Call Me Gaby

Great spot in Miami with delish food and warm and fun ambience. While there’s no shortage of restaurants in Miami we keep returning here for dinner when in town. The only con is that a 20% gratuity is automatically added to your check while we prefer it was left to our discretion based on service we receive.

A chic and romantic spot in South of Fifth — perfect for those who want to escape the busy party scene. The handmade Pinsa Romana pizzas are light and delicious (try the Carla with mortadela!), cocktails are floral and creative with hints of lavender, and the Antonella Nutella dessert is pure heaven! Prices are on the higher side, but totally worth it for the quality, ambiance, and experience.

Loved this cozy italian restaurant for a casual date night. We ordered the Andrea Pizza (more like a focaccia) and a bolognese pappardelle - both fantastic! We did not order desert but everything looks incredible. We definitely will be going back to try some more plates. Highly recommended.

The food was top notch. The ravioli with veal osobuco was amazing, focaccia, meatballs and pisa were also fire and the grand finale tiger shrimp w/ pappardelle was killer. Highly recommend by Big T.

Went here for a work dinner with 20 people and the service and food were out of this world! The apps were delish. We had the burrata and the watermelon salad. Both were amazing and full of flavor. For dinner I had the margarita pizza, yum! Dessert was a mix of the nutella and flan. All courses were delish and full of favor.

We had an amazing dinner at Call Me Gaby during our Art Basel trip to Miami. The experience was amazing, the food, the atmosphere, the service was incredible. Then we experienced Celine. Celine was a runner for our table, but her energy, awareness and her joyful attitude made our experience magnificent. There are times you experience a level of service tied to a dedication to create something special for guests that transcends service and becomes something magical. That is what Celine provided for our group. The next time we return, we expect Celine to move up to server or even better, owner!! Thank you, Celine!

Call Me Gaby is an absolutely wonderful restaurant in Miami! The food is outstanding, and one of the highlights is their watermelon salad, which is simply amazing. Every table is served with authentic Italian olive oils from Frantoio Muraglia, adding an extra touch of quality and flavor. The atmosphere is chic yet welcoming, and the crowd is fantastic — I even ran into supermodel Cindy Crawford while dining there, which shows how well-frequented this place is. It’s the perfect combination of style, taste, and ambiance. Truly a must-visit in Miami! Lugar extremamente agradável, envolto por muita natureza, muitas flores e pássaros. Música boa, gente bonita e comida deliciosa!!’

Very very nice restaurant, service is 10/10, food was great only one little issue, and atmosphere was amazing. So for starters we got the cheese board which was out of this world. So many flavors in the food and all the different cheese options were amazing. Second we had the eggplant dish and holy it was so good. Third we had the watermelon salad, oh em gee you would not believe how great it was. Who would ever think cheese, pistachios, oil, & watermelon would go together. This restaurant did and they ATE with this. So for the mains we got the steak and chicken with mushrooms. So one problem here the steak was burnt with a lot salt. I wont hold this against them tho because it seemed this was an honest mistake and they offered to remake it. The service was incredible and this lady she was amazing. On top of everything and cared so much for how her customers felt. The atmosphere is so nice the plants are amazing. So overall great restaurant and would reccomend

Came here with my son and ate her for dinner during a trip to Miami. We were seated outside in this beautiful patio. Our server was from Italy and very professional with me and made a great suggestion for a drink. One drink because I was with my son . As for the food, I ordered a prosciutto pizza which was fantastic. Wood fired to perfection. My son had a cheese pizza. The inside has a small bar with an extensive wine selection. Overall was very happy with the service here and glad I came here.

Came for dinner and sat outside which was nice in the fall/winter. Would probably be uncomfortable in the summer. Ordered two apps, the meatballs and the Asian pears salad. Both were delicious. Meatballs were 3 of average size. The pears were thinly sliced and the flavors were paired excellently. Not heavy and a nice starter. Pastas we had were the cacio e pepe (pasta in a white cheesy sauce) and an order of the pappardelle all'uovo alla bolognese (pasta in a bolognese sauce)... both were delicious. Place is busy and we were lucky to get a table the day we went. I doubt that would happen again so make your plans ahead of time!!

Call Me Gaby (@callmegabymb) was a great experience from the food, to the service, to the vibe. Everyone loves sitting outside here (so it is very difficult to snag a seat, since they do not provide an option to distinguish indoor vs outdoor on your reservation), but I personally loved the upstairs dining area. It is a bit smaller than downstairs, and there are very cute balcony nooks that fit one table of 4 people- these are the best seats in the house, in my opinion! As for the food, there were 3 in my party, so we ordered 1 pinsa, 1 protein, and 1 pasta to share, and it was plenty (considering we had already ordered appetizers elsewhere ). The pear pasta was very tasty, and the pinsa came with fig jam and stracciatella cheese, which ended up being the perfect mix . The salmon was a bit overcooked for the temperature we ordered, but the flavor was good otherwise. @miamicheatdays

I had been invited for a dear friends birthday to call me Gaby. We were a big group of girls. & had read the reviews and went in hoping it would be good. Sadly it was not due to many reasons. I had been calling since the morning to ask some questions. Nobody picked up. (3 times to be exact ). I ordered the cacio y pepe. It was not good. There was too much black pepper. And I always get this dish ! The drink was okay. The overall vibe of this place is not it. It's too loud. Not ideal to have a conversation or date. The service was good. As usual though there was always an issue with the check having to be split amongst 6 cards for a big group. The prices are too much for what you are paying . There is also a 20 % tip. Parking is street parking. There was no parking and had to valet $25. The overall crowd is not really Miami local foodies, More like the south beach crowd there for the gram. I personally would not go back here again.

Should it be call me, Gabby or call me delicious? Lol because Call me Gaby literally blew me away. I honestly came in with kind of low expectations only because most restaurants in Miami tend to have lots of hype lots of excitement lots of word-of-mouth and when I go to try it, I am disappointed, but this was not the case with call me, Gaby. The menu was honestly very very full. As in there were a lot of options which you don't always see in a lot of restaurants in the South Beach area everything we had that night was delicious. My friends and I opted to just order various thing on the menu and kind of share in a family style type of manner. I did not order so I couldn't tell you what exactly we ordered. I know we ordered meatballs, we ordered dessert which was like a donut dish and a few other pasta dishes. I believe a ravioli as well, but everything was honestly delicious and I think if I were to come back, I'd probably just order the same exact thing lol, but I do look forward to coming back to try. Call me, Gabby because the service the ambience and the food was 10 out of 10 in my book.

You either love or hate the trendy South Beach restaurants near South Pointe. Parking - fortunately I was dropped off but expect to pay $25 for parking because the lots nearby are very sparse. Drinks - I ordered the Profumo cocktail, which was tasty, but slightly different than I expected based on the menu description. $20 Food - I ordered the eggplant parm appetizer and the fiocchi pasta as an entree. Around $50 for the 2, and I HIGHLY recommend ordering an app and entree just due to portion sizes. I believe that price is justified by taste and quality, but could I get an equivalent dish for less at most other Miami Italian restaurants? Yes. I spent $101 in total including tip, and honestly was still a little hungry. Service was good, not great. So, my conclusion on Call Me Gaby is that they are just another trendy overpriced restaurant whose food/service doesn't match the cost.

Nestled in South of Fifth's dining gems, Call Me Gabby adds a chic and romantic touch to Miami Beach's restaurant scene. The gorgeous outdoor dining patio is perfect for a romantic evening or a stylish gathering, offering an inviting ambiance. The first-floor lounge sets a laid-back tone, while the swanky upstairs bar and tables cater to parties of two or more, creating an intimate yet lively atmosphere. I judge a restaurant by the quality of their dirty martinis and I'm pleased to say that Call Me Gabby does not disappoint. The martinis are expertly crafted, though I did miss the blue cheese olives, which would have taken the drink to the next level--if you know, you know. The charcuterie board is a must-try, loved the presentation of hanging meats complemented by the orange jam, candied walnut halves, and olives. The warm toasted focaccia bread is another highlight, and for all you prosciutto lovers, do not miss the Angelina pizza--it's a delicious! While the food and ambiance are top-notch, the service is a bit slower than average. However, the overall experience is makes for the perfect intimate night out. Good quality food combined with an excellent vibe, makes it a must-visit spot in South of Fifth.

Great food, trendy Instagrammable decor, stellar service... what more could you ask for? I came here for dinner while on vacation in Miami in early July. I ordered the hanger steak and the risotto of the day, which was a lobster risotto that day. Both dishes were AMAZING. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the baked baby potatoes were super good too. The risotto had plenty of lobster meat, making it worth the price in my opinion. For drinks, I ordered the Spaziale. The bartender (who was also our server) was also able to make a mocktail for my friend who doesn't drink alcohol. I'd be down to come here again if I ever went back to Miami!

Great place for dinner with an awesome vibe. Enjoyed the antipasto platter but could have included more cheeses. Hangar steak was cooked to perfection and enjoyed the small potatoes. My wife had the homemade pasta and a big portion as well Nice pours on the wine list. Definitely check it out Surprised they did not have gluten free pasta.

On my pursuit of a new Italian restaurant, I ended calling on Gaby last weekend. Located right near South Pointe, it's a great spot to enjoy a bite after a day on the water, especially on their outdoor patio..or come dressed a little nicer for a dinner out. It's a few blocks away from the bustle of Ocean Drive so it has a cool exclusivity. Even on the patio, the music is more jazzy than party. Service was casually relaxed, and my server was on point with her recommendations. The way to go are their pizzas. The "Andrea" I enjoyed is a delicious & complex blend of flavors: fluffy rosemary crust, salty prosciutto, and a sweet fig jam with cool straciatella cheese. Did you try to eat it by hand and your toppings fell on the plate, and you have your crust left? No problem, since they serve a rich Sanniti balsamic vinegar. It's a perfect dipping sauce. Leave some space for their delicious pannacotta with berries. The vibe is great for sipping some vino and a great afternoon out. Giving them an extra star for the vibe..I'd certainly recommend!

I hate that I loved this place because I'm so anti-sceney joints and this was exactly that but the food was soooo excellent. We had an 8:45 res and they were nice about seating us without the entire party present. We did request outdoor seating which they couldn't accommodate but it wasn't a big deal. The vibe is lively and upscale. Music is a tad too loud for my preference. Drink menu is fun and cocktails are reasonably priced at around $19-$20. I ordered a gin martini and it was well made. Everyone in my group enjoyed their drinks. We ordered the focaccia, the eggplant app, two pizzas, and a pasta to split. Everything was delicious but the pasta (FIOCCHETTI ALLE PERE E TARTUFO) was the star. Apps are around the $20 mark and mains are around $25-40. Service was decent - nothing to write home about but relatively attentive. Overall we enjoyed the meal. Again, probably a bit more expensive than it should be but the quality holds up.

I live in MB and pass by this establishment so many times. They have a beautiful patio space and I was in the area. I don't have one particular issue with the entire experience. Is it a tourist trap? Ahh maybe.. The food is just (ok) definitely not worth the high prices they charge. They do not give you bread. They charge $7 for focaccia, which is not great. Literally around the corner you have Carbone that gives you an entire bread, basket / parmesan cheese and salami for free!!!! The cocktails $25 They automatically add the 20'% gratuity on the bill.

This is my favorite place in all of miami. I had my birthday here in the outdoor area. Such delicious food and absolutely love the truffle pinsa, amazing!

What a delightful experience! Went to Call Me Gaby for a family lunch and left satisfied. I ordered the Pappardelle dish with meat sauce and egg noodles and was taken aback by how tasteful it was. As an appetizer, I shared the Little Gem Salad. While I believe the salad was a little too expensive for what it was, I recognize that this is typical for Miami Beach so no points off there. Both the salad and the pasta dish were delicious and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I also had the opportunity to try a little bit of the Foie Gras Pizza for the first time and I was blown away! The Foie Gras was loaded onto pizza bread and was incredibly buttery and soft. If anything, I would order this next time. Overall, 10/10 experience. Thanks, Call Me Gaby!

Friendly bartender. Ate at bar. Cordial staff. Drinks fine. Salad Nicoise fresh and well presented, nice size portion. Linguine al vongole very disappointing. Would go back but be very careful about my menu choice.

This will always be one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The white wine sangria is so good, but only the daytime bartender makes it correctly so our first drink was great and the second one had way too much pineapple juice in it. The pasta and watermelon salad are the two must orders on the menu. I've tried recreating the salad before, and the best part is the crushed pistachios.

My new favorite place. Food and drinks were 10/10. The workers are so friendly and attentive. Ambiance is perfect and very cozy. I will be coming here atleast once or twice a week

Do not recommend this place for solo diners. They don't like seating people without a group or a reservation. I had to share table with 3 unknown parties. Everyone was uncomfortable. Couldn't even get out of the sofa seat. Food was mid. Paid $32 for the pizza in the picture. Charged $7 for small Coca Cola. That's a rip off. I will never go again.

Stopped in for pre dinner cocktails - gorgeous upstairs bar with modern but cozy decor, comfortable seating, and a great bartender! Highly recommend their Moscow Mule - very gingery and yummy. -- I have not eaten at the restaurant just yet, but even just stopping in at the bar is worth your time.

One of my favorites in Miami Beach. If you're not dressed for Joe's across the street, come to Call Me Gaby & get mussels! So delicious and yummy, absolutely to die for. Watermelon is refreshing on a nice summer day.

Such an amazing restaurant, I've been here a couple times with coworkers and friends. The ambience is great weather at night or during the day! We've been here in the afternoon for lunch and the food never disappoints! We order the mussels and a couple of the flatbreads with salads and wine. Honestly I would suggest coming in the afternoon for a lunch break, super cute and cozy spot!

We came back as we were in town. Ordered all the same dishes and they were great. The only critique is the Cacio e Pepe's was a little on the salty side, and my wife never got her soup, but aside from that we will still return next time.

I'm leaving a review for the location at Aventura My first time going to Call me Gaby I must say I had the most wonderful experience First off the place is so gorgeous and the food was ORGASMIC that's how good the food was And shout out to Anita she was so friendly and nice also thanks to Oscar great service Y'all need to check it out it's amazing Thank you Neve Storm

What an amazing restaurant in south beach! Started off with the watermelon salad and a flatbread. The watermelon salad was out of this world! For the main dish I tried a unique pear pasta, never had this combo before but I must say that the flavors complimented each other perfectly. All the cocktails we tried were also very well balanced. Will definitely be coming back when in the area!

Nice cozy atmosphere with really good food. Came with a group of friends and had such a great experience here. The food overall was pretty good. We did go pretty late, 10:15 reservation so they were out of the branzino, had to select something else. The portions are very filling and the drinks were tasty!

Perfect date night spot. The vibe here is romantic and unique, think historic Tuscan/Italian village but in South Beach... a gem. Get the focaccia bread, it's absolutely incredible and paired with the meatballs we're talking dream team. Oh and the gnocchi was fabulous, very rich.

This place is a great Italian spot on South Beach. I'm not always sold on South Beach overpriced restaurants with below sub par food, but this spot is legit. The service was great, the atmosphere was great. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful the December weather in South Florida. The CACIO E PEPE has to be the BEST in this town. I would definitely go back.

Food 3.5/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 3.5/4 We came in for the weekend, and our friends suggested this restaurant. The atmosphere seemed like ,it was better outside. Inside it was too loud. We sat in the middle of the restaurant right off to the side of the main entrance inside. So it felt a little crowded and going to run into someone. The service was good our waitress was sweet and attentive. We started out with the charcuterie board and it was good, fresh and seemed like local meats and you could tell the bread was homemade. Now as for the entrees, they were good but the short ribs ravioli didn't have a lot of meat filling and the mushrooms overpowered the taste of the dish. The bolognese was good, rich tasting but was little bit too greasy. Overall wasn't bad would come here again to try other things especially the pizza.

One of the best restaurants in miami, certainly for pizza wine and and bunch of Italian plates to choose from. Cozy indoor and outdoor seating with pillows, fire warmers outdoor when it's chilly. Service is Michelin star. The vibe is perfect, relaxed Ambience. This south of fifth treasure must be protected forever at all costs.

The pasta entree with pear and other amazing flavors was to die for! Highly recommend getting it if you go here! Vibes are pretty cool as well with the stringed lights - feels like you're in Italy!! Great spot and great service!

What a delicious and delightful place. Great cappuccinos. Loved the burrata with aged balsamic vinegar. The strozzapretti is absolutely divine - al dente pasta with sweet fried zucchini and a nice creamy salty sauce. The risotto was just ok.

Call me Gaby is one of our FAVORITE restaurants in Miami. The atmosphere is so inviting and cozy while maintaining an elegant dinner vibe. The service is always very good. Our favorite way to eat here is to get a few appetizers and a pizza. The pizza is amazing, with many options to choose from. Recently we had one with fresh rosemary on it that truly changed the way we use rosemary in our household! The mussels and meatball appetizers are some of our favorites. We also love their drink selection! All very good. If one thing could be worked on, I would say the entrees don't match the level of the appetizers and pizzas, but are still good.

Probably one of the most beautiful places to eat because I felt like I was in Italy. Dialvo - Crispy undercarriage, robust tomato sauce, fluffy crust and salami. Personally I like pepperonis more than calabrese salami but this pizza was very good. It's a bit on the smaller side for the price but there was a generous amount of toppings. It was high quality and tasted very fresh. Broccoli soup - a less exaggerated version of Panera broccoli soup , less salty but big broccoli flavor. Personally I like this more because I don't feel like I'm eating a sodium bomb. Great soup

Food was great but the place is a giant rip off. The food is overpriced and they charge a 20% service fee and tax you 8% after the service. So not only are you forced to pay 20% but they tax you on the service charge 1% higher than they are supposed to.

My friends and I had reservations on a lovely night and opted to sit outside in their beautiful patio. Because it was already a windy night, the fans they had mounted on nearby poles were not needed but good to know they are there. Everything was cutely decorated with lots of covered songs played in the background. Drinks included Rosso di Sera, Spaziala, and Miss Gabby and all were great depending on what you are looking for. We shared a gem salad, nicoise salad, mussels and a suggested order of foccaccia to soak up the broth. The gem salad was light and represented a traditional salad while the nicoise salad was more pungent with tuna, red onionis, and string beans. I loved the mussels as well as their presentation in the mini pot. For the focaccio, I had higher hopes that it was going to be thicker and more chewy for the broth. Entrees shared included the Rita pizza, Veal Milanese, bucatini bolognese, and Fettuccine Aragosta. The pizza was the ideal dough I was hoping for with lots of prosciutto, cheese, and truffle oil on top, yum! The veal was massive having to be at least a foot long. It had a beautiful crust with a fresh arugula and tomato salad. The bucatini was fun to eat as it reminded me of Chef Boyardee's Beefaroni but tasted so much better. The fettuccine was more simply season with a little cheese allowing the lobster to shine. Overall, I had a wonderful experience! The food was great, service was top knotch, and portions were more generous than other establishments. I would love to come again!

Call me Gaby is a fun Miami Beach spot! The restaurant in decorated beautifully (inside and out), with a lovely patio outside. Highly recommend the Bucatini Cacio Pepe, one of the best pastas I have ever tasted. The salad was very fresh, and the Parma pizza was delicious with prosciutto, arugula, and Parmesan. The delicious food combined with a gorgeous atmosphere makes choosing this restaurant a no brainer for an evening dinner!

I enjoyed our evening so much from the appetizers to the unbelievable entrées. Everything was extremely fresh flavorful and truly enjoyable evening we started with the raviolis that were crazy. They were so good then we had a salad with fresh tomatoes and a Barada cheese. The service was excellent. The staff was very knowledgeable about the food and gave some really great suggestions, yeah ambience is cute but the one thing I have to tell you that I enjoyed the most is there wine list one of the best wine list I've seen in a long time which was enjoyable. They have cocktails that are high-end. The evening was a joy I had the Pomodoro pasta For dinner it was delicious I highly recommend this restaurant and for South Beach. The prices were very in line. I feel like we got true value for our money till next time bon appétit

Perfect for a night out when the weather is nice. The patio seating is romantic and vibrant with strung lights, foliage and nicely arranged seating. It is quiet enough to enjoy your dining companion(s) but with a lively, upscale vibe. Jazz or house music is piped through the speakers. Service is excellent. We had a very attentive server, bussers and others on top of our table. The wine list has nice, affordable bottles. For me the caramelized pear pasta is a reason to come in and of itself. Add the veal Milanese and a salad, and you have a great meal to share.

Call me Gaby, Call me Beautiful This is a gem of an Italian spot in Miami beach, with an adorable & romantic vibe. Whether you are seated indoor or outdoor, you will love the setting especially in the evening with the sea garden breeze, lovely people around and delicious Italian food. We tried the Spinach goat cheese salad first which had tasty little flowers of goat cheese fried for crunch and blended nicely with fresh dressed Spinach & pistachios. For mains, we had a classic pizza margherita & an experimental pizza Carla with spinach, pesto, pistachios & loaded mortadella. Each bite tasted great & the crust was perfect! It was my birthday & so they even brought a little Tiramisu cup with candles which was special:) If you're looking for a cute pizza spot in Miami, look no further than Call me Gaby.

I always love coming to Call Me Gaby. I got the usual and the wife got the Bolognese. The food came out very hot and fresh and is as perfect as I remember. The inside was cold even though it was a hot day and the music was at a great medium level. Waiter was attentive and professional.

Call me Gaby is my number one favorite Italian restaurant in miami. Service and food is always excellent! Love the outside ambiance!

Great food, beautiful outdoor seating. Delicious pasta and pizzas . Wish they had gluten free. Fabulous piece of fish!

Dinner Review: Don't be alarmed, this place is on the pricier side. However, this is what you can expect: Great theme/ambiance, Super Friendly Staff, delicious food. I ordered the following: Watermelon Salad (Super Refreshing) Little Gem Bolognese (Must have) Fettuccine Veal Ravioli- Ravioli of the day Andrea (Must have) Molten Chocolate (hits the inner sweet tooth in me) Overall, would dine here next time I'm in town.

UPDATE: have been back multiple times ever since my first time and i still love it each time. Unfortunately, they have removed the short rib ravioli off the menu:(((( but that's ok, they still have a lot of other delicious options. Another one being the "Gaby Pinsa" i believe: The combo of the sweet sauce with the foie gras is so yummy. Bread is crispy and doughy at the same time. Perfect texture. Also, the meatballs are really delicious. When i brought my date here, he had the cacio e Pepe and it was rlly creamy and nicely seasoned. Noodles in both cacio e pepe and bolognese pasta were homemade and fresh. The bolognese is one of my favorites and I get it every time i come here (Excuse my misspelling if there is any lol). Still, my favorite Italian restaurant. Going there for Mother's Day today and i could not be more excited to enjoy the ambiance and the food!! SERVER LOUIS OR LEWIS IS THE BEST!! Great attitude and very attentive. Love coming back just to talk over the food and catch up every once in a while. Manager and server louis were also very accommodating when my date and i had a problem with our reservation. Great place:)

10/10 worth every penny and second of wait. The service was absolutely amazing, he explained the menu and gave us some great recommendations. The ambiance is literally like a Instagram reel. It doesn't feel real. Feels as though you are at a road side deli in Italy truly.

We didn't plan to come here, but saw the place and decided to check it out. Right at the door I felt like we should probably go to Abbalé or Joe's Crab Shack or whatever else. The hostess was rude, super snotty, with attitude like I have never seen before in Miami or NYC. Truly, the manager was very friendly and down to earth. What makes her so superficial? Her plastic face? Anyways, she wouldn't accommodate us, so the manager did try to make it a better experience for us. Overall it was good. Our waiter, Alyona, was helpful. I did order my salmon well done and it came medium. But it was fixed. Will I come back? Not sure. The place looks cute inside and outside. But who would want to go to the place that is not welcoming right at the door

Fabulous find! Ate here twice as the menu was wonderful. Dinner then lunch. I'd eat there again because the first dinner was wonderful, lunch was fabulous and still menu items I want to try. Don't miss Call Me Gabby.

Was there a few years ago. Went back last night. Service was non attentive - surly. And the food - meh. I had branzino in parchment paper and it was good - nothing fabulous. A bit bland. Burrata and tomato salad - same. For the hype and price expect really ripe and tasty tomatoes. Nice atmosphere. Great location. Expensive prices. Mediocre food. Folks do your self a favor and go north of "South of Fifth" for a better experience.

Very beautiful and inviting place. Excellent for small groups who are looking for good food and service. Our experience was wonderful and Melinda and everyone else taking care of the table were very pleasant and professional. We will definitely return. Parking is not do easy around so Ride-sharing or Valet are best to get there.
