Caffe Italia - Coral Gables

It used to be a great place. Food still is good. Service is HORRIBLE. Having to wait to have our order taken when the place is almost empty is ridiculous. Only an Argentine lady was candid and took care of our table while it wasn’t ‘her’ table to serve. The rest of waiters etc, walking around not caring for anybody. Needs to improve. Whatever happened to America.

The food was horrible at best, and way overpriced, $193.29 with out gratuity, the pizza was cool and tasteless , my wife order the lamb ribs and they were overdone and had a very bad foul smell to it, the Ossobuco that the other couple order was also cool and tasteless and according to them also had a funny smell/taste. Went it came time to pay the hand written bill was wrong, the sales tax in Miami-Dade is 7% and they have their own rules and are charging 8%. Went we complained a drunken and dirty old men came out screaming in Spanish with a horrible attitude saying that he had been here for 35 years and he knew what he was doing, went I requested a copy of the hand written bill he began to make treads after a while they gave me a copy of the bill. The food is way overpriced, tasteless and rotten, for a neighborhood run down place like this and yes I will be filling a complaint with the Florida Department of Revenue. Save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else

This is a fantastic little spot! The parking is limited, and the restaurant is cozy, but don’t let that deter you. The chef and their dishes can rival those found in Milan, Naples, or Buenos Aires—yes, the owner is Argentine. The flavors are exceptional, and the portions are generous. I'm still exploring their menu. They also offer an impressive wine selection!

The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The chicken parmigiana was the best I've ever tried, and the filet mignon was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. I also had the mussels in a red sauce instead of the usual white, and they were phenomenal!

I've been dining at this restaurant for a few years, and the food is absolutely incredible. It never disappoints. It's the best Italian cuisine in Miami. They have a fantastic variety of wines at great prices, making it the best selection in the city. The wine room adds a unique and cozy touch for those looking for a bit of privacy. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this Italian gem!
