Cafe Prima Pasta

Came to this restaurant with much anticipation of the food. Attractive restaurant. Food was very good but the service was spotty and not very attentive. Music switch from a nice mood italian restaurant to classic rock. very weird. Wanted to love the restaurant but came away lacking mostly due to service. A pink sauce on an agnolotti pasta was really a red sauce and spicy. Just a little dissappointing. Squid ink seafood pasta delicious.

Great. Only issue was that the waiter kept rushing us a little bit but after a few, “not yet” he got it, afterwards it was fine. Parking as usual is a little tricky . Overall it was great, I love this place, ambiance & food never disappoints.

Excellent dinner with my wife.

Our waiter “Cruise” was awesome. Food is spectacular. We loved it so much we told everyone at the hotel about it. Several couples went and thanked us. Don’t miss out on this place.

Food was delicious throughout all 3 courses. Only slight criticism is that food came out to quickly in between courses

My sister in laws and I went with a local friend who frequents the restaurant. We had been to high end touristy places in fancy hotels, and this restaurant was by far our favorite meal and the cheapest. It was also the best service! I can't say enough about the fabulous food! Do not miss when in Miami!

parking was a problem, Food was good, Just the right amount to share . service was great.

Excellent. Only complaint was the desserts.
Not up to par with the other food.

Prima Pasta is always excellent in every way: service, food& ambience, attentive staff,bar scene& drinks!! Thank you

This is the best restaurant ever! I’ve been going there since 1995 and have never had a bad meal or bad service. When I moved from Miami Beach to Melbourne Beach, Florida I would drive a few hours just to go to dinner. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina now and try to make sure I go to Prima Pasta every time I’m in town. I took my friend there for her birthday dinner this evening and they went out of their way to make it very special for her and we all appreciated it so much! My friends can be picky and it was the only place anywhere around that I felt comfortable recommending! Make sure you ask for the chimichurri sauce to dip your bread in! It’s amazing!! You might smell like garlic for a couple days but it’s soooooo worth it!! :)

Amazing food with great service. Must have the pear pasta

excellent as always. Our family enjoys CAFE PRIMA PASTA very much

Excellent food, service, wine 🍷 and staff. Love this place!

It was such a great experience for dinner! This was our first time dining in and everything from start to finish was exceptional. We are already planning our next time to come in. The three of us all got separate dishes and everything was amazing! Highly recommend to anyone!

Never had a bad meal or service. A real Gem!

Even with a reservation, we had to wait more than 30 minutes.

Alway good food, service and Miami ambience, we go very often for the great home made pasta and deserts

It is a good place for good food, good service and good value. Reliable with no surprises.

All good, every thing was very nice

Prima is my very favorite. From the crispy, fresh bread through to the delectable desserts, Prima is outstanding EVERY time. I will continue my annual visits from New York to my favorite restaurant until my dying day! My favorite dish is the Fiocchi Rapera (sometimes switched out with penne). 😍

I love the ambiance, the friendly and knowledgeable service, the delicious and creative cuisine and the excellent value.

The food and service was outstanding, you can’t ask for anything more

Thank you for this moment, we came back a second time as it is incredibly good !!

This hotel is amazing for everything! The service was amazing and I can’t even tell you how good the food was. We had reservations and they were running a little behind they treated us to free champagne and a few appetizers! Will definitely be back. Our new Miami place . And if you have kids don’t be afraid to go we took ours and it was great with or without kids

Been here many times and it is always, always consistently good. The food was outstanding and the service was also. A little bit surprise at having to pay for the parking as it used to be free parking many times that I have been there. The black ink seafood pasta and veal dish was out of this world so is their steak cappaccio

We live on the beach and this is our favorite restaurant in the area. We always eat excellent. Food is delicious and service always a plus. We will continue enjoying Prima Pasta as much as we can.

Great service .we went early for early bird dinner when there were few other customers.

We love this iconic Miami Italian restaurant. Best carpaccio ever and love the warm staff and flavorful food. Always a great place to go with friends and family.

My boyfriend and I went here for my birthday dinner and absolutely loved it. The waitstaff was very friendly (other than the one host we encountered.) The chicken parm was absolutely fantastic! In fact, everything we ate was so delicious that my boyfriend said it was "the best Italian food he'd ever had." They even sang and brought out a free dessert for my special day!

Flavorful food made with quality and love. One of the few places left like this regardless of price range or category. Great service as well. It was my first time but won't be the last one. Thank you!!!

Very lively and entertaining place. Great to have drinks and food with friends, as a couple, or between colleagues. Safe bet ;)

It felt like a NYC/Chicago authentic Italian restaurant except for the palm trees outside. The service was very good and the food was outstanding. Best Lasagna I’ve had in years and the kids devoured their chicken parmigiana and angel hair with pink sauce. Last but not least, the cheesecake was superb as well. We would definitely go back.

Great service, great food. Our server Eddy Lobo was outstanding!

It was our first time there. Our impression is that this is not a bad Italian restaurant, nor is the best one in Miami. We didn't like the rucola salad at all. It didn't feel Italian. The main course was better. We had shortrib with mushroom risotto. This was nice. And we also had the fettuccini ossobuco. The flavor was nice, but I found it had too many things at the same time, and you couldn't almost feel the pasta, it felt like ossobuco with pasta instead of pasta with with ossobuco.

This place is a gem. I love how intimate it feels. The red tone of the lighting, the music, the old-time ambiance. And the food is amazing. The meatballs with ricotta is to die for. And the chicken parmesan is spectacular. Such a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back.

Great food and service.

La comida y el lugar excelentes... solo que me tome la
molestia de reservar una mesa con tiempo y cuando llego al restaurante me dieron la mesa 40 minutos más tarde.

Service as usual was very attentive, however the food was better the last time we went. The lasagna was just OK, and the chicken limoni Had a sauce that was way too thick and fatty.

I lived on the beach several years ago and this restaurant was in walking distance. Needless to say it became a staple for date night or special dinner with friends and family. This place never disappoints!! The service is always great and the food is amazing. The absolute BEST Italian restaurant the country!!! If you have not eaten here before you must order the lasagna so delicious!!

Great food short wait great service
