I went here for the carbonara. They have baked goods, pizza and pasta.
You get in line at the counter to order and pay. They give you a tray and a buzzer, where you pick up your order in the back at the counter.
They charge you about a 20% service fee and also ask for an additional tip which is annoying for unsuspecting customers. I don’t like this protocol.
My pasta was served in a melamine plastic dish, which looked fine, l but I didn’t like.
The pasta was fine while it was warm, but the egg in the carbonara change texture as it cooled. It’s a decent dish, but of course not like what you get in Italy. It doesn’t come with any bread like you would expect in a restaurant.
This place is more of a tourist place.
The decor is nice and classy. Seating was moderately comfortable. There is outdoor seating on the street.
I did not see a water station to get a glass of water.

I had such an amazing experience at Italia Trattoria on Collins Avenue! The staff was incredible, so friendly and attentive. The pizza was literally a 20/10, especially the mushroom truffle pizza… SO good. And the mimosa was perfect too. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but it is absolutely worth it. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out! You know it was good when you pull out your phone and immediately review it.

This place is Ah-ma-zinggggg. They have a small menu but yet what they have is delicious. It reminds me of my Italy trip. Be it the pizza, pasta or tiramisu. Right on point.
Must try: Pizza , pesto pasta and Nutella Tiramisu.

Service, just okay. Definitely under did the welcome. Like, they were ready to close shop since it was 11pm already. They did decide on making a fresh salad for us. The food was just okay ..no where near delicious. There was pizza in window which was moved to serving display by a young lady with bare hands and no gloves on. So unless you request a fresh slice of pizza …I wouldn’t trust it. The guy with the tattoos behind the bar was friendly & helpful. That’s about it. Wouldn’t go back or waste money.

Great place to eat freshly made sandwiches and desserts. Many drinks to choose from, orange juice, cappuccino, wine, they also have a happy hour 4-7. Very friendly, and courteous.

First time visit to Miami and this place. It looked great and seemed busy as we walked by a few times so we decided to give it a try. Saw the chicken parm special so we went with that, the spicy tomato sauce and a pepperoni pizza. First off the chicken parm had no price and was $30, crazy! The spicy tomato was ok, kind of bland…and the pizza…. interesting that you leave the food out then reheat it. It tasted like cardboard and stale. Overall it was terrible. Service was ok but they seemed irritated that I didn’t speak their language and huge barrier as well. Nice place though. Don’t go if your looking for actual Italian.

“The service was quick, efficient, and friendly. It was a pleasant surprise to find genuinely fresh-squeezed orange juice on the menu.
That said, the salad fell a bit short; it wasn’t as fresh as I’d hoped.
Overall, a solid spot for quick bites and drinks.

We went in a sat down at IT Italian Trattoria to look at the menu for a possible lunch stop… nice outdoor seating area, we thought we’d enjoy! The inside of the place is kind of dark, not a real open airy feel like outside. The staff were not very friendly when we approached to look at and ask question about the food selections. No toilet paper in the bathroom, and apparently none in the place because the staff were discussing someone leaving to go get more toilet paper. Rather underwhelming…. The food didn’t really look that great compared to other spots near by, so we didn’t stay. Don’t need to go back….

Absolutely excellent pizza! We tried the Prosciutto and Burrata, and it was the highlight of the night—fresh, high-quality ingredients and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is vibrant and the staff made us feel right at home. A must-visit. Grazie!

I thought this place is just one of the tourist traps but NO!
Their clam pasta was one of the best pastas in my life (I have been to Italy.). The pasta was nicely boiled to al dente.
My husband ordered a lobster pasta which came with a massive whole lobster for the price. Service is nothing special but I would love to go back to have the pasta again.
