We ordered: -the daily supplì -house salad -mafalde -rigatoni alla genovese -rigatoni alla carbonara -caserecce al pesto -tiramisu -affogato w/ vanilla gelato All of it was absolutely divine. The pasta was perfection - tender and light. The sauces were rich in taste, yet also light. The restaurant is small, but intimate and worth the wait. The staff were attentive and everything was well timed. I felt transported to Italy, and I can't wait to return for my pasta fix.

We had a great time here, enjoying multiple pasta dishes and a really excellent tuna tartar. The owner was incredibly attentive, managing her small space very well, giving us good wine recommendations, and guiding her staff. They moved tables around to fit us in--a feat they couldn't manage for every guest on a busy Sunday night. It looked like a reservation was almost a must for a party larger than two, mainly because they are just space limited. Would 100% return, and we were very happy to support this small business.

I've been watching the Sopranos non-stop since April of this year, and on a long binge day all I…read morewant is a huge comfort plate of Italian food. Queue my cravings last week for chicken parm. While I have never been to il Bambino, my good friend goes weekly and raves about this solid neighborhood spot. I can see why! My delivery chicken parm was absolutely huge. I was able to make three meals out of this serving for just $25. I opted for a side of spaghetti with red sauce, but was told the power move is to get it with pink sauce. Noted for next time, which there definitely will be since I loved this meal. This spot has been open since 1989, similar to another local landmark (Tropical Chinese and Sushi Ko) in the same plaza. I love to see a plaza with three spots that have been open since I was born, serving food the community continues to love decades later.

Il Bambino is a true neighborhood gem.

For dessert, the limoncello cheesecake is incredible: creamy, refreshing, and the perfect ending to the meal. We dine here regularly and what always elevates the experience is our waitress, Dayana. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her recommendations are always spot-on, and she always makes us feel taken care of without ever rushing us. Service like hers is what makes us want to come back all the time.

It looks like it has been here for years but it is clean and the seating is comfortable. As soon as you enter they always greet you and seat you right away and a server will come to your table to give menus and take drink orders and will always be available. They always have specials posted on a chalkboard. They have a very full menu with a lot of choices. Their portions are big and the food is fresh and the prices are very reasonable with friendly and quick service. Sometimes this place can get very busy and Parking can be a challenge but most of the time it's easy to get in and out. This is a great local place to come with family and friends. The noise level is perfect, it is great for conversations. I would definitely recommend this place.

The restaurant felt really homey and welcoming, and our waiter was amazing--friendly, attentive, and made the night even better. The service was spot-on from start to finish, and the food was flawless. Every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. There wasn't a single miss at the table. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was great for a birthday dinner--lively but still relaxed enough to enjoy the night. Everything came together for a really memorable evening. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back.

Secreto recently moved from right across the street from where I used to live to a new location in…read moreSouth Miami, so of course I had to check it out. The space is definitely an upgrade and beautifully decorated, much more spacious, and it gives off cozy date night vibes. The menu hasn't changed much, but they did have a few specials of the day of which we tried. We tried the croqettes (a special of the day), and it was very tasty. Pear pasta is always my go to when it's offered on the menu and while I remembered this particular dish being slightly better before, I think it might've worked better with a white sauce instead of the pink they used this time. Overall though, the service was amazing per usual, and the new location feels like the perfect spot to enjoy classic Italian comfort food in a more elevated setting.

Perfect for a date night or a nice dinner without feeling over the top. The food was excellent across the board. Everything we ordered was full of flavor and clearly made with care. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together -- you can tell there's real attention coming out of the kitchen. Service was great too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without hovering. We never had to flag anyone down, and everything came out at a really good pace. Drinks were solid, atmosphere was on point, and overall it was just a really enjoyable night out. South Miami has a lot of good spots, but Secreto definitely stands out. Would 100% come back and recommend it without hesitation.

My family has also had the pleasure of being served by Steven, and now they specifically ask for him whenever they come in as well. If you're visiting, I highly recommend asking for Steven. You won't be disappointed!

Their burrata pizza good but felt the crust needed to be a bit thicker for the amount of arugula on it. Mushroom pizza was the better of both, worth a reorder, lots of mushrooms and yummy cheese. Finally, the white pizza was more of a thin cracker with cheese, but still good flavor. We also ordered a Greek salad, and it was decent just missing the tangy punch of flavor from the dressing. Everything tasted fresh, staff was friendly and helpful. Place looks small from the outside but plenty of room for large parties inside. All in all, if I'm ever nearby I'll pop in for a slice.
