Riviera Focacceria Italiana - Miami

Best Italian place in Miami. Outstanding food and service.

Hands down the most authentic italian food I've had in Miami in many years. This place is understated and unpretentious, unlike many local restaurants in Miami. Definitely will return!

The food and service were outstanding. The owner was incredibly helpful. Authentic Italian cuisine that truly impressed.

We had a wonderful time at the restaurant! Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive to our one-year-old daughter. Our other two daughters really enjoyed their spaghetti al pomodoro, which was a great win for us, and the portion sizes were just right. My partner and I started with the bresaola as an appetizer, and it was excellent—served with thinly sliced parmesan cheese that complemented the meat perfectly. I ordered the linguine di mare, which was quite good, though it had a strong taste of the sea. It was as if the seafood juices had been added to the sauce, so it might not be for everyone. My partner chose the ravioli with ragù genovese, which was the perfect portion and very flavorful. Overall, we had a delightful experience, and we will definitely come back to try new dishes in the future!

Some of the best pasta dishes in Miami! The rest of their menu also features the finest Italian food I've had in the city. If you see that most of the customers dining there are Italian, you know it's the real deal. The service is excellent as well. I highly recommend this hidden gem!
