Contessa Miami

“Had such a great time at Contessa’s! We sat at the bar and Sarinya took care of us! She was so TALENTED! Every cocktail she made was on point, paid attention to every detail and gave really solid recommendations for what to eat with them. I started with the whipped ricotta (so good) and had the fettuccine Bolognese for my main… honestly, divine. Everything just hit. Great vibes, great service, great food. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Excellent Italian place, perfect ambiance for dinner dates and special occasions. We had the spicy lobster pasta (amazing and fully recommended), the red prawns for appetizers, the fusilli pesto, and the chocolate cake for dessert. Literally everything was great, so were the drinks.”

“Contessa Miami was a wonderful brunch experience. We loved the outdoor seating. Bright, relaxed, and perfect for a Saturday morning. The arugula and fig salad with goat cheese was beautifully balanced, and the rigatoni was amazing. We finished with crème anglaise and a latte. Elegant food, great atmosphere, and a place to which we’d gladly return.”

“After visiting the Dolce and Gabbana exhibit, I came here to grab a bite since it was so close. At first, it was not as full but around 7-8 pm it got packed, which was surprising as it was a Wednesday night. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and I absolutely adore the furniture and decorations. Although the chair I was sitting in was quite heavy to move without assistance. My favorite thing about the restaurant is how they offer a Prix Fixe menu that offers an appetizer, main entree and dessert for $54. It gave me Miami Spice vibe as soon as I saw it and loved it. As an appetizer, I ordered the whipped ricotta, which was so delicious. It was also quite big so definitely shareable. I also tried the tuna crudo, which was okay. I probably would not order it again. As an entree, I got the branzino portofino. The fish itself was delicious but I was not a big fan of salad underneath. I also tried spicy lobster capellini and it was the best entree of the night. It was a good portion size and so tasty. As a dessert, I ordered the Nutella fudge cake and it was also delicious. I am not a big fan of chocolate and I absolutely enjoyed this. The service was great. I loved how they refreshed our utensils and plates throughout our dinner. I would definitely return to this restaurant and continue to try other items on the menu.”

“Solid food, amazing service and a cute spot in the Design District. The food was great. With one exception, I wouldn't say that I was wow'ed by anything, but at the same time, the dishes did not disappoint. The exception: the meatballs, which were PHENOMENAL! I'd def return and would want to try more items, so - for now - I've reserved one star on food quality. Pictured is the squash carpaccip, capellini (without lobster), meatballs and the lamb chops. Service was impeccable, and the ambience was truly enjoyable. 👌”
