THE OLD WORLD MEETS NEW IN THE HEART OF THE MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT
Inspired by the old-world sophistication of Northern Italy’s iconic resorts and estates, Contessa is a glamorous dining destination by Major Food Group that transports guests to Lake Como.

The restaurant serves antipasti including a Carpaccio of Chianina Beef and the most coveted Italian prosciutto; a range of signature pizzas and perfectly crafted pastas like Tortellini en Brodo and Garganelli Verdi Bolognese; and celebratory secondi that highlight the very finest meat, poultry, and fish in the world.

Contessa’s vast wine list and classic cocktail selection, meanwhile, match the caliber of the cuisine and further contribute to the restaurant’s elegant, energetic atmosphere.

We loved every bite and we’re unexpectedly surprised by the food. Stunning decor. Atmosphere is a little subdued and service was a bit hit or miss (loved the manager) but overall would return again.

We were rushed. Waiter was condescending. Food was fair. But waiting for our table at the bar, at least the bartender was go9d and friendly.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten in a restaurant where everything was absolutely delicious. This is a spectacular (but pricey) restaurant. The sticker shock did not bother me; it was a special occasion and admittedly we four ordered a substantial number of apps before dinner. Service was knowledgeable and professional. It got noisy as the evening progressed but that seems to be Miami normal. Overall, this is a great dining experience.

Food was delicious, ambiance was perfect, wine excellent, unfortunately we were disappointed with the service, told waiter we did not eat shellfish or pork and he kept pushing shellfish items ??? He did not listen just talked his prepared speech… sad not to give this delicious restaurant a 5 star!!!

It was my first time there on a Sunday afternoon. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was taken on a ride. The food was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars. The pizza very NYC inspired which I loved. The Italian salad amazing. The Branzino with the rosemary potatoes was AHH-mazing and also the spicy lobster pasta HEAVEN. Can’t wait to go back. The service was cool but could have been better. The food definitely made up for the experience.

Excellent food and service. The insalata verde could’ve used a little less dressing, but everything else was truly A+. The crema Inglesa was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Pasta was perfectly al dente, sauces on point and authentic (not heavy, not saturated, very Italian rustic if you know what I mean…). We will be back.

Overall our experience was ok. We had a reservation for 10:15 and we ended up being seated at 10:45. The pasta that we tried was the lobster angel hair pasta and the pesto rigatoni. The rigatoni was good, the lobster pasta was a bit overhyped. Best dish of the night was the beef carpaccio. Would return only to have it again, definitely a must when you go.

Contessa Miami is a dining haven in the heart of the city, offering an exquisite blend of luxury, flavor, and ambiance. The elegant decor, attentive service, and waterfront views set the stage for an unforgettable experience. The menu at Contessa is a culinary masterpiece, with a focus on fresh seafood and innovative flavors. I indulged in their seafood platter, a symphony of taste and presentation that left me in awe. The lobster Capellini and meatballs are a must. The staff's knowledge and passion for their craft elevate the dining experience, and the view of the Miami skyline over Biscayne Bay is simply breathtaking. Contessa Miami is a must-visit for those seeking a memorable night out or a taste of Miami's finest. It's a culinary journey that lingers in your memory.

The place is nice, but having to wait 45 minutes for a table when you made a reservation is pretty bad. Staff acknowledged the issue and was very attentive. Food was very good. Really noisy place.
