Reviews for Caffe Vialetto in Coral Gables, FL
Got stalked in the restaurant and then tailed by some people from the parking lot. I got followed that day and my catalytic... converter stolen THAT NIGHT! The service was awful, the food was overpriced and not good. I swear they were eyeing us the wholetime we were in there. The bill was stalled 15 minutes after we gave them our card. It was the most weird thing that everhappened to me. Read more
For a long time I had been looking fwd to dinning at this somewhat famous restaurant and the experience was about average.... Definitely not in sync w the high ratings on different sites. Overall, the experience was pleasant, a little noisy because itwas packed, good thing I had a reservation. While the bread was good, the tomatoes were cut too big to easy lay on the breadwithout falling off - small detail. Appetizers were good but my entre, risotto w shrimps, had not been cooked thoroughly. Therisotto wasn't creamy, seemed a little rushed, risotto is one of those dishes that takes time and has a narrow window of gettingit perfect, not this one. My couple's risotto was much creamier, much better. The desert was just OK, by looking at some of thephotos, looks like they ran out of the dulce de leche that was supposed to be the topping - LOL.

I went for a private event and realized it is a beautiful place. The food was amazing! Really outstanding.
Skip the appetizers and check out all the great pasta - especially the buffalo (bison) meatballs. The decor, din lighting, and... music leave something to be desired. The service was good. Their parking lot is valet-only ???? and an 18% gratuity is addedonto the bill. Read more
Great food and service. Nice ambience. Love the Pear Ravioli, it was perfect. We came for Miami Spice and definitely will come... back. Read more
All I can say is wow. On a whim we decided to pop Out of the Miami airport during an extended layover and picked Caffe... Vialetta. What an amazing choice. Owner was so friendly and accommodating. Food was to die for. Bread is homemade and if Icould I would have taken a few loaves hone in my luggage! We had pear ravioli’s as an appetizer and I could have just eatenthem all night. Then we had the short rib pappardelle and the pasta del ao. Sigh. I’ll dream about them…they are knownfor their short ribs and the short rib pappardelle didn’t disappoint. And the pasta with shrimp mushrooms and sun driedtomatoes was also amazing. This is a must visit place!!! Read more
What a nice surprise to find this fine dining option right in CG. We stopped in not having any expectations as we drove by... frequently but never looked it up. We were pleasantly surprised by the upscale yet cozy atmosphere. Excellent service withvery fresh and flavorful food. I think this qualifies as a hidden gem. The short rib pappardelle was one of the best thingsI’ve had in a long time, and that’s saying something after an extended trip to Miami has given me plenty of opportunities toeat at nice places. It is really special. I was surprised at the good size of the dishes and not overly expensive prices (twolarge meatballs were $9). It’s definitely worth stopping in. We’re going back next week just for the short rib dish. Read more
We had the short rib entree and the pappardelle short rib. Both were very good. My biggest minus on the experience here was that... the bread was extremely disappointing. It seemed the dough was not given enough time to rise. This seems fixable so I hope tosee this in a future visit. Read more
