    Pretty atmosphere. Service was Miami average but well below what you would expect for a $$$ restaurant. Dishes were nothing special. They were out of several items. Complimentary bread was not fresh. Was celebrating a birthday and they made no attempt to make it special at all. Will not be returning. Too many other great options in Miami.

    The food was delicious and of great quality for the price. Our server, Alan, was very friendly. The ambiance was relaxing, and the view of the boats made it an amazing experience. I will definitely come back again.

    Great service in a beautiful setting. Rafael gave great suggestions and the service was excellent. The octopus carpaccio was yummy. The only thing it was the loud music that made talking difficult and we were sitting outside. Recommend for sure. Coming back.

    Requested outside and reserved a week in advance and did not get my table, apps came before bread… Not servers fault he got triple sat. Management was filling waters and doing bussed activities when they need to check in with host stand…

    From the riverside breeze to that Sette & Sette cocktail—everything felt classy yet cozy. It’s a love letter to Italian nights.

    I don’t usually order meatballs but these were like… whoa. The whipped ricotta sealed the deal. Felt like a warm hug in tomato sauce.

    Sat by the windows, ordered the lobster linguini. Whole lobster. Garlic scampi. One of those rare meals where you just go silent.
