Boia De

4.5 stars for Boia De.We spent a weekend in Miami and were fortunate to dine at Boia De. This was the best meal we've had in Miami!Food - 5 stars.The food was fantastic. Portions are on the smaller side, which we appreciated as it allowed us to sample more dishes. Every dish was expertly prepared, with the Bufala Ricotta Gnocchi Alla Norcina being our favorite. Other standouts included the Pappardelle Alla Lepre and Beef Tartare.Service - 5 stars.The service was top-notch. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We sat at the chef's counter, which made the experience more interactive as the kitchen staff personally served us and described each dish in detail.Ambiance - 3.5 stars.The location is a bit odd--it's actually tucked away in a shopping center next to a laundromat. The interior is comfortable but casual, and the restaurant feels like it would be at home in Williamsburg. There are only 7-8 tables and a tiny kitchen, so things are a bit cramped, but the vibe is still intimate and pleasant.

Seriously what is not to love!We tried everything on the menu and loved it allllllll!!! If I HaD to pick my favs they would be the tagliolini nero, angolotti, okay all the pastas really lol. Service was wonderful. Can't wait to go back.

We have been wanting to eat here for many many months until finally I made a reservation for one at the counter. And I have to say I was not disappointed. This is a restaurant you would drive by 100 times and not give a 2nd thought to even go into as it nested in a very unassuming shopping center.The food here is of the best quality and not pretentious at all - just well thought out and utterly delicious. I was able to try 3 dishes, baked clams, scallops and pasta with grouper along with one desert, crispy Tiramisu.I am looking forward to going back and trying others. The service was perfection and the server offered many great suggestions.

Boia de has been on my list of restaurants for a while. The reservation system can be a bit tricky if you're not prepared, which is the main reason it took so long to try it. I'd say it was 100% worth the wait. This is a family style menu so everything you order is meant to be shared. When our waitress told us 3 plates per one person is the suggested amount, we were kind shocked but the orders are on the smaller side so I understand why. We were a table of three and we ordered about 7-8 plates.We ordered the beef tartar and I loved the crispy chips it came with. The crispy polenta was something we saw a lot of online and it was excellent as well. One of my favorite dishes of the night was the zucchini cestini. This plate was one the smaller side, being a group of three I ended up with only two pieces. The gnocchi pomodoro was my second favorite pasta of the night. For dessert, we really couldn't decide and ordered three. We were truly blown away with the crispy tiramisu. If I could go back in time I'd order two of these. The budino was very rich and creamy. This would be good for a larger group as a few bites will do the trick. The carrot cake was our least favorite. I would probably skip that next time.

Just tried boia de for the first time. It is located in a shopping center with a coin laundry. Restaurant is small with only 7 indoor tables plus the bar. I would not want to sit outside. One of the oddest Michelin star places I have been to. The waitresses were not very presentable. One of the waitresses had a shirt that was very ripped under the arm. The plates were chipped. We ordered wine and the waitress stepped outside in a bad neighborhood to sample the wine. . That was odd. We tried to sample all the food on the menu and the desserts. They recommended sharing the plates and I must say I was overwhelmed by all the dishes. The salad was incredible. It was crispy and the dressing was incredible. The tartare was delicious. The black spaghetti is a cold dish but it is worth trying. Delicious meal. There was not a single dish we didn't fully enjoy. We loved it all. Tiramisu is called crispy because they make it fresh. They use pavesini cookies to make it!

Top tier! Everything was amazing! I met with some friends for a meeting and it was a great experience from the beginning. Olivia and Blake were very on point. They were gracious and made sure to check on us pretty frequently. The vibe was quaint with a lot of character, clean & fresh smelling bathrooms. It's perfect for a happy hour and to unwind. For cocktails, we started with a Sangria and Bergronis. The Sangria was pretty light but very refreshing (I only needed 2). Every dish was so flavorful! We ordered an assortment as recommended: kanpachi crudo, beef tartare, veal sweetbreads, tagliolini Nero, pappardelle alla lepre and lamb ribs fra diavola. 5/5 the kanpachi crudo, beef tartare and lamb ribs were my favorite. We ended with a surprise bday dessert for my bday! Crispy Tiramisu and Chocolate Budino which was so rich. This is definitely a top place for me now and I will definitely return next time I'm on this side of town

After months of waiting for a reservation I got it. Being able to dine at Michelin Star restaurant was amazing to say the least. Service was impeccable. Great ambience, you were able to speak to each other. And food was to die for 1000/10. Can't wait to come back

One of the best meals I had in Miami. I wish I had planned ahead and made an earlier reservation. They were able to accommodate us with outdoor seating since we arrived much earlier. Even through the heat, food was delicious. We spent quite some time after ordering various dishes because we wanted to try everything. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and try more. I must say the one dish I was so excited to try - the potatoes and caviar with creme fraiche wasn't all I'd hoped it would be. Everything else made up for it even though my photos aren't appropriately captioned with exactly what we ordered.

Finally a place that doesn't value showing off and party vibes. This is strictly if you appreciate the art of good food. The pasta was perfect, al dente. The lamb ribs fall off the bone! The dessert oh my...I haven't had a Budino this good since I went to Italy. The tiramisu is to die for! The only downside the neighborhood is not the most accommodating for walking around, located next to a laundromat but the service and food makes up for it! Will be back!

Truly spectacular experience This is a restaurant that you get "that feeling" once you arrive. The effort and care are remarkable. The food experience is world class from small plates to large plates to desert Remarkable salad ....and dressing was wowRemarkable ricotta gnocchi Remarkable pasta stuffed zucchini flowersRemarkable baked clams with insane bread crumbs Yes even the caned beer was GREAT
