Fantastic Italian restaurant with casual artsy vibe. 4.8 rating. Food, service, and vibe were all on point. Highlight is the fantastic authentic Italian food, simply prepared with top ingredients. Simple dishes like pasta pomodoro are delicious – due to great pasta, tomatoes, etc. Hard to find restaurants that keep it simple but amazing – it’s not easy. Highly recommend the Burrata appetizer, the Macchialina pasta, and tiramisu for dessert. The Veal Milanese was exceptional – better than what I’ve had in Milan. It’s perfectly prepared. Service was friendly and professional. Design, menus, and other details have an artsy vibe. Favorite with local foodies. Highly recommend.

This inventive Italian restaurant is a beloved Miami Beach institution, and though the menu is smallish, there are always delightful surprises. This year, it gave us some new insight into lemon preserves. We earlier had loved the flavor of a pasta entree special with, surprising to us, lemon preserves. It wasn’t on the specials menu this week, but we shared a salad which also had lemon preserves and was wonderfully flavorful (it’s a good size, so sharing is fine). My husband ordered a specials entree with sausage and a type of rabe and tiny gnocchi which was bright and veggie-fresh (not bitter at all, as rabe can be) that we both really enjoyed. I had the polenta with mushrooms starter as an entree, which was so beautifully rich and creamy it filled me up and I had to take some of it home (and it was great the next day too). That said, know that this restaurant can be pretty loud. When we arrived at 7, it was full and the cacophony just from customers talking, dishes clanging and normal hustle and bustle was noticeable. At a table for two, we had to speak up significantly to talk to each other. The music was not loud, but so many speakers were hard to avoid. For easier conversing, I’d advise trying the very back of the terrace or coming at opening.

First restaurant out of a dozen we’ve visited in Miami that offered complimentary snacks/appetizers, which was a really nice touch. Our waiter was polite and attentive, and the atmosphere was both lively and relaxed

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.

Amazing experience at Macchialina. We had done some research looking for the best restaurants on South Beach and this restaurant kept coming up. We were so glad we decided to visit. We were expecting the meal to be good based on reviews, but our dinner absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had professional, attentive, warm, friendly service by the staff from star to finish. They were knowledgeable regarding the menu and gave great recommendations. I believe our server was Neil and he was training another gentlemen (can’t recall his name) and both were wonderful. Our meal felt/tasted both high-end and yet reminiscent of homemade Italian meals I had growing up. I was not expecting to be transported down memory lane when we arrived, but it truly was a lovely, surprisingly nostalgic meal. Every dish we ordered was delicious. Every cocktail we ordered was also delicious. We will absolutely be adding Macchialina to our normal rotation when we are visiting South Beach.

Food is amazing
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!☝️

I recently visited from NYC and had the pleasure of trying their tasting menu. They were incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, and I couldn’t stop indulging! The portions were just right, and the service and atmosphere were top-notch. You absolutely must try the Tiramisu! I would highly recommend coming back here again.

The food here was exceptionally good—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The mushroom pasta was absolutely divine. The restaurant offers an extensive and thoughtfully curated wine list, featuring an impressive selection of skin-contact wines. Each glass was vibrant, complex, and wonderfully expressive, making for a perfect pairing with the pasta. The atmosphere is lively, buzzing with energy, yet still relaxed and welcoming. The spacious outdoor terrace is elegantly designed and ideal for enjoying a leisurely meal. A truly beautiful spot with incredible food and wine—highly recommended!

My partner and I were looking for a special meal during a single night in Miami, and a quick scan of The Infatuation and Eater pointed us toward Macchialina. I’m very glad it did.
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.

I’ve been dining here for a couple years and love the food and appreciate the expansion! The food is consistently good. Service is usually friendly but not consistent. Bartenders and hostesses are great and welcoming. Nice wine selection however they’re always out of bottles we like.
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.
