"There are people who will discourage you from eating in South Beach. But those people have never been to Macchialina. It’s the best Italian restaurant in Miami. And nothing about this place is touristy, overpriced, or exhibits any other South Beach cliches. There’s no dress code, but dinner here always feels like a big night out. The small dining room is intimate and dark, and their back patio—once a hostel filled with drunken tourists—now feels like a backyard dinner party. Come for great cocktails, perfect pasta, and a never-skip dessert menu. And then send photos of everything you ate to whoever told you there’s no good food in South Beach." - ryan pfeffer
