Alaine's Osteria

**Restaurant Review: A Hidden Gem in Miami**This is by far the best Italian restaurant in all of Miami. We are incredibly lucky to have this family-run gem in our area. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. The service here is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The food matches the excellent service, with each dish crafted to perfection. I highly recommend their lobster ravioli, any of their specials, and the pear fiocchi. Every visit to this restaurant is a delightful experience, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine.

although the food was good, I took exception to the up charge for two additional bread rolls. we started with two, with rock hard pads of butter. I have never been to a quality eatery that up charges $1.50 for two extra rolls. it was not the money it was just low class. I won't be back.

We are regulars at another Italian restaurant close by but wanted to try this place for months and could never get a reservation here! They very rarely answer their phone and when they do they are always very short and never have any reservations available.So I called on a Sunday night right when they opened, I actually had to call 5 times before they answered the phone. I asked for a 5:30 reservation for two and was told they were booked for the night and were not taking any more reservations but we were welcome to come in and see what the wait would be at 5:30 and that the bar was open seating and on a first come basis. So we figured let's give it a shot. So we get there around 5:30/6:00 expecting a 30-45 minute wait.Well to our surprise when we opened the door there was ONE table occupied! We had to wait about 5 minutes for the hostess to great us. Once seated our server was quick to greet us and was very pleasant.I ordered one of the specials which was a seafood risotto.Very tasty but a small portion for the price(but isn't everything these days). My wife ordered the lasagna. Well, it was the WORST I have ever seen. There was NO pasta at all! None! It looked like they took a ladle of meat sauce and put it on an appetizer size plate and put a slice of deli sliced mozzarella on top and sprinkled some parsley on top! Maybe it was supposed to be a joke or a gag to someone? Who knows.We flagged down the waitress who said yes that doesn't look like a lasagna it's usually stacked pretty high. Ok then why did it even leave the kitchen like that?!Wife asked to have it replaced with another pasta dish which the server did and brought it out quickly.Then when we got the check the "lasagna" was still on the bill!!!Took 10 minutes for the waitress to come back and when I told her she said she didn't know why it was still on the bill... are you not the one who printed my check? Did you not make sure it was removed from the bill? To say it was very disappointing would be an understatement!We will stick to Ana Capri from now on and we will not be back to this place.

Quaint, Little restaurant nestled in the heart of Palmetto Bay. It sits off Old Cutler and right next to Deering Bay Estates. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is relaxing. The staff is attentive and will take good care of you! The menu is well priced for a small neighborhood Italian restaurant. I highly recommend

Absolutely delicious food, lovely ambiance and incredible service. 10/10, would come again!

Alaine's Osteria is a great date night spot. We have tried several appetizers, but I can't pick anything else besides the pear gorgonzola fiocchi for an entree when I go! It is just so good! This week, we tried the butternut squash bisque, which was good, creamy, and cheesy. I'm also happy that my go-to entree comes with a side salad. We always have great service, especially from Carlos, who remembers us every time we go. This is a popular neighborhood spot, so be sure to make reservations before going! You won't really have many options on nearby places if the wait time is too long! The portions are large, so expect to take some of it home, and it's just as good for lunch the next day.

I loved the atmosphere! The place itself is dark inside, with cute white tables and mini candles. Perfect date night restaurant. The food was amazing, probably the best Italian food I have had in Miami ( I have been to Fratellino). My boyfriend had the chicken parmigiana and the chicken was MASSIVE! Both sauces for the entrees were delicious. Great proportions. The hostess was very nice and the servers were on point. I would definitely come again!

The food was only surpassed by the service. We had a wonderful experience at Alaine's Osteria. We hosted my sisters birthday lunch in March and it was awesome. The pasta dishes were delicious. Everything we tasted on the menu was such an amazing bite. The restaurant is spacious and has private rooms for intimate dining experiences. 10/10 recommend.

Alaines Osteria is delicious. It's family owned and operated. The family is so helpful. I always have the pear purses. My husband always picks something with meat or seafood. We love it!

it Is so good. It's a hidden gem in palmetto bay.I recommand getting dessert if you go u have to try it
