INTIMO

My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience at INTIMO. The food was delicious, beautifully plated, and full of rich flavors. Every dish was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared, making it a delightful culinary experience. I would have given the food a perfect rating, but there was just a small room for improvement. The service was outstanding! The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. The atmosphere was simply amazing—cozy, elegant, and well-designed, making it the perfect spot for a special night out. Overall, we highly recommend INTIMO for anyone looking for a great dining experience. We will definitely be coming back!

I had an amazing dining experience. The waitress was incredibly knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and making the entire meal even more enjoyable. Each dish was perfectly prepared, with attention to every detail. I will definitely be returning for more!

Perfect dining experience from the moment we entered! We arrived with baby in stroller and the staff was very accommodating to find us the perfect table. Our server was professional, knowledgable, and fun! He gave recommendations based on our order to complement the meal from app to desserts! The food was perfection from the presentation, to ingredients, to texture, to flavor.

My wife and I recently had an unforgettable evening at Intimo. The restaurant’s romantic ambiance set the perfect stage for our night out, and I have to say, the experience was exceptional. The menu, featuring a Japanese-Peruvian fusion, brought flavors together in the best way I’ve ever tasted. Every dish was a delight, but the sushi bombs truly stood out—they were absolutely to die for! The service was also top-notch; our server’s recommendations were spot-on, making us feel like we were the only two people there and enhancing our meal with his thoughtful guidance. Intimo deserves an 11/10 for both food and service. Can’t wait to return!

Íntimo: A Culinary Masterpiece in Miami Beach. Dining at Íntimo is an extraordinary experience where gastronomy meets artistry. Each dish is crafted with exceptional detail, delivering distinct, exquisite flavors that showcase a mastery of haute cuisine. The service is beyond refined—more than servers, they are curators of fine dining. Gabriela and Sebastián provided impeccable, passionate attention, making us feel like esteemed guests in a private culinary sanctuary. The ambiance is breathtaking. Live saxophone and flute music enhance the beautifully designed space, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Having dined at Michelin-starred restaurants, I can confidently say Íntimo surpasses expectations. With world-class cuisine, service, and an immersive experience, it is a true Miami gem.

Amazing place to have dinner. Our server Franco was amazing! Very attentive, friendly, great recommendations and customer service. The food was delicious, try the ceviche and their sushi bombs to die for!! The ambience was very good, with great live performance with a very talented lady who played the violin, flute and saxophone.

Vidal was our server and he was wonderful! He made the dining experience such a great one. Food was fantastic as well. We would def come back and ask for Vidal again as our server.

Pleasant ambiance and good service. A little disappointed with the food. Miss-miso roll had a sour sauce like yogurt. 105 roll was very dry. Duck(main dish) was very tough and chewy. The best food was batataki mashrooms, it was excellent.

Second time we've been here on visits to Miami and we've recommended it to many friends. They never disappoint and the friends always thank us! The service is impeccable. Franco was just as phenomenal as Sebastian has been in the past. The whole team is attentive and helps guide you through an extensive and very interesting menu to choose from. The Ceviche and anything we've had from the raw bar is just unreal! Don't miss the Sushi Bombs From the cold and hot apps, to the entrees and desserts, everything is clearly thoughtfully developed and flawlessly executed. The service experience, signature drinks, and the menu all blend the Peruvian and Japanese cultures in thoughtful, interesting, and delicious ways. The top notch servers are all about helping you find what fits your tastes and desires to create YOUR perfect experience. From the signature cocktails featuring Peruvian Pisco, to the sake by the glass selection, and Japanese whiskey old fashion that's hickory smoked at the table. It's all out of this world. Don't sleep on Intimo. 10/10 experience all the way around!

We came for Valentine's Day evening and they were quite busy but still kind enough to accommodate our reservation despite showing up half an hour late (due to Uber cancellations). We were seated outside and the chairs were a bit low. We started with drinks - pisco sour (their specialty) and an espresso martini. As for food, we ordered the arroz con pato, short rib pappardelle, and the black miso cod. Everything was so so flavorful. My favorite was the cod which was paired with this quinoa that was so yummy I've never had such delicious quinoa in my life. The pappardelle was also really creamy and the duck rice was packed with flavor. Overall we really enjoyed our meal! The portions were big too.

My family dined here and this is the feedback we provided to the manager when he reached out: We overall had a lovely time. Here's our detailed experience: What went well: - the attentiveness; our server was ever available and made the experience for my kids memorable. He gently wiped their hands with the hot towels and served them nearly bottomless refills of the amuse bouche broth. - the ambience and decor and our seating placement all rang the right notes - five of our six plated dishes received high marks. The popular sushi roll was excellent and stood out most. The black cod and the quinoa were also delicious. (Waygu nigiri, avocado ceviche and the kids snapper were the other food we got that we liked; also, high marks on the pisco sours) -the cod entree was amazing and a good balance as the server described Areas of opportunity: - starting with why we were there in the first place -- to celebrate my birthday. It was in the reservation notes. Not once was it acknowledged. Not once did anyone ask what brought us in that night to learn the reason. Unfortunately we were tending to our children when the server began his dessert or wrap up process and we didn't inquire about "does IntiMo do anything to celebrate birthdays?" line. - while we appreciated the attentiveness of the server, at a couple points he felt a little too overbearing. There's a balancing act of being attentive and hovering. -many of the specials were not documented on a menu so it was hard to follow what the server was telling us at times. - the udon steak and shrimp dish was way too salty for my husband. He didn't send it back but thinks the server was subtly steering him away from the dish when he inquired, telling him it's "a soy sauce puree." He says his brain in that decisive moment never assigned that salt level to the servers description. He instead thought it sounded good. In hindsight, he says he should have said something while at the restaurant. Perhaps something can be done to reduce the salt in the future or remove that dish from the menu. Overall, all the dishes minus the Udon were delicious, we enjoyed the ambiance and dining experience overall and would come back for their sushi and fish dishes.

We had reservations for Valentine's Day. The place was full, but we got caught in traffic due to the boat show and were arriving about 20 minutes late. We gave them a call to let them know and they were able to accommodate. The service was absolutely phenomenal. Our waitress has vast knowledge of the menu, specials and ingredients. She gave thorough and appetizing descriptions of whatever we asked about. We started with the special lychee drink of the day and the raspberry rum drink. The cocktails were refreshing, had great presentation and were creatively delicious. The food left nothing to be desired. The seafood was incredibly fresh and the dishes were flavorful. The only thing that was lacking slightly was the ambiance. The live music (flutist and saxophonist) was great, but the tables were placed way too close to each other. Was a bit difficult to have a private conversation.

Back again and it's a perfect Wednesday vibe. It's important to get the right dishes here as there are some standouts. Tirado hamachi is outstanding! Get this. It looks big in photos but it's not as big as it looks - perfect for 2. Sushi bomb was yummy! Had the intimo bomb! Branzino is delicious and it looked great. Snapper filet with risotto- disappointing. It lacked flavor and I don't recommend this dish. It also didn't look appetizing.

This was hands down our favorite restaurant in our 3 day visit in Miami! We got the octopus, arroz con Mariscos, a red snapper dish and a dessert (chola rusa recia). Ambiance: 5/5 we chose the outdoor seating option Service: 5/5 Service was outstanding and there were multiple staff serving us Food: 5/5 Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked but the star was the arroz con mariscos (seemed like a blend of paella and risotto)- it was perfectly creamy, seafood was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were well-balanced and rich! My wife said she would come back to Miami just to have this dish! Price: 4.5/5 Overall, we will definitely be back whenever we visit Miami again.

Outstanding! One of the best dinners I have had in a while. I've never had this cuisine but now that I have there is no turning back. Every meal was like a work of art, delicate and delicious. Helpful staff. Beautiful yet cozy decor. Interesting drinks. Loved the vibe of the saxophonist. Made for a very special evening, an exquisite culinary experience!

Oh my gosh, my favorite restaurant in Miami!! The place inside is super cozy and modern, but the best part is the food. Wow. Every single thing we tried made us say "mmmmm" outloud. The sushi rolls were awesome but our favorite things were the crispy rice with tuna, sushi bombs, and ceviche. I'm actually going back here in a few weeks and am going to try some of the entrees from here too to give an update on those! But if you want fresh seafood and a beautiful mishmosh of Peruvian and Japanese food, this is your Heaven.

From Aiden, I'm only 10 years old and this was one of my favorite food experiences!! Franco was an amazing waiter! He gave us suggestions and all of them were amazing! For example the sushi bombs were covered in gold flakes! I thought that the gold was a very good design! There wasn't much noise so it was nice and quiet . There were fresh flowers that made the restaurant smell amazing! He did an amazing job giving great suggestions. 5+ stars!! Aiden

This was easily our favorite meal on our trip to Miami! Everything from the service to the ambiance and food was on point. Our server was Zuliana and I would 100% request her on a future visit. She knew her stuff and had a lot of experience working here. She provided us with the best recommendations and was honest and warm. Nico was a manager who visited our table several times to check on us, and he too was fantastic! They have an incredible team here at INTI.MO. The food... omg the food. I'm so glad we asked Zuliana for recommendations because we wouldn't have tried half the things she suggested, but they turned out to knock our socks off. The tiradito de hamachi was one of my favorites. It had such incredible complex flavor and wonderful textures. A home run. She also suggested we try some of their torched items. We selected the conchita parmesana nigiri and tuna sushi bomb. Both were torched tableside and each was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures. I would have happily ordered more of each! Our final savory course was the classic ceviche with all of the seafood! It was one of the best ceviches I've had, and I love that we got to try so many different types of seafood within. We also tried a couple of desserts, lucuma ice cream and a dulce de leche dessert. The latter was quite rich and sweet but good. The ice cream was a revelation, and a new flavor we had never tried before. From the food to the service and everything in between, INTI.MO stole our hearts and will hands down be the first restaurant I book if I return to Miami in the future!

This Peruvian place is one of our favorites, the food, cocktails and service is spotless. A cozy place in the caos of south beach, that delivers fresh, excellent and unique interpretation of Peruvian classic dishes, pair with superb cocktails.

The rating didn't disappoint us! This place had great food! We order the sushi platter, the octopus, the lamp, black cod and salmon. (Go with salmon ;) ). The serving for each plate was good. The platter was even shared amongst 7 people as well. The service was great! Very attentive and informative. The ambiance was absolutely great for having a drink, group gatherings or even for dates.

I don't usually leave reviews but my family and I had such an incredible experience at Íntimo! 5 star service - everyone was incredible - and the food was to die for. Easily one of the best meals we've had in our lives, and the presentation was immaculate as well. Felt like a Michelin restaurant! Can't wait to come back.

Delicious Peruvian food with along with a stylish and flavorful Japanese influence. We started with a Smokey Mezcal and Fresh Passion Fruit Margarita with a hint of fresh Peruvian lime juice and it even came with an extra shot of the super smooth mezcal. Beautiful presentation, with fresh flowers, gold leaf and dry ice. So happy our server Sebastian recommended it. Our wonderful server also recommended we start with the Tuna Sushi Bomb topped with Foie Gras. Such a wild pairing idea, but he said it was a flavor bomb, and after it was caramelized Table side with a butane torch it really was a perfect bite. We even said if we had any room left after our entrees we would order another round for dessert. For entrees, My husband had the Short Rib Pappardelle and he finished every bit. I had a creamy, Seafood Paella which was very good. Excellent quality products and I love that for fine dining they did not at all skimp on portion size. And the service from the Hostesses, to the gracious Managers who walked around and spoke with every table to Sebastian who was so knowledgeable about the menu and helpful. Thanks to everyone at @inti.momiami for providing us with such a great fantastic dining experience in South Beach! #APerfectDay #ilovetravel #DogMom #foodie #tampabayrealtor #GratefulandBlessed #bridget_breland_realtor #Bridgie_Breland_Foodie #yelptampabay #yelpelite #southbeach

Loved the Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese) sushi rolls we shared. Pricey but a really fun date night spot in South Beach. Live music could've been a little better.

I fully expected to scorn South Beach's flashy facades as having more sizzle than substance. But my dinner at INTIMO proved even a scene-y place like this can surprise and delight with a deft kitchen and live musical entertainment to boot. At first glance, INTIMO felt pulled out of a glitzy magazine spread-- all aquamarine and gold hues, underwater themed decor and live violinists playing covers of top 40 hits, which is what made the place feel VERY Miami. Nestled inside these decadent trappings is this excellent Japanese Peruvian restaurant with delicious bites. Skeptical as I was when I arrived, one bite of their sushi rolls and sip of their cocktails had me transfixed in wide-eyed admiration. Far from basic nigiri and sushi pieces, here were some thoughtfully composed plates as much as for savoring as they were for picture taking amidst these see and be seen tables. INTIMO is both an entertainment space and gastronomic contender. It taught me not to judge a restaurant by its cover, or its violinists.

We were seated very quickly (immediately) when we arrived on time for our 8:00pm reservation on a Friday night. Our waitress was thorough, attentive, and very helpful - especially when we had questions on what to order. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned & he expressed, it was the best he had ever tasted. We also ordered water & we were given a choice between flat & sparkling water (bottled in a glass bottle). These were $7/ea I believe. Our food came out very quickly: first, with our appetizer, then the rolls, and then with our duck entree. Everything was cooked well & was hot when it arrived. PULPITO MOCHICA (appetizer) * grilled octopus w/veggies - One of the best things we ordered. - We demolished this dish. It was hot, cooked well, and bursting with flavor EL GECKO DRAGÓN DE GIANTI (roll) * fried shrimp + cream cheese - this was actually my favorite thing that we ate. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. INTI MAKI* (roll) * Salmon sushi + fried shrimp - this roll had truffle oil on it... which took some getting used to, as it's a very strong flavor, but it was still tasty. ARROZ CON PATO A LA CHICLAYANA * Duck (shareable portion) - I was disappointed with the amount of Duck we received in this dish, as from looking at pictures, it looks the regular portion has the same amount of meat. We basically paid double for a large bed of rice and lentils (and we barely ate any of that). - the Duck was cooked well... but not as flavorful as I had hoped. DESSERT * I can't remember for the life of me what it was called... but it was light a fluffy + A massive amount of whipped cream, some fruit, and a cookie made from almonds (or pecans) that melted in my mouth. - But, it was delicious! Ambiance: - it was intimate... but too loud for my taste. - we were seated by the front door where a very skilled instrumental artist was playing... but the instruments (and her) were too close to our table. I couldn't hear what my husband was saying unless he yelled, and the instruments were so close it hurt my ears at time. We would come back during our next trip... but we would request to be seated farther away from the door & the instruments.

Great experience, delicious food, wagyu appetizer cooked over hot rocks at the table was fantastic. Server Sebastian was very attentive and made great recommendations.

When your goddaughter says she wants sushi for dinner. Sushi it is! Closest restaurant was Íntimo so gave it a try since friends have spoken highly about it. Cocktails are strong and that's always a good idea! Ordered different rolls and share among us all. Can't remember the names but some were extremely good while others lacked in flavor. Dessert was definitely the winner and the dulce le leche reminded me of the one I had plenty in Argentina. There's closer sushi places far better than this establishment. Server wasn't very attentive had to keep calling the host to get him to order food/drinks.

We loved this place! The only ding is we felt a bit pressured to purchase cocktails (we had one each) and a sense our waiter was disappointed we didn't order more food. The restaurant wasn't busy, and we were late, 8pm and just not that hungry. Outside of that perfection! Like lick the plate amazing! The flavors were mind blowing! We will be back! Food is excellent, and ambience was amazing!

This place truly blew me away. One of the things that makes a dining experience memorable is not only the food, but the way you are treated from the moment you arrive. They make you feel soooo welcomed and grateful that you are there, which is rare these days. As soon as you sit down, they bring you a small hot towel that smells like orange blossom to clean your hands. It was a very nice touch and water is also being poured at this time. Then they serve you a small of cup of Chilcano which is a fish broth, and they offer you more if you want. We were a table of 7 so they brought a tea pot with more of the broth so we can serve ourselves if we wanted more. We went for the Miami Spice dinner menu and it was amazing! The flavors left us pleasantly surprised and the portions were perfect. Everything we tasted was delicious. Now, just beware that the corkage fee if $50 if you bring your own wine. We didn't ask ahead of time and already had a bottle with us so we went with it but I think it's a bit pricey in my opinion. Either way the service with Orlando (server) was spectacular along with everyone else that assisted our table. Would recommend and will definitely be back. Can't wait to try more amazing dishes!

Absolutely amazing experience! 10 out of 10, 100 out of 100! Starting from the door and finishing with ... the door :) Amazing cocktails, amazing service, ambience, food was top tier. I have nothing else to say but that I loved it from 1 to 100 :)

The service here was amazing. Like absolutely amazing. Our server whose name I unfortunately cannot remember was very attentive and charming. I came here for my birthday and I came back the next day because I could not stop thinking about it. 100000/10

Most incredible meal and service of my life! I definitely hope to be back, it was truly phenomenal.

Upscale Japanese Peruvian restaurant located a few blocks away from the craziness of Collin street in Miami. Food was tasty and well presented but for the price it wasn't quite worth the experience.

One of the best places I've had in Miami hands down and one of the best services I've encountered at a restaurant. Peruvian and Japanese may be one of my favorite fusions now. Ambiance We had arrived at 10, a little before kitchen closing and they welcomed us with open arms and not rushed at all (though we personally did). As soon as we were seated, we were presented with oshibori (hot towels to clean our hands). The water was Evian (my favorite) and we were served with a complimentary fish broth base drink. First time I had it and I enjoyed it. The interior is stunning and I enjoyed their choice of music (light techno). Food We got the Ceviche Avocado (contains mixed sea food in a zesty sauce with avocado pieces). We got Atún sushi bomb, first time I have something like that, and man it was good. We got the J-CH roll which came in a base of sauce that tasted delicious! All of these were recommendations and we loved them! We proceeded with the Aroz Con Pato A La Chiclayana (a duck dish with a cilantro base rice mixed with peas and carrots and a chalaquita salsa and a fried egg to top it off). Delicious. I loved it. The duck was delicious and the rice was splendid. We weren't able to finish the single option but I definitely would recommend the share option if you're very hungry. We had gotten 2 cocktails alongside the food. The Berry Larry and the Pisco Sour with a passion fruit base (the other option was a lychee base). Both were really good. And if you love alcohol, you can definitely taste the alcohol. We ended the meal with the recommended Secreto Del Inca (a French brioche bread submerged in a milky-English sauce served with berries and an ice cream scoop on top). Yummy!! Not a single dish disappointed. In fact, they all exceeded my expectations. Service The service was great. Our waitress Zuliani Nunez was wonderful. She checked on us multiple times, handed me an additional oshitori, was always picking up papers and napkins off the table, aided with recommendations that definitely did not disappoint. And at one point, I had dropped my still wrapped packaged chopsticks on the floor and as I was picking them up, she came from across the restaurant and replaced them for me because they fell. It was definitely service I was impressed with. Roema picked up used utensils, continuously cleaned the table and presented us with new plates for the dessert. Definitely 5 star service. Definitely recommend and definitely a place I will be revisiting.

Franco was amazing with the recommendations and presentation. Amazing food, lovely vibes. Wonderful fine dining experience with great Peruvian Japanese fusion!

The food here was amazing. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and so well presented. Went here for a birthday dinner. The ambiance was intimate even though the restaurant was booked out. The service was great we had a party of 14. They did a great job of getting our orders and brining out the food and drinks. It's a great concept and the sushi was great.

Hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had to date. Our server was patient and the most wonderful host to me and my friends. We came in on a Sunday afternoon - restaurant was mostly empty. Boy were we taken care of and the food was exceptional! Ceviche w/ leche de tigre and the strawberry dessert are a MUST. Also I could bathe in their homemade chilcano soup

Great fusion restaurant but nothing over the top or that sets it apart. Best to pick one cuisine type and master it.

This is the 2nd review I'm writing. We come here every time we visit Miami. The quality of food and service has not changed. This time we had sebastian who was excellent and also had positive interactions with Nico. The food was amazing and we will definitely return again.

Amazing service and totally unique Peruvian Japanese menu. Get a sushi bomb. They are crazy good.

This meal was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Miami. Peruvian and Japanese fusion, the seafood is so fresh and the flavors are all just so amazing. There was not one thing we ordered that we didn't love. I would come back to Miami just to eat here again! This is absolutely a must if you are in south beach. Super unique food choices and flavors. I would sit inside. They have outdoor seating, but the ambiance inside is much nicer. Service was quick. I think our server was new and did try to upsell us on a few things (definitely a pet peeve of mine) but the food was so amazing that we didn't even mind.

It was my 25th Birthday and they had the best service on OCTOBER 12th, & i am from LOS ANGELES. Thank you for the suggestion on the menu & giving me experience! Aesthetic was A+

First of all, my hats go off to the waitress. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and could describe in detail what goes into any item you could possibly order. I had stopped by here for an early dinner and had ordered the following: Salmon Sushi Bomb Atun Sushi Bomb Black Cod Al Miso Inti Maki Roll Ceviche Avocado Paella The Atun Sushi Bomb was the highlight of the dinner. Will definitely have a return visit when I'm in town.

The meal of a lifetime. The ambiance is great. Beautiful restaurant. Food presentation was also beautiful. The clásico ceviche was the best thing I have ever eaten! Franko did an amazing job with helping us choose. The hamachi bomb was interesting and so so good!!

I love this place. The marriage of Japanese flavors/food with Peruvian is so different/smart. Highly recommend any of the sushi bombs. They also have good drinks and the service is very good. Awesome spot!

The food was excellent and the service was fast. Good wine selection. Very nice and relaxed atmosphere

We came here for my cousin's bday! Overall everything was good; however the he service was a bit slow.

We come here every year. The food is great and the staff is wonderful. Everyone treats you well.

Came here for the first time on Mother's Day, Franco took care of us and made it super special for my mom and I. He was able to explain the menu and give recommendations in two languages so everyone felt included. We got started with Franco's recommendation of wine which was Albariño and it was definitely what we were looking for as we wanted something intense with acidity instead of sweet. The food was delicious we got the traditional ceviche, oysters and octopus tiradito as appetizer. For the kids we got fish and chips (real fish) which comes with a portion of rice so is very filling. As main course we got acevichado roll, salmon misa and seafood cau cau Can't recommend enough this place and Francos service, can't wait to be back.

Top notch service. Inventive cocktails. Tasty food , we tried many different dishes. Don't skip the suspiro for dessert - a big enough portion to share !

Best friends reunited in south Florida for an upscale yet casual, intimate dining experience. The service was superb, and we would go back again and again if we traveled back. After a deliciously tart and refreshing passion fruit cocktail, and Peruvian inspired pisco sour we enjoyed fabulous appetizers and celebrated friendship. We all indulged in different entrees and got to try each others dish. 10/10 and service was 1000/10.

The place is located in South of Fifth in South Beach, great ambience, place looks like a living room, the bar offers some great drinks with premium ingredients. The service was superior each server was happy to see us and gave us an amazing energy. The menu is Japanese Peruvian, they offer some of the traditional Peruvian dishes as well as some fusion dishes, the best was the sushi bombs. A mix of different flavors that melts in your mouth. The bill was around $300 not cheap but also not super expensive.

Honestly everything was Amazing!!! Food was delicious, decadent & just perfect! Service was to the nines from the time you arrive at the entrance time you leave where at the exit they took a beautiful family picture for us. Comfortable seating ( sat inside too hot to be outdoors ) & ambiance was perfect for a late lunch which I am sure would be even nicer at night with dimmed lighting. All in all it was an Excellent time & will be visiting again to try some other menu items and renew the experience. You are in for an ultimately positive experience.

Our group had dinner at Intimo our last night in Miami! Franco is/was the best host. He was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations especially for those of us that had dietary restrictions. We will definitely go back! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Our favorite restaurant in all of Miami and I just moved here from DC where we have tons of amazing Peruvian restaurants this place is up there.

Ambiance and service are good. I was very disappointed with the food. Every dish was over complicated with too many ingredients to the point where you don't know what it is The only good dish was the miso cod. The restaurant is very pricey and totally NOT worth it

The food was was out of this world. Highly recommend the ceviche neikei, in.tiko maki roll, and finishing dinner with the pavlova. The service was outstanding. Gabriella was attentive and gave excellent recommendations for food and libations. Five stars across the board. Photo features a fantastic classic Old Fashioned.
