Casadonna

Love this place! The drinks are delicious and the table side lemon dessert has a great presentation, and tastes great. The seasonal pumpkin fiocchi was to die for, it my favorite is the tuna tartar with a healthy serving of caviar on top. This dish is enough for one persons meal, or good to share, and it costs $45. This is a great price for the amount of caviar given, and so so delicious!Service is great and the ambiance and restaurant is absolutely stunning! One of the prettiest restaurants in miami, whether you're sitting indoors or outdoors. But! Prepare to wait - if you have a reservation after 8, I'd prepare to wait at the bar for an hour. Sit back, have a drink, enjoy the view. This is one of Miami's most happening places- and we're all on Cuban time.

Decided to take advantage of the last few days of Miami Spice and opted to check out Casadonna for a girls' night, and I am so glad we did! The food, service, and ambiance were top-tier.We started our meal by selecting one of each of the Miami Spice appetizers. Though we all agreed we were not fans of the burrata, the octopus was definitely the star of the show. Next, we all opted for pasta dishes. The pomodoro was delicious with a nice hint of spice, and the bolognese was hearty and super delicious.To finish off an amazing meal, we tried both desserts, with the chocolate ricotta cake being our favorite. This was one of the best Miami Spice menus I have had in a long time, and I look forward to coming back again.

Love the lamb chops, but the price is absolutely ridiculous. $75 for three lamb chops with no sides! Come on now.Beautiful venue. Service is pretty good.

So we had a girls night for Miami Spice! Perfect way to be introduced to a new spot (for me). Casadonna is so aesthetically pleasing, it was nice to see that we weren't the only ones in there taking pics every 5 min LOL. They offer valet parking at $15 and it was packed on a Thursday evening but the vibe was so calm. Our servers Philip & Alex were so attentive and helpful when it came to selecting dinner options. The Miami Spice menu was $60 for 3 courses (up charge for certain items) with great options. For starters, we ordered the burrata, octopus and king salmon crudo - perfect! The burrata was a nice burst of sweet with the peaches and cheese, the octopus was perfectly prepared and the crudo was a light lemony tangy zest. A great segway into the main course of filet mignon (medium) and lumache. The filet was so tender and juicy! It came with a mushroom sauce and even though I am not a fan of mushrooms, omg it was worth it. To wash it down, I started with a CALABRIAN MARGARITA which was ok. It's made with mezcal which I love but it tasted like they used a little too much puree to mask the taste, same was true for the Paloma I ordered - they used puree (I prefer grapefruit soda or juice) so a suggestion would be use an alternative or less concentrate. For dessert, I had the chocolate ricotta cake which so rich and creamy! Overall this was a great experience for Miami Spice and I look forward to returning to enjoy their full menu

Our visit to Casadonna Miami was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was inviting, and the experience only got better. The drinks were crafted to perfection, offering unique flavors that complemented the meal beautifully.The food was truly spectacular. The Branzino for two is an absolute must-try -- cooked to perfection, it was flavorful and elegantly presented. The pasta bolognese was also a standout dish, with a rich, savory sauce that made it a memorable choice. Each appetizer we ordered was equally impressive, with vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients.The service was exemplary, attentive without being intrusive, and added to the overall wonderful dining experience. We opted for outside seating, which was a perfect choice -- the ambiance was relaxed, the music was perfectly curated for the vibe, and the setting added a great touch to the evening. A special thank you to Anthony M. Our waiter for all the recommendations. Overall, Casadonna Miami delivered an unforgettable dining experience, and we can't wait to return!

I had this restaurant on my list for quite sometime and waited for the Miami Spice promotion. Went with some friends on Wednesday night. The Miami Spice menu looked good and there were many options. That is why we decided to go. We were three people, so we ordered three different appetizers: calamari, tuna and ceviche. The three of them were really good but very disappointed in the size of the portions. Same with the main dishes. I ordered the scallops and literally only two scallops were in my plate. Really? By the time I finished my dinner which cost $65 I was still hungry. I heard this restaurant is also overpriced for brunch time. It is one of those restaurants that has a great vibe and view. Food was good, no doubt, but the positions again very, very disappointed. Not sure I will return to eat. We also ordered drinks and they were so so. Nothing impressive.

The Miami Spice menu here is really a bang for your buck. Everything was delicious, from the starter to dessert. My favorite dish was the Rigatoni, followed by the oysters which were 10/10. Overall, everything was tasty and very reasonably priced. Def coming back here to try the regular menu soon.

Casadonna is a waterfront restaurant with lovely views and charming decor that gives off a coastal Italian vibe. Pros: The valet service and convenient parking right in front of the restaurant are definite pluses. It's also near a park, so you can find additional parking nearby. The drinks are tasty as well.Cons: The food was underwhelming. It lacked any wow factor and tasted rather average, especially considering the high prices. Unfortunately, this seems to be typical of a Groot Hospitality restaurant, expensive food that doesn't deliver on flavor and enjoyable meals.Casadonna feels more like a place to enjoy drinks and the ambiance rather than a spot to have a memorable meal.

Made reservations on OpenTable for girls night for a party of five. Miami spice is coming to an end and this place has been on my list. They offer valet parking for $15 or you can find street parking but I highly recommend valet parking because street parking is very limited unless you get lucky. The entrance to the restaurant is very warm and settling giving very cutesy, very demure vibes. They have a bar and lounge in the entry. Lobby area. The girls and I dressed up to impress we were escorted to our table inside. For Thursday night the place was pretty packed. They're cocktails start at $20 and I had the vita Bella, which is a lychee infused vodka cocktail, which is so cute and good. For my Miami spice appetizer, I had the octopus which was so tender and delicious paired with pesto and Ragu sauce for my entrée. I had the bolognese, which was hearty and flavorful so good! Oh my if I could order another I would but I was getting full. For dessert I have the chocolate ricotta cake which was so rich and decadent. I wanted to check out their outdoor vibe however they had it closed due to the rain.Will definitely come back here to check them out for brunch to check out their outdoor patio deck. Our server, Alex was cute, amazing and informative.

Great date night spot! Our servers name was Steven and he was excellent. From the start he gave us all of his favorite dishes and had a great sense of humor. With the wine list, they had someone come over and help us pick a great bottle from Tuscany we hadn't tried before. Highly recommend this restaurant and will be back again. Celebrated an early birthday and they even gave us a desert. Steven, if you're seeing this you are awesome at your job!
