Restaurants near Larkin Community Hospital

The place is really nice looking. The service was amazing. We started at the bar while waiting for our reservation time. We had a couple drinks, the bartender was very attentive. Once our table was set, we were introduced to our waiter who made the recommendations and specialties, we ordered the Serrano ham and manchego cheese croquettes. DELICIOUS! We moved on to the 14 ounce rib eye and 16 ounce n y strip. Again spot on the temp at medium rare, we accompanied it with the truffle Mac n cheese and duck fat papas bravas. It was a great expirience for the taste palette. 10/10 recommend.

Great food, but they seem to be still working on their timing. They brought out one of our hot meals before our appetizer. Then they got our dessert wrong, and we had to wait extra time to receive the correct one. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The appetizer, ironically, was the best thing. We will go back and give them another chance.

Even though I made my reservation through OpenTable, I received a call the day before from a kind lady who explained the dining experience in detail—a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the evening. Upon arrival, Carlo warmly welcomed us and guided us to our table. The ambiance immediately caught our attention—it strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere. After a brief introduction, Carlo explained the restaurant’s concept and allowed us just the right amount of time to browse the well-structured wine menu. While the service is undoubtedly among the best in Miami—not just in terms of quality but also in timing—the highlight of the evening was the food. Chef Marco Giugliano personally assembled each dish right in front of us, adding to the experience. We started with the grilled octopus served with a slightly spicy gazpacho—it was truly out of this world. When the time came to choose our main courses, Carlo guided us through the tempting options. My wife appreciated his recommendations and chose the gnocchetti, which turned out to be an excellent decision. I opted for the homemade spaghetti with clams and calamari, and I can confidently give it a perfect score. To end the evening, Carlo suggested the pistachio gelato, and once again, he was absolutely right—it’s a must-try, I have to said that we get impressed with the incredible consistency that is hard to put in words. It’s wonderful to have a top-class restaurant so close to home. We truly appreciate their dedication to bringing a piece of Italy to South Miami and wish them all the success they deserve.

We were visiting our daughter at UMiami and took her here for brunch. It is a short drive from campus. We sat outside and had a delicious meal in the outdoor space. Service was excellent. The coffee is especially good.

Good food and good quantity. The kicking shrimp and the fried rice had a good amount.
