Been here in the past and it was great, even recommended to friends visiting Miami. Don’t know what happened, it all changed now. To be honest it is now Extremely over priced for average Italian cuisine. They were out of many menu items. All the different pastas seem to come with the exact same sauce . I was looking forward to coming back to this restaurant but instead left very sad and disappointed. On the plus side, Ambiance is great, service was very professional.

I was a regular customer for almost 2 years because I know the head chef Luis who is an outstanding person. But below are the reason you shouldn’t visit this restaurant at any cost. 1. Beware with guys (ALEX & VALMIDIR) from bar section area, if your not vigilant enough about your bill they will steal your money. On an average every third time they overcharge my credit card. This UKRAINIAN guy VALMIDIR literally beg for the tips.. 2. Most of their customer base age group is 55-65 years who are regulars they come every evening. All the restaurants waiters & waitresses make fun of all the old people in private, they joke like in next 2-3 years we will go out of the business because all this people will die. 3. Most of the people mentioned in reviews that this place infested with roaches, that is absolutely true, that’s why I never ate anything in that restaurant in last 2 years. 4. This restaurant doesn’t have any supervision of Manager or Owner, so no one is accountable, employees do wh

I wouldn't describe the restaurant as casual like google says, but more upscale. Service was amazing, as well as the food. When your server says the larger portions are for 3, I'd say they are down playing it. The portions are so generous. I would recommend ordering the larger portions anyway and take home the leftovers. Prices are less than other Google viewers have said so don't let that change your mind!
