    This is a casual place, yet provides an excellent dining experience. The last time I came to this restaurant was almost a year ago; there are so many good restaurants in Miami that this place got lost on my radar. Last week my best friend was in town and we wanted something casual and walking-distance to watch the game so decided to come here. The reservation was not under my name but Hugo provided such a great service and the quality of the food was so good that I decided to book this reservation to spend quality time with very special people. To the person behind training the staff, the food & beverage manager, the management in general, and all the staff, BRAVO! Every item (and we ordered many) was perfectly prepared, excellently presented, and exceptionally served. Thank you so much Emily, Jade, Danny… and the entire staff for a top-notch hospitality experience.

    I took me and my wife out to Contessa for dinner since it was our anniversary and she fell in love with the restaurant. We ordered the whipped ricotta as a appetizer and it was a 10/10, for our main dish she ordered spicy lobster capellini and there’s a reason why it’s one of their most popular dish, as for me I ordered the macaroni with wild boar ragu and it was delicious. Our server was very attentive and helpful with recommendations from the menu. Overall our experience was a 10/10.
