Si Papa is one of Coconut Grove's best-kept secrets. With just 20 seats and 8 bar stools, this little spot is as cozy as it gets. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the whole experience feels more like being invited into someone's home kitchen than dining at a restaurant. The menu is as straightforward as they come: two lasagnas (traditional or vegetarian), one dessert (tiramisu), a handful of wines, and a single beer. That's it--and honestly, that's all they need. The lasagnas are prepared next door in their sister restaurant and finished off here for the last 15 minutes. The tiramisu is scooped right out of the Pyrex dish it's made in--light, creamy, and the perfect finish. There are no takeout orders, no substitutions, and no endless menu--just a small number of lasagnas each night. When they're gone, they're gone. That's part of the magic. Simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious, Si Papa is proof that sometimes less really is more. read more

We stopped by Sipapa in Coconut Grove recently, which is kind of a cool little concept because the entire menu is basically just lasagna. You can either get a meat lasagna or a veggie lasagna, and then they have one dessert, a tiramisu, along with some wine. The place itself is really small and intimate, maybe twenty or thirty seats total, with most people sitting at the bar and just a couple of tables in the back. While we were there, you could literally watch them rolling out lasagna after lasagna nonstop in this little oven behind the bar, it's basically the whole operation. Unfortunately, the AC had broken the night we went, and it was brutally hot inside. We ended up leaving halfway through the meal because it was just too uncomfortable, but the staff was really friendly about it and actually comped the meal, which was super generous of them. As for the food, we tried the meat lasagna. It was definitely fresh and you could tell they use good ingredients, but it just didn't blow us away. The texture was a little on the soggy side and honestly, we've had better lasagna at other spots nearby. It was fine, but for a restaurant that only does lasagna, we were expecting something a bit more impressive. We didn't try the tiramisu so I can't speak on that, but overall the whole experience was just okay. The staff and the cozy vibe were great, but the food itself didn't quite live up to the concept. I'd give it about three stars, interesting to try once, but not a spot I'd go back to when I'm really craving lasagna. read more
