Perfect

by AH206 at Citysearch

This is without question one of the best restaurants in Miami and definitely the best Italian. The food is amazing, the menu is full of light Italian, the whole thing isn't carbs and oil. The food is very fresh and refreshing (The salads are all fantastic and the tuna is to die for.). The service makes you feel like family and the ambience is charming and romantic. Overall it is just a perfect dining experience.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Cost is moderately high, but very worth it

excellent Italian

an excellent restaurant, a little off the path. We had mussels, escargot, pounded veal, tuna, white clams sauce pasta, profiteroles and zabiyone. The only weak thing, and only a tiny bit, was the zabiyone. Great service, never over board. Not excessively loud, and it was packed.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: a little expensive

Excellent food

The dining room felt a little dated and smelled a bit musty when we came in. It was dark and formal without (to my taste) seeming very elegant, which isn't the best combination. The ladies room, by the way, was a surprising change in that it was bright and apparently newly (and rather adorably) decorated.

The service and the food, however, were both impeccable. True, we were there on a quiet Tuesday night and the restuarant was only half full, but we received prompt, attentive service from everyone. And the food was absolutely delicious -- the orrechiette bolgnese with caramelized onions was out of this world! It seems that pasta is what this place does best, so go when you are looking for a carb fix (you can start with the hot rolls they serve when you sit down).

• Pros: delicious food, attentive service
• Cons: Decor/ambience

In one word: AWFUL

by pab5555 at Citysearch

If you like noise to the point that your head will split, small portions of food with commensurate high prices ($2.50 for a REFILL of coke?), then this is the place for you! I have NEVER been so horribly uncomfortable at any restaurant EVER. It was so loud that we couldn't talk to the person sitting next to us without virtually screaming. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. NEVER AGAIN.

• Pros: Nothing!
• Cons: , small portions, high prices

Too much to expect

by amv01 at Citysearch

It was first time and I had to wait longer than the regulars. I was eating on a small table next to the bar and the people waiting were practically talking next to me. I didn't enjoy the place at all.

• Pros: Food great
• Cons: Crowded, Better attention
