Da Angelino | Cucina Italiana

We came here totally by chance. Walked by and liked the interior, then checked Google Maps and saw the rating was very high, so we decided to come in. The restaurant was fully booked, but the staff was very kind and gave us a window-side high table. The cocktails were very cute and also very good. We ordered the octopus as a starter and it was really impressive. Not like many places where octopus is just grilled. This one had a creamy sauce, good sides, and the cherry tomatoes matched it very well. Obviously they put a lot of details and effort into the dish. We ordered the calamari pasta with shrimp. Each pasta roll was covered with sauce and seafood, and the texture was really good. We have been to many famous pasta restaurants before, but honestly this one was better than most of them. Very surprised. We also had the pistachio millefoglie for dessert, recommended by our server Jack. It was delicious and looked very nice. Shout out to our waiter, Jack L, who was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this place and would come back again.

This new Italian is making a big splash in Cocowalk, at the center of the vibrant dining scene thriving in Coconut Grove. The restaurant’s proprietor, the convivial Angelino, is present, overseeing both ends of the house. He ensures that hospitality is delivered by example. The dishes are ample, fresh and flavorful, and the servers are attentive and friendly. The sword fish filet ( a special that evening) is spectacular, as is the fried calamari. A very enjoyable experience.

From the very beginning, everything was perfect. The service was outstanding, the food was absolutely wow — authentic Italian cuisine full of flavor — and the atmosphere was just perfect. What truly made the experience special was the owner, who welcomed us personally from the moment we arrived and made our visit even more enjoyable. He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my 3-year-old daughter, which meant a lot to us. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. However, there’s a table located right under a strong air conditioner — they should really fix that as soon as possible. As for the food, I ordered the Cacio e Pepe al Tartufo. It was okay — a bit too al dente for my taste and lacking in flavor. The dessert, however, was excellent! The Tiramisu was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious — definitely the highlight of the meal. Prices are a little high, but overall, it’s an okay experience.

Dinner at Da Angelino | Cucina Italiana feels less like going out to eat and more like being adopted by an Italian family you didn’t know you needed. The cacio e pepe is the real deal — simple, powerful, and emotional in all the right ways. One bite and you start speaking with your hands. The lamb chops? Perfectly cooked, insanely flavorful, and absolutely main-character energy. They’ve got a strong wine list too — the kind where you tell yourself “just one glass” and immediately lie to your own face. And the tiramisu… made tableside. Fresh, creamy, and dangerous. It’s not dessert — it’s a performance, and you’re the lucky audience. Authentic food, great vibe, and no fluff. Just honest Italian cooking done right.

We came here on a Thursday afternoon in their second week open. Jack was there to wait on us. Bravo. It is an upscale Italian restaurant located in the Grove. If you are looking for something different and a great atmosphere. Come you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience, ask for Jack. I have been to many restaurants in their opening weeks/months and it the service that makes or breaks a restaurant by appropriate engagement and knowledge of a menu. We will be back!

Our first time at Angelino was incredible!! Amazing authentic Italian restaurant, located in the top coconut groves spot! The GM Angelo was super attentive and polite, Norelis and Filippo very professional, the chef come to our table to recommend us the best specials of the night. I really recommend to try the tuna tartare, the vitello tonnato and I ate the best pasta in years!! Spaghetti with clams, sea urchin, and bottarga!!

It’s been a while where I walk into a restaurant and everything from the ambiance, service and food are 10/10. Everything we tried was so fresh and unique. I cannot wait to come back. Our server Norelys was wonderful as well!

A truly wonderful dining experience. Lorenzo took care of us as if we were family. The food is delicious, the dining room is spotless, the lighting is perfect and the service is 5-s. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you! Sebastian

Ambiance: The ambiance was very nice -- the atmosphere and décor were definitely on point. Service: Unfortunately, the service was among the worst I've experienced for the price point -- easily bottom three. There was zero attention to detail: no pre-bussing between courses, the waiter seemed unfamiliar with the menu, and we had to wave him down multiple times. For what you pay here, you expect much more attentiveness. Cocktail service was a mess from the start. My wife ordered an espresso martini, and when I asked what vodka they use, the waiter said Smirnoff. For an $18 cocktail, that was disappointing. I quickly intervened and asked for Tito's instead. Then I ordered an old fashioned -- no question about what bourbon I preferred. Not a dealbreaker, but again, these small touches matter at this level. Midway through, our waiter disappeared, and another server took over for the food order. No one offered wine until I asked for a list myself. Once ordered, that part went smoothly -- but overall, we felt ignored most of the night. For entrées averaging $30-$40, I expected far better service. Food: The food was underwhelming. Bread service was basic, and there were no small plates for the olive oil -- not a big deal, but noticeable. The arancini were greasy -- not terrible, but far from great. My spaghetti vongole was average at best. The presentation from a beat-up pan felt unnecessary, and the dish itself needed more clam sauce. I still finished it -- maybe because I was hungry -- but it wasn't memorable. My wife ordered the mushroom tortellini, which she didn't finish and didn't enjoy -- no trace of truffle flavor. Our friends had the cacio e pepe, and again, the tableside cheese-wheel presentation felt more like a gimmick. Across the board, everything was under-seasoned; the salt shaker made too many rounds at our table. Overall: We won't be returning. I genuinely wanted to like this place -- the ambiance sets the right mood -- but the service and food didn't live up to the price or location. This isn't meant to bash, just honest feedback. For what you pay, you should expect a more polished, attentive, and flavorful experience.

A friend wanted to try this place that's only been opened for 5 days. Service was honestly excellent and the appetizers were very good !! The shrimp carpaccio was unlike anything I've tried before !! Get the cacio o Pepe fries !! Desert was also amazing

Excellent drinks and service at Angelina! Stopped in for an after dinner cocktail and really enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality from Jack!

Yesterday we had lunch here. It was an elegant and delightful experience. The service was way above expectations, and the food was incredible, several notches above our usual Miami Italian restaurant. We chose to order off the regular menu, foregoing the Executive Lunch prix fixe options of $39, simply because we did not want to eat that much. Those options looked great. We ordered the lamb ragu rigatoni and the pasta with clam sauce. We shared dishes and I can't say which one I enjoyed more. Both meals were delicious. The clam dish was served tableside. Our waiter twirled the pasta and arranged the clams and sauce on top with great elegance. The tiramisu was beyond description, again served at the table and divine. All in all, the service was impeccable, very friendly, and efficient. We sat outside as the weather was mildly warm. My glass of rose wine was just what I wanted. The Italian beer was a typical lager according to my companion. Both of our servers answered our questions about their Italian backgrounds with enthusiasm, encouraging visits to both Florence and Naples. Some of the other customers were speaking Italian which proves to me that Da Angelino's food is authentic, way above the ordinary here in the US. We parked in the adjacent parking garage and had a little trouble finding our car. Next time we will pay more attention to where we put our vehicle! There will definitely be a next time! Highly recommended.

The service and the staff was impeccable! We really felt right at home. Norelys did a phenomenal job, she's effortlessly good at what she was. Will highly recommend!

Last night, we tried out Da Angelino, the new spot that took over where Eva, the Mediterranean place, used to be in the grove. Da Angelino was opened for the first time the night before and is owned by the Ariete hospitality group, same guys who own Ariete, Chuggs, and Taurus in the grove. The restaurant was pretty busy, which we were happy to see, but the overall ambiance came off a little tacky. Lighting felt a bit yellow and bright. Couldn't hear music, loud environment, good amount of kids around. This is all fine, just not the greatest spot if you're looking for something modern for date night. For an Italian restaurant in Coconut Grove, it just didn't feel super vibey. Host and server were very friendly. We started with an order of Aperol Spritz and the bourbon-Aperol Spritz (AEREO DI CARTA)--it had a nice sweet-tart balance and I'd definitely order it again. Then moved to the Artichoke & feta dip with fried-style bread--crispy on the outside, soft inside. Dip was tasty. Mini calzones--okay, but felt like something you'd pop out of your freezer at home. Not all that. Carpaccio de carne (beef carpaccio)--this was our favorite app. Fresh and sophisticated; you could tell some care went into it. Pasta with octopus ( STROZZAPRETI & POLPO) fresh octopus, tangy red sauce, very good. Cacio e pepe--superb. They toss it right in front of you with cheese, and it was definitely our favorite dish. If we come back, it'd only be for pastas (and maybe a drink)--we'd skip the appetizers. The vibe felt more traditional Italian, lots of older folks and kids, not exactly modern or trendy. Still, the pasta really redeems the experience.

We stumbled upon this new spot in CocoWalk and it was an amazing experience. We sat at the bar and met the best bartender, L Muñeco, and the owner was sitting a few seats down. He took extraordinary care of us. We started with the cheese board, the whipped ricotta with truffle and the pistachio cheese were unique and delicious. We were given a complimentary carpaccio which was paper thin, the freshest olive oil drizzle. We tried two pastas and I couldn't decide which was better. The tiramisu was unique and constructed table side. I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough!

Great addition to the grove! Food was delicious and service was even better. Norelys was amazing and advised of all the specials while making sure we were taken care of, and Angelo was very nice and made us feel like regulars even though it was the first time. The food was also amazing and we'll definitely be back!

This is the best restaurant I ever dined at. Even the salad was beyond this world. Pasta with seafood and the fig ravioli was excellent. The service was out of this world. Norelys served us. Ask for her if you can. The chef, Roberto, was going around more than once so we were able to talk to him. The ambiance was great. Location is superb. I whole-heartedly recommend this place. You got to try it. And bring people with you so they can enjoy it, too.

Da Angelino is a welcome newcomer in Coconut Grove! We went for their Grand Opening and everything we had on the menu was authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor--hands down some of the best Italian I've had in Miami. From the pastas to the seafood to the appetizers, every dish felt thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients and real attention to detail. What makes it even more special is Angelo, who runs the restaurant with such warmth and passion. He has a way of making every guest feel at home. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, the kind of place that works just as well for a date night as it does for a family dinner. If you're looking for amazing food paired with genuine hospitality, you must try this new spot. It's the kind of restaurant you'll want to keep coming back to--and one I'll be recommending to everyone I know!

Great atmosphere and very tasty food! Service was also very good. Nice place to dine overall.

Ambience was great, service amazing (we loved Juan!) and food delicious. I did not give it 5 stars because the food was cold.....delicious, but cold.

Stumbled upon this place and was DELIGHTED! It was so good, amazing quality food, and it was a good priced I highly recommend!! we got the ala vodka gnocchi, the tortellini and tuna tartare. 10/10 and the service was so nice and attentive!

Food was delicious. great service. perfect atmosphere thanks to Luigi, excellent service

Muneco was the best waiter ever paid attention to detail literally best experience at a restaurant ever!

Food was very good. Filipino was an excellent waiter and had a great experience (go canes)!

Flippo was amazing with his service! We had such a good time and the food was so delicious. Go canes

Best pasta I've ever had. The service was amazing. My go to order is spaghetti and tomato sauce. Another thing that i've tried here is their Cacio E Pepe. They mixed the Cacio E Pepe right in front of you with fresh Parmesan and pepper before serving it. It was so good! The pasta tastes like it's from Italy. The inside is nice and they also have outdoor seating. Overall 10/10.

The food was great. We ordered the beef carpaccio (very good), the gnocchi alla vodka, the mushroom tortellini pasta & the table side tiramisu. Certainly worth the price and I definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu. The service however, was disappointing. Took more than 10minutes for the waitress to approach our table & ask for our drink order. At which point we decided to order drinks, appetizers & entrees altogether to avoid another long wait. A 20% tip being automatically included for a party of 2 seemed ridiculous- especially given the service provided. The ambiance inside the restaurant is difficult to enjoy as it is incredibly loud. Making it difficult to make conversation even across a very small table.
