   My only regret is that we did not find Bella Cuba sooner, with authentic cuisine that lives up to the name. My wife is Dominicana and I IItaliano and we love to cook Latin and Mediterranean dishes, and do so often, resulting in high expectations when we dine out. We both agreed that Bella exceeded our expectations with dishes better than our own. Most top notch restaurants exceed with the basics. The homemade Cuban bread was freshly baked, warm, crispy and delicately flavored. The maduros were perfectly cooked lightly browned with a hint of sweetness. The frijoles had perfect consistency and Smokey hamon flavor. The boiled yucca melted in the mouth with the perfect hint of garlic in the mojo sauce. The Moro was perfectly cooked with excellent flavor and consistency. The main courses similarly were flavored, cooked and served to perfection. Nothing in the art deco district comes close. Buen provecho!

    We ate at Bella Cuba last year and this year didn’t disappoint. The shredded beef was amazing! Service was good but not over bearing. Overall, a lovely dining experience.

    Immediately felt welcomed by the staff when we arrived. Ordered the ceviche and tostones three ways for apps , oxtail stew and drunken chicken rice for entrees plus white sangria. Everything was delicious. The ceviche was fresh and the marinade had a slight kick to it. Tostones were heaped over-flowing full of the pork, shrimp, and chicken, respectively. I think any region’s or country’s chicken and rice dish is a staple and this was no different - yummy rice seasoned perfectly with green onions and sweet green peas. Oxtail was tender and fall off the bone. Would definitely come back. Wish we had room for dessert!

    1st Entree- Prawns were burnt on one side. Steak fine. 2nd Entree- Seafood Paella was inedible☹️. The 2 mussels were cold, the prawns were burnt & the few bits of fish in the rice were mushy & just tasted bad. I did mot eat the dish. When the server cleared the plates she asked me how my untouched meal was. I told her and the response was “oh”.

    Bella Cuba was excellent, authentic Cuban with signature dishes (Drunken Chicken and Pork Dish), delicious side dishes and friendly service. We prefer Bella over the 'touristy' feel other cuban restaurants offer within our neighborhood who also cater to the locals!!

    Margarita was very overpriced and not good at all. Seemed to be "flavored" by a dissolving tab that was still dissolving when it was served. Just expected more from a $20 drink. Food had a good taste, pork was a little dry, but overall good. Plantains were definitely the best part of the meal.

    Bella Cuba was disappointingly mediocre. We were so excited for “good” Cuban food, but the “sauces” were mostly just chopped red onion. Ugh! Decent portion of meat on the churasco steak. Small portion on red snapper. Only two shrimp on the coconut shrimp and fried calamari. Coconut shrimp was not even coconut- just fried. Mojitos were fine.

    We stopped here for lunch partly to get out of the heat outside and ended up enjoying the meal very much. The ceviche is divine and we also liked the croquettes and sandwiches. So we decided to return a few days later for dinner and we were warmly welcomed by the staff. I shared the snapper with my husband: the portions are very large. Yucca fries were delicious along with the side of black beans and rice. I will return next time we are in Miami.

    Authentic, delicious Cuban cuisine including beverages. Excellent attentive service. Friendly atmosphere comprised mostly of locals. Old polished eclectic woodwork comfortable interior setting. Street patio seating a little too close to traffics. Definitely check this place out! Reservations recommended.

    Steven is a great waiter! He gave us just the right amount of space to enjoy our meal. He brought out our dinner with perfect timing. Of course our dinner was delicious as it has been every time we've dined here. We live in CT and come to South Beach a couple of times a year. We eat at Bella Cuba at least once at every visit! Delicious cuban dinner and don't forget the Cuban coffee!

    Went initially for dinner, then - as they had run out of suckling pig - returned for lunch. Wonderful. Ceviche is outstanding. Oxtail really wonderful, tho spicier than the usual continental presentation. And roast pork a treat. Casual, easy, tasty dinner, unpretentious, comfortable, with attentive servers.

    What a lovely place! The food was great, everything was prepared fresh and tasted delicious - highly recommend their slow roast suckling pig (melts in your mouth), traditional Cuban sandwich and definitely ceviche (I even took one extra to go for next day). All their wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Too bad I was there just on vacation, but if I ever come back to Miami Beach, this is going to be my "go to" place to eat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
