Reviews for Spiga Ristorante Italiano in Miami Beach, FL
I checked out Last weekend for an early dinner with my BF. We sat on the patio but I'm not sure I would again if I... returned. This strip of Collins is really loud so I'd say unless you really love hearing hip-hop out of blown out speakers ongolf carts - sit inside. The server was super nice and knowledgable. We got a sparkling Rose bottle and it was perfect andlight. As an app we got the Grilled Octopus and it was so fresh and soft. I got the crab ravioli and my bf got Potato Gnocchiand everything was really great and fresh. Their cheese is incredible and pasta is cooked to perfect! Really glad I found outabout the restaurant on Check Please! on PBS in South Florida. Can tell they have lots of regulars which is always a good signin an area that can feel like eating in Times Square sometimes. I could feel the sense of old-school restauranteur pride thatwent into this place! Read more
Cute little Italian restaurant here, very comfy inside with nice cold AC but the outside garden area seemed more popular; either... way the vibe here is relaxing or even romantic if your in the mood. Carpaccio appetizer was fresh and on point. I don't thinkit needed the toast points they added to it but that's just me. The wine list wasn't extensive but had a good amount of qualitypicks at reasonable prices; < $70. The pasta dishes were also very good, my fresh made and thinly cut fettucine with brandycream, pink peppercorn and salmon was something I would come back for although the brandy element seemed to be missing. Thecrab ravioli was also quite good and different than most versions I've seen. I would say it is more on the lighter fresher sidethan on the familiar creamier/richer side. The service was friendly and unhurried rounding out the overall positive experience. Looking forward to a return in the near future. Read more
I stopped by for Sunday supper after a laid back beach afternoon and walk around to grab a bite. I stumbled into this little... spot right on Collins. It's a cozy little spot with a lot of potential. Besides the terrace where I ate they also have anInside dining space. I started with their complementary bread and an olive oil dip. I asked for balsamic but never received it.My appetizer was a plate of (4) small meatballs in a not rich tomato sauce. Their chicken pizziola - their take on chicken parm- was my main course. This was a small chicken breast with cheese & some oregano served with 4 potatoes and a bit of spinach.All in all not bad for a quick bite but the experience could certainly have been better. Service could be a little moreattentive. They charge an 18% automatic tip - they do disclose it - but call it a service charge and also have the "suggestedtip" wording which would leave at a minimum 33% tip. For whatever reason, my experience didn't feel like meriting 33%. Read more
Amazing experience here. We visited Italy a few years back and this was the closest thing we've had to it since. The walnut... pasta made fresh daily was out of this world. Made a last minute reservation and the manager moved some tables around to madesure we were outside surrounded by the beauty of Miami. Servers were fantastic. Limoncello as a dessert was a great addition tothe menu! Will be back! Read more
Solid Italian food. The Burratina salad and carpaccio were good, tasted as expected, and the parpadelle in lamb ragout was very... tasty, you could actually taste that it was lamb. Gnocchi was good (definitely homemade) but a little too soft for my liking butthat's just my personal taste. Service was very good, we would definitely go back/ recommend. Read more
Excellent find! Last night in Miami and was not disappointed. Recommended and certainly a place to revisit. Fresh pasta is a... must. Bruno is great as well although all the staff very friendly! Read more
Absolutely amazing all around! We got the grilled calamari to start and the risotto and crab ravioli for our meal, and finished... with the dessert sampler for two and a couple of cappuccinos for dessert. The food was absolutely exquisite! It really warmed myheart that the owner was very involved all around-- from greeting the guests at the front to checking in on everyone. Theservice was also some of the best that we have gotten in South Beach and everyone was very warm and friendly and made us feelwelcomed and taken care of (I feel that the added in gratuities that most establishments have in South Beach has taken away theincentive for good service in most establishments.) I would 100% come here again and recommend this wonderful restaurant toanyone who is in the area and wants a wonderful evening. At the end of the evening, we were walking back to the hotel and theowner even offered us a ride back. Very sweet, and absolutely wonderful people. Read more
