We went to Sparrow Italia for my friend's birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! The run down: - Note: we ordered everything gluten free and they were able to accommodate. - Favorite Dish: the GF Penne alla vodka was my FAVORITE. Just the right amount of spice and the gluten free pasta was outstanding. - Service: our server was great and very attentive. He even sent a couple rounds of shots to our table because one of our dishes got delayed. - Prices: pretty on par with other Miami restaurants. The cocktails are a bit expensive ($25-$30 range), but the food was priced right. - Ambiance: Sparrow has an amazing vibe and the live music does not disappoint. Nothing like dinner and a show. Overall Score: 5/5 and would go back!! read more

Extremely disappointing experience, especially considering the prices. The food was mediocre at best and ridiculously overpriced for the quality. Nothing we ordered came close to justifying what they charge. The atmosphere was even worse. The music was extremely loud, with 80's rap blasting throughout the restaurant, making it almost impossible to have a normal conversation. If you're looking for a romantic or elegant dinner, this is definitely NOT the place. What makes it even more confusing is the complete lack of identity in the atmosphere. Some guests were dressed very elegantly, while others looked like they had just walked in wearing shorts. Between the inconsistent dress code, deafening music, mediocre food, and inflated prices, the whole experience felt more like an overpriced nightclub trying to be a fine-dining restaurant. For these prices, I expected excellent food, great service, and a sophisticated atmosphere. Unfortunately, this restaurant delivered none of that. Definitely not worth the money, and I would not return. read more

Sparrow Italia Wynwood was a whole vibe. My wife and I went for dinner Saturday night and everything hit -- food, drinks, service and atmosphere. We started with the grilled octopus, easily a 10/10. She had the lobster linguine, I went with the seafood risotto, and both were excellent. My Old Fashioned was made perfectly, but the No Sleep cocktail stole the show for my wife -- she's still talking about it. The live singer performing throughout dinner really added to the experience without taking away from it. The restaurant itself is sexy, energetic and perfect for a date night or night out in Wynwood. Food 10/10. Drinks 10/10. Ambiance 10/10. Service was top-tier. Definitely a spot we'll be back to. read more

It was whatever. Food was mid, service was just okay, and atmosphere was mixed. I got the truffle pizza (texture and taste was similar to cardboard), seafood risotto (heavily lacking flavor), and octopus (the only okay one). The interior is pretty with nice decor and furniture, but it's way too cramped and loud. They sat us (my romantic birthday night with a reservation) in a terrible spot at a tiny lounge-like table in a corner (literally pushed up against the wall) right under a loud speaker and next to a baby. We asked to move, and they were able to move us after 20 mins of waiting for the new table. The table was too long, so we had to shout across from each other to hear over the too loud music. A lot of logistics went wrong while being served, for instance, they brought the app before the bread by accident. I had high hopes before, but I will not be returning. read more

Super nice interior and vibe, I would recommend this as a cocktail bar because their drinks are quite decent but not as a food spot. Food was quite average and overpriced. The spicy rigatoni were the best dish we had and it was alright but everything else was quite average, maybe it's just the Miami spice menu. read more

Wow. Simply amazing. I don't ever go to restaurants like this but I couldn't stay away. Not only was the food more than I hoped for the ambiance was stunning. It was such a beautiful experience with of course the highlight being the live performance of crooner classics from Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. The spicy rigatoni topped with buffalo mozzarella and basil makes my mouth water at this moment. And the pesto is absolutely amazing. Creamy, fresh, and pasta cooked to perfection!

Came for dinner for a reservation for 5 ladies. Arrived at 8:55pm for a 9pm reservation. We waited over an hour to be seated. They said because the full party wasn't there. It was 1 girl that was running late because her flight was delayed so she was going to meet us at the restaurant. After being seated it was very nice and the servers were kind. We ordered the 34oz Porterhouse, Lobster Linguine and the Lemon and Garlic Spaghetti for the table. It was very average. Nothing impressed any of us. We agreed maybe we should have gotten our own meals and maybe we would have found something we liked better. The aesthetics were there tho. The atmosphere is nice and they have a very cute mirror that makes you want to have a photo shoot. read more

Sparrow Italia completely exceeded my expectations. The restaurant is absolutely stunning inside. Elegant, upscale, and everything you'd want from a fine dining experience. Add in the live music, and the ambiance is easily a 10/10. It made the whole dinner feel extra special. They started us off with fresh bread served with olive oil and balsamic, which was a great way to kick things off. We shared the giant meatball for our appetizer, and it definitely lived up to the hype. For my entrée, I ordered the Truffle Cacio e Pepe, and oh my god... it was so flavorful. The black truffle, pecorino, and cracked pepper came together perfectly. We also ordered the chicken parm, and I was not expecting it to be the size of a pizza! It was huge and absolutely delicious. Service was just as impressive as the food. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience feel seamless. Overall, everything was amazing. Between the beautiful atmosphere, incredible food, live music, and outstanding service, this is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

Beautiful restaurant, super friendly service and delicious food. I arrived early on purpose for some happy hour cocktails and bites before my dinner resy, the bar and front seating area is lovely, the glass front allows for people watching outside. When it was time for dinner we moved to the main dinning area, and that's when I saw how big and pretty the rest of the restaurant was. My group and I decided to do Miami Spice and it was well worth it. The portions were pretty big, which allowed us all to share and try each others dishes. The salad was a stand out for app and for the mains the Chicken Milanese and Lemon garlic spaghetti were great, on their own and made for an even better entree paired together. Our waiters were knowledgeable and funny, they helped us pick dishes and sample wines before ordering. We also learned that on this Thursday night there was live music which started around 7:45 and played throughout the night. We had a fantastic evening, we were well taken care of and at no point did we feel rushed. One note to keep in mind is that if someone in your party is participating in the Miami Spice the entire table needs to participate, which was not an issue for us as we went with that in mind already. read more

This is an update to my initial review of: Update: I went this past weekend after being a 5 star all these times that i have gone, i have to drop it down to 4. Everything in my original review stays the same except this 1) They have a summer menu where they took away the chicken parm, the wagyu filet presentation and the plate itself was better in the original menu, and the changes on the menu are ok. 2) The prices have continued to go up and the value is just not there anymore IMO - example - meatball was $42 now. I really do love this place but probably wouldnt come back until the summer menu is gone and then see what the prices are then. Original review - "New Italian Spot in Wynwood. They have valet upfront or try to find street parking or parking garage. Recommended to make reservations ahead of time. Staff was friendly and attentive. They also have a bar area to sit at. They have some live music at night. Not sure if it's all nights. My favorite items on the menu so far are the meatball, spicy rigatoni ala vodka and the rocher dessert. Haven't tried everything on the menu yet. Steaks sorry far have been good as well. Definitely will come back.: read more

I had visited for my birthday and it was a great experience. Service was A1. I loved that they had live entertainment that night. Full service bar so you can literally get whatever drink you want. Everything we ate was literally so good. Best spicy rigatoni I've had, actually had a little kick. My only complaint is that they promote family style but those dishes are too tiny, nothing about it was plentiful enough to share. read more

We came for Miami spice month but opted to order from the main menu. Please note that all parties must order from the Spice menu or regular menu. You can't split it up. The lighting and decor was amazing. Sparrow almafi was well executed. The staff was attentive and made sure to check in or refill our waters. The food was delicious. The lobster linguine was a nice portion but was just a little under flavored for me. My partner had the branzino and really enjoyed it. The oysters were fresh. The truffle Caesar salad was filling. We didn't get to experience the live music but the selection being played was fine. It got busy around 8 but still delivered prompt service. I'd love to try more items on their menu. read more

What an incredible venue! It's chic, classy, and the service makes you feel truly taken care of. My mother and I shared the seafood risotto and the chopped salad, and we were wowed by the flavors. The mussels, clams, and scallops were so fresh, and the salad had a unique bite every forkful that was married perfectly by the house vinaigrette. I'd highly recommend this beautiful restaurant for a special evening out! read more

Sparrow Italia - Seafood Risotto - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Truly surprising and beautiful spot. The room seems to grow as you enter. I like the extra-long bar area, since every chic restaurant in Miami requires you spend time there before you're seated. The low seating areas are sexy and cozy at the same time. The restaurant, the first in America, celebrated the Amalfi Coast during our visit. I wish they piped in lemon scent as well, but the ambiance was a 10/10. Each dish was good, I didn't taste our chicken order, and I really only remember the steak. Unfortunately, our fish dish was forgotten and we were told we didn't order it when we did. They rushed out a plate and it seemed, rushed -- plain and underdone. We were celebrating a birthday and oddly, they stuck candles in each of the many desserts we ordered. Lastly, there are items that are supposedly for sharing. They really are not. The portions were exactly the same as the many other dishes we ordered. As is the case with most higher-end South Florida restaurants, beautiful aesthetic, fair service, and fair food. I wouldn't rush back. read more

Came here with my husband to celebrate his birthday, Friday night with reservations for 8pm. We were promptly greeted but had to wait 5-10 mins or so to be taken to our table. Initially we were seated at this tiny table which is really only suitable for one person that's only ordering a drink with no food. I noticed the put all parties of 2 at these tiny tables. I asked to be moved to somewhere with more space and was accommodated. We ended up being seated at a much larger table that had a cute lemon arch above it. Our waiter was great, knowledgeable, offered food recommendations without us asking and checked in frequently. To order we had the CHILI CRAB LINGUINE, SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA, 8OZ IMPERIAL WAGYU FILET and JUMBO PRAWNS. Unfortunately the food was just ok. The rigatoni and steak did taste a lot better than the crab linguine and prawns. The dishes lacked flavor, the prawn in particular was very bland and very charred. My drink however, was delicious and I highly recommend. From the free spirited portion of the drink menu I ordered the SECRET GARDEN. It consisted of elderberry, salted raspberry, palo santo, lion's mane, chamomile, lime, honey and tonic.' The music playlist and vibes were also really good. There is live entertainment on the weekends I believe after 8pm. The singer that night even came by our table and sang a bit to us which was a nice touch. The resturant as a whole is very clean, organized and delivers great service. read more

I went here for dinner for a cousins outing.. The ambiance was good , at a point in time you get live music. The menu to me was super limited , pasta with no type of protein .. other than the long hour wait to be seated the service was great, loved our waitress. I recommend calling for a reservation but they suck at answering the phone. They do charge you for water and gratuity is automatically added for large groups ( but that's expected). If you ever get the prawns only order 1 because it's very big like lobster meat without the shell. read more

I have been to Sparrow a few times, but last night was lackluster. The atmosphere was perfect. The food was good. The service was non existent. The menu is a family style concept, however the portions were not that large to be shared . The waitress, Martha, did not check on us. She also didn't acknowledge a few requests that were made. She kept forgetting about us. When she brought out the birthday cake she just dropped the cake, barely said happy birthday and ran off. I raved about this place to my friends but last night was not a good representation. read more

We came to Sparrow for an anniversary dinner. We were very excited and were immediately greeted as we walked inside. We had reservations but they said that the table was not ready so they took us to the bar to wait in the meantime. The bartender was great and gave great recommendations. We made most of it and had a drink as we waited. After almost 20 minutes our table was not ready and mind you that was with a reservation. I went towards the hostess and she said that she would come once the table was ready. I will say this really deterred our experience and hindsight this almost felt like a tactic to purposely direct you to the bar and hold you there until you're eventually led to the table as I noted they did the same thing to the rest of the people that came in after us. We were about to leave and finally after about 40 minutes waiting, we were taken to our table. Our waiter was extremely nice and gave us great recommendations and went with the Spicy Rigatoni and got a bottle of wine. The food was phenomenal and we got lucky because that night there was a cool jazz singer/performer even though it was a night they were not supposed to be there. One thing to note is that they do not have a performer every night, so if that's something you want make sure to check the schedule. Overall the Jazz experience with the great quality food was a great way to spend our anniversary but I didn't appreciate the connivance of the establishment prior to being seated for dinner. read more

Took a day trip to Miami on a random Monday because TikTok brought me here! It is such an aesthetically pleasing restaurant with food & vibes to match! I tried the big meatball & the rigatoni alla vodka paired with the flashy ways cocktail. Cocktail was solid, meatball was hefty, and rigatoni was house made to perfection. I will say it was a bit salty but very flavorful. They did have live music while I was there which really set the mood for my solo date. Overall, I would come back if I'm ever in the area ! read more

To find out that Sparrow Italia from London landed to Wynwood was the best news; of course I had to go give it a try! We started our night with a Spanish Ribeira Sacra White Wine which for my liking it wasn't chilled enough so I asked the lady to please put it on ice & sprinkle salt for 20 mins. It was perfectly cold afterwards. For our appetizers: * The B.I.G. Meatball was made to perfection and eat bite was melting in your mouth. Shaved Pecorino on top was a cherry on top ! * Crispy Arancini was a little bland on the inside, black truffle was still missing a little. All in all, excellent crispiness on the outside but majorly lacking in flavor. * Truffle Burrata was definitely our favorite appetizer of the night! Sweet and salty combination plus truffle makes everything so much better! Must order! For our mains: * Bone Marrow Cappelletti is a must order! Wish it had a little more bone marrow to it but dish was to die for! * Linguini & Clams loved it! Needs a little more of the lemon kick it to but clams were perfectly cooked which is highly important because nobody wants an overcooked shell dish. * Grilled Brazino definitely melted with each bite. Must order! You don't even have to chew to say the least! For our desserts: * Assorted gelato/sorbet. For gelato we picked Pistachio (do not order - way too sweet barely pistachio flavor to it * a recommended pistachio gelato is definitely at Forte dei Marmi), Coffee (must order; if after dinner you're going elsewhere it will wake you up for sure!) & Coconut sorbet was to die for! Must order - reminded me of Phuket! * Sparrow Hazelnut Rocher MUST ORDER. Every single spoon was divine! If you're a chocolate lover; it is a must have! * Pistachio Tiramisu not impressed to say the least but then again their gelato lacks majorly! * Panna Cotta was infused with Coconut topped with toasted coconut and Pineapple. So refreshing and creamy at the same time. Must order! Our server Mario was the ultimate best and the entire staff! Hands down! Host at the entrance was hilarious or so he thought but great vibes to start off our night! Once it's 7 live music begins and they have quite amazing singers which amazing vibes! Amazing night with amazing friends! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Ps. Make sure to make a reservation because good luck trying to get in. read more

Very middle-of-the-road for me. I dined here in November 2025 on a Sunday evening. For starters, the ambience is wonderful. The restaurant is very dimly lit and has a very romantic/sexy vibe. The "theme" is hip-hop so there was R&B/hip-hop music playing in the background which was great. Towards the end of the night, there was also a lounge singer and guitarist (or bassist, can't remember) and they performed some R&B classics. As for the food, it was less memorable than the vibes. The appetizers left much to be desired. I know this is more of an Italian fusion/steakhouse but Italian restaurants generally have very good appetizer options - this place did not. I believe there were two raw/crudo seafood options, there was a beef carpaccio option, and I think also an arancini. Where was the fried calamari option?! What about the fried zucchini?! I feel like any Italian restaurant worth their salt has to have one or the other if not both. Since there was no calamari or zucchini, I opted for the beef carpaccio, and honestly, it wasn't great. It was under salted, and the only real flavor profile was the truffle. Ask where the main dishes, there were two seafood pasta options. When we were seated, I was informed that the whole lobster option was unavailable, so I attempted to order the other seafood option, which was a lobster and shrimp or calamari pasta. (I cannot remember exactly which seafood was in the pasta dish.) After ordering the waiter came back and let me know that this dish was also unavailable. I wound up ordering the beef cheek pasta dish, which was OK. It's served on a plate with a thick layer of a melted sharp cheese. Not my favorite, but if you really like cheese and beef, try it. Unfortunately, I can't say that I would ever return. read more

Amazing dining experience at Sparrow Italia in Wynwood. From the ambiance to the service to the food, everything about Sparrow is a total vibe. Although it is an Italian Steakhouse, this trip we opted for all seafood, so a second visit is in store for the full steakhouse experience. All of the pastas are homemade and you can taste the difference from boxed premade pasta. The pasta sauce on the Lobster Linguine was absolutely delicious. It was like a spicy vodka sauce but better. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly and paired with a red pepper puree and potatoes that we couldn't get enough of. It was fresh and smoky and not at all fishy. It was amazing. The prawns were seasoned and cooked perfectly just the same. The texture and taste did not disappoint on but and also, they were HUGE. Largest prawns I've ever seen/eaten. The Sparrow Chop is top 3 favorite salads of all time. It's an explosion of flavor, with pickled onions and crispy kale and crunchy pistachios; I took home the leftovers it was so good. Sweet, tart, fresh, honestly everything I look for in a salad. The drinks were also top tier. I had the "If I Ruled The World" and my friend had the Negroni. Both drinks were delicious and paired really well with our meal. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse, which was like a Ferrero Rocher ball with a delicious mousse center. I'm not a big dessert person and this was the perfect way to close out the experience. Art was a fantastic host and server. He made sure we were well informed on the items we ordered and catered to our every wish. The restaurant had a live performance by an R&B singer on Saturday evening too, just adding to the good vibes. 10/10 recommend Sparrow Italia to all lovers of Italian cuisine. read more

Missed the Mark! :-/ Visited Sparrow for a 2nd time and didn't quite have the same experience. This time, I came with my partner for date night. We started by orderring a specialty cocktail each and we shared an appetizer. The drinks were not impressive. So much so that I choose a glass of wine for our second round and my partner asked for a basic vodka tonic. My main, the Cacio e pepe, was overly salty and the prawns were sadly overcooked to a mushy texture. The overall ambiance and vibes were nice. The live vocalist sang quite well. Our server was yet to be found most of the night, and the quality of the food was such a disappointment. Especially after I hyped the place up to my partner the way way I did. Won't be returning. For the price, we expected so much more. read more

Unfortunately, the restaurant was grossly overrated. Pros: The service was excellent and the ambiance was lovely. Sebastian was exceptionally hospitable, kind, attentive, and professional. Cons: The experience was highly overpriced given the food quality, descriptions, and social media hype. The bread was stale. The "BIG" meatball was just okay, definitely did not seem like half a pound, and was not worth $36. The bone marrow cappelletti actually made me nauseous while eating it, and my partner did not like it either. The truffle cacio e pepe is shown in the photo. Honestly, a 10-year-old could make a better pasta dish. There was no truffle flavor whatsoever. Someone came by with a grater and what was supposed to be white truffle, but there was not even one note of truffle taste, and trust me, I know truffle. As for the entertainment, it began at 9:00 p.m. and ended at 9:17 p.m. The singer and band were good, but the performance was extremely brief and fairly basic. The song selection was smooth rather than overly touristy, and I will give them credit for the sound design. The music was clear, but not overpowering, so you could still have a conversation. Overall, we paid for the full experience, but it felt like an enormous waste of time, anticipation, and money. read more

Sparrow Italia - dessert menu is so cute - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Overall, I am glad I checked out Sparrow Italia, but I probably will not be returning. The ambiance definitely gives off a great date night vibe. We walked in for our reservation and had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes because our table was occupied. Not a big deal at all, but worth noting. The seating was a disappointment. We were placed in the back next to the bar, somewhat isolated and just overlooking the rest of the room. A major reason I wanted to visit was to see the live band, but we could not see the performance from our table at all, and the speakers were uncomfortably close to us. The food was a mixed bag but had some serious highlights. We started with the Wagyu carpaccio. I appreciated the experience of trying new flavors, and while I personally did not enjoy it, my partner did. The massive meatball was awesome. The steak was a 10 out of 10 with incredible flavor and a perfect crust, and the potatoes were exactly as crispy as advertised. We also ordered the spicy rigatoni. It was a bit too spicy for my taste, though I cannot really complain since the warning is literally in the name. Service started off decent, but went downhill after the first 30 minutes. The food took a very long time to arrive, and the waitress allowed my water glass to sit empty. All in all, it was not a bad experience and the steak was incredible, but the seating and service issues mean it will just be a single visit for me. read more

Sparrow Italia is easily a 10/10 for both food and drinks -- everything we tried was absolutely delicious! I had the Lobster Pasta, which my friend loved and noted had a spicy kick. The Bone Marrow Pasta was my husband's favorite -- rich, unique, and full of flavor. The Eggplant Rollatini, Spinach, and Baked Spaghetti Squash were all perfectly prepared. For drinks, I had the "Can I Lick It" cocktail -- and wow, it was just as delicious and creative as the food. Highly recommend ordering it if you want something fun and flavorful. The dish that completely stole my heart was the Chicken Parmesan. I saw it come out to another table and couldn't resist ordering it to go. It ended up being my absolute favorite! It's like a chicken pizza (literal size) -- instead of a bread crust, they use chicken as the base with cheese layered all over. Genius and unforgettable. The vibe at Sparrow is just as incredible as the food. The setting is elegant and sexy with dim lighting, giving it a chic and upscale atmosphere. They also have live entertainment -- the night I went, a phenomenal singer performed 89's & 90's R&B, which made the night feel extra special. Even the bathrooms are thoughtfully designed: unisex, one-person stalls with their own sinks inside. Overall, Sparrow nails it -- amazing food, drinks, ambiance, and entertainment. A must-visit if you're looking for an elevated but fun dining experience in the city. It's officially my new favorite restaurant! read more

I was excited to try Sparrow after hearing many great reviews. We did wait a little long for our table and to get sat but they offered us a dessert on the house so it was a nice gesture! For apps, we started with the eggplant rollatini, and ahi tuna tartare. For me, the eggplant lacked flavor, I only tasted toasted breadcrumbs, not my favorite plate. The ahi tuna tartare on the other hand was absolutely delicious. For my entree, I ordered the spicy vodka rigatoni pasta and it was so so good I brought the leftovers home (no good food left behind!) The restaurant was nice, elegant with live band but the music after the band was done was a bit loud & hard to listen to conversation. Our server was extremely attentive & menu knowledgeable. I wish I had taken his name. He did a great job. read more

Very sexy, dark, romantic atmosphere! It was beautifully decorated. One of the best ambiance ive witnessed in Miami. We were sat right away by our wonderful hostesses. Our waiter was a little rude and pushy, basically saying we weren't ordering enough food. I didnt like his vibe. The singer was amazing, he played Drake songs and even old playbacks. I wish he sang a couple more songs because he was so good. but it was nice he took breaks so we could have table conversation. He was interactive and walked around. We were out of our chairs singing and dancing.. so fun. The food is definitely tasty and good. Not the best italian ive ever had, but definitely still a great experience. The bread service was awesome with tasty warm soft bread. We also ordered: -eggplant rollitini- covered in cheese! tasty eggplant dish and nice crunch with the panko -crispy arancini- delicious warm balls and the truffle notes definitely came through -sparrow chop- probably my favorite thing GET THIS SALAD. i like when salads have a lot of ingredients and this one had radish, lettuce romana, chickpea, chili, red onion, pistachio, provolone picante, shallot vinaigrette.. so good! -wagyu Bolognese- good taste, good meat, ive just had better bolo before -spicy vodka- definitely good, but i compare it to the other famous restaurant's spice vodka (IYKYK) and this one is def good, but not as good. All in all i definitely would come back for drinks and apps! read more
