The food is excellent! I have lived in Italy and I’m well traveled person. The gnocchi was the best I’ve ever had. It was chef’s special with crab meat on op of it. The softest gnocchi ever!! Just melting in your mouth. Pasta from the cheese bowl is also spectacular. Definitely recommend and will be coming back again.

We enjoyed the most fabulous meal at Palat celebrating our friend’s birthday! The setting, both inside and out is charming and welcoming. The food is the best Italian we have had in Miami; it’s other worldly!! The staff was so friendly and present. Someone was always close making sure we had everything we need. We want to give a special shout out to Alexander- who was so helpful and attentive, and helped us choose a fantastic bottle of white! We cannot wait to go back, especially for the grilled calamari, the fresh pastas and their desserts!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This was my first time dining at Palat and I will definitely be back. Came in to try the Miami spice menu for lunch and the food was unbelievable! So much flavor and the seasoning was spot on. Our server Leo and his helper gave us great service and recommendations. A+++

What a restaurant! Best place in a long time. Palat is busy for a reason... It is really good! We came here after looking for a new restaurant in the area to try and it was the best decision we could have made. We waited for like 35 minutes for a table since we didn't have a reservation but it was little after 9 pm and they told us they could sit us outside. Eventhough they had some open tables inside... I don't know what the procedure is... but we were glad we could try this place. After being seated at their outdoor area, which is actually nice but, no additional ventilation other than the Miami humid breeze in July... we were promptly greeted by our waiter which was super attentive and efficient. We order a couple of bottles of wine and for appetizers We decided to get grilled calamari (superb), and the tuna tartare which was outstanding. Everything comes with complimentary bread and delicious olive oil. Main course dishes were also very good... the grill Jumbo shrimp and the seafood linguini were probably the best of what we had but not to far behind were caccio e pepe and linguini vongole. Really.... everything was DELICIOUS. This is for sure a restaurant that I will be coming back soon and hopefully with a reservation for the inside tables... (God Bless air conditioning). Prices are very reasonable and parking situation is hard. I would say your only choice is to valet once there. But... keep in mind that they have a limited size valet service. Some make it ... some don't! But definitely worth the effort.

Beautiful place. There is parking behind (they told is as I had missed it). We we're sat at 2:45, and presented the dinner menu - despite having seen a chalkboard oitside that said lunch was served 11 - 3:30. I told the waiter that looks like we got dinner menues, that I was expecting lunch. He doubled down -- we left with a bad taste in our mouth and 0 interest in returning. 1 star! My wife arranged :| for a dinner with friends. Food was excellent. 5 stars! We went back. Most of the food was excellent.. 3 stars.

Outdoor seating. Ok service. Outdoor area very spread out and comfy. It’s very hot during the day. We had burrata and tuna for appetizers. The lasagna was the best option for pasta, it was the best pasta for us. The spaghetti alla vongole was tasteless, the linguini di mare as well. Bucatini amatriciana was weak. The tiramisu 👎🏻. The pistachio and chocolate ice cream was simply bad. Pasta was decent. Tips not included. A bit pricey for the value received.

I finally had an opportunity to try this place and was not disappointed. We came in a big group for lunch and ordered family style (the plates are large). We tried the octopus, branzino, garden salad with chicken, caccio e pepe, and the appetizer special which was an assortment of raw fish including branzino, salmon, and tuna. The caccio e pepe was delicious and the perfect plate to share across a group of 5, allowing everyone to order another entree as well 😋. The branzino was also very tasty. The raw fish was good but not our favorite part of the meal. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated inside, but we chose to sit outside as the day was not too hot and there was plenty of shade. I can see the restaurant having more romantic vibes for dinner, making it a nice option for a date.

Palat is always incredible to come back to ! I had Miami spice menu ! Great choice ! Super delicious ! I had cheese wheel truffle pasta - amazing and must have ! You won’t regret it. It’s something you would have to pay extra from Miami spice but it’s 100% worth it. Great time ! Thank you!

I ate here over the weekend and the service was outstanding! We were seated immediately upon arrival, and given bread and oil as soon as we sat. I tried the prosciutto burrata appetizer, and it was mouth watering! It wasn't too heavy, and came with colorful fresh tomatoes hidden under the flatbread, which made me feel slightly less unhealthy!! For main dishes, we both ordered the cacio de pepe, which was honestly so so GOOD!! The black truffle was the perfect accompaniment to this dish! I'm so glad I had some leftovers to take home with me! 5 stars!

JUST OK. Came in on Thursday night and the restaurant was empty! Very difficult to find parking. Alot of the streets are residential and permit required. Made reservations for my bday and that wasn't acknowledged at all. Just as someone else had mentioned about there wedding anniversary. Very odd. We ordered a Caesar salad to start and it was ok nothing special. Thought they would offer pepper on there salads because it seemed like that type of place but they did not. They brought me a small ramekin of cheap pepper. The Black Linguini Con Granchio was amazing the star of the show. So delicious and flavorful. As for the Tagolini "Cacio E Pepe" that people rave about it was sooo salty and had no pepper flavor. Service was attentive but not personable all business. ;( Will not be back

Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and to check out Palat for the first time. We went with the Miami Spice 2022 menu for dinner. Three courses for $45. Lots of options to choose from and the portions were more than generous. Service was impeccable! Very friendly,and attentive staff.

Good spot for Italian food in Midtown area. I was a huge fan of my bucatini amatriciana. Although the rest of my group didnt love their dishes as much as me, everyone was satisfied Ambiance was very nice too!

Been here twice. It's a solid option for the area, if you're a small party in search of a good Italian dinner with a nice ambience. Went with a large group, and they messed up our order several times. As I said the food was good, but think I'll keep it to smaller parties if I were to return. P.s. only serve beer and wine, no liquor

My friend and I went to Palat for lunch a few weeks ago, for Miami Spice. We were both excited about trying it since we'd heard such good things. The spice is bright and inviting, despite the gloomy weather outside. To start, we shared the EGGPLANT CROSTINI and the GRILLED OCTOPUS. The octopus was pretty good, but the crostini wasn't so much a crostini as it was a piece of barely toasted bread with some eggplant smeared on top. That appetizer wasn't tasty at all. We were disappointed. For our entrees, we had the LASAGNA and the TAGLIOLINI CACIO & PEPE. The lasagna was very good. The tagliolini was excellent. For our desserts, we shared the CHOCOLATE TEMPTATION and the RICOTTA CHEESECAKE. The cheesecake was very very good, but the chocolate temptation stole the show. After lunch we had coffee, which was good. I think they serve Kimbo. The service at Palat was good. Although they seemed a little overwhelmed, they were eager to please.

Once again, Also Lamberti and his team served delicious and authentic Italian fare. They never go wrong with the Pappardelle Ossobuco. Ernesto, as always, provided excellent service.

While looking for a new place to try in Miami, we decided to come to Palat. I will honestly tell you it did not disappoint. The caccio pepe was divine!! The best I have had in years! My husbands meal was equally exquisite. This is definitely a must go to spot. Parking is a bit tough, Uber or lift is the best option because their valet fills up quickly. Call restaurant because they give you a voucher for lift. It's a hidden gem with great food and great service.

The place is lovely. Very stylish and c omfortable. There is, however, no parking. Service is excellent, the menu is great. We came for lunch and ordered the spaghetti à la vongole and the fried seafood platter. Both looked amazing, I've included photos. The pasta was excellent, great flavor, very fresh and the clams were cooked just right. The fried seafood, however, left much to be desired. It was all very dry, especially the shrimp and the salmon. You couldn't taste the calamari. I was very disappointed. But this is a nice place if you pick the right thing from the menu. Not sure if I'll try it again.

Favorite place when I went to visit Miami! Parking: We took a Lyft to this location so I'm not sure how parking is. I would recommend Lyft though because after eating and drinking at this place, it'll mellow you out. Venue: They had both indoor and outdoor seating. Miami weather permitted this even in December! The lighting is very low and the music creates such a romantic ambiance. There was hand sanitizer on each table as well throughout the restaurant! Service: Extraordinary service!!! I was so pleased to see how organized and helpful EVERYONE was. Each server moved as a unit and helped amongst all the tables. My glass was never empty and I never had dirty plates/silverware pile up on my table. We were checked on frequently (but not annoyingly). Food: The food was so delicious. My mouth is watering now just remembering how good and hot it was. The eggplant parmigiana was so yummy! (10/10) My boyfriend had the lasagna and loved every bit of it (10/10). We came to eat here for our anniversary dinner and I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in Miami. *** Staff wore gloves, masks***

You know... I still don't know how this happens. Somewhere amazing exists in my neighborhood and I just have not heard about it... how does this continue to happen? I found Palat by total accident just running some Yelp searches looking for "Open Now" when sourcing some lunch options for me and a friend. Palat popped up and I was intrigued immediately! The weather was SO SO perfect out that the fact they had great outdoor seating options threw them to the top of the list. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable as much as anyone could hope. The food. The food was on point, the presentation was on point. I cannot wait to return. Is there a HH? No idea, but I plan to find out

Yummy! My friend and were looking to grab a quick bite and a drink - Palat was on the way. I can't comment about entire menu but the two things we tried were actually better than expected. Calamari appetizer ($20) seemed pricey but it was justified given the size - it's enough for 2. Panacotta (with mango) was delicious. The service was fantastic - we particularly enjoyed speaking with Ilya, who even treated us with sweets from his home country Belarus. We will be back!

To invite someone who wanted Italian Seafood, a quick Yelp Search around the midtown area brought us to this relatively hidden gem. It is on the pricier side, but in this instance thankfully you do get what you pay for. I have zero complaints for all of the dishes pictured and I do highly recommend this place for a great social outing centered around delicious food. The waiters and staff were also very courteous and banter-friendly. Eat up!

Wow, this place is pretty spot on. I've walked or cycled by it 100 times and never thought of stopping in, but I'm glad I finally did. I was doing a long bike ride in the morning and wanted to carb up, so we kept it mainly focused on the pasta. To begin, the matchstick friend zucchini was light, crispy and addictive, followed by one of the better Caesar's salads I've had in a long time. Cacio e Pepe is a bit of an elevated version, with a $29 price tag to match, but very delicious. Tossed in a small wheel of Parmesan and combined with fresh-shaved black truffles, it was delicious and fun to watch. Their lasagna was excellent, layered with a delicious bolognese sauce...extremely flavorful. For dessert, the homemade tiramisu was perfect. The wine list was varied with some good choices. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly. Altogether, all 5 dishes we had were superb. I highly recommend stopping by for dinner or lunch.

I've been halfway around the world , and I keep getting surprised by Great Foods everywhere. Awesome customer service and waitstaff. If you're ever on Biscayne Blvd, drop in with a reservation and Enjoy.... P.S. Ambiance was set with perfect lighting for a beautiful time.

My wife and I thought this place opened up at 11, so we stopped by around 11:30 and it was closed. They still let us in and got us water and a glass of wine while we waited for the kitchen to open. Everyone was super friendly and the natural floral decor was Beautiful. Food was delicious and the panacotta was amazing. Our waiter Marcos noticed we were looking for shoes and gave us a great recommendation for a local shop that we checked out right after. Super happy with this place and will be back

We went for lunch back in mid January after going to the museums and shops in the area. It is a very pleasant ambience with open doors to the street but flowers and plants in the way so you don't feel like you were on the street at one end. Service was fantastic by Salvatore. We had the grilled calamari which was tender and nicely flavored with garlic and lemon. We also had a beef carpaccio and a buccatini amatriciana. Both were excellent, the carpaccio very fresh and the pasta intensely flavored. There were so many delicious sounding items on the menu we had trouble deciding. It certainly isn't low cost by any means but well worth the price.

My first time here was absolutely amazing we went during Miami spice and the menu they had was such a good price. The first time I went I had the chefs special of the day which was a lobster pasta. It was good but once I tried the cacio e Pepe I was blown away. It was so cheesy and just delicious. My boyfriend ordered the papperdelle all' ossobuco and he loves it. The caramel cheesecake is the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life. It's so fluffy and made with such good quality ingredients. The middle is similar to a lava cake and the caramel falls down. It's so delicious and definitely a must after your meal. We catch ourselves telling almost everyone we can about this place. It's such a cute date night spot.

Palat is very charming, full of delicious food and amazing service with a great vibe. The staff was so kind and accommodating. We sat outside and it was so lovely. I noticed that they put so much effort and thought into the menu. They have the best specials! Definitely try the Cacio e Pepe, it's comes out table side. I also recommend the tuna tartare. It's balanced and delicious. This spot feels cozy and homey. Give it a try if you have not!

Great first experience at Palat!!! We were riding around town when I saw this beautiful restaurant and remembered it was on my bookmarks for a while now. We visited during lunch time on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was not busy and we were immediately greeted by Bryan. He explained the menu and made some great recommendations. We enjoyed the braised rabbit tagliatelle and eggplant sandwich. The pasta was magnificent! It was perfectly cooked and tasty. We paired our lunch with a cold Vermentino (white wine). Everything was fresh and delicious! Excellent food and service. We had a nice romantic lunch so we will come back soon. We found out they offer happy hour from Tuesday to Sunday 5pm to 7pm and brunch on Sundays with unlimited mimosas, sangrias, and bellinis for $20pp. Cheers!

I've had this restaurant book marked for quite some time now. We finally Pulled the trigger and were absolutely blown away! Fresh bread & olive oil was brought to the table immediately after ordering... crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We started with the burrata and prosciutto... huge portion and very flavorful. For our entrees, we ordered the Cacio E Pepe and the Sea Urchin Pasta. Both dishes had amazing flavor; however, the Uni pasta was the most unique pasta dish I have ever experienced! The flavors of the crab, uni, and squid ink pasta melded so perfectly together... as they say, "life changing". My only disappointment as that we didn't leave room for dessert. All the reason to return and try more of their amazing dishes!

This restaurant is worth all 25 points of all 5 stars that I am awarding it. The service, covid measures, food quality, decor, music selection, and overall professionalism by the staff was unequivocally excellent. I ate dinner there with my wife a couple weeks back and we were thoroughly pleased with the whole experience. While I waited for her arrival, the waiter offered to get me something to drink. I accepted a glass of water. While I perused the menu and took a sip of water out of the glass every so often, the waiter noticed. As a result, he came by and refilled my water glass (every time!). I hadn't had this much attention to detail since my last 3 Michelin star experience at Momofuko Ko in NYC, much less in notoriously "poor service Miami". The zucchini flower appetizer arrived with crispy flowers filled with cheese and delighted our senses. The combination crunchy and soft texture was a perfect balance in the mouth. Previously tasted zucchini flowers by us were not filled and we were quite pleased at this surprise. The main courses of pappardelle with osobucco and Branzino (a specialty that night) also fared well for our palettes. The portion size was perfect, as was the plate preparation. We ate the delicious dishes with delight. Never one to turn away looking at the dessert options, I decided that if I was going to order something, it would not be the tiramisu. I love tiramisu, but decided that I wanted to try something else. The triple chocolate seemed a bit too much for our mostly full stomachs, so we opted for the waiter's recommendation of passion fruit topped panacotta. Even better, it arrived topped with sweet raspberries and blackberry, which complemented perfectly. The Sweet, tart, smooth sensualness still lingers on my tongue. Minor detail, but the Pinot noir that we drank was also well balanced. Thanks Palat for showing and doing how a food experience should be!

Don't know why I haven't come to this place sooner. The service here is phenomenal. Between management, runners, and our server they generously worked as a team to make sure not only our table but the others were well taken care of. They serve you bread and olive oil to start. We ordered the calamari and Caesar salad which was fresh and very flavorful. We ended with caico e Pepe witch was properly served from the cheese bowl. And the wine recommendation was exactly what I was looking for. Prices are normal in the miami environment when comparing them to other "nice dinner" spots. I would definitely go again for the calamari as well as to try other menu items.

Pablo M.

Yelp
-1 point because there's no parking. You can't have a restaurante where guests can't park. Not on the streets. The valet only handles a few spaces. So many amazing places in which parking isn't a problem. -1 point because upon arrival they didn't recognize our reservation. We had to fight them over it. There was proof of the online reservation. We also called them to confirm on the phone! -1 point because the service is more concern with getting rid of you fast, I had to ask theM several times to let me finish my food. 2 points because the food was great. Overall experience was pretty bad. And more expensive than some of Miami's best!

Bob E.

Yelp
Flawlessly executed dishes, vitello tonnato, grilled calamari, and osso bucco pappardelle were all very delicious. 2nd time I've been and l'm impressed. Atmosphere and lighting makes for kind of a sexy and sophisticated vibe in a modern space the way Italians do so well. Attentive yet unintrusive service by Marco. Could do without the live music tbh but otherwise perfection.

Lucy S.

Yelp
My girls and I absolutely loved it. The grilled octopus was amazing, the lobster ravioli, Tagliolini Cacio e Pepe, crispy Branzino, and other things we ordered was seasoned very nicely and full of flavor. Our server was super nice, friendly, and very efficient! See entire video on IG @misslufleur

I came on a random visit to Miami from California And Yelp did it again! Thank you yelpers! I had an amazing date with my fiancé here. We ordered a nice bottle Of wine, the zucchini flowers appetizer (amazing and unique), seafood pasta and risotto. It was all amazing. Total cost $240 (we splurged on the bottle of wine $110). Highly recommend! I would come visit back in a heartbeat.

Yelp
For our anniversary dinner my partner booked a dinner reservation at Palat. We had a delightful experience with a pleasant ambiance. For antipasti, we ordered the grilled octopus - it was good, but chewy. The Tagliolini Cacio e Pepe was a spectacular dish. I'm not so much of a pasta person, but the dish got my attention because of its presentation and I'm glad I went for it. The pepperoncini cheese adds a spectacular creamy cheesy texture. The pasta was topped with shredded truffle! The dish made it to my list of top pasta dishes. My partner had the veal Pappardelle, it had a slight sweet kick, complimenting the veal tomato sauce. To end the night, we had the passion fruit Panna Cotta, and let's just say I didn't want to share... the texture was just right with a rich layer of passion fruit on top, sprinkled with passion fruit seeds. I will definitely be back soon.

It is okay. Located in the Buena Vista neighborhood, between Midtown and Little Haiti, Palat shows promise. An expansive and nicely decorated dining room, with an open kitchen and a fully stocked bar probably seats 120 people. Regular tables, high tables, and tables positioned against benches by the windows. The latter are particularly inviting, but terribly uncomfortable. Service is correct and attentive. The food is nicely presented, and the menu hits all the right spots. Ingenious flavor combinations rooted in Italian cuisine and inspired by the Mediterranean. Too bad everything we ordered was mostly bland and not very impressive. The burrata was tasty, but should it be in the salad portion of the menu? It's not really a salad, it probably had one single cherry tomato finely mondolined. The mussels were minuscule. Because they were minuscule, there was very little sauce to soak the crusty bread. The pasta was okay. Al Dente but found it forgettable. The dessert was tasty, but would benefit from a little bit more raspberry coulis, and something crunchy. Palat is nice. Just nice.

Amazing experience in Palate! The food was so good, service the best in Miami for sure! I do recommend you try Truffle pasta and Beef carpaccio. Will definitely come back soon! Thank you!

Just a forewarning, parking is a nightmare... they do have valet but it was "full" when we got there. I'm not sure how because the restaurant was at half capacity max. The ambiance is relaxed but kind of dark. We were a group of 20-30 year olds that could barely see the menu (LOL). I thought the food was pretty good but my fiancé felt pretty sick after eating the seafood platter. As far as gluten free goes, they were very accommodating with my pasta even though it takes longer. Final note- beer and wine only, no cocktails.

PALAT-- a culinary gem nestled in lush gardens right in the heart of upper buena vista. I first noticed it perched on the corner of my street because of the wrap around windows and landscaping but never had intention to go since pasta tends to stick to my midsection. Fast forward to my birthday last month...After staying home most of the year I wanted to celebrate with my loved ones in a safe controlled environment. NO PROBLEM FOR PALAT. I call the night of to reserve for a party of 12 since SWAN could not accommodate my additional guest. The host at PALAT assured it wouldn't be a problem. He had reserved a beautiful 12ft(maybe longer?) wood carved table for my guest and I. && We were the only party inside as the other guest were already dining in the patio area. A1 experience! of course we can't forget the food. I had the ravioli special, perfect portion and lovely presentation. I rarely make a big deal to celebrate my birthday so it was really awesome that the one time I decided to, it was epic. Highly recommend!

Great food. We went on a busy day and I assume that's why the service was poor. Seating is available inside and outside - both looked great! The menu changes often.

This gem of a restaurant hit all the marks for us. A local delight. Not only is the food and atmosphere absolutely perfect, most of all, for us, what made the experience top is THE STAFF. How refreshing to be surrounded and served by a well coordinated, engaging and attentive staff. They didn't miss a beat and presented with a sense of urgency the whole time we were there. This is a must that will not disappoint! Thank you Palat staff for a super easy evening and thank you management for obviously knowing how to make your staff care about service! Well done:)

Vanessa G.

Yelp
The food was ok. I think it is super overpriced for what we ate! The truffle pasta was way more tasteful that the vongole one. The cheese cake was also good! But any ways is food you can find anywhere and not pay like $90 per person!

Karen R.

Yelp
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! First off, our waiter, Ernesto was very attentive and had great recommendations! We began with the Shishito peppers (the lemon makes it!) Then we had the Parpadelle Osobucco and the Black Pasta with Crab...omg!!!! Loved those dishes!! Then ended with the Chocolate dessert and an expresso. Thank you for the excellent food and service!

Stopped here for a casual dinner with a friend on Saturday night, the place is super cute and cozy and the service was excellent. They had a Miami Spice menu so we opted to try that out. For an appetizer we had the grilled calamari and meatballs. The calamari was okay but the meatballs lacked a lot of flavor. For our main course we tried the Tagliolini Cacio E Pepe and the Snapper. The Tagliolini Cacio E Pepe was pretty good but the Snapper lacked flavor as well. The service was excellent, but the food was not my favorite.

Kevin M.

Yelp
We had a really nice dinner at Palat. The clientele had a fun energetic vibe and the staff were attentive. Neighborhood is residential - so it's mostly drive in drive out. Really nice outdoor patio which I would request on a future visit. My wife's ravioli arrived cold which is why only 4 stars - they reheated it and it was perfect on its return to the table. My wife NEVER sends anything back so this was a rare occasion. Happy they made it right!

Atmosphere is nice, but the food is completely flavorless. Burrata was too runny and hard around the exterior, but the prosciutto was amazing ! Caesar salad was ok. the truffle cacio e Pepe and parpardelle ragu was incredibly underwhelming and I would not recommend any of it to anyone.

I was meeting a group of friends after work and came super early. I was greeted by a friendly hostess and ordered prosecco at the bar. The place is clean, with a pretty and open kitchen and full bar. The decoration is tasteful and modern, with beautiful light colored wooden tables. We had the ibérico and manchego platter as starters and several tapa style small plates. We particularly enjoyed the shishito peppers, cobia ceviche, meatballs and hummus with olives. I parked on the street for $2 from 7p until 2a, although the manager told us later that customers can park right on the side street in front of the restaurant entrance for free. This is a great place for small and large groups as well. We definitely will be back.

I finally got my wish of eating from a cheese wheel at Palat! I went all the way to Italy for that and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. The service was absolutely exceptional, they kept checking on us every couple of mins to see if we were okay or could take anything out of our way. My bf took me to dinner to celebrate something I'd accomplished, had called them prior and they had a complimentary glass of yummy Prosecco as soon as we arrived. The food was delicious, I would definitely recommend.

Nom ! Nom! Nommmmm! I walked passed this spot when it first opened up a year and change ago but walked in for their happy hour this year and basically go monthly for after work meetings or catch up. The happy hour menu has $6 food and wine! The meatballs, the zucchini fries and the salad are alllll amazing! The customer service is phenomenal. The dinner menu is also incredible and very rich, go ready to eat in an amazing ambience. Dinner: we have the Sashimi Platter with Prawns..... WOOOOW!!!! The prawns melted in my MOUTH! As well as that pasta dish, and the branzino- Listen, AMAZEEEEEBALLLSSSS! I can't stop going to the spot! Customer service is top notch, so great we left a $40 on a $130 tab.
