Excellent service!! Great hospitality!! I love Lincoln road, but it’s hard to find a place with great service and excellent food! Talk about a family restaurant, I felt welcomed the minute I talked to the hostess. The host, servers, managers, all were super nice and welcoming!!Only stopped for a drink and app but the fried calamari and mojito were out of this world.One of the only places on Lincoln road with a full bar!!! The place is super clean and well presented.You can tell that the food is homemade consisting of quality and fresh products, and not like any of these other tourist traps!! Great food, better service, 10/10 recommend!!

Absolutely loved the atmosphere at Rosinella. The waitress was very attentive, prompt, friendly, and took her time to tell us about the menu. I loved the homemade spinach and ricotta cheese raviolis with fresh tomato sauce. I also had a Caesar salad which was very good. I highly recommend Rosinella as a great place to eat and very authentic dishes.

Loved this restaurant. We came here for breakfast. The coffee was perfect. The chocolate croissants were out of this world. Service was attentive and the seating was comfortable. Great place to visit in Miami around the shopping zone.

I came to this restaurant last night and had some pasta with my girlfriend. I saw some bad reviews earlier in the week about this place, but I love Italian food so I wanted to give it a try anyways.I must say, this place exceeded my expectations! The food was real, authentic Italian food, and the service was incredible! You can really tell that they care about the quality of the food that their serving. One of the few family restaurants still around south beach that makes sure customers are satisfied no matter what. Can’t imagine that the one star reviews are real. 5/5 definitely recommend!!!

We are in town for the boat show and we decide to take a walk on the famous Lincoln rd and we were kind of skeptical to sit in any of the restaurant because they all were pushing to sit us down offering free drinks and stuff like those but then we pass by this place and they just sai hi to us and ask how was the day so far so we decided to sit down! We got a couple of salads and both were fresh and tasty, all the stuff were nice and particularly Lucas that took care of us! Definitely will come back for the dinner too

Beautiful outdoor eating space and a good price for the area. I had the burrata appetizer and an espresso macchiato. Very good and seemed fairly authentic.

The place promises a lot for the location, implementation and marketing, but my experience was not very good.I went with a group of friends and my order arrived 10 minutes after the plates of my friends. I asked them to start, so that their food would not get cold.When my plate arrived, it was so hot that it was impossible to eat. I had to wait more.In short, I asked for a simple dish and I couldnt enjoy it.I would not go back.

Overall:- would not go back because of bad service and food that was mediocre- details below if interested (I rarely write reviews with this rating and I feel I am fair in my feedback)Positive things:1) hostess - was very friendly and not pushy when considering if we wanted to dine there2) smoothie - was fresh and tasty3) the outside seating was pretty and nice for a meal out on Lincoln Road4) some other tables had better service than ours with other servers so you may also get lucky and have a better dining experience 🤷🏽‍♂️Negative things:1) attention to tables - unfortunately it was very unpleasant… After being seated, we waited 15 minutes (was watching my clock because of parking) before someone came up to us to see if we were okay. It then took another 20 minutes to get waters and to finally meet our waiter. That was the last time we spoke to him until asking for the check. It was hard to tell if he was busy or not because at times I saw him delivering food to other tables and at other moments, for example, talking to a pedestrian walking by for maybe 5+ minutes. But if he was too busy, then the rest of his team should have helped to care for his tables. The most frustrating thing about that was that on average three employees were standing by the host/hostess booth at any given time while we were looking around waiting for service. I had to go up mid meal to ask for water (never was brought or asked if I wanted or needed more).2) food was pricey. Had two drinks (one being a smoothie) and a Caesar salad and a basic margarita pizza (with no tomatoes and one basil leaf in the middle…). Frankly, while eating the pizza I wished I was eating a Costco cheese pizza instead and a salad I made at home with chopped lettuce and store bought Caesar salad dressing. Both food dishes were “meh” and I wish we didn’t spend our last dinner there - let alone so much money.3) both times in Miami South Beach that a waiter/waitress didn’t come in the first 10 minutes of being seated turned out to be awful experiences. I partially blame myself for staying and giving them a 20% *automatically charged* tip. If I were given the choice, my typical 15-20% tip would have been 0%.

Review №13

Very bad service and bland food for a lot of $$!I’ve never had such bad service for the price we paid and the most annoying part is that they automatically include 18% tip on the bill.The pizza was boring and anything but fresh. The Caesar salad was a joke, it shouldn’t be called salad but “greasy Romain lettuce with 4 tasteless croutons”. 😂The only positive things I can think of: The hostess was nice and the smoothie was tasty.

Best spaghetti bolognese I ever had!We are from Fort Lauderdale and some time we like spend the weekend in Miami Beach, we are always afraid to get ripped off from one of this tourist place around but we decide to try rosinella and we were super happy! The place is clean and the food is real authentic. The spaghetti were “al dente” and the sauce amazing!

I left Miami Beach for NYC 3 years ago. I used to be a regular at Rosinella, which btw all locals know is the best restaurant in Miami. Going to Rosinella was the first thing on my mind (sorry little sis). It was great to see Roberto and Tonino . And as always, the food didn’t disappoint. I actually ate there 4 times in 3 days so I could have my prosciutto pizza, eggplant parm, chicken parm, spaghetti with clams and of course lots of tiramisu. So happy they’re still around after Covid.

I’ve come a few times for the pizza. It’s authentic Italian pizza with thin crust and a delicious sweet sauce. Tastes just like the pizza I ate when I was living in Rome. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu but I would definitely recommend the pizza here! If you want some sort of Americanized pizza with too much sauce then go somewhere else.

This is just the best deal in Miami Beach! In the heart of Lincoln Road, one of the very few really good restaurants and what’s not to like also about the best happy hour deal ... literally ALL DAY.Enjoy various delicious wine for half price ! Cabernet,Merlot,Chianti, Pino Grigio, Chardonnay ...They also have 50% off cocktails with fine spiritsMojito, Margarita, Moscow Mule, Dirty Martini etc ... I enjoy being able to sip those cocktails outside as their spacious outdoor dining area is ideal for social distancing.Roberto the owner is a sweetheart and so is Mark, the manager who always looks after every guest and makes sure you spend the best time possible with everything you need.And the food is delicious, home made so yummy. I always start with the fresh soup of the day that is just the best in town !-)Definitely many locals favorite spot ❤️Great waiters. Good vibes.

I always love trying restaurants, but this was the blandest, most tasteless food we ever tried. Ive tried authentic Italian food in so many places, and theyre always so delicious (or atleast have salt). We couldnt even finish the food, the table next to us had full plates too. The waitress was nice but that was it. I dont mind spending money on good food, but hate it when I have to pay so much even though it was regrettable. Wish I had read the reviews here before going there..

Review №35

I sent my 17 year old daughter with her 8 friends to eat here for her birthday and were treated very unprofessional. When the waiter saw they were teenagers, he started throwing things on the table and made a remark pertaining to their age.He probably thought since they were teenagers, they were not going to have a large check.I would not recommend this type of restaurant to anyone. THey cannot discriminate due to age.VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!!

Review №36

All joke aside, being in the restaurant business for over 20 years myself and coming from Europe, I have visited and ate in Italy many times! Comparing your establishment with Rome is too funny or actually pretty sad.If that is the case, we must have a different knowledge of the map of Europe and I’m the pop.The fact that your response did not defend the quality of ingredients and professional preparation you claim to use is the best example of the level of pride your restaurant have.Do us all a favor and get at the pass, take a look of what comes out of your own kitchen, taste it, talk to your customers and use their feedback and critics to raise your standards.The locals aren’t blind, good luck

Chuck E. Cheese has better Italian food than this place. Ordered a magherita pizza and it was literally a cheese pizza with a singular piece of basil in the middle. The prosciutto pizza was also just a cheese pizza With a piece of ham on top. Every pizza here is basically just a cheese pizza.

Food took forever when there was nobody at the restaurant and it tasted awful. Go to Olive Garden or Pizza Hut if you want the same quality of food and a better price. This is nothing at all like Italian fine cuisine.

Our orders took forever to get and they werent even busy. My water had a long strand of hair in it that came up through my straw. Once we received our food it wasnt even hot. The fettuccine shrimp Alfredo was good despite the cool temp and butter solidifying. The panini was overdone and chicken was very dry. Overall, disappointing. I wouldnt recommend.

As a tourist, this is one of the worst experiences and food Ive ever tasted. Ive eaten authentic italian food in many places before, and this was the only time I was disappointed. The pasta had no flavor and overpriced. I didnt even finish my food, barely ate anything. Do not recommend.

Decided to try this restaurant for dinner last night and I won’t be back. First of all I was with my 4 year old daughter so I asked the waiter if there’s any non alcoholic beverages other than soda even if it’s from the machine gun cause I can’t give soda to a 4 year old at that time. He said no so I decided to order a virgen pina colada for her and a regular one for myself. Waiter comes back to my table to tell me there’s no pina colada but he will bring a “martini pina colada” I said okay. He brought out the normal virgin pina colada then the “martini” which I found odd cause he said there’s no pina colada. It tasted bad too so I didn’t drink it and just changed it for a soda. I also saw another waiter bringing a lemonade to their table when mine told me there wasn’t any juice for my daughter, he didn’t even offer a glass of water either. I’m not sure if he was trying to up sell alcohol but I’m with a child.Then the food comes.. ordered a spaghetti w meatball, chicken Alfredo, and fried calamari. The pasta was a little hard and tasteless.. we couldn’t finish it. Then asked for the bill and asked our waiter if they offer local discounts for Miami Beach residents/ people who work on Lincoln rd he said no which I know places do offer that if a customer asks so I just got my bill, paid, and left. I didn’t feel like arguing . I’m a waitress myself and I know filling out the additional tip line helps a lot cause it’s not all for the waiter and I’m very understanding in situations but the service wasn’t good. I wouldn’t recommend.

Sign at the door says it is “not a tourist trap”, however :- Food is average at most- Sodas are 8 FL OZ (237 mL), at $3.25- There is a mandatory 18% service charge, independently of the service provided

Possibly the best pasta Ive ever had, perfectly cooked, my hats off to the chef. Good service, great atmosphere. Would have given 5 stars except for small portion of pasta, penny wise, dollar foolish, what does it cost for pasta? 50¢?

Review №53

The service was great but the food was below average. As someone who grew up on Italian food, I knew whatever I ordered wasnt going to wow me. Because of this I played it safe and ordered the standard spaghetti with tomato sauce and it was subpar. The spaghetti was cooked fine but the sauce was clumpy, watery and didnt stick to the pasta in the ways it should. Overall an underwhelming experience.

I love Rosinella. Used to go to the Brickell location on average twice a week, and also to the Lincoln Rd location. Always great food and service. Still very good. The one thing that has slipped is the eggplant parmigiana - it is now consistently not as tender and the cheese is not the same. The other thing worth noting is that the prices on Lincoln road are easily twice what they used to be... But still, they are the best value food in Lincoln Road.

Was having a conversation about rosinella in brickell and the golden era of that corner restaurant on south Miami Avenue. Used to go at least 2-3 times a week. This place is the best Italian restaurant in Miami. From the arrabiata to the vitello tonato or the thin crust pizza all top notch. Bring back the brickell restaurant you all are awesome. Long live mama rosinella

This place has probably the best Italian food in South Miami. Both the pizza to their pasta dishes are amazing. The owner is very nice and will come by to make sure your meal is perfect. I have even seen him bussing tables to make sure the next guest has a shorter wait which I very rarely see happen at restaurants these days. My family and I have been here a few times and it is our go to place when we have a craving for Italian. Highly recommend!!!

Tourist trap. Avoid at all costs. Unauthentic italian experience. so bad it wasn’t even mediocre. mussolini would roll over in his grave. soggy pizza with no flavor was $20, frozen luke warm fried mozzarella $9 with bland tomato sauce, carpaccio was warm with dry unclean arugula and truckwheel sized shaved parmesan. if you cannot even manage a basic italian classic, don’t call yourself an italian restaurant. they add 18% tip automatically. for 2 small meals and 2 sodas total was almost $70. definitely not returning, I should’ve gone to mcdonald’s.following your response: we have only two regrets; 1: paying the bill. 2: not taking a picture of the pizza and putting it online for others to judge. just work on your standards, quality of food was below minimum.

We ordered breakfast and we was before 10am, not too much people but we was waiting around half hour so it’s long enough for me. But this is why I give one star is because they overcharged me!! They charge you 18% for waitress no matter how much you order and then they charged me 10$ more for nothing!! That’s embarrassing!!

Came here to celebrate a birthday for a friend. We both ordered pasta and it was very tasteless/dry. The staff was nice, but they were out of most sodas and did not have a martini I wanted. So not sure if this place just gets bad close to closing time because we got there around 10 pm. The only thing we were happy about in regards to their menu was the tiramisu. OMG it was amazing! and the staff was nice enough to still come out and sing happy birthday even though they were supposed to be closing.

The service is good and the food is even better. The price is good if you have the money to spend, but for a college student in vacation is not the best due to the portions. If you want quantity over quality I would suggest going to another place, but if you want quality over quantity this is the place for pasta dishes. The thing that I didnt like was that they didnt ask how the check should be split. I understand not to ask if its a date. Everything else was very good and I would repeat when I come back.
