Casadonna is a coastal Italian-inspired waterfront restaurant developed in partnership between Groot Hospitality and Tao Group Hospitality. It is housed in the same Mediterranean Revival building as Miami’s historic women’s club, located in the city’s burgeoning Edgewater neighborhood. In fact, the name “Casadonna” is derived from the setting-it is a fusion of Italian words translating to “house of the woman.” Riviera-style Italian cooking serves as the heart of Casadonna’s cuisine. The menu features the freshest and finest local and imported products, with signature handcrafted dishes. Plates are based around traditional recipes found in the coastal towns of Naples, Taormina, Bari, Positano, and Gaeta, and each is presented in a contemporary fashion. Bespoke cocktails and an extensive wine list will complement this approach.
“Not only is this restaurant beautiful but the staff is so attentive and quick to your needs. The brunch buffet was delicious and i cannot rave about our waiter, Eddie, enough. He had our table ready for us everytime we came back, water never reached the bottom and when we were done with our drinks, he was here with a menu to see what else we wanted. Food was delicious and service was exceptional !”
“Nelson was an amazing server he was very attentative and constantly checking making sure we were good. The ambient was incredible. Byron the manager was great as well he was super welcoming and i recommend anyone to come here if they can.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Casadonna delivers what Miami Italian dining promises but rarely achieves: authentic flavors in a setting that actually matches the price tag. THE SPACE High ceilings, intentional minimalism, and that waterfront view. The design breathes — no cramped tables or noise bouncing off hard surfaces. You feel the space, not just sit in it. Sunset seating is non-negotiable if you want the full experience. THE FOOD Menu reads classic Italian but execution is precise. Seafood risotto — properly cooked, not the usual mush. Homemade tiramisu — light, not cloying. These are details that separate a real kitchen from a decorated room. THE SERVICE The sommelier didn't just recommend wine; he explained why the pairing worked with what I ordered. Staff was genuinely warm, not that performative "fine dining" friendliness you get tired of after your third course. WORTH KNOWING Book ahead. Weekend walk-ins don't happen here. And ask for the waterfront side — the other tables miss the point. #MiamiDining #ItalianRestaurant #MiamiBeach #FineDining #Casadonna #WaterfrontDining #MiamiFoodie #LuxuryDining #OceanView #MiamiEats #GourmetMiami #SouthBeachDining #ItalianCuisine #MiamiNightlife #BestTiramisuMiami”
“My wife and I had a wonderful evening at Casadonna for the BILT dining experience, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! The waterfront location is stunning, with beautiful views that set the perfect romantic ambiance for a special night out. We started with the local alifiero burrata and the charred octopus as our first course both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The burrata was creamy and perfectly complemented by its accompaniments, while the octopus had that ideal char and tender texture that made it a standout. For our second course, we enjoyed the chicken Milanese and the pappardelle Bolognese. The Milanese was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and full of great seasoning. The pappardelle was rich, hearty, and cooked to perfection with a deeply satisfying ragu. We finished on a high note with the chocolate torta and Meyer lemon cheesecake for dessert. Both were outstanding the torta was decadent and chocolatey, while the cheesecake offered a bright, refreshing citrus balance that was the ideal end to the meal. The service was attentive and friendly throughout, and the entire experience felt elevated and memorable. Casadonna is a fantastic spot for date nights or special occasions in Miami. Highly recommend we’ll definitely be back!”
“Casadonna in Miami’s Edgewater is the kind of place that makes an impression before you even sit down. Set right on the waterfront, the restaurant leans heavily into its coastal Italian identity, blending Mediterranean elegance with Miami’s high-energy dining scene. The décor is polished and airy—think warm tones, natural textures, and an indoor-outdoor flow that works especially well at sunset. The menu focuses on Italian cuisine with a seafood-forward approach. Dishes like crudo, handmade pastas, and grilled fish are clearly designed to highlight fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors are generally clean and well-balanced, though some plates feel more about presentation than depth. Still, when it hits, it hits—especially with simpler preparations that let the ingredients shine. Service can be a mixed bag. On a good night, it’s attentive and knowledgeable, with staff offering thoughtful recommendations. On busier evenings, however, things can feel rushed or slightly disorganized, which takes away from the otherwise upscale experience. The crowd and atmosphere lean trendy, with a lively, almost lounge-like vibe as the evening progresses. It’s definitely more of a “scene” restaurant than a quiet dinner spot, so expectations should be set accordingly. Overall, Casadonna delivers a visually stunning, stylish dining experience with strong Italian influences and standout waterfront views. While it may not be the most consistent spot in terms of service or culinary execution, it’s worth visiting for the ambiance alone—especially if you’re in the mood for a vibrant night out in Miami.”
