Anacapri Italian Restaurant, Market and Wine Bar

Anacapri Italian Restaurant is a true delight! Their pizza is delicious with a perfect crust, and the penne pasta is cooked just right—full of flavor and satisfying. The calamari is crispy and fresh, a great starter to the meal. What really stood out was the awesome service; the staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommend!

Be Careful-Unfair Trade Practice Actually, it's not all about the food. Please read this patiently; it's a very important review. They have a market next to the restaurant. We were buying olive oil from that market; they have three options in different qualities: $20, $25, and $30 for 1 liter (100cl). I am adding a photo of the bottles, so please refer to that as well. They're advertising, "Bring your bottle for a refill." We had two 100cl bottles, and when one was finished, we refilled it using the other one. Today, when we brought our 100cl bottle for refilling, they wanted it back to give us a new bottle (we thought it was kind). However, the lady opened the bottle filled and packed by herself; we paid $30 for 1 liter (100cl)—that is also in the photos. When we came home and put the new bottle next to the old one, we noticed that the new one is narrower, smaller, and has a lower volume. When we checked the volume, it was 92cl—8cl means 80ml lower than the previous bottle. In another way of saying it, they are selling 92cl of olive oil for $30; actually, the liter's new price is $32.60. In other words, they are committing fraud regarding the amount they sell. This is an obvious "Unfair Trade Practice." More importantly, when we went back to discuss this with both bottles, the receipt says $30 for 1 liter. The manager confronted my wife and shouted, treating us as if we were the ones who were wrong. When we showed both bottles and the different volumes being sold for the same price, he couldn't say anything more and tried to offer a replacement instead of refilling our bottle. He thought we did not understand Italian and used slang terms. He said Americans wouldn't understand this, questioning why we were being so sensitive, and rudely asked if we were French. They offered a 17ml replacement in a plastic sauce cup and tried to send us back. Everything is documented in photos. Please refer to that. Long story short, they changed the bottles from 100cl/71mm diameter to 92cl/58mm diameter, but they are still selling them at the same price: $30 for 1 liter. This is more than just unfair trade; it's a legal issue, and we have already begun reporting it. We just wanted to make our community aware of this.

This place have a special Italian food with a lot quality wine!!! The service is excellent and the Owner is really hospitable and friendly.I tried burrata, carciofi, burrata, spaghetti and a piece of meet really tender....

I’ve been here a few times. The food is always great. The service is so-so. Today I went for a lunch with friends. The waiter was kind of a mess. He couldn’t get our orders right, kept forgetting things. Didn’t offer cream with the coffee. Didn’t offer dessert or coffee after our meals. Didn’t come by to refill waters. Got our orders mixed up. We had to repeat everything several times. I’m not sure if he was just having a bad day, or what… The food was great though. We had calamari, a chicken Cesar salad, a AnaCapri salad, a salmon on arugula salad, the rigatoni, and a seafood pasta dish. Our bills were reasonable. I had a chicken Cesar, a coffee, and a glass of wine and my bill was $32. I would go again, but hopefully I’ll have a different waiter next time.

I ordered lasagna, which was lukewarm to the point that the cheese didn't melt. I hate eating cold food. My husband ordered seafood pasta. The pasta wasn't cooked enough, not even reaching al dente. The tomato sauce didn't really have the consistency of a sauce, it was just very watery. The worst part was the stale, stale bread. The service wasn't the best, and they weren't rude, nor did we feel committed to solving the problems. A very bad experience.

I have to say I have not had authentic Italian cuisine in a very long time. The food was incredible and the service was also spectacular. One of my favorite Parts is that you can go around the restaurant and pick your own wine and bring it to your table.

This is the best FAMILY Italian Restaurant!! The best Food!! The best Family atmosphere!! They will make / modify your meal as the best of their abilities. Our family has been coming here for more than 15 years and continue to eat here regularly. We HIGHLY recommend. !! You won’t be disappointed!

Omg everything here is good It's intimate and located in a plaza. Perfect for a date or family night. Order everything that looks appealing because I'm sure it's fabulous. Service was excellent and all of our meals were delish. We started off with the complimentary bread rolls which were nice and warm. We shared a cesar salad that was refreshing. Then each meal came out that we already knew the portion was good enough to save some for the next day. I had a pasta with shrimp in a spicy red sauce that was absolutely divine. Dad had a fish with veggie in a white wine sauce that was so tasty and my mom had the eggplant parmesan. It was ridiculous the food. We enjoyed every over stuffed bite. And of course we had to end the evening with the perfect cannoli.

Came for a wine tasting on Wednesday and I'm hesitant to event post this review because I selfishly don't want to spoil it and make this place even more crowded on wine tasting days. The wine tasting experience is great...at the beginning when it's empty and you can freely move and enjoy wine without being bumped or spilled on (happened to my boyfriend) but if you do, the staff will quickly assist and spray protectant on your clothes to forgo staining. After the wine tasting we had made reservations for dinner, we ate and it was good. We started with the crab cake and sausage and meatball plates. The crab cakes tasted like corn. They could use some more crab in the cake but it tasted fine. For the sausage and meatballs, the meatball part was amazing, so good! As well as the sauce but sausages had way too much sage and were not that good they also came with mushrooms mixed in. I was okay with them but my boyfriend did not like them. For our meal we shared a carbonara. They split it for us already which was so nice. The pasta was al dente and the sauce tasted fresh. The noodles were hollow, not bad but different. At the end, it was delicious. Overall, 10/10 recommend. The pricing is reasonable, the staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. We will def be back.

Delicious as always. Friendly climate Staff learns your name and remembers what you like Fresh tasting And great prices on wine!!

We really had a great first time experience at Anacapri. What a beautiful ambience and great service from all of the staff. I would highly recommend getting a reservation if you anticipate eating at the restaurant. My pictures are not the best but we got stuffed mushrooms that were a great start to the meal. Eggplant parmigiana which all of us loved so much, it was flavorful and so cheesy. My daughter had noodles in their famous pink sauce, she devoured them. I got a steak special, the steak cut like butter, very yummy. And my husband had a chicken Marsala, the only feedback we had was the Marsala comes with a side of noodles in marinara, that felt like an odd combination. There is an attached marketplace with some of their signature dishes available in the freeers. We purchased 2 frozen eggplant parmigiana, a container of pink sauce, and a package of noodles from the shelf. We cooked the eggplant parm per the instructions on the container and it was just as delicious and fresh as the dish we had in the restaurant. Absolutely a new local favorite for us!

The best food and service. I feel like a member of the family. 100%%%%%% Neptune Salad. This guy Pete below need love or sex. lol

I've frequented Anacapri since high school (5+ years ago now) my typical order is the lobster ravioli but the Snapper Della Casa came with heavy recommendations. This dish was both filling and delicious and I also recommend! Please order if questioning

Always excellent and friendly service! The food and wine is amazing- and we especially love their happy hour.

Amazing food. Amazing service. This is the best kept secret in Miami. Wine lovers come and indulge because you won't find a better place in the city. Simply the best there is!! Ask for Andy. He treats everyone like family.

Today we had the pleasure of dining at Anacapri Italian Restaurant in Miami, and I must say it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The restaurant's warm and inviting ambiance, coupled with the exceptional service, made for a memorable evening. Upon entering Anacapri, we were greeted with a genuine smile and promptly seated. The attentive staff made sure we felt welcome and catered to our needs throughout the evening. The atmosphere exuded a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort, setting the stage for an incredible culinary experience. Now, onto the highlight of the evening: the food. Anacapri's menu boasted an array of tantalizing Italian dishes, each prepared with utmost care and attention to detail. From the moment we took our first bites, we knew we were in for something extraordinary. The flavors danced on our palates, showcasing the culinary prowess of the talented chefs. To complement the outstanding cuisine, we decided to bring along a bottle of the remarkable 2018 Sassicaia Bolgheri. Anacapri graciously allowed us to enjoy our own wine selection for a $25.00 table fee, enhancing the overall experience. The combination of the restaurant's delectable dishes with the rich, velvety notes of the Sassicaia created a harmonious symphony of flavors that delighted our taste buds. I must commend the knowledgeable sommelier, who not only provided excellent recommendations for food and wine pairings but also displayed a deep understanding of the Sassicaia Bolgheri, enhancing our appreciation of the wine even further. The impeccable service extended beyond the cuisine and wine. The staff members were attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our needs were promptly met. Their professionalism and genuine passion for hospitality elevated our dining experience to new heights. In summary, Anacapri Italian Restaurant in Miami surpassed our expectations in every aspect. From the elegant ambiance to the exceptional service and, most importantly, the delectable cuisine, it was an evening to remember. If you're looking for a remarkable dining experience that marries exquisite Italian flavors with impeccable service, I highly recommend Anacapri. Don't forget to bring along a bottle of your favorite wine to enhance the experience even further.

Disclaimer: Make a reservation in advance! This is the best Italian restaurant in Miami. It's owned by true Italians soo the food taste just like you're in Italy. We started off with a bruschetta but we're too hungry and forgot to take a picture. It was perfect for an appetizer, and it was the perfect amount. They also bring you some warm bread with butter to start with and it's such a nice way to start the meal off. We each ordered a glass of wine and both were delicious. For our entree with had the penne arrabbiata which was spicy but tolerable. We also ordered the fiocchi which is filled with pear and has a creamy Parmesan sauce, it is a balance of sweet and salty. My favorite pasta EVER. The service is amazing, we sat outside and they came to check in on us multiple times to see if we needed anything else or a refill. It was a great experience. They also have a market next to the restaurant where you can buy Italian desserts, wine, pasta to make at home, etc. There is also a location in Miami Lakes, that is also very good.

A quiet little spot in the Pinecrest area that did not disappoint. The menu features all the classic Italian favorites and have a great selection for their weekday lunchtime deal which includes salad or soup, entree and dessert at a good price. Went for the Chicken Marsala (not a lunch special item) which is generously served with two chicken breasts, pasta side and a salad. For dessert, tiramisu. Tutto molto bene!

Never had a bad meal here in 20 years. Love anacapri for the attention to detail on the dishes, service and the owner Joe is worth his weight in gold. Penne arrabbiata with lobster is a must as is the burrata. Great wine selection.

Favorite neighborhood gem! Great service awesome food and the best ambiance always!!!

Anacapri has excellent appetizers and entres. We love the carbonara. Good selection of wines.

Definitely a more romantic space for date night with yummy food and fantastic choice of wine!

We have always loved this restaurant, but we went yesterday for lunch and were completely disappointed. We went to celebrate my mother in laws heavenly birthday, so we were looking for a relaxing lunch. For starters I pointed at a bottled wine on the menu that was priced at $50 and the server brought us the wine we order, but different vintage priced at $90. We brought it to his attention once we realized and referenced the wine list. Server didn't even apologize basically was like you're drinking a better wine, so we ended up paying for a more expensive wine. Lastly, the cheesecake we ordered for our daughter had mold on it. I'm hoping she didn't digest any prior to us realizing it. No manager came by to apologize or even bother to check in on us.

Second time here, Saturday night I recommend semi sweet wine Sangue Di Giufa, really good! Food is the best! Amazing service Live music with a guitar man creating very nice ambiance

Our party of four enjoyed our experience. We had reservations, which you can make online through Open Table, and we were seated right away. Service was excellent. The shrimp cocktail was fresh with colossal size shrimp. Beef carpaccio was very good too. Very thinly sliced beef with arugula and large shavings of Parmesan cheese. Entrees were hot and were generous in size. We took half the lasagna home. Also tried the pasta bundles with pear and four cheeses (Fiocchi). Loved it. The Gorgonzola cream sauce was silky and mild. Mmm. We skipped dessert but did have cappuccino. The rock candy stirrer was fun and a nice touch.

AnaCapri has been around for many years. Reservations are recommended, They serve great Italian food and you won't be disappointed ! Good service, Great Food, , Friendly environment . Oh, did I say great Food ?

The restaurant itself is in a good location in Pinecrest. We visited today for a lunch the service was speedy and our server was kind and very attentive even offering to put the dessert in the to go container for us. When we arrived there was no other table in the area we were but later a couple tables arrived the ambiance was chatty just hearing people talk. We had the lobster ravioli as well as the tortellini bolognese which both come with a salad. The salad was just lettuce with olive oil and vinegar dressing nothing special and we didn't really like it too much just because it was plain. As for the meals the tortellini were a bit too al dente making them be on the tougher side. The sauce it was cooked in was drowning the food and it was just too greasy it had a good taste to it though just wish it had less oil. Overall it was an okay plate the cheese didn't have that cheese taste. As for the ravioli that sauce was better and the ravioli were cooked a little too soft. The lobster in the ravioli was good and it was real since it had actual pieces of shell in it which was not enjoyable to remove. As for tiramisu we each took a couple bites but it was not good. The cream was pretty tasteless having a sort of whipped cream taste to it the bottom layers didn't have that coffee taste to them. It just looked nice but the taste was not there. Overall was initially excited to try this place but based on this experience wouldn't return back or recommend.

Best Italian food in Miami. Service is always spectacular and their wine selection is terrific. Highly recommend.

The Lasagna was one of the best ever!! The wine selection was also impressively large and amazing

Very good food and a great service. We plan on returning. The fiocci was delicious! Thank you Craig for bringing us back to the restaurant! We love it!

The best Italian in south miami. They treat you like family. The food is always in point and their wine bar and selection is fabulous.

First time at this restaurant. Overall good food, nice ambient and warm people. Will come back for sure

Went here with a large group of ladies on a weekday night. The servers were great and the bottle service here is the best. The food presentation is impeccable however, the taste was mediocre. I ordered the chicken parm, it was good but I've had better. Not sure if it where our table was located, but a lot of us felt like we smelt like a kitchen, specifically oil, when we left. Overall, food is okay, wine and service is great.

For years the food has been wonderful & the people are the best. BUT know that if you go through Yelp to order Takeout it's through Grubhub ( tiny print ). There is no on line ordering for Take out. Call Anä Capri directly & the ordering goes well.

Love this place! The food is always always always stellar - never disappoints. Love the environment and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Great selection of wines and we always leave with food for later. Local favorite

The food is really good. A bit pricy but fresh and consistently good. Good for date night and also the wine Wednesdays.

I have to revise my rating from the previous review. Last visit service was not satisfactory due mainly to the lack of attention from our waiter. He stopped at nearby tables but would only come to ours if called for. We were sitting in the front corner and maybe he could not see us... Food was not bad but felt without flavor maybe because of the lack of attention. We left our contact information in the receipt but have not heard from the management. Do not know if we will return.

Great food! All dishes were flavor packed with spices that led you to wanting more and more. Delicious. Thank you!

Overall experience at this restaurant was "OK" i would not come here again since personally the food wasn't as tasty as it could be. For starters the quantity of ravioli was a joke i was expecting them at least to be filled with more lobster since they only came with 5 pieces. i also had bits of lobster shell inside the ravioli that caught me by surprise. The house salad wasn't to my liking it wasn't terrible but if it weren't included in the meal i wouldn't have ordered it. To finish off the food the tiramisu was very underwhelming the taste of the whip cream on top was just bland, the sponge at the bottom had barely any taste. The service i can't say was bad we immediately got seated and we're offered refreshments & bread, but the overall ambiance of the restaurant feels very outdated and small; seems like once it's more packed it could feel very packed and loud. Overall i wouldn't say it's terrible but it's not great either.

We tried this place for the first time.... so it's a Saturday night, and the place was packed (we didn't have a Reservation), so the Hostess suggested we could sit at the Bar so we did. Bartender/Server was nice but lacking. We ordered an appetizer--a Caprese salad. We asked for extra plates... they never arrived. We ordered Lasagna and a Spaghetti Carbonara... both good. We asked for more bread... never arrived. The Bartender kept disappearing and leaving us/the Bar unattended. Quite Unacceptable. Not sure we will be returning!

This place does not look like much when you walk in but wow. It is so cool inside especially if you get the main table by the wine cooler. It was such a neat experience I forgot to take a picture of everything! The pastas were absolutely incredible. The spicy pasta was my personal fave. I also love that you can select a bottle of wine from almost anywhere and open it right then and there to have with your meal. Such a unique experience and great place for friends or even date night. Will for sure come back. Only wish is they had better bread and dessert options.

This is a gem of a restaurant located in Pinecrest. I have no words to describe how great the food and service was. The ambiance was perfect, there was live music playing and it felt very cozy. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.

This could have been an easy 5 star, but the son's owner could have had more manners treating customers. Every thing else was amazing!

Our appetizers and main courses were fantastic. Excellent bolognese and wine selection.

Really enjoy the wine selection here. The food is good and a great family feel when you're there.

The exterior of the place is unassuming but aside from that the moment you step in your experience begins. There Resturant is subtly divided into three general areas: a shop for Italian pasta, cheeses, meats and pastries; a bar with hundreds of choices of wines lining the walls with a beautiful back room seating area in the heart of a cellar; and the dinning room which is spacious and cozy at the same time. The owner and his staff are excellent and more excellent. Attentive and personable. Finally, and the most important, the food is great. The rigatoni is delicious and makes you want to order seconds. The salmon is a close second. And we'll, okay even more important, is the huge wine selection. This is a great place for a casual drink or dinner. We also had a birthday party here for 25+ and it was fantastic. Add this place to your go to list for dinning for sure. And did I mention the wine...

I love it here! My friend brought me here and wow I can't believe I have not been here before. For one, the bottles are priced at retail. That is AMAZING! The bar area is a great wine vibe , with the bottles on the wall and it was Friday night with a musician performing. We waited a bit at the bar and then we were sat in the dining area. Our server Clinton was great. He was nice, very attentive and professional. I ordered the tortellini and the penne vodka pasta. We also ordered the burrata and the fried calamari. Everything was delicious! Especially the tortellini , sooooo good. I can't wait to come back !

We have been to this restaurant on and off for the last 20 years, pretty much since they opened, as a couple or with our family. The last few times we have been there for dinner have not been great. The food is less than good and the service leaves quite a bit to desire. Yesterday night I was served a warmish chicken with a pasta, sent it back to the kitchen to get cooked with the hope it will come back tastier. Wrong; left it on the table without touching it again. Nor the Maître D' or the waiter ever asked if there was a problem with the food, at the end they offered a box to take it away, still without asking what the problem was, why didn't I eat it. Probably afraid I would send it back or not want to pay for it. Which is what I should have done. Sorry to see that both the food and service are going slowly and steadily down the drain.

We love the food. However, during our last visit, The food took over an hour to be served. When we complained the manager seemed dismissive. This manager knows us, we have been coming here for years. You would think he would be a little more sympathetic. Won't be going back anytime soon.

Great food, cold beer, huge wine selection. The dining area was full which made it a little louder that I expected but not a deal breaker. The pasta fagioli was excellent and came out quickly, the crab cake was on point. Desserts were also very good. Sorry, no photos this time around.

Love love love Anacapri. I have been to both the location near doral as well as the pinecrest location and they are both amazing at what they do. The pear pasta is so tasty and not overwhelming in price at all. The prosciutto pasta is def my fav and a must try! They don't skim on ingredients at all and the portions are large. There take away is great too!

Anacapri is a solid 4, maybe 4.5 stars. Nice atmosphere, great menu and reasonably priced. I'd prefer a full bar but beer and whine (intentional) is fine. House salad is very basic but ok. Our 4 entrees were all very good. Never had octopus carpaccio and never would have but fellow diner shared a bit and it was very good. Chicken or veal Francaise, excellent. $136 plus tip for 4. Not bad!

The definition of a hole-in-the-wall. The service is so special and they want to make sure you feel at home. The food is to die for. Absolutely nothing compares to it. I absolutely love the mussels as an appetizer and the bucatini carbonara as my main dish. But don't think it just ends there!! I always end every meal with a cappuccino and a cannoli.

Warm inviting restaurant. Social distancing and masks. Food is good but not great for the prices. Risotto Porcini Marsala was tasty but presentation could have been better in a deeper dish and served nicer and Pollo Francese was in way too much sauce and chicken cut too thick. Ricotta cheesecake was fresh and moist.

I used to like this place. But last couple of times, we had a very bad customer experiences. How can we enjoy the food when we are treated with rude and unprofessional attitude. Hope they realize that.

Excelente comida, excelente servicio, definitivamente un restaurante donde se puede ir y no cansarse de sus delicious platos de cocina.

Overrated. Went there recently. Had to wait a long time for a table, service was slow and food was just okay.
