Caffe Vialetto

Caffe Vialetto is a very nostalgic restaurant located in the central district of Coral Gables. This restaurant has survived many years here and has become a locals favorite. Caffe Vialetto is a small whole in the wall restaurant that has stood its ground and can safely safe it has no reason to leave. They are known for their upscale and elegant ambiance while still giving a family restaurant feel. The owner is always here and takes his time to great all tables and guests whether it is when they are checking in, seated at their table or on their way out. All staff are friendly and provide excellent recommendations to satisfy all customers unique appetites. The food his is delicious and no matter what you settle on you won't be disappointed!

The food here was phenomenal! Was very impressed by the quality of the food and how delicious it was. The prices are definitely on the higher end but the atmosphere is very formal and elegant so expect to enjoy some fine dining with some great wines they offer.

Is this authentic Italian food? No. Is it delicious? ABSOLUTELY! I really enjoyed my meal here and the service was amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment we left the staff were very hospitable and friendly. Our servers were there anytime we needed something and were always checking on us which I appreciated. The ambiance was perfect for a date night very calm and romantic and they even have a little selfie station when you walk in. The potato croquettes were not my fav I'll definitely pass on those next time but my short rib risotto was delicious I would definitely order it again. I enjoyed my friends spaghetti and meatballs as well very flavorful. The cocktails need work but they do have a decent wine menu.

Arrived early before anyone and still waited over 30 minutes for food. Waiter rarely came to check on us but at least person pouring water was nice and funny and he was the one to check why are food was taking long. There was no reason for bad service as there were many waiters and restaurant was empty. Expensive for what we ate. Will not be returning.

The food in this restaurant is simply delicious My family likes to come here for birthday celebrations because their food, service, ambiance is all top of the notch for Italian food.They have valet parking right in front, and there's also street parking nearby. It's a small place. So I suggest to call and make reservations because they're always busy.

my friend was craving pasta so we ended up here. Parking was a little difficult and we waited a bit for a table. But it was worth it. Food was delicious ! Service was friendly. Will return!

After a looong week, what better way to celebrate than a date night at Caffe Vialetto! My boyfriend has been hyping up this restaurant for years, and, last night, we FINALLY got around to trying it. Needless to say -- 100% worth the wait! The ambiance was intimate and hip all in the same moment, with greenery and modern tones alongside a romantic glow and classic decor. We started out with the Creamy Polenta, a warm cornmeal blended with short rib, mozzarella, and truffle. Despite the intensity of the mixed flavors, it was easy to appreciate each element of the dish, combining textures and palettes perfectly. For our main course, we shared the Pear Raviolj & the Frutta di Mare Risotto 3 Ways with Squid Ink. I'm a sucker for the fruit/cheese combo of a pear ravioli, and Caffe Vialetto's did not disappoint. The superstar of this meal, though, was the Risotto. The dish's ominous appearance was misleading, as it instantaneously illuminated my taste buds and reignited my dwindling appetite. As someone who has never been the biggest fan of risotto, this dish absolutely blew mind my mind, and I would eat it a million times over again!Finally, we treated ourselves to the Nutella Panacotta, a tasty but light dessert to top off an outstanding meal. We will most certainly be back :)

Over the years I've heard of Caffe Vialetto but until recently had not tried it and I can't believe it took me this long! The restaurant is a little hidden on the corner of Le Juene and Bird so it's easy to miss but for that reason it makes it feel a little more exclusive.Once we walked in we were greeted by the owner (always a good sign when the owners themselves are there) and seated right away. I do recommend making a reservation if you plan to come on the weekend as it was pretty packed when we got there.They give you complementary bread and bruschetta. The bread was really good, with a little bit of a sweet taste that went really nice with the tomatoes. Our server told us they make it fresh in house each day. For apps we decided to get a few things to try....Shrimp Nuggets: these were amazing and came with a sweet Thai chili guava sauce. This was my personal favorite.Meatballs: these were actually made from Buffalo meat which I never tried before but it was super tasty. It also came with a dollop of ricotta. (I ended up soaking whatever bread was left in the sauce...soo good!)Salmon Sashimi: not what I was expecting to see on the menu but don't pass on it. The salmon was super fresh and the sauce paired perfectly. For my entree I got the pasta special of the day that was made with filet mignon tips and parpadelle. Omg this dish was to die for. The pasta (fresh pasta let me add) was cooked to the perfect al dente. The sauce was rich and decadent and had mushrooms and fresh mozzarella. If you're there and they have this get it! Others at the table got the short rib risotto and the short rib ravioli which all looked amazing.For dessert our server mentioned their most popular one is called the Funk. It's like a take on tiramisu but has blueberry sauce and crushed heath bar pieces and at first it sounded like a lot of different flavors but somehow they all go together! I loved how the hearth bar gave a little bit of crunch. I almost forget to mention the drinks! I'm a whiskey bourbon type of girl so I naturally got the old fashioned and it was hands down one of the best I've had.I can't recommend Caffe Vialetto enough especially if you're celebrating a birthday or anniversary.

Server took this restaurant to another level! He was excellent! (See picture)The food was very flavorful, a unique twist on our interpretation of Italian cuisine. Risottos were excellent, salmon was good, tuna with guava sauce was unexpectedly delish. Let's talk RAVIOLI .... OMG the best hands down!!!!! Do yourself a favor and order the pear ravioli, you won't regret it. And if you want more surprise, the fig was exquisite.Tiramisu was eccentric; missed the coffee flavor I love in a tiramisu. The ambiance was very classy and once again server made our experience one of kind! Will certainly return!

Cafe Vialetto is a staple in the Gables. The restaurant has been on the corner of Le Jeune and Bird Road for a long time. We like to go here for special occasions and it's always great. Definitely make reservations as they are always packed even if it's a weekday. Their pasta is amazing especially the pear ravioli. I also like the tuna tostones. They have different daily specials and offer great meat and fish. I don't think there's a kids menu but we always order the meatballs from the appetizer menu for our 4 year old because he loved them.
