3.7⭐️
After
my
first
visit,
I
was
about
to
give
it
a
5
star
(4.5
to
be
exact),
but
in
the
meantime,
I
went
again,
and
then
it
dropped
for
me
to
3.7.
At
first,
I
was
pretty
positively
surprised
by
how
good
it
was!
It
was
my
friend’s
recommendation.
For
starters,
they
offer
a
complimentary
bread
and
cheese
spread,
which
is
phenomenal!
My
friend
told
me
that
the
best
octopus
he
ate
in
Miami
was
here,
so
we
tried
that.
It
was
nice,
soft,
and
buttery,
I
must
admit,
but
the
price
is
a
little
peppery.
The
price
of
a
bottle
of
wine,
or
even
just
a
glass,
is
reasonable.
They
have
nice
glassware.
Of
course,
we
all
ordered
their
special
—
Cacio
e
Peppe
con
Tartufo
Nero.
It
was
terrific,
especially
the
experience
that
they
mix
the
pasta
in
a
cheese
wheel
in
front
of
you
on
your
table,
which
many
Italian
restaurants
don’t
do.
I
highly
recommend
ordering
it.
I
must
note
that
the
truffles
are
not
fresh
or
freshly
shaved,
but
that
is
fairly
reflected
in
the
price.
For
the
dessert,
we
ordered
both
versions
of
semifreddo.
It
was
one
of
the
best
semifreddos
I
tried,
and
I
ate
amazing
ones
in
Europe.
I
highly
recommend
that
as
well.
The
interiors
are
pretty
nice,
and
the
overall
INDOOR
atmosphere
is
lovely.
Now
the
part
why
the
rating
went
down
after
the
2nd
visit…
Whenever
you
go,
please
make
an
indoor
reservation
prior.
Unfortunately,
we
didn’t
make
a
reservation,
so
we
were
sat
outdoor.
However,
for
the
entire
80
minutes
we
were
there,
and
even
when
we
left,
half
of
the
tables
inside
were
empty,
and
we
asked
multiple
times
to
switch
indoors
if
someone
doesn’t
show
up
for
reservation,
but
the
staff
did
not
react
or
cared.
The
outdoors
are
dirty
(please
refer
to
the
photos
of
the
pillows).
I
don’t
understand
how
a
restaurant
would
seat
their
guests
there.
And
mosquitoes
will
bite
you.
That
was
very
disappointing
and
bittersweet
because
I
was
delighted
after
my
first
visit.
After
all,
Italian
restaurants
in
Miami
are
always
a
gamble.
Also,
we
ordered
Calamari
Fritti
for
the
appetizer
and
Linguine
Frutti
di
Mare,
and
the
calamari
was
too
chewy.
In
conclusion,
I
would
still
recommend
you
to
go
and
try
for
yourself.
Just
make
sure
to
make
a
reservation
for
indoor
and
order
the
dishes
I
mentioned.
You
will
be
happy
and
satisfied!
