Extra chashu and a whole egg float at the base of this large bowl of ramen, and in the center there is a generous portion of mixed steamed vegetables.

    Owner Angelo and his team at Osteria never disappoint- and tonight was no exception. We take all of our out-of-town guests here because we believe it's the best Italian restaurant in Miami- with great food (tonight's highlights included an eggplant parmesan starter, osso buco pappardelle/gnocchi entrees, and a crazy good meringue/berry dessert special), fair prices and exceptional service (everyone is treated with such genuine kindness). While we live near Brickell/Downtown Miami- with plenty of Italian options- it's well worth the short drive to North Miami for what is always a truly memorable dining experience!
