Ferraro's Kitchen Restaurant and Wine Bar

Our server, Lucas, was formidable. Perhaps I’m getting the translation of the French word wrong, but what I mean is, he was excellent. Only took two wines to find me the perfect one and managed to educate me on why the prosciutto was salty, without being condescending. Loved him. It’s all about the people. The owner or manager also came around to check on us. Very nice man. The Eggplant parmesan, minus the breaded and fried nonsense, was excellent, gluten free and a meal in itself and the burrata, elegantly plated and sparsely sauced (as I like it) on a bed of arugula with prosciutto, was fresh and tasty, almost as good as my first experience of truly good burrata was, at La Locanda on South Beach. But then it’s tough to surpass first impressions. Dessert; the creamiest puréed italian cheesecake with, I think, raspberry dripping was delicious. It must have been, because I actually dislike italian cheesecake, and I was happy to eat more than a few bites. Amd the ambience was very good, gave an intimate , but out for the evening feel and the music volume was perfect,; low enough to have a conversation instead of a shouting match. All in all, it was a great experience;would have been five stars, but for a poorly buffed wine glass.

One of the best Italian restaurant in Miami. The menu is relatively small but this is a perk - dishes are consistently good. Homemade pappardelle al cinghiale and cacio e pepe are delicious. A lot of gluten-free options too (my wife is gf). Amazing wine list. Service is a but slow when it is crowded, but the servers are great and take care of your needs. Also - for the quality of food and the Miami standards, this place is not pricey at all. Definitely recommended!!
