Casadonna

This brunch was absolutely fantastic. I think in terms of food quality and quantity for the price is one of the best deals in town, specially because it also includes cocktails that actually taste like alcohol.

To begin the place is a dream come true, every space is perfect and stunning. And don’t get me started on the view, surrounded with greenery and orchids. Just wow. Also the interior space is spectacular, we are definitely coming back to have dinner inside.

For 85$ dollar you get first get 5 appetizers served family style, portions and quality were great, my favorite were the beet salad, the toast and the cured salmon, so nice and delicate. Then you can pick a main dish, they have several options to pick from pastas, to sweet brunch items to amazing proteins. And the perfect ending, a dessert spread which included a delicious tiramisu and wonderful gelatos

We picked the Blue Crab Benedict and the winner of the lunch, the spectacular filet mignon, with a delicious sauce and a perfect portion that we were able to share.

You can upgrade the experience paying a bit extra for champagne and wine, and also some great enhancements like a seafood tower or caviar.

Service was nice and attentive, and alcohol was constantly being refilled which I think is key in this all inclusive brunch experience.

Lots of great foods, lots of great drinks, lots of fun ✨🍸 We love it and highly recommend it. The place was very busy with the best vibes and happy people

This was by far one of the most impressive new restaurants I’ve ever been to in Miami. Grutman has done it again. Great location with amazing sunset views of the Bay. Stunning atmosphere and beautiful decor. Service makes you feel like you’re in Positano. Campanella was superrb, wagyu ny strip amazing… tuna tartare simply out of this world with the caviar on top. I’m speechless. If you have not been to Casadonna yet this should be a must on your list upon visiting Miami.

We got here on the rainy day. Still Love the atmosphere. We are celebrating my friend birthday . We ordered a lot of appetizers to try and the food come out pretty good and tasty. Also the main dish is really good size to share. Dessert is delicious. The server is lacking of the attention to our table a little bit . Take forever to come taking the order. We paid 180+ person for 9 ppl. Overall is a happy night so far.

We went here to grab drinks, so I have no idea how the food is. However, it is genuinely the prettiest restaurant in Miami. I had espresso martini and my friend had a long island - both really good. I suggest to go here towards the evening because the vibes are too good.

The location and atmosphere is top of the line. Excellent drinks. Excellent food. We did wait about 2 hours after our reservation we made several weeks in advance but we would wait again and again as the vibes keep it enjoyable.

I’m so glad I didn’t listen to the reviews, being a restaurant owner I know how harsh people can be. Casadonna is beautiful the food was amazing, the service was amazing they keep checking on us to make we were okay and having a good time.. I was very impressed from the moment I walked in.

10/10

Made reservations hour in advance on a busy Sunday evening. Customer service was great and hostess accommodated us to the outdoor bay seating. The atmosphere in this place is stunning! Food and drinks also perfection. Very sexy and romantic place to have drinks at two huge bars. Plenty of great seating. Go for great food and perfect Miami vibes.

Highly recommend the beef carpaccio, Campanelle pasta, and chicken Diavolo.

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is chic and nostalgic at the same time. The food was great - I highly recommend the Filet Mignon, Tuna Carpaccio, the Focaccia and the Burrata (pro tip: you order the two dishes separately - focaccia and burrata - but HAVE to try them together!) We ate outside and the staff was so quick to make accommodations when it started to rain so we were comfortable and dry. I have heard the brunch here is amazing so I am excited to come back and try it out!

I’ve been to Miami a bunch of times and have never had the most amazing service. Hannah was our server and she went above and beyond. She greeted us as soon as we sat down and brought waters and the drink menu within 5 minutes. The table never had a crumb on it because she was constantly changing our plates, silverware, and wiping up any mess, along with another employee.

I was skeptical about what to expect before coming in because the reviews said service needed working on but it was 10/10. Even if the food wasn’t good the service would makeup for it.

BUT even better for us the food and service were the best I’ve had in Miami. The ambiance was so nice and the decor was unreal.

We started with the tuna tartare and oysters. Those were amazing, not fishy at all. We then got the calamari and burrata. The calamari was perfectly crispy and the burrata was very fresh. For our main meals we got the squid ink pasta, bolognese, and confit potatoes.

The squid ink pasta was seafood so it did have a slight fishy taste, but my friends loved it. I personally liked the bolognese! The picture of the potatoes can speak for itself.

The espresso martini with tequila is a must try.

Make your reservation ASAP and request Hannah for 10/10 service!

I'm aware this place receives mixed reviews, and I acknowledge that my experience was likely influenced by arriving right at opening time. If you're looking to avoid long waits and any potential hassle, I recommend arriving early, around 6 or 6:30. The atmosphere fills up fast, but it's worth it for the lively vibe and to bypass any seating issues that often arise later in the evening. Surprisingly, the food was excellent—a pleasant surprise considering the trend among many new, stylish Miami restaurants to prioritize decor over culinary experience.

I wasn’t expecting much of this place, I’ve seen it on social media and knew it was beautiful, however, I had seen some reviews about the food and they were just ok.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The service was excellent, very friendly staff that even offered to take the perfect pictures. The food was great, we had the tuna tartare, spaghetti nero, campanelle (my favourite) and pistachio and olive oil gelato. The campanelle was absolutely delicious and do yourself a favour and order the gelato! It’s the best gelato I’ve had outside of Italy, the texture was absolute perfection 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Cassadona exceeded our expectations! Despite arriving on time for our 8pm reservation with an indoor seating request, the hostess graciously accommodated our desire to sit outside. While we waited, we enjoyed a beautifully crafted and delicious drink from the entrance bar. Although there was a short wait of about 30 minutes, it was well worth it. The restaurant's ambiance is simply stunning, boasting spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas, majestic bars, and breathtaking views. The food was incredibly satisfying, and the dessert was a delightful conclusion to our meal. Cassadona definitely lived up to its reputation – it did not disappoint!

Casadonna is an absolute gem in Miami's culinary scene. From the moment you step inside, the beauty of the Mediterranean Revival building sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The coastal Italian-inspired cuisine truly captures the essence of Riviera-style cooking, with a delightful journey through the flavors of Naples, Taormina, Bari, Positano, and Gaeta.

The interior is as captivating as the waterfront views, creating a perfect ambiance for a memorable evening. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the decor to the presentation of the dishes. The menu, curated with the freshest local/imported ingredients, boasts signature handcrafted plates that tastefully blend tradition with contemporary flair.

The cocktails at Casadonna are nothing short of perfection, complementing the exquisite flavors of the cuisine. My favorite was the lavender lychee martini. Despite a minor hiccup at the bar with drink timing, the delicious appetizers and pastas more than made up for it. The hazelnut chocolate cake was also surprisingly delicious with so many different aspects to it, a must try. The culinary journey was a true delight, leaving us eager to return and savor more of Casadonna's culinary treasures. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking a refined and authentic Italian dining experience in the heart of Miami.

Updated Brunch Experience:

I visited Casadonna to celebrate a friend’s birthday with brunch, but the fixed $95 per person menu, excluding tax & gratuity, seemed a bit steep. The rainy weather dampened the experience further, with the entrance bar room flooded. Waiting in the rain for our table wasn't ideal and my friend slipped in heels! The brunch food was okay, but personally, I find their dinner offerings, especially the pastas and cocktails, more appealing. I couldn’t get myself to drink during the day. Also dessert which is included during the day didn’t sit well with me. I would have preferred to order one or two dishes for brunch versus an entire 3+ course meal.

This place rocks. Outdoor ambience is fantastic. Cocktails are great. Service is professional. Had a bunch of fish courses & some pasta. Wouldn’t say it’s the best food in Miami but overall this is absolutely a hot spot to visit.

Tonight was my first time at this place and I have to say… 10 out of 10 definitely recommend. This place is a must try. So when you pull up there’s valet and you enter into this beautiful ambiance.. to your left there’s a door to vestibule bar. To your right you have seating and down the hall restrooms. Our reservations were at 9 and we did wait for about 20 minutes which gave us enough time to take pictures with the beautiful scenery. When we were finally seated we walked through the main indoor seating into PARADISE… yall the outdoor seating area sits on a beautiful piece of ocean front property… it’s breathtaking. We ate everything 🤣🤣. The caviar, calamari, hamachi, bolognese, cesar salad, filet mignon, literally every single
thing was delicious. We were helped by the most fabulously beautiful and kind ladies, Kate was our server and Madeline was our bartender. Highly recommend them both they were kind, down to earth, sweet, attentive, accommodating…. just all the things you look for when you go out to fine dining. We finished everything off with their signature lemon desert. You guys… I can not stress this enough just go. If you’re looking for a new date night spot.. or a place to host your birthday baby this is the one!!! The food was so good… we ate it all and order to go orders. LOL! A MUST TRY’

amazing restaurant. Stuff is very nice. They check in with you after each course. They have set menu. You get all the appetisers and choose a main course. I have never had a Caesar this good. Highly recommend if you are visiting Miami.

I absolutely love this restaurant. The staff was so friendly, especially our host outside Marco, and the waiter (I can’t remember his name, but the sweetest). The pasta Bolognese was absolutely delicious and so was the lemon dessert. Outside was beautifully decorated. My fav Grutman spot by far (although in a sucker for the truffle fries at Swan)The only issue I had was that twice yesterday morning I received emails from Casadona saying my reservations were canceled and I had to keep calling to make sure they were not.

We went in for late Saturday brunch, didn’t really have high expectations but honestly I loved it. The actual place is stunning, the decor is beautiful. The food was also delicious! I was taken aback by the other reviews on here that say otherwise to be honest. The brunch menu is $95pp with a spread of starters, one main each and desert, which is an amazing deal. We had the NY strip and eggs and the Campanelle, both perfect. Desert was a tiramisu with gold flakes. Drinks 100/10, the soccarro margarita and the amalfi lemonade were amazing. There was also a DJ, he was awesome, the music was fun, style was like dance pop house. I will definitely be back for dinner whenever I can get a reservation.

Beautiful scenery. Staff goes far beyond expectations. The spritz was absolutely memorable. Definitely a must have brunch. Will be coming back again.

Went there last Tuesday with my family. Beautiful restaurant at a fantastic location. The price point is high, but just like any other trendy restaurant in Miami. Hannah’s service was outstanding. We will be back.
