Vapiano

While out and about we came across Vapiano restaurant in Miami. After taking a quick look at the menu posted at the entrance we knew our lunch was going to be great. The pizza was wonderful probably the best pizza I have ever had in my multiple trips to many parts of America. The toppings were fresh, full of flavour and the sauce was the key ingredient that tied everything together. The staff are very friendly which adds to a seem-less dining experience. I highly recommend adding Vapiano to your list of must eats when in Miami and will definitely being eating here again when in Miami.

This weekend, my boyfriend and I attended the pizza-making class at Vapiano. We had a fantastic time—the experience was super fun, and the service was excellent. Our server, Jose, was very attentive, and the manager, Endre, made us feel truly welcome and added to the enjoyable atmosphere. We’ll definitely be returning.

This used to be my favorite restaurant! I’ve tried most of the plates here , since I walked in the lady cook in the kitchen was screaming “un VIP un VIP” a bad bunny song .. The whole dinner experience it was her loud and screaming and unconsciously I kept turning around and she would give me nasty looks. My food was good but not exceptional line it used to be, my chicken tasted like fried on corn oil which damaged the pesto taste. Server was nice enough to bring me fresh cheese which helped. It’s very sad that

Delicious pasta. I ordered a bacon carbonara pasta and it was fresh and very tasty. Also ordered an Aperole Spritz and it was delightful. Tiffany was our server, she was very kind. That place is very peaceful and beautiful. Thank you!

The best pizza in Miami that we had. The dough had a chew to it while also crisp reminding me of the authentic pizza I had in Italy. Great service, clean, and kid friendly. There were several adults there for ladies dinners, families and business people. It was spacious with great food and clean. The open kitchen was fabulous too. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. Only a block from the Four Seasons hotel that we were staying at. I’m so glad we found this place with authentic amazing food. We came twice during our stay in Miami.

Visiting Miami from Chicago, used to work at the Chicago location and have missed Vapianos food! Decided to order take out and WOW! It tastes exactly the same. I was immediately greeted and taken care of. It’s a little pricier but definitely worth the money!! Also in a nice area and amazingly clean atmosphere!

It was my first time eating at vapiano’s! Everything was delicious. The owner met and welcomed us. Our server was friendly.

I ordered a fettuccine chicken Alfredo on uber eats. It was the most disgusting thing I’ve tried to eat. The pasta was bone dry, it was just filled with oil and no Alfredo sauce. I asked for shrimp as an extra topping, it says it comes with six pieces for 9 whole dollars. There was 2 pieces of shrimp. TWO SHRIMPS. That’s 4.5 dollars a shrimp. It was filled with mushrooms too because why not. I DIDNT ASK FOR OR WANT MUSHROOMS! I paid 52 dollars for this piece of garbage. Avoid this place at all cost I rather get gas station spaghetti then this.

I hadn't realized Vapianos across the U.S. had closed, and after my visit here, I can't see why. I stopped in for a quick afternoon bite and sat at the bar, where I ordered the beef carpaccio: 10/10. It was fresh, savory, and surprisingly light yet satisfying. The ambiance was warm and inviting with tasteful décor, and the service was friendly throughout. Strongly recommend!

Went here on a Sunday at 5:00pm. The place was empty. It's in an area off the main strip in Brickell so I guess it doesn't attract that much traffic on the weekend. The server wasn't that friendly or talkative. The decor was nice with tall ceilings and a clean fresh feel. Most of the food we ordered was excellent, the spaghetti bolognese was one of the best I've ever had. The gelato and fudge brownie for dessert was also perfect. The margarita pizza was good, but the crust underneath was not crispy, just soft. I like how you can see the kitchen easily and how they cook. The only issue I had was that I could not contact the restaurant ahead of time to ask about parking. I tried to call all day Saturday and Sunday morning and all I got back was a busy signal. I also emailed them many times and not one reply, and an HQ email address doesn't seem to exist either.

Ordered take out and it was really nice :) My call was picked up in a timely manner and I felt like the employee on the phone had a really good attitude. Took about 15-20 minutes for the food to be ready. I was a little late so by the time I got there, food was only warm Despite the food just being warm, it was so good!!! I wish the bbq chicken pizza had more bbq sauce but otherwise, so good! The restaurant itself is really nice outside. Would be cute for a night out!

Vapiano @vapiano_miami Miami, FL Delicious pizza, pasta, and more. Great options for a great price. Beautiful spacious restaurant with nice service. Here's what we had: Mezcalita Paloma White Sangria Garlic Cheesebread Bruschetta Gamberetti Chicken Alfredo Pasta made with fusili and level 4 spice Crema di Funghi made with fusili level 3 spice Tiramisu Everything was cooked fresh and very flavorful. When are you visiting Vapiano? #Vapiano #Miami #Brickell #Pizza #Pasta #Bruschetta #MiamiFood #ItalianFood #Deal #AromaEverfresh #LetsDrinkz #EatzWithSweetz #LetsEatz

Very nice ambiance tucked away between the Miami high rises and reasonable prices. Fresh ingredients used and had the spaghetti Arribata and mozzarella bruschetta. Unique sangria. Server could have been more attentive. He didn't fill water the whole Time until We asked for the bill. Didn't check in after first few bites

Great place with reasonable prices and good food and service for casual dining with family, friends or a date. Unlike pre covid or the NYC location I was used to, it is now sit down service. There is a nice cozy bar area and plenty of covered outdoor seating as well. The pastas and salads my friends ordered looked delicious, I ordered the pizza which unfortunately was not up to New York standards with a soft doughy crust. With all the other vegetarian options available I can always try something else when I go back. I did also see a dog so was happy that they are also dog friendly!!

Really love the atmosphere and the food and drinks of this place. Happy hour starts from 3 to 7 and I think that's an amazing time for happy hour. This restaurant is mostly an Italian restaurant with a twist. So you're gonna find your favorite pizza with some twist and also really great pastas And other Italian known dishes. This is also located in Brickell and it's very conveniently placed. Inside is very nice and they also have cooking classes for pizza and spaghetti or pasta. There's a private floor upstairs for a larger party if needed. I really enjoyed the beef carpaccio along with the lasagna Bolognese. The drinks for happy hour were also strong and delicious.

The worst Italian food . Bad service bad environment!! We Went , To Have lunch With my Husband after awhile almost Half Hour The waiter Return, To Ask What We have order . Unbelievable .

The concept is interesting, where you build your own pasta adding ehatever sauce and toppings you want. It is a quick service restaurant, though so dont go expecting the best flavors in the world. Its good if you are in a pinch and need a quick bite.

Service was a bit slow although our waiter was very nice and did his best. We were a larger group however the restaurant was pretty empty other than us so it was frustrating he didn't have anyone to help. The food came out slowly and not all together which was a bit frustrating. The waiter forgot my drink order as well and I had to remind him. The food was decent but their menu was limited and did not have any gluten free options for one person in our party which was very disappointing and surprising as well. Overall the restaurant atmosphere was pleasant and they have a large patio area as well.

I've been living in Brickell for 2 years and decided to give this place a shot. The place itself is nice and clean, but the service ruined the experience. Our waiter was loud, dragging tables across the floor (check the video I posted), and never once checked on us or refilled our waters without us asking. It took him 15 minutes just to bring marinara for our cheese sticks, and the food, while okay, took a while to come out. Overall, decent atmosphere but terrible service. Wouldn't come back.

Same great service and food that you expect anywhere else in Vapiano worldwide. Great fan of this restaurant - first time ate in London more than a decade ago and then followed up in Dubai and other places around Europe and Middle East. However, this format in Miami is not like others where you get a card on your way in you tap everywhere from live kitchen stations pick up your own food and then pay on the way out by discharging your card For the amount. Ambience is the same great set up worth a visit if you're visiting financial district in Miami. It's such a shame that there's only one Vapiano in the entire United States.

The food here is Amazing! It was my first time visiting, loved the mural when you first walk in. Our waiter was nice and helpful in recommending their best sellers. We went ahead to order the spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, carbonara, and the forgammi pizza. All were absolutely incredible with lots of flavors. If I had to choose the Carbonara and lasagna were my top favorites. I love their happy hour special. This place is worth trying. Home made pasta.

This is the last Vapiano location in the United States, and I was so excited to see it hasn't lost its touch! COVID seems to have wiped out the other locations (they still have a ton in Europe), and they have changed their model from ordering at the counter/making it in front of you to more traditional restaurant service. The food was as good as I remember--my favorite is the penne all'arrabiata. Bread is delicious, staff was friendly and service was quick. This location also has a lovely outdoor area that is clean and comfortable when Miami weather is behaving. So glad to have found Vapiano again after several years!

So happy Vapiano Reopens their doors in the same Brickell spot. It is such a nice place with great ambiance and I think is perfect for Casual Lunch, Business Lunch or dinner with friends and family. New thing is that you can order from your table and I love this upgrade They have a broad menu specializing in Pizza & pasta made from scratch in house but also nice appetizers and healthier options such bowls and salads. We tried the Beef Carpaccio $19 great portion and traditional also a simple but nice Insalata caprese $14. For lighter options we tried the Salmon bowl $20 but the highlights were definitely the pastas and pizzas. We tried the Spaguetti carbonara $22 it was great (not traditional because it has onions and cream) and also the Filetto di manzo con vino rosso $25 My favorite was for sure the pizza, I love the dough a lot. We tried the Pizza crudo $23 and cant wait to go back and try more flavors. Service was warm and great.

Very good pasta that is homemade. Nice atmosphere. Price not too bad for Miami and the food was definitely good. Would go back

Welcome back, Vapiano! After having been closed for about 2-3 years, Vapiano has re-opened as a traditional sit-down style restaurant. My fiancée was familiar with the original concept having finished her schooling up in Washington D.C.. When she moved back home and we moved in together to Brickell, we were very excited to eat here since it was close by, but did not get the chance before they closed. I am very happy to report that we've been here twice in the last week. Great food, great portions, and good prices for the area. Some of these dishes at neighboring restaurants will run you more for smaller portions, so give Vapiano a shot if you haven't already! The interior of Vapiano is very minimalistic and modern with greenery throughout the restaurant, including their pots of basil plants which are for diner use! The service is very warm and in our experience, we've never had to wait a long time for our meals. Here's everything we've gotten to try so far: - Carbonara ($20): hard to mess this pasta up, but they execute it very well. Creamy, cooked al dente, with a good amount of bacon scattered in the pasta, and made with your choice of noodle and spice level (something I've never been offered at other Italian restaurants, so we were able to get ours pretty spicy)! We chose linguini for our pasta, which came out great. Wish they offered a pappardelle option! - Calzone ($18): bigger than the plate it's served on, this is the spiritual successor to the one that was offered at Luna Park in Brickell City Centre. Easily feeds 2 people, and the calzone itself is jam packed with cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. - Reef N' Beef Salad ($21): this was a pretty expensive but oh-so-delicious salad! Made with beef tenderloin and grilled prawns (!), arugula, lettuce, grilled vegetables, cherry tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and tossed around in what tasted like a green goddess sauce. - Pepperoni Pizza ($18): a classic pizza which they excel at. You are given the choice of an "appetizer" sized pie or an entrée one. This is bigger than the personal pizza pies sold in the area, so it also can be split between two people. - Tiramisu ($9): served in a cup, this tiramisu is creamy and delicious. Even with the espresso beans, it could've used more espresso in my opinion, but it was still delicious. Maybe I'll try one of the other desserts next time. Already planning our next visit! I love having a more "affordable" Italian option in the area that doesn't sacrifice on quality. We will try the risotto next!

I was so happy to hear that Vapiano was back in business at the same location, very close to me in Brickell. However, my experience was quite disappointing. Unfortunately. Ambiance was ok - AC on, good playlist, not loud. To start my husband ordered draft beer, but they were out of drafts. Then I ordered an Aperol Spritz and what I got was definetely NOT an Aperol Spritz. It was BROWN and tasted like rum. I told our waitress, she was very inexperienced - she took my Aperol back and asked if I wanted anything else. Well I wanted an Aperol, but ended up with water. We also got 3 slices of bread and they tasted good but were super cold. My husband ordered the Lasagna - it was pretty good. I ordered the Salmon Carbonara and the waitress asked how spicy I wanted it between 1-5 and I said 2. It came VERY spicy, full of black and chilli peppers you could literally see it. I couldn't eat it all. I will not be back anytime soon and will not recommend it to anyone. I'd rather spend $24 on a pasta in many other places where service, drinks and food are way better.

Good food, but the service? Disastrous. This is the kind of dining experience I feel like I should've been paid to endure. The restaurant was maybe 20 percent full, but the servers were scattered, inattentive, and impossible to flag down. When we finally saw someone, we rushed to put in our full order because we genuinely didn't know if we'd get another chance. After that, one guy poured wine from a carafe, spilled it all over the glass, and handed it to me without wiping it. Later, the same server asked if we ever got more wine. No. No one ever came. You were supposed to handle that. They forgot food. Argued with us about what an Arnold Palmer is, even though we ordered black tea. And somehow every basic part of service just fell apart. No follow-through. No communication. No one in control. I never write reviews, but this was so frustrating I couldn't let it slide. Vapiano, your kitchen deserves better. Your servers are driving people out the door. This meal came with a side of regret.

I am a fan of the Vapiano chain since I first tried it in Europe and was bummed when they closed most of their US locations during the pandemic. However, I found out that they re-opened some locations a year ago and Vapiano Miami is one of them. This restaurant offers a refreshing take on Italian cuisine, with a vibrant atmosphere and customizable dishes. Their pasta's are made in-house so you can really tell the difference of the quality when it's served. My go to dish is their carbonara customized with a little bit of chili peppers. The Service is efficient, and the modern decor adds to the dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant when you're in the area. Whether you're craving traditional classics or innovative creations, Vapiano delivers with flair.

I've been here twice ! I don't like the parking situation which is why I feel as tho they aren't always busy. However their staff is great and motivated and the menus has a variety of pastas and pizza . What I didn't know is that they have spice levels to the pasta dishes and that my friend is a game changer ! After 7 they have 15 dollar wine bottles and 15 dollar pizzas

The food and service here were really good. They have a space where you can rent out for parties and pizza making classes. You can also see the food being made with their open kitchen concept. Would definitely recommend especially for families!

One of the better pizzas you can get in Brickell! I love a good take out pizza and have only ordered through the phone for pick up however the ambiance of the venue is clean and very nice! They are fast with orders and have relatively good prices for Brickell! 10/10

visited vapiano brickell for happy hour -- had an incredible aperol spritz and the bartender was super friendly. the place had a nice vibe even though it wasn't very busy. definitely planning to go back!

Openings day for the new and improved Vapiano Miami could not have been better. The restaurant has been tastefully remodeled and looks absolutely beautiful! The staff was attentive and ready to serve. They had an amazing attitude and the service was very quick. Now the food. Vapiano has always had incredibly fresh food. This remains. Some of the freshest ingredients and pasta I've had recently. The ordering system has been revamped and it's more a traditional sit down restaurant table service now. I am pleasantly surprised with how well their opening went and look forward to continuing to try their delicious meals!

Pizza is very light , delicious and suitable for vegetarians. Please ask the server not to cross contaminate if you are a strict vegetarian. The cheese is also vegetarian as per last visit . Lair the manager is very helpful.

I came with my family and service was fantastic and. Are sever named German was the best he was so nice my fav

Lovely ambiance, great homemade pasta with lovely creme sauce and large pizza. Good number of prawns on pasta. Will go again next time in Miami.

So glad they are back after a few years. We need a casual and consistent quality restaurant in brickell to eat, not show off your "goods" to perspective suitors. Their parts and pizza hits the spot every time. They offer reasonably priced drinks and appetizers if you are looking for a small bite.

Please Please Please come to other cities. Pre-Covid, Vapiano was my favorite place in the world. The food is always so fresh and you can get it EXACTLY how you want it. Please find investors to expand to other cities. Denver, Chicago, DC. Anything! Comeback!

Gone are the days of being able to walk in, standing in line for a few minutes and taking a plate of delicious pasta back to your table. I've come back a few times since the reopening, the service has always been subpar and the food decent (but okay, that level of service is almost expected in Miami). My likely final visit went as follows. Walked in to an empty, bar for one occupied table, restaurant on a weekday at 18:50. Five minutes go by and still no waiter, ask the hostess and another five minutes later the waitress comes by. We want to order a glass of wine for happy hour which ends at 19:00. Waitress looks down at her point of sale tool and says "awww sorry, you are a minute late." I told her that we've been waiting for ten minutes, she says she will go check with the manager, 5 minutes go by and she is still not back. At this point we get up and leave...bear in mind the restaurant has more staff than people dining. Sorry for the long review!

STILL my favorite Italian restaurant in Miami. And I've been to a LOT of them - even the highly esteemed ones. Sheesh! So good! Please Vapianos, don't leave us again. Try the Calzone as a shared appetizer and the Carbonara is the best!

I have been going to Vapiano since before the pandemic. Then they closed and remained closed after the pandemic, but now they are back. The quality, portions, and variety of the menu is excellent. The food was well prepared and delicious from the Antipasto to the main course to the dessert. Service was friendly, attentive, and prompt. The ambience was great. Good background music but quiet enough for conversation. Be aware that parking is not free. They validate 50%. Also on the weekends, when you park in the building you have to walk around to the front of the building to enter the restaurant.

I've heard really good things about this place, but when i went it wasn't it. The pasta i ordered was way over cooked but was delicious otherwise. The service was horrible. The woman judged everything i ordered and when we were done she pilled all the plates at our table and left them there. Of course that was just bad luck for getting a server like that. The ambiance was nice, but the music was a little loud to the point you had to talk a little loud in order to communicate with your company.

Rude staff when making a pick up order, ever since they reopened they haven't been the same.

Delicious pizza. And really good service. Ready to go back again and try even more menu items.

We were looking for a last minute restaurant that could accommodate a party of 13. I called and thankfully they were able to get us in. Was all of our first time there and we all really enjoyed our food everything we ordered was delicious l. The service was also very good and attentive. Highly recommended

They have an overinflated method of calculating the tip. It's happened to me 3 times already. My check was $17.00 + 1.19 (7% tax) total: $18.19. Tip 20% should be $3.64 on $18.19. Was charged $4.67! Not cool Vapiano! It's not about the extra $$ but the audacity to do it! Ripping your customers off will only get your doors closed that much faster!

Stopped here for lunch with clients. The remodeled restaurant looks great and the service was fabulous. Grey, our waitress was excellent. Pasta chicken Alfredo was very well done. Just the right amount of sauce and the pasta was ardente. We enjoyed the pasta chicken picante with and ice cold Stella. Can't beat the quick turnaround and price for Brickell

Not the same Vapianos. Was excited when I found out it had reopened and looking forward to visiting again. Pros: Food is still awesome. Cons: It's now a sit-down restaurant and no longer has the walk-up option to order and watch them prep your meal. You now have to go to the bar to order, and they try to automatically add 18% service charge. Took half an hour to order and receive pasta. Overall, food is still great but more expensive. Good place if you have the time.

I am so disappointed with my visit to this Vapiano location. This has been on my top five all time restaurants for years and when I heard they reopened after closing during the pandemic, I was thrilled to return. Our server was very friendly and attentive however, I am so disgusted and turned off that this restaurant allows PETS to roam about the restaurant where patrons such as myself are enjoying their meals. And not just a small breed of dog, giant golden retriever or poodle dogs. That is insane, and not to mention unsanitary and super inconsiderate. The manager came to my family to address our discomfort with the situation, but all they did was offer to move OUR family and give us a free dessert instead of actually resolving the real issue, which is putting the PETS back outside where it belongs. Needless to say, this is my last visit or recommendation to this location. So sad and disappointed!!

I come here often. Great lunch spot on Brickell, a German franchise popular in Europe serving uncomplicated Italian cuisine. You order at different stations at the counter - risotto and pasta, salads, and pizza. I usually order the arugula pizza or the greek salad with salmon. When the food is ready, you get your dish and head to one of the many tables. The space probably seats about 150 people, downstairs, upstairs, and at a small bar. Inexpensive prices, consistent experience, tasty dishes. I recommend it.

I do miss the old concept where you could go order yourself. I our experience after going here after the new change the service is slow and not responsive whatsoever, and the food came out cold. During our dinner experience, we tried reaching out to the waiter and no one checked up on us, and we also didn't like how the waiter automatically added their own tip without telling us on the POS, the white stuff is slow and unprofessional.

The original Vapiano is actually located in Germany. My friend who ate at the original Vapiano attests that the quality of Vapiano Miami is on par with Vapiano Germany. This is also my second time at Vapiano Miami and I can tell you that the quality of the food has been consistent. Vapiano is known for its pasta and its semi-upscale dining experience. It is a place where poor students like me can afford to be fancy without poking a hole in my wallet. Most pasta is about $12-$16, so the price is very reasonable. I ordered the frutto di mare with linguini, which is seafood pasta with scallop, shrimp, and salmon. The flavors exploded inside my mouth and I was just left in awe with each bite. The pasta was very heavy. If you are a light eater, you will probably feel full after 3-4 bites. Nonetheless, the pasta still taste just as good if you take it back home and eat it the next day. Be sure to check in on Yelp and get a free dessert! You might not have enough room in the stomach for it but hey, it's free so why not! :)

The concept of Vapiano is awesome, especially for groups. Upon entering each person/party is given a card which you can use throughout the night to order your drinks and your food. Say goodbye to that awkward splitting of the check at the end of the night with a party of 10+ (which is what we were last night). Vapiano offers pizza, pasta, risotto and other Italian favorites all made to order in front of you! I started at the bar before I perused the menu and had super friendly service there. On a Saturday night they had happy hour until close which meant $3.95 glasses of wine - whaaaaat! I opted for a Tito's and soda, but made note of hh for future visits. Do you have to close out? Nope. You just swipe your card and its added to your tab. Super easy. Now onto the food. We were a large group and had the upstairs area reserved for our party. It was really convenient to be able to order at your leisure as folks were coming in and out to our celebration throughout the night. I was feeling pasta - so I went with my favorite Pasta Carbonara. You can pick your pasta and I chose tagliatele. Swipe of the card again and my pasta was on its way. The nice gentleman asked me what heat level I wanted the pasta and I went with medium. Two minutes later, I had fresh carbonara! YUM. It was absolutely delicious - so much so that various friends kept taking bites of my food. Not a problem tho, because the portion was huge. I had bites of other plates throughout the nightm too .The lasagna was just ok - too meaty for my taste. The four cheese pizza was OUTSTANDING. Last but not least, both the rissoto and pasta specials of the night were really tasty. Overall, I really enjoyed Vapiano. The food was delicious, and the ease of paying on your way out was awesome. Shout out to the hostess stand for giving away free gummy bears at check out. Do I associate gummies with Italian food? No. But ohhhh how I love gummy bears so I was all about that upon my exit!

it's definitely the worst vapiano i've ever been to. i ordered a caprese salad and the mozzarella was practically frozen. that being said vapiano has been my favorite restaurant for over a decade so i continue to have a soft spot.

My favorite place for pasta in Miami!! The staff are friendly, and the chefs love to joke around - their cheerful positive energy is contagious! Rather than a sit-down restaurant, you order at the counter and the food is made fresh right in front of you. My personal favorite is the Pesto Basillico pasta, but would also recommend the Crema de Fungi and Salmon Carbonara pastas! They also offer nonpasta options like risotto and pizza, and there are vegetarian options available. The desserts are also fantastic, which you can get at the bar located near the entrance. Their tiramisu is good - more of a parfait-style (more cream less cake). And bonus: instead of mints, there is a jar of gummy bears that you can help yourself to on your way out! I've had great experiences every visit, and highly recommend this place if you are ever in Brickell.

I went with my husband to eat we were starving and honestly the food was not worth the price on top of that they added a service fee to that total bill and when we ask what was the service fee we were told that was a new policy in Miami and it was a tip for the manager, the cook , host and waitress and top of that our waitress told us that we had to pay for that and if we wanted to leave a tip for him it was separate A TOTAL RIP-OFF will never go there again

TLDR - ever wanted to chipotle high quality Italian food? Oh when I say high quality, it really is. Fresh ingredients tossed together right in front of you. Plus It's way more entertaining than watching people scoop some food made in the back. Taste? Honestly better than some other more formal Italian restaurants around town. This place is a whole Italian restaurant experience with a lower wait time and less shame in getting more of that pre-meal bread. You can't go wrong with any order here. Even the salads are great! Other perks: awesome happy hour including their wine, beers, and some cocktails, a card-paying system that holds what you've ordered, and complimentary gummy bears before you leave!
