    Truffle pizza (overpriced and feels like cardboard)
    Kelly K.

    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.

    Rigatoni and spaghetti
    Anton P.

    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.

    A treat for me for sure! Though it's pricy yes but the experience of it all was worth it! Our server Alex was is magnificent! Our selections in the meal DELICIOUS! It's a total "cool vibe". Decor selection of music playing totally in my favor actually my party as well! We enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you!

    Truffle Cesar Salad

    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! I look forward to coming back and bringing my friends.

    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.

    Chicken Parm Alla Vodka Pizza- buffalo mozzarella, chicken milanese, pesto, fresh basil, calabrian chili

    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.

    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.

    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.:

    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.

    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.

    Gorgeous Italian spot tucked away in Wynwood. Their happy hour is especially notable with a wide variety of options on the menu. The food is all good, nothing especially memorable but does the job well. The drinks are fantastic, as is the service and ambience. The evening performers are also great.

    Seafood Risotto
    Jaclynn W.

    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!

    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.

    So how's the price? I can't find a prices menu anywhere 😂 I just want to know if it's within budget or not.

    It's in the middle not super expensive but it's not fast food prices lol but the quality & service is worth it

    Is the music real loud or a nice decibel?

    When the music is on, IT IS LOUD!!! Like you can't talk to your party or date!

I'm happy for the owners that it's always so busy, because clearly they're doing something right, but that's also the one thing that sometimes deters me from going. I miss the old days when it felt a little more quaint and you could actually find a spot to sit down and hang out. I love how relaxed and unfussy the whole experience is. You grab your cheeses and hams, they put together a nice little board for you, and you just settle in and enjoy. I still haven't tried the steak, but every time I see and smell it cooking, it looks amazing. And you really can't beat the live musical acts they bring in. Some of the best musicians in Miami come through here, and I love that about it.

There are plenty of options to choose from, which makes it a great spot whether you're coming for a glass of wine and music or planning to hang out for a few hours. What I really love about this place is that it gives such strong "third space" vibes. It feels like somewhere you can come to relax, meet up with friends, listen to good music, and just enjoy the atmosphere without feeling rushed. The outdoor patio is huge and definitely one of my favorite parts. There's plenty of space to bring a group of friends, grab some wine, and enjoy the live music. Such a fun local spot.

You'd think these folks just took your best friends magical back yard and created the most fun party in their house, but instead its at Understory and you can enjoy this oasis weekly on Thursday's and Fridays. I went for the first time last Thursday where I got to try a rum punch but with Mezcal that was delish. Then I moved on to a selection of delish wines and pizza by Flour and Weirdoughs. To say the vibe is impeccable is an understatement. I happily stayed until they closed at midnight, passing the time hanging out with friends and listening to the most fire playlist. They also have live jazz that starts at 9, which you can't really hear from the wine bar area since the space is so large, and DJs later in the evening as well as Friday. You can enjoy free entry before 8:30 pm. The best way to stay up to date on their weekly pop ups is to follow them on IG at @Understorymia. Can't wait to return!

When I came last weekend the vibes were great, it was just extremely packed to the point that everyone was grinding up against each other. Which in that moment I didn't care because I figured it's at capacity and that's normal. Although, I realized when I was leaving the bar that someone had opened my purse and taken my entire wallet. I was bummed because I couldn't continue partying up the night. This led me to message them on Instagram, which was great because they told me to come in and drinks would be on them for the inconvenience. We got to the bar and I spoke with the bouncer and he said to go to the bartenders, that they would direct me to Rensel the bar manager. He was absolutely lovely, provided my friends and I a round of cocktails and told us to look for Sophia for another round. We didn't end up getting another round because we were exhausted from dancing the night away. It was still very nice and accommodating that they did that and we appreciated it. Sophia was very bubbly and attentive as well. Overall, if you are looking for a bar with a disco ball!! This is a cool spot to come to, they have so many different specialty cocktails. They are all delicious and unique! The music is great, the dj really keeps the crowd moving. For parking, there is a lot in the back of the establishment or street parking as well.
