Casa Mariano

We had a great experience here. The food had a delicious taste, like the ossobuco croquettes and the Braised Short ribs. The staff is very attentive, always on the spot and checking us up. The ambiance is tasteful and charming. Highly recommended for a special occasion.

Fantastic experience here! I went for an employee lunch and we had amazing food, service and atmosphere. If you like fancy food, fantastic service and a beautiful space stop by! The had oxtail croquetas, humus with octopus, salad, gnocchi, steak, salmon and so much more! Will go back again!

So happy we stopped at Casa Mariano’s for dinner…what a great find! The decor and layout were upscale, but comfortable. I hate when restaurants have uncomfortable seating & wobbly tables. Not Casa Mariano’s! The staff were professional & efficient, but still very friendly & helpful. Our server guided us through the menu & we were not disappointed. Even the basics, bread service with the most amazing tomato pesto, were bursting with flavors. The Provençal Shrimp were a big hit with the remaining sauce being saved to eat with the main course side of rice. The cilantro pesto served with the Grilled Avocado Salad was my favorite. For our mains we couldn’t go wrong with the Lamb Chops and Chicken Roulade. Everything was so good, my compliments to the kitchen. But wait…you can’t forget dessert! The Goat Cheese Flan hit the spot. Unique and not too sweet, just right.

Casa Mariano is a true gem for those seeking an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant's décor is warm and inviting, with beautifully arranged tables and comfortable chairs that make it a pleasure to settle in and enjoy a meal. The atmosphere is both elegant and cozy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. The food is simply outstanding. Each dish is crafted with great attention to detail, delivering bold flavors and exquisite presentation. I highly recommend the sweetbreads with caviar, an indulgent and perfectly balanced dish. Another standout is the osso buco ravioli, which combines rich, tender meat with delicate pasta for a truly delightful bite. Beyond the delicious cuisine, the service is top-notch. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and dedicated to making every guest feel special. Their professionalism and warmth enhance the overall experience, making Casa Mariano a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food, wonderful ambiance,

This was a great experience as someone new to Doral. My Team and I had a blast. Aside from the food, the service really shine. Staff was pleasant, always making sure we were okay and offering their insights into certain dishes to try if we were unsure. I would definitely come again with my Team!

The service and the place were great. Mariano had an ugly look on his face; he was going after all his staff. I couldn’t hear what he said, but it was like a bad Gordon Ramsey episode. The food was too creative. Sometimes just the right ingredients go a long way.

I had the most amazing experience- I enjoyed their Butterfly Branzino. The owner visited my table and paired the perfect wine to enhance the flavor! It was a great meal

One of the few restaurants where the noise of the cutlery is not heard, the excellent service offers you a dried tomato pesto and feta with warm bread rolls to start. We ordered dates, very good. Entrees ribs and snapper even better, and tiramisu for dessert. All excellent and quiet.

We've been meaning to check out this place for a while. Seemed very cozy from the outside. Cute string lights with both inside and outdoor seating. Modern and intimate interior design. Great for a date night or any type of event. They have a large family room that can be used for hosting birthday parties. Food- we were very pleased by everything we ate. The beef carpaccio was very fresh and flavorful. You can ask for the olive oil on the side like I did in case you don't like it too oily. Our main courses, the ravioli and duck breast were also very delicious. The ravioli came with a cream sauce that appeared perfectly with the semi sweet, shredded beef that filled the ravioli. The duck breast was cooked perfectly, not over seasoned, and came paired with what appear to be a pan fried risotto, which to my surprise was really good. Overall, we enjoyed every item. For drinks, I had a glass of Paso Robles and my partner had a sangria. The sangria is not on the menu, but you can ask them to make it for you. They do not make cocktails or have hard liquor. I've posted the wine menu! Hope this review helps :)

Wow wow wow!!!! 10/10 every single meal we had was mouth watering. The lamb chopa, the milanesa, the meat balls everything was chef kiss The wine was really good had to get two bottles Great family birthday dinner experience Our server also gave us great service!

We had planned a wonderful evening, we were two couples getting together after a long hiatus, the restaurant was beautiful, menu looked great what could go wrong? Our friends had been here previously and highly recommended the place. And with an almost 5 star review it was perfect. When I arrived I was surprised it was in a one story commercial building, which proves that when a restaurant is great people find it. The servers were so nice and helpful with the order. We ordered the osso buco croquettes, shared the goat cheese salad, osso buco ravioli that was amazing, pumpkin ravioli that was delicious. Strip steak was ordered well done and was tender and juicy and their famous lasagna. Caesar salad. So what went wrong? We had in the adjacent table, a family with kids out of control. Yes I know kids are kids but these were making so much noise and disruptive we really couldn't have a conversation. My friend was getting a headache. Frankly I thought they were friends of the owners because even after we made a couple of complaints and the manager spoke to that table, they made no real efforts to contain their kids. Coincidentally another couple friend arrived and immediately complained too. After this family paid the bill one of the ladies approached our table and started berating my friend, and a third table. Then left the restaurant shouting at everyone about kids. Wow. I could have done without the show. And if it wasn't raining we would have sat outside. The manager Victor was very gracious and apologetic. And in retrospect not much he could do. The food is definitely worth it and I will give it another try. Beautiful ambiance.

Wow, wow, wow! I've driven by Casa Mariano hundreds of times (my mother lives in Doral) and have always wanted to stop in. Last night, my boyfriend and I invited my mom and sister to dinner, and it was the perfect opportunity to finally visit. From the moment we walked in, the experience was flawless. The host was warm and welcoming, seating us immediately. Our waitress, Alicia, was absolutely lovely; beaming smile, great energy, super attentive, and genuinely helpful. We started with a bottle of Mendoza, Argentina Chardonnay and three appetizers that were as gorgeous on the plate as they were on the palate: * Tenderloin Carpaccio -- Portobello mushrooms, arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano, capers, poached tomatoes, red onions. All the meat eaters at the table raved about it. * Tuna & Stracciatella -- Passion fruit and nori. I'll admit, tuna and cheese sounded unusual, but it was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely perfect. * Butternut Squash Salad -- Arugula, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds, hazelnut-maple vinaigrette. Oh. My. Goodness. This might be one of the most beautiful & best tasting salads I've ever had! The flavor combinations were flawless. For mains: * My sister kept it light with the Signature French Onion Soup and Truffle French Fries (which I sampled. YUM). * My boyfriend and mother both chose the Butterfly Branzino with lemon caper butter sauce and asparagus--crispy skin, moist interior, and a sauce worth mopping up. * I went for the Blackened Salmon with sweet corn risotto, artichokes, and cherry tomatoes. The spice rub was spectacular, with a noticeable hint of star anise, and the risotto tasted like summer in a bowl. Even though we were full, dessert was non-negotiable. We shared the Goat Cheese Flan with passion fruit and honey sauce. Whoa! Flan was super silky & tangy due to the goat cheese. The sauce was amazing & bright & had little pieces of crunchy sour bits! Amazing contrast of textures & flavours. One of my favorite desserts in recent memory. The interior is beautiful, the ambiance spot-on, and the staff outstanding. "Hidden gem" doesn't even begin to describe it. This is fine dining at its best... without the Gables or Brickell price tag. Can't wait to return!

Hidden Gem in Doral, thank you Yelp (again) for steering us in the right direction. The food is spectacular! Those morcilla spring rolls is probably one of the most delicious things I've ever had, wow!! Ambiance is chic yet cozy. Seats are roomy. We went with a Pinot Noir but it wasn't the best we've had. Will opt for a Cab next time. Everything on the menu looked good, it was hard to make a decision, lol. Very happy I went with the risotto, it was spectacular. Can't wait to come back!!

From start to finish this place was absolutely amazing. Carlos was the best server that I've experience in private dining in a while. Very attentive, very informative very patient. The food suggests that he offered was top-tier and scrumptious definitely will come back and highly recommend.

Excellent place , hidden , a gem, food quality impressive, not expensive Gets crowded for lunch with business people , nice Will be coming back .

Beautiful restaurant in Doral. Excellent food and overall service. We never leave disappointed It is a hidden gem!

This place was amazing, the food is a mix of Mediterranean, Italian, and Latin. The place is small but totally worth it. The service was 10/10 and the waiters gave great recommendations

Delicious spot in Doral. It was small but had indoor and outdoor seating. Would highly recommend to make a reservation. They only serve beer and wine - no cocktails. The food was delicious. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and my favorite were the croquettes. We tried the empanada of the day which was filled with meat. That was good but a little too heavy for my liking. The burrata was just ok but the favorite was the goat cheese stuffed dates! I got a short rib pasta for my meal and it was delicious. My colleagues enjoyed their lamb chops, avocado salad and raviolis. We didn't have dessert but it looked yummy! The service was a bit slow and we did have to keep asking for more water and wine. Overall it was a great night!

We went as two couples with our kids, spent around $700, and it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. On their own website, they claim: "The design is intimate and calming, making Chef Mariano's casa as comforting as your own." The reality could not have been further from that. There was nothing comforting, nothing welcoming -- only arrogance, poor management, and zero hospitality. A couple of nearby tables decided our kids were "a problem" (when in reality they weren't screaming or out of control, just being kids). Instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner escalated it by asking one of my friends to stand up and talk in private in the middle of dessert -- completely unnecessary and disrespectful. When I addressed him respectfully, he started talking about some supposed "law" that made no sense, then accused me of "disrespecting" him, which I never did. He gave a half-hearted apology, walked away, and ignored us. To make matters worse, another server responded with attitude when I asked for the check. Meanwhile, the owner was busy apologizing to other tables instead of addressing the situation with us. This restaurant sells itself as "intimate and comforting," but the reality is the exact opposite. If you have kids, don't bother coming here. Poorly managed, rude staff, and absolutely no sense of hospitality.

We've been coming to Casa Mariano for almost 4 years (since they opened) and have always had a great experience. Today, my husband's plate was incorrectly brought out and he had to wait almost 20 minutes for his actual meal to come out. The least they could have done was give us a coffee or dessert on the house, but nope, nothing. Very disappointing customer service!!

Updating My review... just to reinforce what a great experience Casa Mariano is for business meetings. I know the location/area can be deceiving, but i booked my reservation thru Open Table, stated business lunch, and they assigned me the private room with a wonderful TV & AV equipment. Loved the private room, it was perfect for my working lunch meeting, we indulged in delicious pulpo al olivo, pesto burrata, tuna tartate, and for main dish I had the salmon with risotto. We shared a really nice dulce de leche w/strawberry cake.. the servers were attentive & had great recommendations. I need to visit more often!

We dined at Casa Mariano for a friends birthday and as a small restaurant, I had unfortunately never heard of it so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Jorge, our server, was incredibly attentive and provided outstanding service on a very busy night. The food was literally to die for. I am still dreaming about the house made rigatoni. We tried the butterfly branzino, duck breast socarrat, patatas bravas, and gnocchi Alla bolognese. Everything was made to perfection, and with so much attention and care. Can't wait to be back.

Recently checked Casa Mariano out for a friend's bridal brunch and wow, was I surprised! This is a true hidden gem -- we arrived around 12 pm and tried out the Miami Spice menu, I was excited to try this spot out because a few friends who live around the area mentioned how much they loved it, but I was not expected for it to be this good! I ordered the smoked salmon dish that sat in a bed of tzatziki sauce... chefs kiss. Then I ordered the true star of the show; short rib eggs Benedict. The short rib was so tender, almost melting as I ate each bite. The combination of flavors was so good -- I'd go back just for this dish. Lastly, the dessert... wow if you've read my reviews by now you know I'm a dessert lover and these desserts did not disappoint. The chef wanted us to try a few of their signature desserts (rather than their Miami spice menu options) and we were open to that, so we ended up with the pavlova, goat cheese flan, hazelnut tiramisu, cream brûlée crepe, and the cinnamon roll -- each dessert was perfection. I couldn't resist indulging and have zero regrets. The service was great + last but certainly not least their ambiance inside is so cute, very Mediterranean blue, and very chic. Truly can't wait to go back soon!

Cute place outside of the crazy busy section of doral. The food was eclectic with mostly Italian dishes but I would say it had a heavy Spanish influence. The "spring rolls" were Morcilla which is blood sausage so I'm not sure how to categorize those. lol. We had the Greek appetizer of hummus and tzatziki with 3 fried zucchini chips. That was meh... We also ordered sea bass encrusted with pistachio and cauliflower and mashed potato. Also, the branzino in butter and caper sauce with asparagus. The fish was really fresh and I recommend it The service was very good and they had a wonderful little area for our party of seven that showed up without a reservation. It was very nice

A real GEM in Doral. Worthy of all praise. Beautifully decorated restaurant with professional and attentive staff. Lets talk FOOD..... Appetizer- Bacalao croquetas, grilled and thinly sliced octopus, sweet and savor ribs and the lamb baclava were all perfection! Main - BRANZINO - exquisitely executed! Best I have ever had! Ever! Parmesan risotto was the best side dish. Dessert - Hazelnut tiramisu was lovely however the créeme brûlée crepe was my favorite. Cannot wait to make my next reservation.

My girlfriend and I went to a special event and it we had a great time. Chef Mariano is awesome; friendly and the food was great. Looking forward to returning back to his restaurant

I came here for the first time recently for dinner and everyone (party of 15) was impressed and left happy. Professional & attentive service, lovely modern decor and ambiance, very nice wine selection, and an overall spectacular meal. I tried the shrimp appetizer, tiradito nikkei, branzino (my favorite!), sea bass, sautéed mushrooms side, and tiramisu for dessert. We all loved everything and I'm really looking forward to returning for another fantastic meal and dining experience. 10/10

I had such an amazing experience in this restaurant. I love the ambiance and the service was super quick. I went on lunch time and it wasn't packed. I did make reservations in advance just in case. I had the dates appetizer and it was soooo delicious. For the entree I had the bacon churrasco with a ceaser salad and it was soo good I will have order this again. I had a cappuccino with a hazelnut tiramisu dessert. Everyone was very sweet and cordial but the food was out of this world. I definitely will return. The prices are reasonable as well.

Reservations are a MUST. They WILL turn you away even if the restaurant looks empty; they are most likely fully committed and the reservations take priority. Decor inside is absolutely gorgeous! Absolutely love everything about it and you really do feel like you're having an intimate meal in a house.... which I guess we are! It's Mariano's house! Everything I've ordered has been great. Cooked fresh and well flavored. Beer and Wine only; no cocktails available- FYI Service is paced yet efficient. You don't feel rushed but you're not forgotten. Overall a great little stand-out spot in Doral.

From the moment we entered our server Jorge was very welcoming and attentive, even bringing me a hook for my purse (great little detail). We were a group of 5 and had the tuna, lomo saltado empanada, ham croquetas, and provoleta. All of them were delicious, the empanadas was highlight for me. For dinner we had the 48 hr sous vide malta short rib with cacio pepe risotto, famous lasagna and the milenese. All delicious but thr short rib was out of this world. Lastly, the goat cheese flan with passion fruit caramel was absolutely divine. We will be coming back and highly recommend this place. Ambiance, service and food were all amazing. Kudos to the chef!

Celebrated my mother in laws birthday here. Staff was super nice and all the dishes were amazing.

This was my second time at Casa Mariano to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was really good. We felt taken cared of and not forced to buy anything. Simply great! It's every well decorated inside and bathroom was impeccable. Food once again did not disappoint. We had a few appetizers and entrees and shared. Definitely will go back. The baklava appetizer was my favorite!

The restaurant is in a very unassuming area. Very classy inside. Small and intimate. Service was great and very attentive. The food was great just needed a little salt.

Casa Mariano was really delicious. It is located in a small shopping center in Doral. It is not in a place where it can be easily seen from the street, but it is charming and nicely decorated. The restaurant has both inside and outside dining options for those who want the choice on a beautiful Florida night. The menu is not big, but it certainly has great options for every taste. We had the lentil salad as an appetizer, and it was delicious... fresh, and nicely seasoned. The main courses we ordered were linguini vongole and a pistachio bacon crusted corvina. Both incredibly good. The wine list without being big it has great wines at a moderate price. Service was perfect... attentive, but not intrusive. Casa Mariano is definitely a restaurant that can become one of my favorite places for good food and dining experience. Great addition to the Doral dining scene.

Excellent food! Great wine selection (but expensive). Beautiful small restaurant, but noisy. Mediocre service, not friendly at all.

Demasiado espectacular todo la comida deliciosa. Un ambiente y atención espectacular.

Ambiance was great . It's cozy , intimate , not many tables .. Service was great . Food was delicious .. I look forward to going Back!

We went Saturday night based on the reviews. No reservations, we sat outside. The food was bland ,tasteless. My husband ordered the filet , flavorless and we both order the house made rigatoni again based on reviews. Nothing to rave home about. The restaurant was clean, regulars seemed to be there as they were greeted like friends. We will not return.

This place is definitely a hidden Gem! The ambiance is very chic, yet not pretentious. The service was phenomenal, Adalberto was taking care of my table, at all times he was very attentive without making me feel rushed, he was willing to recommend from the regular menu or the seasonal specials... And the food: whew!... The food is delicious! I tried as an appetizer their dates, it was very well balanced between the sweetness and the savory taste. I also had the osobucco ravioli which was espectacular, and I ended with the moist chocolate cake, what a decadent and flavourful experience! I will definitely be back :)

Excellent Restaurant with great customer service! The food is excellent, the best Branzino in Miami.

We went here for a work event and I am not sure how they found this hidden gem, but it is a definite must try. The appetizers of goat cheese stuffed dates and short rib empanadas were mouthwatering and we all had to remember to leave room for the main course. Speaking of main courses, there were three on our menu and our table made sure all were ordered and tried by everyone. The homemade gnocchi were deliciously creamy, the salmon was light and flaky and the prime picanha was seasoned well and very tender. We ended the night with wonderful delicious desserts of pavlova and guava flan.

Finally, I was able to enjoy a dinner at Casa Mariano. I made reservations for days before and I was able to enjoy my dinner on a Saturday night. It's cute because it has seating area outside and inside. I liked the modern yet elegant design inside. I had for the first time, a Lebanese wine and a pair really nice with the appetizers which were my favorite part of the dinner. My fish as a main entry was tasty, but I wouldn't order again since I fell in love with the appetizers. I got the dates stuffed with goat cheese and bacon. And I also got the morcilla eggrolls. Both appetizers where to die for I can eat this thing every day if I could.

Excellent service and great daily specials, I was in Doral for work and found this gem near my hotel. Sat outside and ordered an Albariño to cool down, let the waiter do the rest: dorado ceviche, cioppino stew with some excellent spice and heat... and of course a cheesecake. Went back a night later with a group and sat inside, excellent yet again. Enjoy

We went there last week! The restaurant is beautiful the service is superb and the food was extra delicious. We stared out wit a couple appetizers, I enjoyed the sweet bread tacos the most of the three we ordered. All the entree was delicious but that sauce for the squid/seafood risotto is outstanding. I personally think the risotto is a tad undercooked but it could just be my personal reference. We will definitely come back.

I work in the area and bring customers often. Simply, this is the best restaurant in Doral. The food is exceptional and the service matches it. I tend to write more critical reviews than positive ones but I had to write this review because they deserve the accolades. The appetizers are well thought out and seafood dishes are excellent.

I absolutely loved this restaurant! starting off with the decoration and service ... wow! It's like a beautiful elegant, clean, family house decoration with the best hosts! All very friendly, polite and with great attitude to take care of the clients! We tried many dishes and all were a 10/10. The wine was amazing and we had the chance to sit in a private salon yet very cozy and casual at the same time! I loved it! The fresh ingredients and gourmet flavors make this restaurant must! I'm dying to go for brunch now! It's great for a date, a girls night out for dinner, a work gathering or just family plan to share and have amazing food! Besides those pictures we also ordered the carbonara, pappardelle alla bolognese, short rib in Malta with macadamia purée and the linguine alla vongole.. Everything ON POINT

The flavors, the ambience, the decord, the service.... Everything was above and beyond. This restaurant is a must if you are in the Miami/Doral area

This restaurant was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every single plate that I ordered, not one disappointed! To start, I ordered the patatas bravas which had mussels aioli (didn't taste fishy at all!) along with an order of the empanadas which were divine. As my entree I ordered the picanha cut steak (medium rare which was beautifully executed) paired with truffle fries. Then for my personal favorite I ordered for desert the Nutella tiramisu and the tocinollo del cielo. My sister ordered their special pineapple desert which was so interesting and came with coconut flavored gelato. The only down side I could see to this restaurant is it currently doesn't have their hard liquor license (they're working on it) but I was fine with that because I typically will have a glass of wine with my meal.

The food is delicious, service is impeccable, and ambiance is relaxed with soft lighting and beautiful decor. 10/10 recommend Casa Mariano for your next date night!

Will always be a 5 star dining experience! This gem is hidden in a little corporate center of Doral. I've been several times and the staff is SO pleasant and everything on the menu is DIVINE! I frequent and my mother loves to take clients here for business lunches too. I've had and recommend the following: pistachio crusted corvina beef short rib short rib flat bread (no longer on menu) short rib taquitos lamb croquettes bacon wrapped dates prime rib w/ bone marrow I'm telling you can't go wrong.

The food was to die for. Amazing service with Daniella and great Ambiance. We will definitely go back .

I stumbled upon this restaurant without trying to, and I'm so glad that I did. The space while small inside, is beautifully decorated and welcoming. The food -- WOW, que delicia! But my favorite part of all was how the servers and bussers were constantly checking in, removing dirty plates, and refilling our glasses. This is so hard to come by now-a-days and it was so pleasant and refreshing to find it at Casa Mariano. APPS - Tenderloin Carpaccio - Brie En Croute ENTREES - Black Ink Seafood Risotto - Pan seared Corvina SIDES - Garlic Mushrooms - Creamy Spinach DESSERT - Pineapple Suzette My take on the food? HUGE flavor. Everything tasted phenomenal. I was initially torn between the Pistachio-Crusted Fennel Norway Salmon and the Black Ink seafood Risotto, but after taking our server's recommendation -- clearly I'd made the right choice. Blown away. It was savory with a kick. Only comment I have is that I wish the Brie En Croute was bigger for that price point. I split it with my friend and it was gone in two bites. Overall, I would recommend and will be returning.

This place was so yummy! Definitely very cute and cozy. Smaller than I thought it would be, but that didn't make a difference to me. Very random spot though! LOL. Food was delish. My corvina was awesome and I appreciated that it had heart of palm incorporated on the dish. You don't really get to have that at many places. Dessert was delish (the pineapple one) and everyone was very helpful and attentive. Carpaccio was just ok in my opinion and although the brie appetizer was delicious, it was TINY. These two points are the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Other than that, it was great. I do recommend.

This little gem is in an office park near the Miami airport. We had reservations for 7, got there a little early and sat outside until our table was ready. The decor inside and outside is lovely, very sophisticated. The theme of the restaurant is 'Casa', so the chef created a space to reflect a home atmosphere which makes it very cozy and welcoming. Everything we ordered was amazing. The short rib empanada, Bolognese, Grilled Branzino with a side of risotto, and for dessert we had the chef's version of Balcarce. Not 100% sure that's the right name, but here's a pic for reference. I hope to dine there again on my next trip to Miami!

La experiencia en este lugar fue sencillamente genial, impecable, la atención de primera, el ambiente agradable, cómodo muy ordenado y relajante. La comida estuvo magnifica, el Risotto debe ser uno de los mejores que me he comido en la vida! La carne estaba suave, un sabor explosivo y muy bien presentada, la foto no le hace honor a lo bueno que estaba y se veía. Recomendado 100% y definitivamente volveré Amazing service! Amazing ambiance!

Went to this restaurant in the middle of warehouses in doral area , arrived and place was EMPTY only two people eating inside , to my surprise the front host didn't even welcome us nicely into the place , then she looks up in her pad for "availability" for two people lol then she goes on yo saying place was fully reserved even though place was empty , okayyyy that was impressive , I walked right out of this place , never in my experiences of coming in and out of all kinds of restaurant have I seen such unethical customer treatment , anyways there's plenty of places in miami and surrounding areas to go spend your money! Good luck !

Beautiful quaint restaurant with good service. We had the goat cheese stuffed dates (good) the Branzino (very nice but a little fatty) for dessert Balcarce (husband liked it) and a cappuccino. Wine and beer only.
