- MMarisolMiami - Dade •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 19, 2024We were in downtown for one night & went here for dinner. It was the best part of our stay in Miami. We were greeted warmly and sat quickly. I did have a reservation and would highly encourage one. It is a small venue with additional outside seating. Our server Dani was great! The entire staff provided exceptional service. They have a wide array of dishes to please even the pickiest eater. Everything we ate was beyond delicious. The food came out piping hot. We each had soup and a pasta. The pasta tasted as if made fresh. So good. If I'm ever back in Miami, I would definitely recommend.More infoFratelli Milano Downtown MiamiPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown Miami•4.9
- HHeidiMiami - Dade •5 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024From the moment you enter and see the funky, eclectic decor, you know that you're in a welcoming space. You'll be warmly greeted and seated. The menu offers enough plates to allow for a variety of palates, but few enough that allow them to be perfected. The homemade pasta dishes are always an excellent choice, the salads are fresh and the panini are lovely. If you love eggplant parmigiani, you're in luck. And the dessert menu is divine!More infoSoya & PomodoroPrice: Moderate • Italian• Downtown Miami•4.4

Fantastic grill selection ! The restaurant is on the second floor, accessible from the exterior end of the mall. Decor is simple and bathrooms are very basic.More infoThe Knife Restaurant - BaysidePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown Miami•3.9
