Thank you shaquita for joining us and leaving your wonderful review. We are happy to know that you have been coming for the past 7 years. We love having happy and satisfied customers like you.
As usual the food and service was very nice. Great atmosphere. If i have to say just one thing for room for improvement: i really miss the bread rolls (as opposed to the italian loaf style served now). The rolls were amazing. (Breadticks included are great, nice variety). I had the pasta pear w prociutto- fantastic. House malbec is very good too. Topped it off w a great julius meini coffee.

Great hidden gem. We've lived in Miami Beach for 22 years, and hadn't heard of Cafe Prima Pasta until a friend mentioned it. It's definitely going to be one of the spots we frequent on the island!
We're looking forward to your next visit, Jonathan. Thank you for giving us 5 stars.
Excellent Italian. Good ambiance and service.
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed our delicious Italian food, we'll be waiting for you to be back soon.
Felt uncomfortable with restaurant adding mandatory 18% tip and waiters pushing for expensive dish of the day and pressing to sell another bottle of wine. Good food yet ovarall too expensive.
Charly, we are very sorry to hear that you were not happy about the % of tips, and that you thought that are waiters were pushing you to order expensive food.
Buena comida, siempre que vengo a Miami voy y nunca me defrauda

The marinara sauce is the best. Food is good but the place is busy and the service seems rushed. I do enjoy this place though and I will be back. Great place to take friends or family for a good meal.

The food was great as usual, but service could be much better,
I don't like that they automatically add 18 percent tip to the invoice, maybe that's the reason that service wasn't that good.

Great food, ambiance and service! From the host and hostess at the front to our server and other staff, we could not have had a better time! We have been here multiple times and even got the food to go on a few occasions and it does NOT disappoint. We had a great red wine and white wine and ate family style so everyone could get a taste. Salads, appetizers, pasta, meat, fish and desserts.... everything was wonderful.
