Reviews
Our evening at Macchialina in South Beach was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we settled in at the bar, we were captivated by the vibrant yet effortlessly refined atmosphere.
The food was simply exquisite—each dish a testament to thoughtful preparation and authentic Italian flavor. Every bite reflected the kitchen’s dedication to quality and craft.
What truly elevated our experience was the impeccable service. Maria, our bartender, was warm, gracious, and exceptionally knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. Jackie, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our evening was perfect. Her attentiveness and gracious spirit made us feel thoroughly cared for.
It is rare to find a place where ambiance, cuisine, and hospitality harmonize so beautifully. We will most certainly return to Macchialina and recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Miami Beach. Five stars all around.
Servers are great
But ambience is okay
Outside it feels like you are at a burger shop.
Whatever we took was amazing
Vegetarian options are also nice
Do not get tiramisu, your whole dinner will be ruined
Trust me on this one!☝️
We popped over the causeway, wandered South Beach for a bit, then made our way up the west side of the island as the sun set over the city — a lovely prelude to the evening. From the moment we arrived at Macchialina, the experience felt thoughtful and welcoming. The hostess and a few members of the team greeted us warmly, picked up immediately on a note I’d left with the reservation, and seated us at a beautiful, tucked-away table for two — exactly what I’d hoped for. The view (pictured) was perfect.
The food is generous and deeply satisfying. We started with a shared plate of salumi, accompanied by gnocco fritto and a lovely mostarda. A dish of creamy polenta followed — absolutely divine, and possibly illegal in at least twelve states. Seriously: order it.
The only miss for me was a lasagna special that skewed a bit too rich; it would have worked better as a shared dish. Everything else landed beautifully. The cocktails were excellent, the room had a great energy (buzzy but never loud), and the service deserves special mention.
The staff were some of the friendliest we’ve encountered anywhere — attentive without hovering, warm without overstepping, and genuinely knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine list. We felt like returning friends rather than first-timers.
Overall, I loved Macchialina. The pasta shines, the service is outstanding, and the vibe was exactly what the doctor ordered. Get the polenta and thank me later. And to the team: thank you for helping create a truly memorable night.
Love the broccolini Caesar with poached egg, caponata, porchetta in gnocco fritto, caccio e pepe (the best I’ve had), cavatelli Macchialina, ravioli, chicken, branzino, and bread pudding.
I would give this restaurant a five star however a few weeks ago their manager was very rude after a server spilt a bottle of red wine and had to replace it. She was incredibly apologetic to the table next to us and offered them comps, and kept checking on them and offered to dry clean the woman’s dress, even though she barely had any splatter on her, where my scarf absorbed the majority of the wine as well as my pants and shoes. The manager never checked on us and never offered to dry clean my clothes. Our server even got off shift mid service and never told us. No one came to check on our table, pour wine or ask if we needed anything. That was the worst experience we had there. We’ve been back a few times since that disaster and thankfully the experience was better. This week Jackie was our server and she was AMAZING! We appreciate her attention to detail and for being mindful of my allergies. We loved the four-course tasting. It was absolutely delicious with generous sharing portions and variety of foods and tastes. We love how the chef mixes things up on the menu but keeps some of the restaurant staples as well. Despite the horrible experience we had with that manager, we still come back and always have a nice time.
