The food was very good, but service was a little slow. We had a few appetizers and split our main courses. The spicy lobster capellini was divine, but the veal Milanese was very bland and apparently fried in oil vs unsalted sweet, rectified butter. It appeared that there were only 2 servers working tables in both the interior and outside dining areas pf the restaurant. They had bus help to back them, but not the level of service I would expect from a higher end restaurant in the design district. Probably a staffing issue. Will try again.

Service was good. Food was mediocre, the burrata was not very fresh and refrigerated, too cold. The chicken paillard uninspiring

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.
