From my experience at Red Carpet ... soup of the day was good, ceasar salad was good andthe crab meat filled ravioli was good. Lasagna under par, squid ink risotto very bad, and fettuccine Alfredo was not bad. Overall ... food just standard or below. Maybe I ce on a bad day for the kitchen, however for the amount of 5 star reviews I found it very disappointing.

Reviews matter. And thank goodness this place has such high ones. That's how I found it, by Googling "best Italian food in Miami." Total hidden gem. If not by word of mouth or reviews, no one would ever even see this restaurant. Tucked away on the SIDE corner of a little run-down strip mall on 8th street just a few feet away from Versailles is some of the best Italian food in town. It's the kind of place that makes you gasp a little bit when the door opens; the contrast is so pronounced. Understated elegance is the vibe inside. And this is a true family joint. A mom and her son. She's the chef and sometimes server, he's the greeter and doer of all other things. And the food... let me just say it was SPECTACULAR. Go. Go. Go. We're 25 minutes away, and we'll be back.

Red Carpet's charm comes from the fact that it is a family-owned restaurant, run by warm and accommodating hosts. The ambiance is quiet and intimate. The food is delicious, and the desserts are the creation of the matriarch of the family. It is my family's go-to place for good food and excellent service.

First time at Red Carpet and we all loved our food. We were received by Alfredo and his mother, who made us feel like we were dining at their home. The food was delicious and Nona’s chocolate truffle dessert was perfect.

The food was delicious. You got to have the ravioli lobster(the sauce and the almond brought a delightful sensation to your palette , and the pistachio pie (the texture of the pie was nice and fluffy and moist). They have great customer service and the ambiance was quiet and nice. You can take a date there or your significant other, and you won’t regret it.
