    An Amazing night out @ Sparrow Italia in Wynwood Miami! The music is amazing! It's R&B with a live band! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection! The staff was very nice and welcoming. The lighting was low and the esthetics were perfect! If you're looking for a great dining experience then you have to try Sparrow...tell them Resilience sent you.... #Anotherdaybetter

    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.

    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.

    This was the best meal I've had in a long time. In a dinky lit restaurant that is decorated beautifully. They were playing r&b which I love! The server was a pleasant guy and funny. The meatballs are the best meatballs I've had in my entire life, if you get anything from here get that!!

    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 !

    We came back a second time within a few weeks of our first visit we liked it so much, and we tried a couple more things. I still cannot recommend this restaurant enough it's fantastic. The new things we tried this time were the Wagyu carpaccio and the spicy rigatoni - both of which can be made gluten free and both of were delicious.

    Cowboy ribeye bone-in!

    This place was just wow! From the libe band to the food and service this place was special! Looking for a good night with great food then this is the place

    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.

    Incredibly cool live performers, kept at a moderate volume that allowed for easy conversation over dinner.

    Amazing food, great service, incredible ambiance. We sat in the lounge seating and got a cocktail (Femme Fatale) and a lemonade. We ordered the arancini as starters and they were delicious; they also brought us some delicious bread for the table. There was a reduced menu for the lounge seating, we got the chicken Parmesan pizza and the pepperoni pizza. The chicken Parmesan was delicious, and the hot honey on the pepperoni was delightful. Such an elegant date night, we will definitely be back.

    My friend and I treated ourselves to a nice dinner to celebrate all of our recent accomplishments and so we decided to try Sparrow, knowing that it would be an expensive treat. It is beautiful inside and the staff is so on top of it. The vibe is dark and 90's hip hop with upscale aesthetic. There was a live singer there and it just made the space feel even more special. I fell in love. The food was delicious, it was rich, and a great balance. I highly recommend a reservation as this restaurant is in high demand. Portions are small but packed with flavor. I love!

    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.

    Stopped in for a late dinner on a whim hoping to get a table or a couple seats at the bar and scored! We were greeted immediately, and given menus. I loved the ingredients in Flashy ways, but had no idea that the cocktail was an entire experience. It's as if they knew me because I LOVE a cute experience! Lol. The drink was really good! But the bolognese...OMG. Chefs kiss. I didn't leave one morsel behind! And the bill wasn't bad at all. Good food, drinks, and service. I'll be back for all of it.

    Saw this restaurant on TikTok and decided to dine here for my birthday. Staff was absolutely amazing from the moment I arrived until my departure. The complimentary bread was good. I ordered the lobster linguine which was delicious. Highly recommend this location. The live music was also a very nice touch to the dining experience.

    Is the music real loud or a nice decibel?

    Once live music started it was relatively loud. The background music was at a fair level though and not distracting. Good environment though!

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.
