INTIMO

We were seated very quickly (immediately) when we arrived on time for our 8:00pm reservation on a Friday night. Our waitress was thorough, attentive, and very helpful - especially when we had questions on what to order. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned & he expressed, it was the best he had ever tasted. We also ordered water & we were given a choice between flat & sparkling water (bottled in a glass bottle). These were $7/ea I believe. Our food came out very quickly: first, with our appetizer, then the rolls, and then with our duck entree. Everything was cooked well & was hot when it arrived. PULPITO MOCHICA (appetizer)* grilled octopus w/veggies - One of the best things we ordered.- We demolished this dish. It was hot, cooked well, and bursting with flavor EL GECKO DRAGÓN DE GIANTI (roll)* fried shrimp + cream cheese - this was actually my favorite thing that we ate. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. INTI MAKI* (roll)* Salmon sushi + fried shrimp- this roll had truffle oil on it... which took some getting used to, as it's a very strong flavor, but it was still tasty. ARROZ CON PATO A LA CHICLAYANA* Duck (shareable portion) - I was disappointed with the amount of Duck we received in this dish, as from looking at pictures, it looks the regular portion has the same amount of meat. We basically paid double for a large bed of rice and lentils (and we barely ate any of that). - the Duck was cooked well... but not as flavorful as I had hoped. DESSERT* I can't remember for the life of me what it was called... but it was light a fluffy + A massive amount of whipped cream, some fruit, and a cookie made from almonds (or pecans) that melted in my mouth. - But, it was delicious! Ambiance:- it was intimate... but too loud for my taste. - we were seated by the front door where a very skilled instrumental artist was playing... but the instruments (and her) were too close to our table. I couldn't hear what my husband was saying unless he yelled, and the instruments were so close it hurt my ears at time. We would come back during our next trip... but we would request to be seated farther away from the door & the instruments.

The meal of a lifetime. The ambiance is great. Beautiful restaurant. Food presentation was also beautiful. The clásico ceviche was the best thing I have ever eaten! Franko did an amazing job with helping us choose. The hamachi bomb was interesting and so so good!!

This was easily our favorite meal on our trip to Miami! Everything from the service to the ambiance and food was on point. Our server was Zuliana and I would 100% request her on a future visit. She knew her stuff and had a lot of experience working here. She provided us with the best recommendations and was honest and warm. Nico was a manager who visited our table several times to check on us, and he too was fantastic! They have an incredible team here at INTI.MO.The food... omg the food. I'm so glad we asked Zuliana for recommendations because we wouldn't have tried half the things she suggested, but they turned out to knock our socks off. The tiradito de hamachi was one of my favorites. It had such incredible complex flavor and wonderful textures. A home run.She also suggested we try some of their torched items. We selected the conchita parmesana nigiri and tuna sushi bomb. Both were torched tableside and each was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures. I would have happily ordered more of each!Our final savory course was the classic ceviche with all of the seafood! It was one of the best ceviches I've had, and I love that we got to try so many different types of seafood within.We also tried a couple of desserts, lucuma ice cream and a dulce de leche dessert. The latter was quite rich and sweet but good. The ice cream was a revelation, and a new flavor we had never tried before.From the food to the service and everything in between, INTI.MO stole our hearts and will hands down be the first restaurant I book if I return to Miami in the future!

This Peruvian place is one of our favorites, the food, cocktails and service is spotless. A cozy place in the caos of south beach, that delivers fresh, excellent and unique interpretation of Peruvian classic dishes, pair with superb cocktails.

The rating didn't disappoint us! This place had great food! We order the sushi platter, the octopus, the lamp, black cod and salmon. (Go with salmon ;) ). The serving for each plate was good. The platter was even shared amongst 7 people as well. The service was great! Very attentive and informative. The ambiance was absolutely great for having a drink, group gatherings or even for dates.

When your goddaughter says she wants sushi for dinner. Sushi it is!Closest restaurant was Íntimo so gave it a try since friends have spoken highly about it.Cocktails are strong and that's always a good idea! Ordered different rolls and share among us all. Can't remember the names but some were extremely good while others lacked in flavor. Dessert was definitely the winner and the dulce le leche reminded me of the one I had plenty in Argentina.There's closer sushi places far better than this establishment. Server wasn't very attentive had to keep calling the host to get him to order food/drinks.

Delicious Peruvian food with along with a stylish and flavorful Japanese influence.We started with a Smokey Mezcal and Fresh Passion Fruit Margarita with a hint of fresh Peruvian lime juice and it even came with an extra shot of the super smooth mezcal. Beautiful presentation, with fresh flowers, gold leaf and dry ice. So happy our server Sebastian recommended it.Our wonderful server also recommended we start with the Tuna Sushi Bomb topped with Foie Gras. Such a wild pairing idea, but he said it was a flavor bomb, and after it was caramelized Table side with a butane torch it really was a perfect bite. We even said if we had any room left after our entrees we would order another round for dessert. For entrees, My husband had the Short Rib Pappardelle and he finished every bit. I had a creamy, Seafood Paella which was very good. Excellent quality products and I love that for fine dining they did not at all skimp on portion size. And the service from the Hostesses, to the gracious Managers who walked around and spoke with every table to Sebastian who was so knowledgeable about the menu and helpful. Thanks to everyone at @inti.momiami for providing us with such a great fantastic dining experience in South Beach! #APerfectDay #ilovetravel #DogMom #foodie #tampabayrealtor #GratefulandBlessed#bridget_breland_realtor#Bridgie_Breland_Foodie #yelptampabay #yelpelite #southbeach

The food here was amazing. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and so well presented.Went here for a birthday dinner. The ambiance was intimate even though the restaurant was booked out. The service was great we had a party of 14. They did a great job of getting our orders and brining out the food and drinks.It's a great concept and the sushi was great.

I fully expected to scorn South Beach's flashy facades as having more sizzle than substance. But my dinner at INTIMO proved even a scene-y place like this can surprise and delight with a deft kitchen and live musical entertainment to boot.At first glance, INTIMO felt pulled out of a glitzy magazine spread-- all aquamarine and gold hues, underwater themed decor and live violinists playing covers of top 40 hits, which is what made the place feel VERY Miami. Nestled inside these decadent trappings is this excellent Japanese Peruvian restaurant with delicious bites. Skeptical as I was when I arrived, one bite of their sushi rolls and sip of their cocktails had me transfixed in wide-eyed admiration.Far from basic nigiri and sushi pieces, here were some thoughtfully composed plates as much as for savoring as they were for picture taking amidst these see and be seen tables. INTIMO is both an entertainment space and gastronomic contender. It taught me not to judge a restaurant by its cover, or its violinists.

Great fusion restaurant but nothing over the top or that sets it apart. Best to pick one cuisine type and master it.
