Osteria

My favorite restaurant in Miami. I’ve tried something different every time I come and everything is absolutely delicious. Today we tried the Dover Sole and wwwwwooooow, best fish I’ve ever had. A lot of plates have their own spectacle when they serve you which makes it a great experience. The atmosphere is always top. Very cute date spot as well as for celebrating with friends.

Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants in Miami! I came here to celebrate a special occasion and couldn’t have made a better choice. The food was phenomenal, from the seasoning to the plating, everything was prepared with care and excellence.A special highlight goes to the Antepasto Dell’Osteria, a one-of-a-kind appetizer I haven’t found anywhere else. The fig and gorgonzola pasta was also outstanding, with a perfect balance of flavors, and the lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful.The service was flawless .5 stars to our waitress Norelys, who patiently explained every dish and helped me choose options that were lactose-free, including the dessert! Her attention made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something exclusive, flavorful, and full of care. You definitely won’t regret it!

The food is incredible. The person that greeted us is from Florence so that gave me high hopes. The pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly. The service was great. Our only negative is they have outdoor dining too and leave the doors open so it’s very hot in the dining room. Other than that, the food truly does bring you back to Italy!

This hidden gem in Miami was out of this world delicious. Everything we had from the bread to the gold beet salad to the duck ravioli, swordfish and cacio e pepe was top notch. The staff was great as well.

Our server was Catalina and she did a great job! Very knowledgeable and the food was divine. I ordered the fig ravioli in Gorgonzola sauce and it was one of the richest things I’ve tasted. We also ordered the burrata caprese, eggplant, and meatballs as appetizers and they were all divine. It cracked me up when they asked if we wanted to see the specials and they carried over a gigantic chalk board. Super fun, didn’t feel rushed, food came on time. Will be going again

I had an amazing experience at Osteria! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made our visit exceptional, though, was our server, Carolina. She was incredibly attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had such a friendly, welcoming energy. Carolina made sure we had everything we needed and even offered great recommendations that we ended up loving. It’s rare to find service that feels both genuine and professional — Carolina struck that perfect balance. She truly elevated our dining experience, and we’ll definitely be back (and asking for her again!). Highly recommend this place — great food, great vibe, and outstanding service

Have never had a bad time here. The food is amazing, a tiramisu to die for and the service can’t be beat. Our server, Carolina B, was so attentive. Walked us through some suggestions and answered all our questions about the plates. Have this spot saved for date nights.

Wow! The best Italian food I've had outside of Italy (and honestly, pretty comparable to Italy, except for a couple of my favorite spots). The beef carpaccio is amazing, the service is spectacular (Christian is there all the time and makes sure you feel taken care of), and the fish (and pasta) are really really great. We've had both the caramel dessert and the chocolate lava cake, and I can't decide which is better. They're both great.

This place was AMAZING!! Right when you walk in, you can feel the Italian vibes and the owner greets you with wine/prosecco. The ravioli, cheese wheel pasta, appetizers, lamb chops--absolutely everything had fantastic flavor. The owner and waiter kept checking in on our table and this was the case for every table. We tried at least 10 different things from the menu (pictures below) and everything was amazing. Owner was raised in Italy and takes pride in bringing the Italian vibe and hospitality to this restaurant! You need to eat here for an authentic Italian night out.

BEST ITALIAN FOOD I'VE HAD SINCE ITALY. I will say, I've had the same dishes in Italy, and it's exactly the same! Very authentic, excellent service, and the food was spectacular! The cottoletta alla milanese was to die for, the tiramisu was perfect, and the atmosphere was very chic with low lights. This is a must in Miami!

Had New Years dinner at Osteria with our son daughter in law and grandson and as always everything was wonderful. They had live music and it was very busy but very well organized. Our waitress was Barbara and she was wonderful she was knowledgeable about the menu and asked all the right questions. The ambiance was festive and everything ran beautifully. Our food as always was wonderful everyone had something different and the Chef Fabrizio even made great accommodations for my grandson's meal. This time I did take a picture of my pasta dish it's as tasty as it is pretty. If you have not tried Osteria you need to do yourself a favor and add it to your restaurant bucket list for 2024.

Osteria is a hidden gem in Miami. The restaurant is much larger inside than it appears from the street-- there are at least 3 large rooms. The decor transported me back to Tuscany, which is where the manager is from. Service was friendly and helped us decide what to order. The fig ravioli is not to be missed-- I was with the Gorgonzola sauce perfectly complementing the sweet and textured fig. The eggplant parm was large and the best I've ever had--suuuuper cheesy in the best way. The gnocchi was great too, but next time I'd try the cacio e pepe which came served from a huge cheese wheel and smelled delectable from other people's tables. Their wine selection was well curated and well priced. I highly recommend and will return many times.

Great place for a romantic date night. Food was delicious, we thanks Paulo for giving us the best service.

Amazing food, great ambiance, and fantastic service! Came with friends from out of town and had a great time! Got the lobster ravioli. Picture does not do the justice of how good the flavors were. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner. Pablo was our server and was fantastic. Great wine rec too

Outstanding Performance: Service, Food & Quality! We had the veal Chop, parpadelle w/ossobuco, & Eggplant mozzarella! Remarkably delicious and outstanding value. If you are craving for the best Sicilian cuisine give it a try!

This place was amazing the food was to die for. When we were greated at the door they also had champagne off the tap while they prepared our table. Told us about all the specials and hooked us up with a nice desert for our Aniversary. Would Deff return to this place.

The food was delicious. Service was exceptional. Love the ambience, nice and cozy. Best tiramisu by far!!!

Unlikely location on Biscayne Blvd to feel like you are in Italy at a Tuscan restaurant. Spacious and charming with an outdoor section too. The family who owns this place is from Italy and the dishes are prepared in true Italian style . Since my family comes from Italy I really appreciate the homemade pasta with truffles and a dash of nostalgia. Service was great too.

I hosted a group of 8 local executives as part of our supper club. This restaurant came recommended so we wanted to give it a try. Here is a recap of my "customer journey": I was not able to get a hold of anyone at the restaurant in advance of our reservation: I tried email, instagram - zero response. This should have been a red flag. The restaurant is located on Biscayne Blvd with a parking lot right in front. They charge $5 valet for leaving your car in the parking spot (also attendant is making sure you don't forget to tip him. Zero English but that he knows how to ask for the tip). Ambience is 5 stars - beautifully decorated and pleasant music. We got a very nice table - grateful! Service was prompt and attentive - grateful! Food - this is one thing I won't go back for. The only thing was worth noting was veal appetizer. The rest - octopus, fritura mista and even caprese (how do you mess up sliced tomatoes? By serving tomato that's green inside and supermarket quality), pasta, branzino - all were bad to mediocre. Sorry, Chef, it was not restaurant quality, I make better at home. Value - overpriced menu - $66 dollar fish with no side? You kidding? I'd rather go to Cipriani. Overall, not worth coming back to. There are plenty of great Italian restaurants in Miami. Osteria did not differentiate itself in a good way.

We came for my sister's birthday and the attention and service were just amazing. My first time here and everything was just perfect, we tried an appetizer burrata and carpaccio, and was delicious, for the main plate I tried the branzino perfectly cooked, fresh, and flavored. A good selection of wine and ambiance was excellent. Everything we tried was good and tasty and not just the food but the attention at the table was flawles

Everything about this restaurant was perfection. From the moment we walked in we were greeted kindly and the service was on point the entire night. They recommended we try the Fig raviolis which were amazing. The burrata appetizer, the Taglio e Pepe, and the table made Tiramisu were out of this world. The restaurant was beautiful and very authentic and a great spot to celebrate with friends. Will definitely be back...it was worth the drive from the Kendall area.

Absolutely loved everything. From the moment we arrived valet took the car and we were greeted by literally the nicest staff. I had a slight hiccup because I failed to mention I came with a stroller;however, he accommodated us perfectly. We had to wait for a few minutes for our new table to be ready which was still fine with me because he handed us a complimentary glass wine. Not only was it the perfect table for a mom and a stroller but we were also celebrating my brothers 17th birthday. The ambiance is so calming and definitely gives you an Italian feel. Food was absolutely delicious!! Service was exceptional. Definitely will return.

Food was amazing. The ambiance was very relaxing. Perfect location for group dinner party they serve family style dishes for large groups. Lamb was amazing, polenta with mushrooms, salad, and potatoes.

Osteria has great food, great service, great ambiance, and a great location in MiMo - Christian took excellent care of us - we will definitely be back!

We went with a party of 15. We had a section to ourselves which was nice. The food was good. It all tasted great. The only problem was that the food all came at different times. There were some people completely finished with their meals and others that their food hadn't even been brought. They had no organization with that portion. When it was time to pay, they could not separate the bill. Not even into little parties so that it would be easier and faster. That part took very long. Once we were all done, the valet was also a problem. There was no organization outside. There were cars being brought and the owners were not even there or not paying attention. Overall, not a place I'd go back to. Was the food ok, yes, but wasn't happy with the whole experience.

Excellent food I will recommend it % and the owner makes you feel at home, great service and wonderful atmosphere, absolutely must go restaurant in Miami

After passing by Osteria on my way to work, I finally decided to give it a try. It was a Friday night and we made a reservation prior, the parking situation is not ideal since there is limited street parking and parking in front of the restaurant... but there is valet which is $5 so it's not so bad. Let's just say that the moment you enter, we were treated with a friendly smile from the front desk. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the lighting is dim, intimate and perfect for date night. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Now let's talk about the service, which I have to mention is exceptional. The waiter and staff were always attentive and made sure that we were always taken care of. As for the food, I already had my eye on the cheese wheel pasta that passed by us to other tables so I was already set on what I was going to order. Also, who isn't a sucker for a good cheese wheel? Talk about dinner and a show! The pasta came with truffle shavings which gave a strong, rich taste... let's just say it's still memorable to this day and I just want to come back and try other menu items! I recommend giving this place a try!

Wanted Italian and stumbled upon this place. Service was great- almost too good as I felt a bit rushed/bothered by how much the servers were coming around but they never left the wine or water glasses empty! Cudos there. Seemed very traditional Italian in ambiance, menu, and wines. It was also extremely fairly priced- the bottle of wine we had was only $45 which is unheard of in Miami. We had the octopus to start- it was salty and tender on a bed of hummus and chickpeas which I thought was strange but they complimented each other well with texture and flavor. The pasta was fresh and handmade. We had bucatini with pomodoro sauce (not on the menu but I just wanted a simple red sauce and they accommodated which was nice) and it was fine but I honestly think Raos bottled marinara is better. It was a bit sweet and lacking flavor. We also had the mushroom bucatini pasta in a creamy Parmesan sauce. You definitely need to like mushrooms to like this pasta but it was done well. And I almost forgot- the best part was the bread with olive oil that they brought to start!

Had dinner, ordered the pasta no hole and it was like eating salt, they blamed the clams and brought me a pasta with meat, this was ok but not what I wanted! And it was more expensive than the first plate. Any decent restaurant would have comp my plate and apologize! Neither happened!!! Not a good experience!

Came here for a celebration and sat on their outdoor patio. It was semi enclosed with some air conditioning which was much appreciated! Very romantic vibe and nice and quiet. The food was spectacular. The table side presentation of the cacio e Pepe was really fun (swirled in a big cheese wheel) as well as the tiramisu which was played at the table. (Hands down the best I've ever had.) The only missing part for me (esp when your spending this kind of money) was the personal touch. The waiter seemed rushed, and so was vibe of the restaurant. I got confused trying to find the bathroom and multiple staff flew by me while i tired to flag them down for help. It's just those extra touches that give the 5-star experience ya know? It would have been nice to say we were celebrating something. I'd come back for the food!

It's a beautiful little place, easy parking, with friendly staff. Food was great yet a bit of a disappointment as we expected the pictures advertised on their Instagram and other social medias, however the portion sizes did not match at all. We ordered true grilled octopus and it was a few pieces of octopus vs a full tentacle. However must say food was tasty.

I enjoyed Osteria so much I came two nights in a row. From what I gathered, pasta is the star of the show together with the daily special menu items. We tried: Spaghetti alle Vongole 5/5 - excellent Bucatini all'amatriciana 5/5 - best I've had outside of Rome Taglioni cacio e pepe con tartufo nero 5/5! - perfection Gnocchi tomato basil 4.5/5 - simple, great dish Branzino 4/5 NY strip 4/5 Baby octopus in tomato sauce 3.5/5 - was a little salty Caprese 5/5 Tiramisù 100/5 - I'm sometimes sus about the table side prep cause there's no time for the lady fingers to soak but it's actually perfect. You get a crunch here and there and the mascarpone, the key to a good tiramisu, is heaven The service and atmosphere is warm and friendly. Beautifully quaint and cozy decor making it feel like a true Italian Osteria. They only serve beer and wine as a true Osteria as well. I'll be back soon!

We were so excited to finally try Osteria. The restaurant had great vibes and service is very friendly. Overall a great time. The wines we had were great. Unfortunately the food was not at the same level. We had shared 8 or so dishes and the 4 of the desserts. We had overcooked steak. Over cooked pasta. Overcooked shrimp. Watery tiramisu. A lot of issues that were not up to par to the service, atmosphere and prices. Presentation of some of the menu items were very festive. They have valet parking with reasonable price, 5$.

Amazing, authentic Italian. We went there two times on our trip. We will definitely go back every time we visit Miami!

The service was amazing!!! I loved the cacio e Pepe with black truffle was super good. Definitely will return.

Ambiance and service are stellar but the food was disappointing. The Cacio e Pepe was watery and lacked a cheese flavor and a pepper flavor as well. The shaved truffles on top were delicious but I can't recommend a dish solely on a garnish. We where a table of 5 and not one person was called to remark on anything being tasty till desert. I will say the Tiramisu lived up to the hype and was spectaclar but one itm out 7 is a fail.

My friend and I were going to a complete different restaurant when we drove by this place. The restaurant we were going to ended up to be closed so turned around and decided to give this place a shot. We weren't disappointed! Parking is street or valet. We got lucky with street parking so not sure of the Valet price. The inside is decorated so warm and nice. We didn't have reservations so got seated outside, which was really cute as well, unfortunately you have the noise of the street even though you don't see it. So definitely making a reservation next time. Menu is small but perfect in my opinion. We had an idea of what we wanted but heard the specials of the night and confused us because we wanted it all! We had the zucchini florets special, delicious! I had the fig ravioli with Gorgonzola and prosciutto. So many flavors! Delicious! Definitely going back and taking more friends!

Su pasta es auténtica, su servicio es inigualable y el ambiente del lugar es muy tranquilo para pasar una tarde con tu familia, amigos o pareja! Súper impecable su servicio.

The Parmigiana di Melanzane dello Chef didn't quite hit the mark for me. It didn't become a personal favorite, perhaps due to personal taste preferences. On a brighter note, the Linguine ai frutti di mare was a tasty choice. The combination of seafood and pasta was well-executed, resulting in a flavorful dish that satisfied my palate. But the true highlight of the meal was the Tagliolini cacio e Pepe with shaved truffle. This dish was an absolute delight, with the flavors perfectly balanced and the addition of truffle adding a luxurious touch. It left a lasting impression and was a definite standout.

Great place, we order the tuna carpaccio, the ribeye and the panacotta with berries for dessert!! Service was very good!

Wow!!! Food was delicious, ambiance was amazing and the service was fantastic. Said hi to the owner, seems like a genuinely nice person and the waiter told us the chef was from Rome. All of the dishes we had were perfect.

Had dinner last evening The food was amazing & delicious! Everything that we ordered was fresh and excellent! They make everyone feel very special ! The staff were lovely! They really try very hard to make everyone happy!

Great ambience and service. The food and the staff were amazing. Highly recommended. Only drawback is that parking is a bit limited so you either park on the street nearby or use their onsite valet.

Beautiful place with great food and service . Prizes are very reasonable for the quality of food.

It is an amazing restaurant. The food and the atmosphere deserve the five starts our waitress gave us a pleasant and very cordial treatment

10/2/22: UODATE, Angelo the restaurant mgr contacted me directly via phone and profusely apologized for the experience and asked I return for a chance to rectify experience. Even gave me his personal cell. I'm updating rating from 1 to 3 for now. 9/30/22: I came to this restaurant tonight based on an instagram post by @miami.foodiez advertising how great it was. They were raving about the cacio e pepe pasta and the tiramisu. I went w 2 friends. The place itself is alright - since it was a last minute res literally before arriving, they didn't have any tables inside and we sat at the 'patio' outside - which ironically was a much more charming setting and didn't smell funky like the inside of the restaurant. Given that it was 8:30p, temp outside was very nice so it was enjoyable (if you didn't sit under one of the 2 full speed ceiling fans making both u and your dinner cold - thankfully we were in between) - that's where most of the enjoyable experience ended. We all opted for the Miami Spice dinner menu at $45 for 3 courses since it had the cacio e pepe that had prompted our visit. Since there were 3 options for the apps and the desserts, and it was 3 of us, we each picked one of the 3 choices in each of these sections to try them. I'm going to rate this restaurant at the level that is supposed to be. From the apps, we had the Calamari (not the regular menu option w shrimp etc), Antipasto Delli Osteria (prosciutto & burrata cheese?), and the eggplant parmigiana. The calamari was somewhat standard, nothing noteworthy about it, except it had the heavy fried oil flavor, not what I expect from a nice place. The prosciutto platter the same. Nothing noteworthy. Neither here nor there. The eggplant parmigiana, on the other hand, was an entree onto itself and totally delicious, specially if you force the waiter to shred some fresh parm on top (I say force because he never offered anything throughout the whole meal other than the bottled water to start). This app can be your entree and you'd be happy - it's thinly sliced and wrapped into a cone shape. I don't like eggplant anything and this is the only thing we tried tonight I might actually consider returning for. I don't generally like red sauces in the U.S. but this red sauce was OK (not exceptional), but that's already a big compliment from me The BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT not just of the night, but out of all the cacio e pepes I've ever had, was the ONE DISH we drove out of our way for. It couldn't have been a more innocuous and bland dish - it had a flavor reminiscent of a lightly soapy solution. Plus it had ZERO salt (or maybe it did, but I was so bad we had to pour the salt shaker in it and it still kept needing more). I had to ask for some grated parm on mine to make palatable, and even then I could only take a few spoonfuls before I gave up. Both of my friends opined the same. They had to ask for pepper flakes (I know, let's not go there) to get through it. I told our waiter that it was horrible when (after a long time of not ever coming to the table to check on us or serve us water) he asked if I wanted to take mine home - One of 2 friends will eat anything if you make it spicy enough and ate his dish and that of the other friend (shameful, I know). Waiter said he'd tell the manager about my disappointment, but if he ever did, the manager never came. In the table next to us, another couple had ordered the same and they complained and sent it back - not sure if for same reasons. Manager did come and talked to them. Desserts were the Apple Crumble, Tiramisu (one of IG recommendations) and a puff pastry. Puff pastry should be skipped at all cost. Tiramisu was the better choice, but it's overwhelming w the very heavy cream, so keep it mind. Again, not what I expect for a nice restaurant. We didn't dare waste time asking for coffee so we left after dessert. SERVICE: was spotty at best. Our orders were quickly taken, and drinks were quick to arrive, but waiter only served the Pellegrino bottled water to one of our friends and not the other. He never came to check if entrées were good. And I had to flag him down to replenish our water (only other time he served the one glass of water was as aforesaid, when we sat down). Oh! to start, when we sat down, they serve you a small amuse bouche: a tiny ball of potato and branzino, but it just tasted oily and had barely any fish taste. Cutlery service was a bit haphazard - they served us varying size forks and plates but not in the cute 'family restaurant' intentional kind-of-way, but seemed more like I either don't care or don't know any better way. Like most places that people rave about, I just COULDN'T find anything where I could say that this restaurant is 'better than average' for this type of restaurant. Best of luck!

This place has gone down hill. Poor service and the food quality has vanished. I deeply regret my visit.

I've been her a couple of times and its always a great experience for me. Everything is so good, service.. food, drinks, this place deserves a michelin star. Definitely a hidden gem!! The tiramisu is a MUST try, nothing compares to the food here.

Dios mío I've never had such an amazing plate from a restaurant and great pricing !! Don't miss out on the cheese wheel it's MUYYYY DELICIOUSNESS!... even tho I wish for a better experience, maybe next time ! Service is a okay maybe it was a long day !! Ambience is nice only downfall is the parking other than that it's good.

We did return last night with friend and had high expectations. They were certainly met. The food and ambiance were excellent as expected. I normally do one review when something is exceptional but had to do two for this restaurant. if you go there, you will not be disappointed.

Easily my favorite Italian restaurant in Miami! Consistent great service, and food. Discovered my favorite wine here, favorite lasagna, favorite appetizer! The whipped ricotta with prosciutto and breadsticks makes me breathe heavily just thinking about it. The lasagna is made with a bechamel sauce so it's very rich and creamy! They have this moscato (don't judge me) that is just pure sweet satin in your mouth. The tiramisu is made at your table with fresh whipped cream and the whole dish is just perfect balance of sweetness without being so overly sweet that you just remembered about that cavity. The ambiance is cozy but very classy and refined. I'll of course be back.

Quaint restaurant in Miami. We were attracted by the reviews and great word of mouth. Decor and atmosphere were great, place was packed, we had a reservation at 8:30pm and were promptly seated. Service was fast and with a smile but spotty and "robotic" ( a mere declaration of what's on the menu and that night's specials). The food was fresh but lacked flavor and/or something with a punch or a wow factor. the presentation was just OK, Pricey. Some dishes were absurdly costly... All in all, it was a good experience (not a great experience, just a good experience). Bon Appétit!

Best Italian ever! Love it! The service is also amazing, we have gone many times with friends and with family! They offer a small place for private events!

Hidden gem in North Miami Beach! They have a parking lot and there is also street parking. I absolutely love this resrestaurant. Everything on the menu that I have tried has been excellent. My favorites are the veal milanese, Cacio e pepe, and the table side tiramisu

The ambiance was really nice, very low key, some people were dressed nicely, some very casual. Didn't matter! The service is top notch. The place was busy on a Saturday night and they were fully staffed and appeared to love what they do. The food was perfect. I can't say anything else that describes it better than that. Perfect.

This place is a gem ! It has a nice, intimate decor/ ambiance. Every single item we ordered was delicious from apps to dessert drinks. The service was great as well. Will definitely go back!

This place was beyond amazing. The service was outstanding and staff were all friendly. I love Caice e pepe and I always try it when I go to Italian spots & this one did not disappoint. We sat outside in the patio where they had plants hanging from the ceiling & the ambiance was nice. I highly recommend.

I would always drive by this restaurant and notice the parking lot was always packed. Finally my husband and I met our friends there for dinner. We were greeted by the host while we waited for our friends to arrive. Complimentary sparkling wine to start as we enjoyed the cute romantic ambiance. We were seated indoors and it was quite romantic. Perfect for a date night! It's a place you want to spend house drinking wine and eating delicious pasta. Calamari to start was perfectly crispy. My steak was ok nothing memorable. My husband ordered a special for the night which was the truffle cacio e pepe and it was amazing. Overall the pasta dishes were a win for the whole table.
