Avoid this place like the plague.
I was reached out by some affiliate of this restaurant to come here on opening night. Naturally, I went, and was received a voucher for $50 off the next time I come. Sounds good, right? Well that couldn’t be any further from the truth.
The only good thing about this place was when I arrived at the restaurant I was seated immediately, considering it was fairly busy (which surprises me). Everything else outside of that, was horrible. It took more than 20 minutes for a waiter to arrive with water, which at the time I was ok with because it was busy and I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Once we placed our order, we ordered two pastas - a spicy rigatoni and carbonara, a prosciutto pizza, and calamari. The food arrived relatively quick, except for the carbonara. We address a waiter for it, and in a very smug “I don’t really care about my job” look, they attempted to address the situation, and said they would look into it. We saw more and more pasta plates pass by, and in pure frustration, we paid for our plates with a forced 20% tip that is not worth battling for.
You would think thats bad enough, right? Thats just the tip of the iceberg. The food was at best, average. The pasta had zero flavor, the calamari was underfried, and the pizza was nothing to write home about. The ambiance is very pressing inside, as they pack people inside this shoebox of a restaurant and in my opinion, pray for the best. We didn’t receive any extras (red chili flakes, oregano, etc.), and there was very slim to none attentiveness.
To say this place is bad is an understatement. You would think for a new restaurant they would put more of an emphasis on customer service and food quality, but no, this is essentially a restaurant that tries to be upscale and fancy, when I fully promise whoever reading this can make a better effort at making Italian food. This is a disgrace to the Miami food scene.
TL;DR: I received a $50 voucher to come here. Average food, extremely long wait times even with orders messed up, horrible ambiance
