Three times may not be the charm after all.. Great location and for the most part friendly service, and very generous portions. I had my first experience mother's day last year and by 6pm they had run out of most of their seafood menu items and we do not eat meat so my mother was dissapointed. The second time we sat outside; the service was lacking, the bread was hard and the waiter did not bother to come and check on us enough to let him know before we got our meal(wait time is not long once you order), and the last time the bread was cold and when we asked for it to be heated we got back half of our basket burned...like giving us a new batch of bread after burning ours was going to break their bank..not satisfied, i don't think we'll be going back.

Despite High Pricing, A $7 Sharing Fee Added Don't Agree. Top notch corner miracle mile location with a newly remodeled building. Food portions are large which is very UNCOMMON with Gables restaurants. Excellent tasing food, i did not find the service good or bad but in between. The sharing fee is a MAJOR drawback since there pricing is already HIGH. My favorite Gables restaurant for excellent italian food, service & pricing is Villagio in the Merrick Park Mall, though I would return and recommend Randazzo.

Don't plan for large parties. I am terribly disappointed with the service, or better said, lack of service. I called the restaurant for 2 days in a row to make a reservation for a large party on a Saturday evening. After waiting for two days for the individuals I spoke with to send me emails on the details or a call back, I called again and was told if I could move my dinner to a different day because it would be difficult to accomodate such a large party on a Saturday evening.

Anacapri Restaurant just a few blocks away is just as good and much more accomodating and gracious. If you would like to have a dinner with a large party, don't go to Randazzo's.

best meatballs ever!. If you drive past this resturant on Le Jeune Road and blink you might miss it. the service was great and extremely quick. the food was awesome, and I'm the last person to want to try a new italian resturant.

it's worth the parking hassle for those who don't live or work in walking distance.

and the italian waiters are a bunch of hotties.

Love it. I haven't actually been to the new location so maybe the small venue---big demand has been addressed. Although the ambiance was awesome in the old locale so I can't even complain about the cons. I love that it has a story behind it...the ex-boxer bringing his family style Italian to those lucky few of us in Coral Gables area. Here's my disclaimer, I am not a big Italian food fan but I'm married to one. And eating at Randazzos is not a compromise...its great no matter what and everyone we take there raves about it, including Italians. Favs...Randazzos salad...the meatballs...warning they are huge. Penne pasta w. meatball and sausage...no choice is a bad choice.

Randazzo's is HOME!. My boyfriend loves italian food. I was searching on the web for a fab italian restaurant for my boyfriend's surprize birthday. I found Randazzo's and I am so glad I did.. This place was amazing.. I had a little surprize bday party planned for him with some close friends and family and Randazzo's waiters were all into it.. The food was amazing.. It reminded me of Little Italy from home in NY. It was cozy and small but very family oriented. Did I say the food was Amazing?? My boyfriend ordered the meatballs and was raving about them all the way home. I had the raviolis and couldn't finish them up, they were soooooo good.. My daughter had the chicken parm and mom had the salomon and both dishes were yummy. The portions were huge enough to feed an Army and the appetizers were enoromus! The calamari and the mozzarella to die for.. I sneaked in a cake of my favorite bakery for my boyfriend and the waiters surprized my hunny with the cake and sang Happy Birthday for him. It was definitely an eventful time. The highlight of the evening was meeting the famous boxer, owner, cook himself. We complimented on the food and told him we loved it here and he was very humble, gracious and an awesome guy.. We will definitely be returning real soon.

My God your plates are huge. Great place, Great food.. Went here with my wife to be last week, had a great time. Great atmosphere, wine list is good, excellent service you have to try the salad, wow. Food is amazing, real Italian American like, you will never find this stuff anywhere else in Miami. WoW the size of the plates, was that all for me or did you confuse my order with Bobby Baccalieri's? Amazing place, go there you wont regret it.
