Italian cuisine at their best! Located in the heart of coral gables Easy parking, easy to find Great ambiance and dedicated service Perfect for a dinner date. Their wine carte is impressive and our head waitress was knowledgeable Their pastes is fresh and good quality to combine with fresh ingredients I tried the salmon and my date the pasta with Jeff tenderloin, both dishes impeccably presented and great taste Charcuterie as appetizer And a Negroni to finish this dinner Excellent experience Valet parking is the easier option but also nearby parking garage and street spaces are available read more

We had 5:30 reservations at Zucca for Mother's Day and were seated promptly by a very kind hostess. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. We weren't greeted by a server for at least 15 minutes. Eventually our waiter came over with water, but he seemed rushed and uninterested from the start. Another 15 minutes passed before he took our drink order, and we ended up ordering everything at once because he was so quick to leave the table. No recommendations, no check-ins, and anytime we needed something we had to flag him down ourselves. As for the food, the Fiori Di Zucca Ripieni Di Caprino E Miele Al Tartufo were absolutely divine, easily one of the highlights of the night. The octopus was disappointing, chewy and lacking flavor. The pumpkin ravioli was just okay and I wish the sauce had been creamier. The Linguine Alle Vongole was very good, probably our favorite pasta besides the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe with truffles, which was hands down the best dish we ordered. The mushroom tagliatelle wasn't what we expected at all, the sauce was much thinner and waterier than anticipated. We ended up skipping dessert solely because the service left such a bad impression. Overall, while a few dishes stood out, the experience as a whole didn't feel worth returning for. read more

Went for late lunch on saturday, with my family & honestly this place was way too empty for the food and service that we recieved. We started off with the Beef carpaccio w/ black truffle and the tuna crudo (essentially carpaccio). I'm not a big fan of seafood and the tuna was honestly the freshest yummiest one i've tried so far. I try the carpaccio everywhere i go (it's my fave) and this is def. up there. For mains I got the steak (w/out foie gras not a fan and like a $18 up charge) and it was honestly pretty perfect no notes, it was served on a bed of braised potato and leeks delicious. my brother got the special seafood risotto, the risotto was delicious but it was a bit too oily for his taste, wish it served more seafood (it was calamari etc.). my dad got the dorado which is cut for you table side which was just alr but it came w plenty of vegetables. The star of the show for me was the pumpkin ravioli, paired w the steak was delicious. For dessert, the tiramisu was a little sweet, and the pistachio gelato was delicious. Overall, a lovely late lunch, attentive service, only gets a deduction because the decor was a little outdated, the interior is def not insta worthy but the exterior is beautiful. Thanks! read more

We love this place and we had a great time here. The valet parking was a convenient touch, and the staff were professional and genuinely welcoming from the moment we arrived. Our waiter, Axel, treated us like royalty -- attentive, warm, and truly exceptional. The wine list is impressive and extensive, though we opted for cocktails this visit. My dish, the salt-crusted Branzino, was absolutely to die for -- perfectly prepared and full of flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation. read more

This place has been on my list since i moved to coral gables! its tucked on the bottom of a hotel. The decor is bright, light and cozy. I ordered the artichoke salad and the tagliatele al funghi misti. Before the food came, they gabe you some delicious pieces of focaccia with oil. The salad was refreshing and light. The vinagarette on top of the arugula, artichoke and parmesan slices was very flavorful. The pasta is the reason you come. The al dente pasta was made in a buttery mushroom sauce. The caviar on top was the perfect addition. I just have to say the service was very slow. I waited a long time after the salad to get the main course. I would still return to try their crudo. The day i came it was octopus and i was hoping for the tuna crudo. read more

Exceptional Italian Dining Zucca at the historic Hotel St. Michel is a beautiful, elegant spot in Coral Gables. The ambiance is warm, refined, and filled with natural light from its large street-facing windows. I had a fresh house-made pasta with mixed mushrooms, parmesan, and black truffle absolutely delicious. The vitel tonnato was incredibly fresh and well-balanced, and my companion's cinghiale pasta (the pasta of the day) was outstanding. Service was truly impeccable, and the crowd is elegant and mostly 40+, which adds to the sophisticated atmosphere. A perfect place for a date, a business dinner, or a special night out. Highly recommended. read more

Had the opportunity to dine at Zucca and it did not disappoint. My favorite of the evening was the Truffle goat cheese zucchini blossom. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 10 out of 10! My Gnocchi were great and the fish special of the day was also good. The service and attentive staff made the evening better. We saw the table side salted fish service for a large group near us and it looked amazing! The dimly lit restaurant is definitely romantic. read more

I went here with friends for a late lunch. We had the most amazing waiter, he was very informative, accompanying to our large group. I started with the Lemoncello spritz and he offered some prosciutto since there was no fresh bread for me, gluten free. For my entree I ordered the Mediterranean Sea Bass. I wanted potatoes but he explained that it was already premixed, so he suggested a salad. My meal was delicious and the space was beautiful to enjoy with friends. read more

I've had Zucca bookmarked for a while and glad I finally made it here. It's local in the iconic St. Michel Hotel which is a sight in itself. Zucca is an upscale Italian restaurant. The food was really good and the service was attentive. Foods I tried: - fried goat cheese with honey - tuna carpaccio - Branzino - Gnocchi - Philodough with cream and Nutella I rarely ever drink but paired it with an Aperol Spritz since I found it fitting ("when in Rome") It's not really a super lively place it's more of a calm date night restaurant with dimmed lights. It does get full so get a reservation! read more

Zucca continues to hold onto quality. We showed up for lunch and were immediately accommodated by the server. The quality of the food was superb. We enjoyed all of our dishes, which were well-balanced and flavorful. We started with the tartare di vitello and the crudo di pesce, both excellent, although we preferred the crudo. For entree, we had the tortellini al tartufo and the mezzi rigatoni, each delicious. For dessert, we enjoyed the torta di formaggio, which was also great. We paired our dinner with a sauvignon blanc and the limoncello e menta spritz. Overall, Zucca is always a great idea, and we will return. Food 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Service 5/5 read more

I came here for lunch with a friend to try the Miami Spice deal. I hadn't been here in decades- since it was just the Saint Michelle restaurant where my husband proposed to me. It wasn't too busy when we arrived and I was able to park right across the street in front of the restaurant. It was just a few dollars to park on the street. There's also a parking garage across the street. The restaurant is still beautiful and beautifully decorated. The ambiance is very relaxing. We were sat next to their huge walk-in wine cooler. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. He had several other people helping him out. There was always someone ready to take our plates, or refill our drinks. I ordered the Ruby Rosé Spritz. It was delicious and very refreshing. My friend ordered an iced tea. She didn't like it. So she also ordered a Spritz. For appetizers we both ordered the burrata salad. It was delicious. Very unique with sweet peaches, crunchy cabbage, and a elderflower dressing. For our main entree we both ordered the red snapper. I loved mine and ate every bite! My friend said hers was a little fatty and tough, so she didn't really like hers so much. It came with a little grape tomato salad on the side. I actually liked the salad more than the fish. It was really tasty! For our desserts I ordered the Pecorino cheese with honey. My friend ordered the passion fruit cheesecake. The passion fruit cheesecake was delicious! It's too bad we were so full from the rest of our meal. The cheesecake was light, fluffy and not too sweet. The passion fruit syrup around it was the perfect tartness and sweetness. It had a few crunchy seeds in the syrup that added a pleasant touch. Definitely one of the best desserts I've ever had. Altogether our lunches were about $60-$65 each which included a 20%. I'd definitely return. It's a great place for couples. Very romantic. I'm glad they have the Miami Spice deal because it really encourages me to get out and try new places, or places I haven't been to in a long while. read more

If you're looking for a solid lunch or happy hour spot in Coral Gables, Zucca is it. Their lunch menu is outstanding, and their happy hour is just as impressive with great drink specials and a delicious bites menu. The focaccia with ricotta cheese dip is addictive, and the meatballs for $4 are hands down one of the best deals around. Everything I've tried has been fantastic--highly recommend! read more

Food and service was fine. My heartburn is with the bill that showed up at the end. In case you're not aware, which I wasn't, there's an "18% service charge" added to the bill for back of house. The wait staff doesn't get any of that line item and is expecting to be tipped on the bill with 18% in it.... I also got my car damaged by the Valet...... this wonderful experience on Mother's Day.... read more

Always love coming to this spot for either lunchtime or after work early dinner. My definite go to is usually the pasta, any of those choices have always tasted great to me. This time I got the charcuterie board and you're able to select your own meats and cheeses as preference. You can also either order a full board or half size board, which is a great idea for portion control or sharing. The margarita is also a great choice for a drink and they have a great wine selection. This place never disappoints, fun fact they participate in Miami spice months recommend as well. read more

This is an elegant Italian restaurant located inside the renovated St Michael hotel in Coral Gables. The building is very pretty and historical. Inside, the restaurant the decor is classic and timeless. The service was impeccable. I tried their Miami spice lunch - APPETIZER - Tempura Prawn served over a black lentil salad, with burrata cream and crispy "Guanciale". This was a wonderful start to my meal. The huge prawn was very fresh, and the tempura batter was very light and crisp. MAIN - Sliced beef tenderloins with crispy polenta, parmigiano fondue and a black truffle sauce. Another marvelous dish, I especially adored their sauce. DESSERT - Homemade Italian Limoncello Tiramisu. To finish I tried their twist on a tiramisu, which was very light and a lemon flavour. All in all, this was a delightful visit, and I recommend. read more

I have had Zucca on my list for years now and finally got to try it and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious and authentic it was. They serve Northern Italian inspired dishes and the food and service was top notch. The crowd was a bit older, which I didn't mind as that usually indicates that the food is good For starters, we got the anitpasto platter and chose prosciutto and sopressata for our meats and parmesan cheese. The meats were very delicious and thinly sliced and we really enjoyed the bread and focaccia that they served with it. For our main course my husband got the truffle pasta, which our waiter said was one of their most popular dishes. He enjoyed it, but did say it was a little salty. For my dish, I chose the pumpkin ravioli and it was so so so yummy! I did not leave one bite on the plate, I was so full but it was the perfect balance of savory and sweet. It gave me all the fall vibes, although it is summer! We were too full for dessert but I definitely want to go back to try the Tiramisu. read more

As I came out of the dentist, I decided to eat lunch at the Gables. I checked Miami Spice and found Zucca a few blocks away. Since I knew the quality and ambiance of this restaurant, I decided to have lunch. It was a great experience beginning with fabulous service. My server Axel was very authentic and his demeanor fit the place like a ring to a finger. I chose the Veal Tartare, followed by the Red Snapper. Both were delicious. I was sad for the sea asparagus garnishing the Red Snapper was not available - I was told - and several halves of cherry yellow and blue tomatoes were abundant on the plate- resting for the appearance and enjoyment. Nevertheless, the veloute sauce was amazing! Then I loved the passion fruit cheesecake. In summary, the experience was fantastic, and definitely this is a jewel of a restaurant for which I forgive the missing sea asparagus. ;) read more

Upscale Italian atmosphere. White rose and a candle on the table. Servers in white shirts and black ties. Very attentive staff. (They never kept us waiting. They never let our water glasses get empty--and with my water consumption habits, that's nearly unheard of. Two employees held the doors open for us as we exited.) Prices weren't low, but weren't as high as they might have been. Food was quite good. The ribeye did not disappoint. The black lentil salad with beets was delectable, as was the ricotta cheesecake with berries. The linguine with clams wasn't my favorite, but I think that says more about me than it. read more

I definitely recommend Zucca ! The whole staff was so accommodating, friendly & attentive! I just discovered they are open for brunch/ lunch, so we went this Sunday for an afternoon brunch date .They greeted us with a Bellini/ Prosecco bar cart. We started with the Fried zucchini flowers stuffed with goat cheese sprinkled with truffle honey , because, how can you not ?! These are a "must order "! My hubby had his eye on the Eggs Benedict w prosciutto asparagus e " parmigiano fonduta and it did not disappoint! I went for the floating French toast with crème angleise & mixed berries. It was so delicious! We are definitely coming back for a dinner date soon and I will order the Nutella French toast for dessert! Add Zucca to your list for brunch or lunch, too, not just a delicious dinner place. read more

Where do I even start: it was all fantastic The brunch prix fixe is a great way to try a bit if everything. After trying an assortment of shareables, I went for the Branzino which did not disappoint. Plated beautifully over a colorful bed of veggies, it's healthy but certainly not boring. The service, of course, was good. Now I can say zucchini flowers are my new favorite thing: goat cheese, truffle honey...it was heavenly Tutto buono, tutto bello...voglio tornare presto! read more

This is my go to Italian place in the Gables! I never disappointed. The food, service, and ambiance is excellent.

1/2/2026 Excellent food and ambiance. Unfortunately, our server Katerina was not as professional as the first time we visited the restaurant. She did not ask us how was our meals through out the time we were at the restaurant. Also, she did not asked us for the dessert choice. Throughout the night we received the service from the back server. Nor she asked how was our experience. A restaurant visit is an all-around experience and the secret for success is in the details. No coat/jacket hangers available either. Ciao Zucca read more

This is a good find. We saw their Yelp reviews and decided to have our Thanksgiving meal here. For Thanksgiving they have both a price fixed and an Ala care menu.

My husband took our son and I to Zucca for my birthday. We are visiting from out of Country. Service was excellent besides the constant attempt to upsell. Cocktails were fantastic, pricey but worth it. One of the reasons we went, is they offered wild caught salmon on the online menu. Once we got to the restaurant, the actual menu just showed salmon, which when we asked was farmed, not wild caught. So I had the chicken, my son the lamb, and my husband the veal chop. The food was okay but not outstanding in the least. Combining this with a very drunk, loud, foul mouthed woman sitting at the bar, the ambience and general experience was less than desired. The website also said there was a dress code, yet another bar dweller was in a tank top and construction boots. We'll spend $600 elsewhere next time. Do not recommend. read more
