Cafe Prima Pasta

Greetings everyone!

I'm thrilled to share my wonderful experiences at Prima Pasta, my new go-to restaurant. I've visited multiple times, and each visit has been a delightful journey of exquisite flavors and a charming atmosphere. It's a cozy gem where the friendly vibe makes you feel at home, and you might even spot some celebrities. The menu offers affordable dishes that are absolutely delicious, complemented by an array of delightful cocktails. It's become a favorite spot, and booking in advance is a must to ensure a lovely evening. Highly recommended!

This place is wonderful! I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Food is flavorful and top quality. Ambience is sophisticated but lively and youthful. Service is outstanding, as our waiters Fernando and Carlos were extremely attentive and polite. 10/10 birthday dinner experience!

Absolutely delightful experience at this Italian restaurant! The risotto was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and generously portioned. Despite the busy atmosphere, our reservation ensured we were seated promptly, and the service was impeccable throughout the evening.

We visited 3/7/24 with a 8:30 PM reservation made through Open Table. 1st time visitors, and we showed up to a full house, it was really busy and i was concerned we wouldn't get our reservation on time. I spoke with the reception/host and he was very kind, informative & honest. We waited nearly an extra 30 minutes but the host assured us we'd get the next table available. He sent my wife & I complimentary bread while waiting. They even sent us a complimentary appetizer of our choice. We were greeted by our server by the name of Andreu (i believe). He was very helpful for us 1st timers, recommended us plates and showed us the most popular house dishes. He got our salad and kid's order sent right away since he knew we were waiting a while. I ordered the BLACK LINGUINI SEAFOOD, with lobster sauce as recommended, and my wife had the Penne Vodka Pasta. Everything we had was spectacular. Service was immaculate. One of the best pasta dishes ive ever had. 10/10, cheers to the staff, establishment and chefs!

This was the best experience I have had in Miami. Amazing food, and the service was BEYOND exceptional. Nick made our night beautiful, never waited a second for anything we needed. So thoughtful and fun!

Limoncello is fantastic (homemade) a must try. So fantastic. Cannot recommend more.

This will be our go to restaurant. Our first time here and it is a true find. The food and service is stellar and there is a very friendly atmosphere. We shared a delicious beef appetizer while sipping on our very generous martini and old fashion. My husband ordered the ravioli and I had the chicken lemone. Both came out piping hot and in a timely manner. Delicious.

Such an amazing experience!!! We went because Mesi had spoken so highly of this place. The ambience was beautiful, the decor was immaculately placed, & the service was attentive and beautiful.

Black squid ink pasta was the best!

From the moment we arrived on their property - parking lot - I was greeted by Cesar, the Valet on call for Sunday night (becuz i drove my husband & I ). Cesar was very charming, kind, professional, & quick - taking our car & when we came to pick it up!!
Then we waited for the rested of our party to arrive & had a seat @ the bar. The bartender on duty was very charming, professional, & prompt.
rest of our party of 5 arrived & were seated almost immediately. Very crowded at the restaurant - definitely recommend getting reservations!
Our waitress & waiter were both charming, kind, patient, professional, & prompt!
Food - appetizers & main entrees were All Excellent 👌- All in our party of 5 enjoyed everything!
They surprised our youngest daughter with a piece of ricotta cheese cake 🍰 & sang her Happy Birthday - we all shared it as we were All full from appetizers & entrees ❣❣
Definitely recommend this delightful restaurant & look forward to returning to it❣
Thank you to Cafe Prima Pasta for creating a memorable birthday for our daughter Raquel ❣❣

Excellent food for an equally excellent price. 4-6pm they have a prima hour menu where the food is about 30% off. My favs are the pear ravioli (15/10 get this. This is my FAV ravioli I think ever), the chicken Parm (5/5, the veggies were super good too), and the branzino. The lemon chicken (4/5) was okay. The calamari and zucchini was also magical (5/5). Service was also great. I very highly recommend this place!

A friend had been mentioning this spot for a while now, so I finally got to try it the other night. I Had the crab & lobster sauce ravioli and a Moscow mule. It was very good. I was also surprised by there prices. There very cheap for good quality food. Unfortunately I was under the weather and didn’t stay for long but I loved the decorations and it is a very romantic place to go with a loved one.

We walked in for the first time visiting from Texas and the manager Oscar immediately introduced us to everyone . We were immediately served complimentary drinks & an appetizer! The service was first class from start to finish !And the food was excellent. Our first stop back will be here !! I can’t say enough about the food and service!! Very happy we stopped here before heading home !!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I came back after a few years and everything was still so amazing!!!! I chose to celebrate my birthday here and from start to finish it was so great! I was warmly welcomed by the host and my server Julia was on point 100%. The whole staff made me feel so special! If you are looking for an amazing meal, fun atmosphere and a place you can come back to and still get the same top notch service this is the place to go!

Absolutely outstanding service and food. I visit Miami a lot and this restaurant was an absolute amazing find. I took my mother here for an early dinner and was blown away by the service and their food. I returned with my girlfriend another time and it was just as good.

The service is some of the best I have ever experienced and the food is always very good.

Atmosphere is also very warm and friendly and the prices are very reasonable for Miami Beach.

This place is a lovely family run Italian restaurant and runs like a well oiled machine. The kitchen backs up the incredible service with their fantastic food.

Highly recommend this lovely restaurant and I look forward to returning again.

Ricardo and Sebastián are just THE BEST their make our experience above and beyond. As soon as we sat they provided a excellent service.
The food is delicious super super tasty!!
10/10

The most impeccable service and food! Our server Nick C. Was so attentive and helpful. The pasta was top notch and there were amazing wine offerings. Will be back on my next trip to Miami!!

Came here for our first anniversary, Hidden gem with great service💎Carlos was super attentive and gave us great attention! Our server Lobo as well who was funny! Ordered the Ossobuco & Seafood pasta which were well cooked and delicious. Order the pear entree which isn’t pictured here. As a local, I’ll be back!

I adore the interior design. The staff was so friendly and attentive to us throughout the night. The Fiocchi Rapera was the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Tiramisu was light and delicious. Would come back!!!

I went to Cafe Prima Pasta to have dinner with my family for celebrating my husband's birthday. The place is cozy and the atmosphere is great (our table was inside). Nicolas, our server was outstanding. He explained the menu and the most popular items and he was permanently checking that our glasses were filled and our requests fulfilled. We all requested pasta and the food was amazing. Actually, one of my kids told me it was the best pasta dish he had ever had, stating that it was even better than the pasta dishes he got in Italy when on vacation. We will be back!

One of the best restaurants in town. Everyone is extremely nice and professional. The food is amazing... tasty, nice presentation. My favorites dishes are the beef carpaccio, the branzino and the black pasta. Manuel and Carlos took excellent care of us and made the experience even better. 100% recommend. I'm so glad to have this gem in the neighborhood.

Wonderful old school “red sauce joint” — makes you feel transported to another time and place with throwback photographs of local favorites & celebrities and a great menu to boot.
