We made Thanksgiving reservations here weeks in advance. We chose Zucca because they have a prix fixe thanksgiving menu & an ala carte menu. Turkey isn't our favorite, there are other meals here that would be more special. There was valet parking in front, a restaurant is on the first floor of the St Michel Hotel. Love the live moss on the walls. Beautiful restaurant with impeccable service. We started with stuffed zucchini blossoms, they were fabulous. I loved my pachinko with lobster & cherry tomatoes. My husband's lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The pecan pie with ice cream was the perfect ending. 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. On the ala carte menu turkey was optional. The stuffed zucchini blossoms appetizers were real good! My wife's pachinko with lobster & cherry tomatoes as well as my lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The pecan pie with ice cream was a wow. 5 star service in a 5 star atmosphere. We would definitely go back. read more

It was a special occasion for a birthday, and they treated us like royalty. The waiter was fantastic and his attention to us was remarkable.

Came with family while visiting Miami. I got the Pico Punch and it was delicious. Tasted like juice! The food was delicious and high quality - would def recommend to anyone visiting. Ambiance wise - great date spot. Very uppity up in terms of fanciness. They do have a casual chic dress code. Our waiter was nice but took a a rly long time to come take our order. Someone else had to come take it. read more

The service was great here. The Miami spice cocktail menu spritz's are a little watery tasting but strong, the lemon one was the best in flavor. The carpaccio was the best I've ever had but it needed some more mustard sauce, some pieces had none. The carrot and ginger soup was heavenly. The palline di patate was delicious but a small portion compared to Luca Osteria. The bistecca di lombatello was more of a salad with two small bites of steak and no dressing or sauce (wouldn't order again). But the bucatini lamb ragu was delicious and awesome. The vanilla gelato was the best we've ever had. The tiramisu was great too. Limoncello shots for dessert was the icing on the cake. read more

A great Italian spot located in the heart of Coral Gables. The atmosphere is elegant and the staff was beyond helpful/attentive. I was able to try their gnocchi and their espresso martini which both were incredible. The amount of food for each entree was not as much as I liked for the price but overall still a great restaurant for all the Italian lovers out there. read more

My boyfriend and I came to Zucca for our anniversary, looking for a nice restaurant that wasn't just an "Instagram spot" but somewhere with genuine atmosphere and real, quality cuisine--and Zucca delivered. From the start, the service was incredibly attentive. We were given two complimentary thick bread loaves with olive oil and hummus dipping sauces--both fresh and delicious. The bread was so good, our waiter even brought out more without us asking! For dinner, we had the Cacio e Pepe and the Sedanini Al Sugo Di Filetto Di Angus. Both dishes were beautifully prepared, arrived quickly, and tasted amazing--rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. We ended the night with the Panna Cotta Di Zafferano E Frutti Della Passione, which was light and creamy. The only minor critique is that the marmalade topping was a bit overpowering--I personally would've enjoyed it more without it, but it's still a fantastic dessert overall. This is a true 5/5 experience. Great service, amazing food, and a genuinely warm atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality Italian dining experience that isn't just hype. read more

WOW! This restaurant is a MUST if you're in the area or looking for the perfect date night. The dish I ordered "Tagliatelle Ai Funghi Misti Con Fonduta Di Parmigiano E Caviale Al Tartufo Nero" is the best funghi pasta i have ever had. My boyfriend ordered the "Sedanini Al Sugo Di Filetto Di Angus" not as good as my own dish BUT we'd still give it a 4/5 stars. Great service and very nice ambiance. read more

Went to try the new Summer menu. It comes with a choice of appetizer, main and dessert or coffee. This time tried the tortellini and steak which was really tasteful and the presentation was impeccable. I have to say it is enough to share if you feel like. Had a pairing of white wine which went really well. The service was very attentive and fast, no rush to take you out of the place but rather efficiently served. A lunch will not take 2 hrs unless you want it. Worth to try the other summer menu options read more

This year's Valentine's Day dinner was at Zucca and all I can say is wow! Everything was so amazing from the service to the appetizers and the entrees. The musts: Carpaccio (delicious), burrata, Tagliatelle Ai Funghi Misti Con Fonduta Di Parmigiano E Caviale Al Tartufo Nero, and Ricotta Cheesecake Ai Frutti Di Bosco Would probably pass next time: lamb (it was tiny for the price) At the end of our meal we were brought limoncello which was sweet and was definitely the final touch to our wonderful dinner experience!

I personally do not like going to fancy restaurants because it's hard now a days in Miami to find a good restaurant with high end service. I was surprised. The service, attention to detail, the quality of the food was absolutely outstanding. This restaurant is right under the St Michels Hotel in the Gables. If you are in the Gables and want the best food experience ever, go. read more

Zucca (@zuccamiami) has been on my list for a while, and it did not disappoint! From the zucchini flowers to the branzino, I was pleasantly surprised with the flavors that came in these dishes . The zucchini was stuffed with cheese (which is always a plus! ) and the branzino was served with fregola (what I want all branzino to be accompanied with moving forward ). Oh, and there were plenty of options on the wine list Add me on @miamicheatdays for more recommendations! read more

This is a perfect place for a date night! I went with my boyfriend, and we had a great experience. The place is so nice, and even though the waitress was great, the host was a little bit rude at the beginning, but nothing biggie... The pastas were incredibly good, and the tiramisu was chef's kiss too. I didn't like the Vitello Tonnato because the flavor was too strong. I would recommend you to do a little bit of research on the menu before going because I was LOST! Lol. We ordered: Filet Mignon Pasta Tagliatelle Ai Funghi Misti Con Fonduta Di Parmigiano E Caviale Al Tartufo Nero Vitello Tonnato Tiramisu read more

We have been frequent guests at this restaurant and have always appreciated both the food and the service. Unfortunately, during our last visit for Miami Spice, the experience fell short of the standard we've come to expect. I ordered the pasta described as "mezzi rigatoni with crispy guanciale and Italian sausage," since crispy guanciale is one of my favorite ingredients. However, when the dish arrived, it only had sausage. I mentioned it to one of the servers, who did not know what guanciale was and asked another server for help. That second server then insisted that the sausage was actually crispy guanciale, which it clearly was not. Later, when our main waiter checked on us, I explained again. He kindly tried to explain to me what guanciale was, but I told him I was already familiar with it. His final answer was that they only use guanciale "to make the sauce." This was disappointing because the description on the menu was misleading, and the involvement of three different servers still did not resolve the issue. To maintain the impeccable level of service we have always valued here, servers should be able to present each dish and its components, so they can immediately notice when a key ingredient is missing. Otherwise, "crispy guanciale" should be removed from the menu description. read more

It pains me to give this restaurant three stars because the service and starters are impeccable, but unfortunately the entrees just don't deliver - especially for the price point. I'll start with the great: I've sat at the bar multiple times, and service is always friendly and helpful. The wine selection is outstanding and the last time I was there, I was even served a complimentary limoncello shot. And the starters are wonderful - delicious cheese, amazing meats and soft bread with great toppings. Where it disappoints is the pasta. I've had two different pasta dishes here, and each one just really didn't pass muster. Though they weren't inedible, I expect a $30 pasta dish to be heavenly and make me want to order it again and again. My last time at Zucca, I had a Sedanini that was by all accounts meh. So if you do choose to come here, I recommend sticking with wine, meat and cheese and enjoying those items as well as the nice atmosphere. read more

A long, long time ago this place used to be a nice French restaurant, and after a few reincarnation, Zucca continues to serve delicious meals to Miamians. Overall, the food is quite delicious, nothing exceptional. Service is a bit slow but hey this is a slow food place. Our only complain is that for one of the dishes, the waiter put the plate down and told us that one of the ingredients was not available and a substitution was made. My friend was disappointed as she ordered the dish for that missing ingredient, and were he given a choice, would have picked another dish instead. Not to mention, with so many dietary restriction and preferences nowadays, it's curious how they just went ahead with the switch without checking first. read more

I've been here before for business lunches and it's good. I went for dinner last weekend and the ambiance was really nice. You definitely need a reservation on a Friday night. The service was good and attentive. I had the gnnochi and it was very cheesy. I recommend. The ocutupus was too chewy for my taste but good. It's a good date night spot. Dessert was a chocolate cake type with pistacho ice cream. The pistachio ice cream reminded me of the one from Italy. Overall good place to go. read more

This cozy little gem has become one of our favorite spots in the city. The pasta is consistently delicious--fresh, comforting, and full of rich, balanced flavors--and the wine list is thoughtfully curated with great pairings for every dish. The quiet, relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal place to either start the night with an intimate dinner or wind down with a glass of wine and great food. It's the kind of spot that feels like a hidden retreat, perfect for conversation, connection, and always a satisfying meal. A true favorite we love coming back to. read more

Quick summary: Pretty good food but not my fav Italian place, kinda pricey for what it's worth. Service was great and I like the small restaurant feel, almost like a private dinner with about 3 tables in a room. Some of the food was a little too oily (gnocchi) or watery (burrata) and lacked presentation (zucchini flowers) but there were other dishes that stood out and I absolutely loved (orrechhiete) (tiramisu). read more

Im posting this again on all the websites to warn people. Its awful! Party of 1 at the bar. 3/1/25. So disappointing because I wanted to like this place. My boss, who has lived in the gables for 50 years said I'd like it since I spend 9 weeks a year in Tuscany and was missing pasta. I've lived in the neighborhood a few years so decided to give it a try. Big mistake. Maybe this was just an off night food wise? Not sure what the excuse is for service. Not that it was horrible, just could've used managerial observation and interaction given a guest didn't like nor touch their food and was still given a $200 check. The positives first: Lovely, cozy interior. People seemed pleasant Nice energy Nice location(not too crowded tucked away on Ponce) Unfortunate negatives: Zucchini flowers were decent enough. I was starving so I ate 2 before asking for it to go and ready for the main dish. Ufff, the sedanini pasta was inedible. It was barely al dente; just warmed up. When he sat down the plate I thought, why is he serving me plain pasta? Upon my first and only bite, I discovered it was just a horrible dish. No way a chef sent that out to a customer. If so, id be curious to know the reason. I can delve into that later. Anyway, the dish had maybe 6 tiny pieces of meat, looked like pieces of pancetta or roughly the size of bacon bits. So I told the bartender I didn't like it one bite in and he took it away. That's it. No question why or offering something else. Not quite fine dining service. So I reluctantly ordered dessert because I was still starving. I ordered a Black Forest chocolate cake. Omg, this is the kicker! It's hilarious. It comes out and it's literally like 2 thin slices of what looks from one of those grocery store bought cake dessert logs, like a pinwheel. I stared at it and he quickly removed it and ran back to kitchen. Somewhere around 10mins go by. Thinking he may have realized the dissatisfaction of a customer not eating their food, he'd return with a beautiful slice of cake. Hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahah NOPE! What I received was a ground up, yes I said ground up, like how a piece of cake would like like after a toddler got their hands on it. It was a mess of whatever chocolate cake-like ingredient they had. I really wish I had taken pictures but I was just so amused by the absurdity of how bad it all was. It's really sad though because it seems like a nice place. I'm hoping it was just a bad night but I don't see how there's any excuse for the food I received. read more

Zucca is one of those beautiful restaurants, that have food that is just as good. Truly a beautiful spot in a centric coral gables location, Zucca is an upscale Italian spot that serves some of the best pasta dishes I have ever had in Miami. Not to mention the service and the ambiance is top tier. You can tell they really put their customers first, and it shows in the service . They have delicious appetizers , one of my favorites is the fried zucchini flowers. The pasta dishes are all amazing but if I had to recommend one it would be the tagliatelle with mushrooms- the textures and flavors are to die for. The special of the night was a short rib ragu with red wine, it was amazing - comparable to what I've tried in Italy. You also must try their tiramisu, it's wonderful. They have great cocktails as well - one with mezcal and passion fruit I tried was delicious , and even my friends who didn't like mezcal enjoyed it. This place is one of my favorites in Miami, and I highly recommend coming by. It perfect for date night, family dinner, or business . read more

The restaurant interior is divine, about a year ago I ate at POC American Fusion Buffet which is across the street and this place caught my eye. The interior is intimate with a "New-York" upscale dining experience. We started with the charcuterie board and zucchini flowers, both exquisite. The zucchini was creamy and the charcuterie sample had lots of options. The focaccia was light and fluffy which came with an olive spread. My main course was the Tagliatelle ai funghi misti con fonduta which was savory but not too salty and very creamy. All the dishes were extremely decadent with large portions. The desserts were the only disappointment, the Black Forrest Cake wasn't as rich as I thought and had an artificial cherry flavoring. The sorbets were slightly sour as well. The waiters were attentive and came by every 15 minutes to wipe down the tables. Definitely a good Italian experience if you're in the area and not worried about staying in budget. read more

I was very impressed with this restaurant. The fried zucchini with goat cheese appetizer was to die for! We had the truffle pasta with mushrooms and the pasta with clams and both were delicious.

I will definitely be back! read more

Such a beautiful restaurant! The lighting, the set up, the architecture! We were greeted so politely and the food presentation was spectacular! We had some white wine to start with the bread they served. We got several appetizers and they were all absolutely delicious! We had to ask for extra bread twice because it tasted so good. We ended up getting 2 pasta dishes and they were huge and filling. We couldn't decide on just one dessert so we ended up getting both and devoured both completely! Absolutely recommend this place! read more

I can never get tired of pasta. The tagliatelle with mixed wild mushroom, "parmigiano fonduta" and black truffle caviar was so creamy and delicious.
