Fernando provided excellent service! He provided an overview of the menu and we chose to have a combo of the set Christmas menu and a la carte. The lobster spaghetti and cabanara were exceptional! We already ordered drinks and the comp bottle of Prosecco was a nice addition! We are from NYC and would definitely recommend this restaurant to visitors! The ambiance too was great, but Fernando’s service certainly topped it!

We had a layover at MIA and ubered to this restaurant located in a small retail strip. There are only 8 or so tables. There is a very nice menu but we were greeted by the chef who made us special dishes of bolognese and snapper with fresh veggies and pasta. Complimentary bread is out of this world. Cuban chef trained in Italy - excellent experience! Can’t wait o go back!!
