    First time in Riviera Focacceria and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The focaccia itself and pastas are to die for. The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.

    We ordered the gnocchi and the salmon. Both were really good. However, the best one was the eggplant. Overall good, but a bit pricy for the quality and quantity.

    We had an amazing time, our server was so sweet and attentive to our 1 year old girl. Our other two daughters enjoyed very much their Spaghetti al Pomodoro, which is a win for us, and the portion was just right. My husband and I ordered Bresaola as an appetizer, and it was excellent; it had thinly-sliced Parmesan cheese that paired perfectly with the meat. I decided to go for Linguine di Mare which was very good, although it definitely had the taste of the sea. You could tell that the juices of the seafood were added to the sauce, so a little bit goes a long way. My husband picked Ravioli Ragú Genovese which was a perfect amount and delicious. Overall our visit was very pleasant, and we will definitely go back to try new things.

    Best pasta dishes in Miami! And the rest of their menu is also among the best Italian food I have had in town. If most of the table around you are Italian customers, you know this is the real deal :-) Great service too, Highly recommend this hidden gem!

    Honestly, I had modest expectations from restaurant on a strip, but this had decent ratings on Open Table and was close to the hotel, so why not? And I am SO GLAD I did! The fried artichoke was almost tempura style it was so light. The focaccia bread which they are known for was incredible, and the pasta (I had lasagna, an easy measure of Italian sauce quality) and it was outstanding! Topped off the meal with pistachio mousse, INCREDIBLE service and even wines I rarely find in my travels, all for a very approachable price. LOVED it! I'll be back on my next trip to Miami!

    This return visit was wonderful. Our waiter was terrific (attentive but not hovering) and the food was excellent. My favorite was the lightly golden-fried artichokes starter. New to me was the raspberry tart dessert — tasty & delicate.
