The food was decent, not extraordinary though. When we were seated, the live music was warming up so we asked to be moved closer to the outside tables because of how loud it was, but we were still seated inside. The second table was a little quieter because we were blocked from the music. The band was quite loud, but you were still able to talk over it for the most part. Thankfully, after the band warmed up, they turned off the regular music so there wasn’t a conflict and extra noise. After our server took our order and brought our drinks and food, he never returned to see if everything was OK. We had to flag him down after waiting quite a while to get our check. He walked over and said “yes?” as if it wasn’t obvious that we were finished with our meals. Thankfully a different server had come by to refill our water glasses. One thing I’ve learned in Miami, with the built-in tip, service is generally subpar. They know they’re getting a tip regardless and they never go out of the way to give very good or excellent service, that’s for sure. The table behind us dropped and spilled a bottle of beer. One of the staff mopped it up and did a poor job. 30 minutes later, the floor was still partly wet because they did such a crappy job mopping. There are only a few restaurants in Little Havana, one of the other restaurants down the street had a line out the door, which was why we tried Ciao Havana. We didn’t want to wait for a line of 30 people to get in before us. I think next time, I might wait in the line. This place wasn’t horrible, but the service was only mediocre at best. 2.5 stars overall, but I rounded it up to three stars for service. I had the pesto pasta and my friend had a Cuban sandwich. She liked her sandwich, my food was decent.

I had an amazing experience at Ciao Havana. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit, with beautiful stained glass lights, thoughtful floral details, and a warm, vibrant Cuban vibe that makes you feel instantly welcome.
Our server, Oscar, was absolutely exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and his recommendations were spot on. He suggested the short rib paired with tostones which was a lovely combination. He also recommended an amazing wine that complemented the meal perfectly.
The Cuban food was outstanding, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The entire staff was lovely and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
From the food to the service to the ambiance, everything was top tier. I can’t wait to come back and highly recommend Ciao Havana to anyone looking for incredible Cuban food and an unforgettable dining experience.

Our first time here and we were welcomed with smiling faces, especially Sati our hostess and the wait service was friendly and accurate with our delicious food – thx to Oscar! The live music was incredible with an outdoor atmosphere you cannot miss out on! Great people watching too 😉

Beautiful ambience, sat on a table right on the street which felt very European! Service was excellent with such a friendly server who gave great recommendations! We had the croquettes and fried squid to begin which was amazing! (The squid ink tartar sauce is unique!) Mains we got the Frutti De Mare pasta and Cuban Masitas both of which were fantastic! 10/10 recommend!

We walked into Ciao Havana without reservations and left feeling like we’d just had dinner with family. This place is pure magic.
First, our server Moises was absolutely incredible, warm, super attentive, and made every moment perfect. He guided us through the menu with spot-on recommendations, checked on us just the right amount, and was attentive the whole night. Moises is the kind of server who turns a great meal into an unforgettable experience. He deserves every praise and compliment in the world!
A huge thank-you also to the restaurant manager Catalina. She stopped by our table multiple times, asked how everything was, gave us insider tips about the dishes and Little Havana, and did it all with the best sense of humor and genuine kindness. Her energy and care for every guest is obvious the second you walk in. Catalina is clearly the heart and soul of this place and runs it with so much love.
Everything was 10/10. We’ll be back every single time we’re in Miami, and we’ll be asking for Moises and saying hi to Catalina by name. Thank you both for making our night so special. Little Havana wouldn’t be the same without you!
¡Mil gracias! Highly, highly recommend Ciao Havana.

Daila was the best attendant server we could have asked for. Every recommendation she made was spot on—from the appetizers to dessert, everything was absolutely delicious. The live band and music in the background made the whole experience even better. It was awesome. We will definitely be coming back to Ciao Havana

Omg! Best Italian food in Miami so far. First of all the service is impeccable. Moises was so attentive and kind! Checked on us just enough and made sure we were taken care of. There was live music and it was such a good vibe. The food was INCREDIBLE. Best pasta I’ve had in awhile. Definitely make a stop here for great Italian/cuban infused food! Tysm❤️
