“ Today I had an amazing lunch break not only because of the delicious food but excellent service. Walked in a few minutes before 12 and had the place all to myself for a short period of time. Regardless I can tell the service here is top notch because the owner is most attentive and friendly. I didn't really have a dish in mind like most times and that worked out for the best because the dish I had was a special of the day so let's talk about it.... There were three options including a salmon dish but the chicken stuffed with chorizo and mozzarella got my attention right away. Before this I had the choice of portobello cream or Caesar salad and I opted for the salad with basket of toasted bread. Now as for the main dish, this was so delicious that I had to ask if it was a daily fixed menu but chef said the daily specials were chef inspired even though she could make it for me per request. Anyway this chicken with chorizo and melted mozzarella was to die for. The chicken meat was not tough at all but could be cut with a fork and that says a lot. Now as for the pasta or spaghetti I wish I could tell you what was in it but what I could tell you is that it had depth and was amazing. So good that I could eat a whole plate of the pasta without a protein, yes that good and that's why I devoured this dish, like a savage. Now I did kinda wanted to try the Tiramisu since I'm a big fan of it but they didn't have any and that too worked in my favor.....why? Well I got to try the Flan, my goodness....this has got to be one of the best Flans in Miami. I can't even describe it but iust make room for dessert and order this, trust. In conclusion, this was one of those unexpectedly amazing lunch spots. Have to come back for other dishes and that Tiramisu. ”
“ Just had the best filet and pasta will definitely be back the owner is super nice very attentive everything was so delicious ”
“ I rarely write reviews, but this restaurant truly caught my attention. That day, I was in need of a good meal, and I happened to find this place. My lunch was perfect—I ordered the filet tenderloin, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The portion was generous, and the flavor was outstanding. I was warmly welcomed by the owner, Vladimir. Since I was traveling alone, he and his wife, Carolina made me nice and friendly company. It was a memorable experience. Thank you again! I definitely recommend this restaurant with tasty food cooked with love and dedication! The wine cart is great there too. ”
“ This is a beautiful restaurant with amazing service and people. The family have owned the restaurant for 25 years, and the food is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a nice little Ma and Pa Restaurant. ”
“ Thoroughly impressed by the food here, I had their lunch special, which includes a soup, a main course, and a dessert for only 19, and it was worth every cent. To top it off, their service is wonderful, they’re very nice people. I’ll definitely be coming back! ”
“ Great food. Super friendly. Loved meeting the owners, Vlad and Carolina. Fresh, homemade Italian. Simple menu done well. Plus, breakfast m-f and lunch specials during the week. We will be back! ”
“ Fantastic food and wonderful service, everything we had was delicious and the staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Very charming place, I highly recommend dining here. ”
“ Excellent service! The owner is also the chef and also the waiter. So it feels very personal and intimate. I love the location and outside sitting area. Very quaint and relaxing. It’s like a real taste of Italy. I had the bruschetta and salmon with some Pinot Grigio. And he did not skimp out on the sauce for my alfredo. Salmon cooked to perfection! You won’t be disappointed. ”
