Azzurro Italian Restaurant & Bar

I ordered room service for dinner from Azzurro during our stay at the hotel. The food was good but I don't think we'd come eat here if we weren't staying at the hotel. My ravioli was good but the sauce was okay. Another day they didn't give us the correct French toast. We went downstairs the following day for breakfast and it was good; better than dinner. My little one enjoyed the chocolate chip pancakes and I split bourbon French toast which was good as well.

Go for antipasto Thursday 5-8pm. $20 gets you the unlimited antipasto bar and a glass wine. Best deal around!

What a great time! Bryan Ruiz delivered exceptional craft cocktails and wonderful entertainment. The General Manager Roman stopped by and really made us feel important. My husband worked in corporate food and beverage for years and this team checked every box. Great value for price paid! Thank you! - Tatiana

Easter Sunday I'm a guest in a party of 12 and off we go to a little restaurant in the Golden Strand time share resort in Sunny Isles. Note this property was recently purchased by Aqualina so I'm not sure how long this will be here before it is imploded like the rest of the throwback properties along this High end condo capital of the world. Both small indoor area as well as ample under cover outdoor seating is available along with a small Tikki bar closer to the water. No view of the beach per say unless you get up and walk but still a nice evening with breezes lead this to be a perfect setting. Seated at 12 top and first thing our waiters offer are cocktails. Red & white wine is pre-ordered by our host this evening so a few cocktails are ordered. 10 minutes later the bartender does not know how to make a variety of what appear to be simple drinks "Appletini" etc.. Hmm.. Strike 1. We let it slide order something else drink some wine and listen to our waiter in his best American / Spanish accent they speak almost NO ENGLISH give us the specials. No offer of regular water just assumption that Pellegrino and bottled flat "Panna" water will be wanted. Note they kept pouring immediately as a bottle ended next bottle opened. No waiting for request for more. Easy way to pad the bill with high priced bottled water. Diverse northern Italian menu with lots of different options but certainly not your typical Italian entrees here. Some specials seemed interesting as he asked us if we would like salads before meal. A few order salads and low and behold here comes an array of appetizers which our host ordered for the table. No mention of the abundance of platters being ordered so we immediately through the flag up to cancel the salads. Entirely too much high pressure to pad the bill between the water and the push for Salad here that is strike 2. Nice Foccaica bread with olive oil for dipping is presented. Appetizers were Fried Calamari with Marinara sauce with fried Zucchini. This was fresh and quite good. Platters of Mozzarella and Capresse salads along with platters of Italian meats, cheeses were also ordered. Tomatoes were simply OK and mozzarella was not homemade by any stretch. Meats were also nothing special. Passable but certainly not anything to write home about. Entrees: I'll simply list them and their rankingOsso Bucco with homemade risotto was excellent $42.00 but ala carte and the dish itself for the price points was very smallFilet Mignon over Finger ling potatoes also $42.00 was also top shelf meat with a nice presentation but again certainly no bargain at these price points and did not compare to a top shelf steak house at these numbers. Rack of lamb was good and tasty if not a bit overdone. Can only assume as a special of the day for Easter many of these were pre made? Lobster Ravioli were a bit on the fish side I'd pass on this one in the future. Multiple surf and turf specials ordered which were 1 GIANT SHRIMP butter flied and grilled with choice of the filet mignon or rack of lamb. Close to $60.00 for this dish. I'd have to say highway robbery here. Shrimp was OK but certainly not an $18.00 add on to the existing plate. Mushroom ravioli special was out of this world with a light cream sauce. Chilean Sea bass were top shelf pieces of fresh fish lightly seasoned and absolutely on the money. In short I simply can't balance the price points for the amount of food or its overall value. Was it good tasty, fresh for the most part yes very much so. Was it completely overpriced without question? The padding of the bill with the never ending bottled water or push for Salads was uncalled for. Waiters need to be more English oriented as we have yet to succumb to being a non English society here in Sunny Isles. All and all 3 Stars seem to be about right. Don't think they will be here much longer with the impeding construction of this resort, but I doubt I'll be returning here before their demise.

I do not recommended this place. The food is mediocre at best and everything is top dollar. The wine is pretty not great. I love Italian food. And I am surprised I don't like this place. I wish I would have tried Timo. The atmosphere isn't great either. It's just a tiki bar. I am dressing since there are no walls. It's in a hotel and if you go through the lobby they get mad at you. Take your money and eat somewhere else. But if u eat here definitely do not get the cabernet or the veal. You will be disappointed.

I went there for breakfast in the morning had a very nice server I got the buffet I really recommend their waffles. It is Bussin. oh they had a lot of different options and almost everything you want. I really liked it I would go back there.

Everything we tried was absolutely phenomenal! From the escargot to the tiramisu ever single dish was to die for. Our experience wouldn't have been as great without Salvatore. He was amazing! Omg! You have to try the homemade limoncello....wow just wow! Must try! Worth every penny

This was great Italian food. I got the eggplant appetizer , and I would definitely come here again. I went here with my friends and we were served very quickly, and the experience was enjoyable. The service was great and our waitress was very friendly.

We are visiting Florida for my birthday and also for a babymoon and we were wanting a nice restaurant with good ambiance and great food! Azzuro did not disappoint! The service was excellent from start to finish. They brought out bread at the beginning which was yummy. We ordered the fried calamari for an appetizer and it also came with fried onion and zucchini strings. I was craving some calamari and was pleased. For dinner I got the sea bass and my husband got the lobster ravioli special. They were both delicious! My fish was cooked perfectly! And then we finished with a tiramisu, which we are pretty picky about as we try them every restaurant that has them. It was one of the best we've had. It is on the high end price was but we think you get what you pay for and it was worth it. I would definitely recommend Azzuro to anyone looking for high quality Italian with a great atmosphere.
