Il Pastaiolo

The food here was so yummy! Shout out to server Tania and hostess Maria! Both were extremely kind and so attentive despite being so busy. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable when dining at Il Pastaiolo. The outdoor seating area was really cute. Highly recommend!

Our dinner at Il Pastaiolo was nothing short of amazing! Camilla, our waitress, was fantastic--super friendly, attentive, and she made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The homemade pasta was absolutely perfect--fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We also couldn't get enough of the desserts--definitely save room for the Tiramisu, made table side! If you're in South Beach and looking for authentic Italian food with great service, this is the spot. The family and I will be back for sure!

We heard a lot about this place and just had to visit it. Service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and even the manager stopped by to say hello. Lobster ravioli was very good. And the pasta in the linguine scoglio with lobster tasted as good as homemade. But for a lobster dish it didn't feel like there was a lot of lobster in the plate except for the small little bits that were mixed in.

I must admit that we were not intending to come to Il Pastaiolo when we visited South Beach, as the place that we were wanting to try had closed for the night. Pulled this one up after doing some quick research, and I am thankful that we ended up coming here because the food was tremendous!Had the Fettuccine Alfredo (added some shrimp) and the Fettuccine Bolognese. Flavor was amazing on the pastas! But what really wowed me was the quality of the fettucine itself. Like damn, I could just tell that these noodles were on another level quality-wise. We were both pleasantly surprised for sure.Service was great! Even though we got here after 11 pm, staff were super friendly and accommodating.Gotta love it when you stumble on a gem out of nowhere. Will definitely come back, and next time I will actually plan it out.

The best experience ever! We stopped by Il Pastoaiolo the last night of our vacation and wish we would have discovered this gem so much sooner! Maria was our waitress and made it the best dinner ever! She was so personable and attentive! She made many suggestions and ensured we had everything that we needed and enjoyed our dinner! The manager also walks (and dances) around making conversations with everyone! They were both amazing! We started out with a pitcher of watermelon margaritas and finished it off with our appetizers because it was so delicious! My wife ordered the veal and beef meatballs and I ordered the bruschetta with burrata. Please do yourself a favor and ALWAYS upgrade your bruschetta to include burrata. It was the most delicious thing I've experienced! We both decided to get the fettuccini Alfredo (mine with chicken and my wife with chicken and shrimp). The chicken cuts were pretty inconsistent, but delicious! My wife loved her shrimp in hers. The pasta tastes like it is homemade and the Alfredo isn't your typical over powering Parmesan flavor. It's very subtle and delicious! We decided to get the tiramisu to go and wish we would have tried it there. They do a presentation at your table and make it for you! The container that we had seemed to be a deconstructed tiramisu. We enjoyed it regardless, but felt it would have been fun to actually eat it at the restaurant! The ambiance is amazing! There are multiple little tables seated outside. It honestly feels like a family dinner set up. The servers are all walking around checking on tables and having conversations. They actually care that you are there and want you to enjoy your time! The lighting is dim and red due to the decor - the reason why barely any pictures were taken! If you're celebrating your birthday make sure to let them know! They all come out with a Roman candle and cannoli and sing and dance around your table! There were about 5 birthdays the night we went and it was so fun!

First night in Miami Beach and we decided to try this restaurant. Everything was SO amazing. Service was wonderful. Our waitress, Pilar, and the manager were extremely attentive and helpful. Food was delicious. Highly recommend!

We made a reservation, but ended up missing it and going later. There was no wait. Our server was Martina, but all the staff were friendly and helpful. The manager made sure to introduce herself and checked on us a few times during our visit. Even with it being right on the street, they have a nice ambiance. The food and drinks were fresh and came long quickly. Hubby ordered a mojito, which he said was strong but not very minty. We both had the chicken parm. It was pretty good. That was my first time having white sauce on the pasta instead of red, but overall pretty decent. They have large portion sizes. Overall, a good experience.

My husband and I were craving italian in miami beach- this place had RAVING reviews and we knew we had to go!! We sat outside and had a fun time people watching everyone. Our waitress Maria was nice! The music was a little loud, but it was fine. We each got a pasta dish and shared the mojito pitcher which ended up being a great deal! 10/10 recommend for italian in miami beach!
