Kanoli

I wish I checked Yelp first...Enjoying my walk on Ocean Dr, I noticed 2 musicians/singers setting up to play in the restaurant patio. Long story short, the guy "drumming" wasn't really playing the conga drums...just an illusion!!! Food was really delicious, but wayyyyyy too expensive! I ordered the Penne Vodka with Chicken ($30), delicious but pricey. Also, expect an 18% service charge to be added on the bill! Yikes!!Drinks were very sweet and strong! Just a heads up, no free water....$9 for flat or sparkling waterService was great but I cannot justify the prices here, eat somewhere else

Italian food at its worst as a new yorker visiting south beach. I came here only because a friend lived in the area and she warned me before hitting this place how touristy it was and might not be that good, but the reviews looked ok.I had the caeser salad with grilled chicken. It was ok, kinda hard to fuck that up. Salad and chicken seemed fresh, dressing was tangy and it had fresh slivers of parmesan. However no croutons and no lemon.My friend had linguine with shrimp. Looked eh, but I can tell the shrimp were not fresh. No tail on shell is a dead giveaway. I gave it a taste and the pasta was overcooked and the dish was bathed in a heavy white sauce broth, almost soup. Dinner didnt even come with a bread basket. Come on.

Food was delicious and came out super quick. The workers are so nice and accommodating. Seating me by the heater because I was cold and re arranging the tables. They are super fun and sweet. Loved the love performance was a great addition to the dinner!

Service was good waitress was attentive. It was a Saturday they had live music it was good not overly loud. I had the vodka pasta with shrimp, good flavor. My boyfriend got the spicy shrimp linguine and it didn't have much flavor kind of bland and tasted a little fishy.

We stopped here late and had a couple of apps and churrasco steak. The first app was crab cake and it was a lot of breading flavor on the crab cake was ok. Was your typical deep fried basic crab cake. We also had the mussels and they were good quality mussels. The broth was a little watered down but they were good. The steak was excellent they cooked it well it wasn't as tuff as some of the other churrasco steaks I have had. It came with rice and black beans which had good flavor. The outdoor upper patio has hookah so if that's not your thing make sure you are aware. We sat there not knowing and the smoke from the hookah was making me nauseous since so many people were doing it. We were surrounded by three tables smoking hookah. Atmosphere was a 3 with the smoke. The food was 4 it's right by the beach nice place to grab a meal.

What's great about this place is the vibe. Sitting outside and people watching saved this experience. There was nice live music nearby. We were a large group and well attended to. Someone was always nearby waiting to see if you needed anything. Where they lose is the food being bland. A few of us tried to season pasta dishes with the cheese, salt and pepper but most food went to waste. I had the spicy shrimp linguine and nothing was spicy about this dish. I gave up trying to season it. If I were to go again it would just be for happy hour and people watching.

Really enjoyed it here. Customer service was above and beyond. Thank you to our waiter Murad. Food, drinks and entertainment were all great and we decided to order hookah as well. Definitely a great spot to try! Be careful with the Bulldog drinks they will get you lol

Tremendous entertainment with an amazing classical guitarist and a belly dancer that was both stunning and incredibly talented. Generous portions and well prepared.

Kanoli exceeded my expectations during a recent dinner visit. From the moment we walked in, the warm, and welcoming staff set the tone for a great meal. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, recommending the perfect wine to accompany our dishes.We started with a classic Caprese salad, featuring ripe tomatoes. For the main course, I opted for the Fettuccine Bolognese, which was perfectly seasoned. My dining companion enjoyed the wood-fired margherita pizza, which boasted a crispy crust and a delightful blend of flavors.To finish, we shared a New York cheesecake, which was light, airy, and a perfect end to the meal. The prices were reasonable given the quality of the food and service. Kanoli is a gem for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy setting.

The location and outdoor seating was beautiful. The service was ok. The food was a large menu which was a hint something's would not be good....and we found that to be true. The crab cakes got rave reviews! The chicken wings are just that - nothing to order again. The vodka pasta gave more craft Mac n cheese. It was a birthday celebration so the song and firecrackers were a nice surprise.
