Casa Mariano

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,

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.

The food was delicious and fresh. Our waiter Jorge was so attentive, nice, had the best attitude and explained every plate.

I’ve been several times now and it never disappoints. The menu is petite but changes constantly; always delicious. I specially like the fact that there are many options with veggies and proteins. I always eat delicious without cheating on my diet ✨ 5 stars!

Casa Mariano is a really a great restaurant. All the appetizers and entrees are great as there is not really a bad choice on the menu and the food presentation is well done. The wine selection is pretty solid as well. We have been to Casa Mariano several times and just recently we celebrated my wife’s birthday in the back room with the big table. Even though I was advised that there was a minimum consumption of $800 to be honest that did not work out very well for us. We had 9 adults and 3 children and when the bill came they added $193 charge for not reaching the minimum consumption without any notice from the waiter. Mind you we ordered more than plenty from the menu ( 8 appetizers, 3 kids menu, 1 bottle of wine, 8 entrees, soft drinks etc). So we spoke to the waiter and ended up ordering 4 lasagnas and 4 steak Milanese to go to reach the minimum and it ended up being way more than you would normally pay at this restaurant at any other table. I think this policy needs to be changed as it just did not work out well with our group experience. Other than that great service and experience.

Food and Service was wonderful! They only sell wine and beer, no cocktails. Not a lot of vegan options but the chef was able to make accommodations for someone in my party. The truffle burrata and calamari was a fan favorite. Pictured was the special, truffle pasta.

All the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Our server Jorge was amazing, we hope to have him in all our visits. Our favorite appetizers were the lamb baklava, glazed baby back ribs and morcilla spring rolls. For dinner, we highly recommend the filet mignon or lamb chops with idiazzabal risotto. Also get the crepe brulee dessert, it is delicious. We'll be back soon!!

Absolutely loved this restaurant; superb food and service ! Will definitely be back . Prices are reasonable .

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

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!!

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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 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!

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

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.

First time at Casa Mariano, a friend recommended the restaurant for a meeting we were having. He had been there many time and spoke well of the two Chefs and the place itself. The staff accommodated us right away and were brought water and bread and dipping sauce that I did not tried. We order wine , they ordered some type of sparkling Italian wine, not prosecco something else, I went with Albarino, dry but Floral wine from Spain. The server told us about the first course specials and they both choose the tartare , I went for pan con tomato and Iberico, to be honest I did not felt the nuance of the typical taste of the Iberico even if it was Iberico de Cebo you taste it, I did not. Many restaurant rather buy a serrano than spending the price for Iberico de Bellota or de Cebo and there is a big price difference but as well a distinctive savor! The main course they both ordered the filet with foie gras on a base of risotto, the execution was very poor ,I notice right away that the foie gras was over done and almost inexistent. Either the slice foie gras they are using is really fatty or the very small and the risotto should have been to complement the dish lace with Black summer or even Australian winter truffles but it was not. I choose the bacalao al pil pil ,specialty that I love when it it well done! You are going to think that I am a pain but I ate this dish, cooked this dish and the one at Casa Mariano doesn't even come close to pil pil I know. See Bacalao al pil pil is simple but demand a technique a constant shaking of the pan so that the olive oil and the secretion of the Cod fish have to blend into an emulsion, this was tasteless, runny and did not have the flavors that result in the perfect execution as it should especially if it is a menu item. The Cod itself was cod loin frozen of a good quality a bit wet meaning the fish did not separate in flakes as it should . For me the highlight was the dessert ,Pavlova of Passion fruit and Coconut ice cream excellent, really enjoyed this , the other dessert was a crepe 2 per portion, the top is branded by the server , nice touch. I will be back a second time, the place is really quaint and you can always have an off day, it is a difficult profession and I know it for a fact, but when the price is high so as the expectation and the execution should be nothing but well done. Culinary regards, PB

This restaurant is nothing to get excited about. While its Miami location is easily accessible and parking is a breeze, the food is decidedly average. If you happen to be driving by, feel free to stop in, but don't waste your time if you're more than half a mile away--you're not missing anything noteworthy.

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 !

Service was excellent, food was pretty good I had the arroz negro - seafood rice with squid ink was delicious. Cauliflower appetizer was so-so

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.

Beautiful and very good service food is very good with diverse menu. Clean and well decorated. This is in Doral

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!

The food was great, the ambiance and service excellent. Certainly one restaurant in the neighborhood that will add to my rotation. Recommend the cod fish.

All of the food was incredible. From the appetizers on down to the dessert. I would highly recommend this restaurant for those of you who want a great culinary experience. It is a bit pricey though and not the kind of place that you would go continuously unless price is not an object.

Been here various times and the food always has been great. Very relax ambiance and great service. Highly recommended

We found out about Casa Mariano as we live really close by and always pass in front of it, the outside lights at night caught our attention as a very calm and enjoyable place to try out. Casa Mariano is an Mediterranean-Latin inspired cuisine, and the menu options and flavor did not disappoint! They offer inside sitting area which is decorated with sea-inspired vibes and very homey ambiance. You can also choose to sit outside if weather permits, and at night it looked perfect with the lights. Food we ordered: - Short Rib Empanadas (this make for a perfect appetizer!) - Cacio e Pepe Flatbread (another great appetizer perfect for sharing) - Black Ink Seafood Risotto (one of our faves of the night!) - House Made Gnocchi (comes with an amazing Gouda sauce) - Ravioli de Ossobuco (another fave plate of the night! One of the Seasonal selections in the menu) - Rib Eye with Garlic Mushrooms (14oz prime rib) - Picanha with Smashed Potatoes - Pavlova (comes with strawberries and it was soooo good!) Thanks for having us! Can't wait to come back soon!

Amazing place. Food is fantastic! A hidden gem in Doral! Recommend it 100% Everything we had was cooked to perfection.

We thought we were driving into the airport (planes zooming overhead) as we made our way to this really popular local spot (it seemed like everyone there knew everyone else). Even the chef came out at one point and enjoyed a couple of drinks with a few of the regulars who he obviously knew very well. We ate outside which was decent in terms of ambiance. Service was a bit uneven, but not annoyingly so. It's the food where it all started to head South. Our apps were decent. And I had the steak which was decent but maybe not worth that price. But my partner had the gnocchi which was... spongy. The taste was OK, but overall a fail. And really, no chef should fail at gnocchi. 2.5 stars really... unless you're a local or you know the chef you really should be going to a better (vs. just a decent) restaurant. And there are many...
