I have been to the Miami location many times, as you can see on my opentable and Resy history. I typically get the lamb chops scottadito every visit, and they are usually excellent. When I was at Contessa Miami this past saturday you can tell that they were cooked correctly, but the quality of the lamb chops were extremely tough and borderline inedible. It was tough to even cut them with the steak knife, let alone to chew them. I did let the waiter know about this. I wanted to forward it up to management so that they are aware. Every other part of my meal was excellent, including the service and other pasta dishes and dessert that we ordered. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I would look into your supplier for the lamb chops and try to rectify this so that other guests don't have a similarly bad experience. I usually expect every part of the meal to be perfect, but I was quite shocked by just how bad the quality of the lamb chops were. Thanks!

Very nice for a first date or romantic dinner. It’s quiet and low key. Cake cutting fee was $15 a person. So $90 for me. Food tasted great but portions are small. For it being pasta the price was not fully worth it. Averaging I spent $65 to $70 per person and that was not including cocktails.

After making the reservation, I read reviews and was worried I was preparing myself for horrible food but im happy to say I was not upset with the food. We did get meatballs that I feel wasn’t a very Italian recipe but still had a nice taste. I’ve been to the one in Boston and the ambiance is NOT the same. This is very vibrant decor which doesn’t speak Italian to me and the music was SO loud and very Latin vibes. I felt like I was eating at a Cuban restaurant and that really ruined it for me. I went for anniversary dinner and wouldn’t recommend for that but maybe for a girls night to have some drinks. Overall it was an okay experience. But what contessa in Boston is doesn’t match the Miami one or the Italian vibe at all.

Cibo meraviglioso. Il ristorante è bellino, però il rumore, l”acustica è da impazzire. Si vuoi restare gli per fare una conversazione non andare.
