Zucca

Zucca is one of those beautiful restaurants, that have food that is just as good. Truly a beautiful spot in a centric coral gables location, Zucca is an upscale Italian spot that serves some of the best pasta dishes I have ever had in Miami. Not to mention the service and the ambiance is top tier. You can tell they really put their customers first, and it shows in the service . They have delicious appetizers , one of my favorites is the fried zucchini flowers. The pasta dishes are all amazing but if I had to recommend one it would be the tagliatelle with mushrooms- the textures and flavors are to die for. The special of the night was a short rib ragu with red wine, it was amazing - comparable to what I've tried in Italy. You also must try their tiramisu, it's wonderful.They have great cocktails as well - one with mezcal and passion fruit I tried was delicious , and even my friends who didn't like mezcal enjoyed it. This place is one of my favorites in Miami, and I highly recommend coming by. It perfect for date night, family dinner, or business .

By far one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant in a long time. All the important elements came together for an amazing experience. The service was so on point! I can't believe how many people checked in on us, including the manager.My friend and I chose the Miami Spice lunch menu and Aperol Spritz for a drink. I got the Gamberini in Tempura, the Tagliata di Filetto di Manzo con polenta, and tiramisu al limoncello.The ambiance was elegant, and they even had a bartender on wheels.Parking was available via pay to park on the street.

Zucca, nestled in the historic Hotel St. Michel in Coral Gables, offers an exceptional dining experience with impeccable service. From the moment we arrived, the waiter was incredibly attentive and brought a fun, engaging energy to our meal. The Miami Spice menu featured generously sized cocktails for just $11, and the wines were reasonably priced between $10 and $15.The Italian ristorante and bar exudes sophistication, serving soul-satisfying, authentic Italian cuisine in a refined setting. We started with appetizers like the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, adorned with white beech mushrooms and Grana Padano, and the Crispy Potato Balls with parmigiano cream and truffled egg emulsion, both of which were outstanding. The Tuna Crudo with marinated watermelon and cucumber mint broth was a refreshing highlight.For entrees, the Bucatini with Lamb Ragu and pistachios was a standout, as was the Open Grilled Sea Bream with fennel and orange salad. The Grilled Hanger Steak, paired with potato croquettes and gorgonzola, was equally impressive.Don't miss dessert-- the Tiramisu Della Casa is a must-try, and the gelato, particularly the vanilla, was surprisingly memorable. Zucca's ambiance, complemented by velvet curtains and a quiet, intimate setting, ensures a dining experience that's both comfortable and sophisticated.

This is an elegant Italian restaurant located inside the renovated St Michael hotel in Coral Gables. The building is very pretty and historical. Inside, the restaurant the decor is classic and timeless. The service was impeccable. I tried their Miami spice lunch - APPETIZER - Tempura Prawn served over a black lentil salad, with burrata cream and crispy "Guanciale". This was a wonderful start to my meal. The huge prawn was very fresh, and the tempura batter was very light and crisp. MAIN - Sliced beef tenderloins with crispy polenta, parmigiano fondue and a black truffle sauce. Another marvelous dish, I especially adored their sauce.DESSERT - Homemade Italian Limoncello Tiramisu. To finish I tried their twist on a tiramisu, which was very light and a lemon flavour.All in all, this was a delightful visit, and I recommend.

I have had Zucca on my list for years now and finally got to try it and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious and authentic it was. They serve Northern Italian inspired dishes and the food and service was top notch. The crowd was a bit older, which I didn't mind as that usually indicates that the food is good For starters, we got the anitpasto platter and chose prosciutto and sopressata for our meats and parmesan cheese. The meats were very delicious and thinly sliced and we really enjoyed the bread and focaccia that they served with it. For our main course my husband got the truffle pasta, which our waiter said was one of their most popular dishes. He enjoyed it, but did say it was a little salty. For my dish, I chose the pumpkin ravioli and it was so so so yummy! I did not leave one bite on the plate, I was so full but it was the perfect balance of savory and sweet. It gave me all the fall vibes, although it is summer! We were too full for dessert but I definitely want to go back to try the Tiramisu.

WOW! This restaurant is a MUST if you're in the area or looking for the perfect date night. The dish I ordered "Tagliatelle Ai Funghi Misti Con Fonduta Di Parmigiano E Caviale Al Tartufo Nero" is the best funghi pasta i have ever had. My boyfriend ordered the "Sedanini Al Sugo Di Filetto Di Angus" not as good as my own dish BUT we'd still give it a 4/5 stars. Great service and very nice ambiance.

The service was great here. The Miami spice cocktail menu spritz's are a little watery tasting but strong, the lemon one was the best in flavor. The carpaccio was the best I've ever had but it needed some more mustard sauce, some pieces had none. The carrot and ginger soup was heavenly. The palline di patate was delicious but a small portion compared to Luca Osteria. The bistecca di lombatello was more of a salad with two small bites of steak and no dressing or sauce (wouldn't order again). But the bucatini lamb ragu was delicious and awesome. The vanilla gelato was the best we've ever had. The tiramisu was great too. Limoncello shots for dessert was the icing on the cake.

This is a perfect place for a date night! I went with my boyfriend, and we had a great experience. The place is so nice, and even though the waitress was great, the host was a little bit rude at the beginning, but nothing biggie... The pastas were incredibly good, and the tiramisu was chef's kiss too. I didn't like the Vitello Tonnato because the flavor was too strong. I would recommend you to do a little bit of research on the menu before going because I was LOST! Lol.We ordered:Filet Mignon PastaTagliatelle Ai Funghi Misti Con Fonduta Di Parmigiano E Caviale Al Tartufo NeroVitello TonnatoTiramisu

Where do I even start: it was all fantastic The brunch prix fixe is a great way to try a bit if everything. After trying an assortment of shareables, I went for the Branzino which did not disappoint. Plated beautifully over a colorful bed of veggies, it's healthy but certainly not boring. The service, of course, was good.Now I can say zucchini flowers are my new favorite thing: goat cheese, truffle honey...it was heavenly Tutto buono, tutto bello...voglio tornare presto!

I definitely recommend Zucca ! The whole staff was so accommodating, friendly & attentive! I just discovered they are open for brunch/ lunch, so we went this Sunday for an afternoon brunch date .They greeted us with a Bellini/ Prosecco bar cart. We started with the Fried zucchini flowers stuffed with goat cheese sprinkled with truffle honey , because, how can you not ?! These are a "must order "! My hubby had his eye on the Eggs Benedict w prosciutto asparagus e " parmigiano fonduta and it did not disappoint! I went for the floating French toast with crème angleise & mixed berries. It was so delicious! We are definitely coming back for a dinner date soon and I will order the Nutella French toast for dessert! Add Zucca to your list for brunch or lunch, too, not just a delicious dinner place.
