Sparrow Italia, Miami

The Best New Restaurants in Miami, March 2025

"Sparrow Italia, already drawing celebrities like Alicia Keys and Serena Williams at its London location, lands in Wynwood with plates of pasta and Italian cocktails. The menu highlights bone marrow cappelletti with Barolo reduction, wagyu meatballs, truffle cacio e pepe, and a bar program featuring coconut-infused spritzes and Italian wines. The space pairs blue velvet booths and Venetian plaster walls with carved wood arches and brass accents." - Olee Fowler, Eater Staff

15 Best Italian Restaurants in Miami

"Celebrity magnet Sparrow Italia brings its glamorous Italian dining experience from London to Wynwood, complete with nightly musical performances where singers weave between tables belting classic tunes. The dramatic setting features blue velvet booths, Venetian plaster walls, and carved wood arches, serving as a backdrop for bone marrow cappelletti with Barolo reduction, wagyu meatballs, and truffle cacio e pepe. The bar leans into Miami’s tropical side with coconut-infused spritzes alongside Italian wines. Fair warning: between the performers and the buzzy crowd, this isn’t the spot for an intimate conversation." - Eater Staff, Alona Martinez

"Reservations open 21 days in advance and if you want a table from Thursday to Saturday, plan at least two weeks ahead. For the bad planners, the walk-in bar is a good alternative—especially since food isn’t really the point of this place. They offer the full menu there and it’s long enough to reliably grab a seat for you and your unpromising blind date." - Mariana Trabanino

"Sparrow is an Italian steakhouse that opened in Wynwood right next to Kyu. The London-based restaurant serves grilled octopus, a half-pound wagyu meatball, and pastas like spicy rigatoni, cacio e pepe, and lobster linguini. " - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo

The food is amazing and the vibe is the best in the city. Been here already two times in 3 weeks and I can’t wait to come back again. They play 90’s hip hop and also have live singing. Both times the service is a 10/10. I don’t have one bad thing to say about this business. The 6 ounce steak melts in your mouth. The pizza was wonderful. Burrata is fresh with pesto sauce.

This restaurant has a magical feeling about it, the atmosphere certainly fit the theme but the music choice could be better. The service was great, both gentlemen and lady ensured that our table was well taken care of. The biggest opportunity at this restaurant I feel is the food, it’s good not great and the portions for the cost is seriously not worth it. The food is average and certainly it needs to be revisited. I don’t think I would eat here again but would not mind going to the bar only, as I feel your drinks are better.

Definitely Deserves a Michelin star this restaurant. The pasta and the meat were seasoned perfectly. They didn’t hold out on the truffle. There was so much.

I had an amazing dining experience at Sparrow Italia in Miami! The atmosphere is vibrant and trendy, with great energy and an exciting vibe. It’s definitely not the place for a quiet, intimate conversation, as the music is a bit loud, but that only adds to the overall charm of the place, making it perfect for enjoying a fun and cozy night out. The food was delicious, although I wouldn’t exactly categorize it as traditional Italian. Nonetheless, every dish was full of flavor, and I couldn't get enough. The cocktails were also on point—creative and refreshing. Our server, a blonde and slim woman, made our evening even more special. She was incredibly attentive, always checking in to see if we needed anything and offering fantastic recommendations. Her warm and caring attitude made a big difference, and she ensured we had a wonderful time. An unexpected bonus was a live show by a talented singer, which really elevated the atmosphere and made the night even more memorable. The only minor downside was the strong raw meat smell when you first enter the restaurant—perhaps a little air freshener would help. Additionally, there was a slight wait for our table, which is understandable, but it would have been a nice touch to receive a welcome drink while we waited, given that the delay wasn’t our fault. Overall, Sparrow Italia is a must-visit for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and an energetic atmosphere in Miami!

Beautiful great restaurant in Wynwood, Miami. The menu holds a wide selection of Italian plates, plus an awesome meat section. Wines are good, the music gorgeous and the service elegant and personalized. At some time the music feels loud, but it is part of the ambience feeling.

Went to Sparrow for my birthday, had an incredible experience. Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants in Miami. Every single food item was cooked to perfection. The ambience and vibe are amazing with a mix of live music and throwback hits. Service was excellent. Five stars across the board. We had beef carpaccio, kale caesar, a few different steaks, meatballs, lamb, sorbet and everything was fantastic.
