Cavalli Miami

Fancy romantic place near the beach. High price but good quality food. Valet parking is a must.

Esta fechado desde segunda quinzena de agosto, inicialmente como reformas para reabertura em 60 dias.

Yip we loved this restaurant we had a good table the food was great ordered lots of different dishes all good then went to the club upstairs which was fun young loud and very south beach the place is small so best book ahead
Loved the décor typical Cavallli

Cavalli offers great menu options for dinner! The Italian fare is very authentic. The décor is second to none in keeping with Cavalli’s signature style! Every table has a different theme while remaining cohesive!
The lounge upstairs has a unique look to it as well and the perfect backdrop for raking pictures!
The service was efficient and impeccable!

Loved the ambiance as well as the venue. The drinks were awesome especially the bar upstairs. Even the bathroom gentleman was very nice and professional. Def. highly recommend for a night of chicness and opulence.

Valet Park… Walk in through busy patio outdoor al fresco seating. Cavalli décor… Milan meets Miami… just a short walk down from Prime 112.
Saturday night in SoBe…20 minute wait… If it wasn’t busy… I’d be worried. Went up to the bar to enjoy cocktails while we wait… great service!!! Bartender was talking about the night before at Club 11… funny conversation… evidently we were all there the night before.
Had cocktails inside bar… and later took the glasses outside… cool weather… heat lamps… cozy patio seating… perfect night.
Shortly invited in to be seated… comfortable corner table… open kitchen… elegant crowd… very well dressed… Gucci, Pucci, Fiorucci… and oh yes, Cavalli.
Meal was perfect! Great food… of course, always tastes better in a wonderful atmosphere… and atmosphere is certainly provided by Cavalli.
Enjoying our meal… suddenly…an endless line of «supermodels» begin parading inside towards a door that leads to a lounge-​area upstairs. 1 supermodel…2…3…4…5…6… ok back to the meal…7…8…9.ok stop looking… back to the meal…10!!! I am almost certain a modeling agency was having a party. Where are they going? Well… had to… you know… go upstairs to check out the lounge area… curiosity. The lounge area is totally different from the restaurant atmoshere… dark room with cool lighting… nice music… Cavalli-​stylish… great place to hang out after hours and have drinks… but for now… back downstairs to the restaurant.
Overall…Cavalli is the total SoBe experience. Great looking crowd… good food… exotic cars outside… Cavalli Home décor interior… tastefully over-the-top…and good food.
The only downer… big ding on my driver’s side car door upon return from valet. Evidently… dinner cost an extra $ 500…ouch. No help from Valet… totally denied it… not the restaurant’s fault… but leaves a bad taste. Nice experience at Cavalli otherwise… very SoBe… give it a try. Btw… bring $$$…nothing Cavalli is ever cheap… but honestly… worth a try.
5 stars? …hmmmm… no… not 5… the food is good… the atmosphere is great! maybe 4 ½. but overall… Enjoyed it! (Now to get that ding fixed).

One word. … disappointed. My boyfriend had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now so he took me for valentine’s day.
The food is way overpriced for the quality that you get. The dishes weren’t seasoned. Portions were small and didn’t look like anything on the site. I get it… its advertising. As i looked into my boyfriend’s eyes full of disappointment, i told him.. Cavalli is a designer, not a chef.
We had the Grilled octopus, the arugula salad and added lobster, as well as the lamb ossobuco. The food didn’t taste like it was made with love. It didn’t blow our minds and left us so disappointed. We definitely wouldn’t go back for the food. The lounge was pretty cool but I don’t recommend eating here.

It is great to see that service is slowly but surely improving and the food as always is great.
Luco the general manager is on point and makes sure things run smoothly.
I had the branzino which is a great choice if you want to eat a lighter fish than the sea bass. For appetizer dont forget to try the vitello tonnato. they can make it new or traditional style. one of my favorites.

The place is beautiful but the service wasn’t good at all. We were a group of 12 celebrating a graduation and they brough the appetizers before the bottles. There wasn’t much attention.
We were at the lounge upstairs which I think it’s better only for drinks

the food is great but a bit expensive
i went to the Milan one many times and i dont miss it!
Chefs Stefano and Dario are great!
try the burrata and the truffle rise!

Loved this place !!!
My best friend and I wanted to do a girls night out. We got dressed up and made a reservation for two and wanted to take the Cavalli experience all in :)
I absolutely LOVED the décor in this place and was so cute ! We had an earlier dinner about 730p so it wasn’t too bust when we got there. By the end of our dinner and drinks, the place was filling up. Dinner was good but you’re paying for the price of the name and ambiance. The antipasti and beef tartare was excellent. You can’t go wrong with meat and cheese ! The black truffle Risotto was really good too. And we split the Chilean Sea Bass which I thought was good but I would like to try something else the next time.
The lounge upstairs was so much fun ! Great music and the same chic look of the animal print style flowed. Can’t wait to come here again ! A lot of fun ! A great place for you and your girlfriends to get dressed up and have a great time !

Where to begin? A friend of mine celebrated her Bachelorette party in Miami this past weekend, and since i’m the only one that lives in Miami I offered make restaurant reservations and organize the weekend’s itinerary. I tried to choose restaurants that were newish and would provide a fun vibe appropriate for a Bachelorette. I called Cavalli almost 2 months ago to make Saturday’s reservation, and again last week to confirm. We arrived at 9:05 PM on Saturday night for a 9 PM reservation. Despite the fact that the restaurant was mostly empty, our table wasn’t ready so we were asked to wait by the bar. Off we went, 10 women, one pregnant, to stand around the busier bar area. 20 minutes later, our table still wasn’t ready. I approached the manager to ask why our table wasn’t ready 25 minutes after our reservation time when the place was mostly empty and our pregnant friend was being forced to stand unnecessarily. The manager reacted like I was being irrational and was extremely dismissive and borderline disrespectful. He absolutely did not care about the impression the ordeal was making. The table should have been ready. The place was almost completely empty and they knew we were coming. This isn’t Prime 112, they aren’t that busy.
Finally, about 10 minutes after I approached the manager our table was «ready,» except half of us didn’t have bread plates and we were given only 1 oil dish for a long table of 10. Our waitress took eons to take our drink order and after we got our drinks we waited what felt like another decade to place our appetizer and entrée order. Among several other things, we ordered the tuna tar tar, the burratina cheese, the antipasti sampler, the arugula salad, and the organic tomato salad. I thought the burrata and the sampler were both very good. I loved the tomato salad, the tar tar was just okay.
After we finished our appetizers, it was a very long time before we got our entrees and our appetizer dishes weren’t cleared until our entrees arrived. Even then, they attempted to place the entrees on the table without taking off the appetizer plates. In addition to asking that our plates be cleared, we also poured our own water and wine several times throughout the evening and had to ask for things repeatedly. Some of the entrees we ordered were the gnocchi with gorgonzola & mascarpone, the crab ravioli, the sea bass, and the ossobuco. The entrees were all too buttery and overly salted. I had the ossobuco and it was nothing to write home about. The risotto it came with was bland. My friend’s sea bass was overcooked and the ravioli were just okay.
For dessert, we ordered the bombolini, the molten lava cake, and the mini petit fours. The lava cake was my favorite, and the bombolini came in a close second. The dessert and our interaction with the sommelier were by far the highlights of the evening.
We’re in Miami at a pricey restaurant and we ordered several dishes off of the menu. We were prepared to spend a pretty penny and weren’t expecting a superior culinary experience, or the best service of our lives. What we were expecting was to be treated to relatively good service, with some modicum of respect and to sense at least some appreciation for our business. As the evening progressed, our server became increasingly impatient and rude. Frankly, i’m not sure why. We were a table of 10, but we weren’t particularly demanding of her time or attention. She just didn’t come by very often, and when she did she wasn’t particularly interested in how we were doing. Thankfully, one of the busboys was doing his best to help us throughout the evening.
Toward the end, we ordered 4 espressos and after another decade got 2. When we were able to track down our server and asked for 2 more, we got 1. We then asked for another and she snapped, saying «you ordered 4 and keep asking for 2 more, how many is it that you actually need?!» We explained what had occurred, but it was downhill from there. She snapped at us several more times after that. Our bill was over a grand, naturally. Due to the size of our party, gratuity was included. When the bill came, we weren’t comfortable tipping 18% after being mistreated in the way we had been so we called over the manager. This isn’t something i’ve ever done before, EVER. When we explained our position on the tip in a very calm and respectful manner, we received a very curt and dismissive reply. This was by far the WORST experience i’ve ever had in a restaurant in any city, or country EVER. Customers should not be treated this way, particularly when it’s clear that they aren’t being irrational or overly demanding. I don’t understand why staff at a restaurant would be so unconcerned with the level of customer service provided. To make matters worse, they charged my card twice, for two very different amounts. will never step foot inside Cavalli again and would discourage anyone from spending their money this establishment.

Cavalli is nested in a prime location and has that 80’s «Miami feel» to it when you arrive.
I was given the opportunity in trying this restaurant out through Concierge Connect. This is a great spot for high-​end clientele, business travelers and couples looking for an upbeat ambiance inside of their lounge, located upstairs.
The Lamb Ossobuco, Lobster Risotto, Antipasti Sampler and Donuts with Nutella filling were exceptional.
I find this spot to be great on Tuesday nights.

We made reservations for Monday night. The atmosphere was formal and the people there… beautiful ! So please dress to impress. Specialty cocktails is a must! We had wine on top of that, they had a pretty nice selections. We sat out side and ladies if you make frequent bathroom trips ask to be seated inside. I wish I did. Each of us ordered appetizers and a main course that way we got to sample a variety of the food. Personally the food was a 7 for me. The service was awesome. I enjoy the ambiance more then anything else. It’s a must experience if you are with a group of friends, looking to people watch and have fancy cocktails!

I struggled with choosing a rating for this restaurant… The décor? Awesome. The waitstaff? Meh. Slow and so many times our water glasses sat empty. That’s unacceptable to me when paying these pieces. The food? A mix of great (gnocchi & risotto) with bland (fish on Miami spice menu). The tiramisu was some of the best I have ever had, but I don’t think this would be a place I would frequent. It has nice outdoor seating, but this place didn’t blow me away.

Nice cool place, service good but is missing something.
Appetizer were ok and the food was good but i was expecting better.
High point is their gnnochi, was really the best I have ever tried.
Low point they put us 6 in a round small table that we couldnt share our appetizers.
So I would go back and I would recommend for a nice tranquil dinner.

The food, ambiance, service are perfecto!
I’ve read many bad reviews about his place but, I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS!!!
A perfect evening in SB under the stars!

My husband decides to celebrate my birthday in this place that looked very fancy and with the name of a famous well known designer. He called in advance to make the reservation (with a credit card) and Ordered a pre set Menu, to make sure everything was going to be ready as we were a party of 22 people.
The place Looks tacky, It was dirty and the air conditioning does not work well. The service was awful, the food was average, not worth the money we paid! The appetizers were just ok and the Main courses horrible, tasteless risotto and overcooked meat. And the drinks were a real nightmare, the lychee martini was hot and in a glass of white wine because they were short of martini glasses and on top of that they took like 20 min to be ready.
The place was not crowded, there were a lot of empty tables. And the price!!! Super expensive for the bad service (22% included btw) and horrible food we got! 5000 $ waste in a horrible experience! Never ever Again!!!
Honestly, I dont believe this place is going to last long here in Miami

Came back here and must change my review Bc omg what an upgrade!!! Dishes r yummy now and I noticed 2 dishes I had before were changed to better taste and presentation! Plus the lounge is idk how to describe it… better than best! Older selected crowd, crème de la crème! Awesome music for every taste and best of all: volume!!! This ain’t no LIV nor space up there it’s Florence lounge style at it’s best! Dance and meet and chat with people worthy of your time! Yes guys! Congrats! My new fav place in south beach! Keep it up! Btw I didn’t change my review Bc of any discounts or comps from managers etc this is GENUINE u hv my word ppl! 6 stars!!!

South Beach is back! Had an awesome time at the bar. Went with friends to have some cocktails at the downstairs bar and they were some of the best I’ve had. Lorenzo from Italy made amazing concoctions that everyone raved about and explained many of the other amusing choices. Some w Vin Sant, which I tried for first time and a refreshing one made with pear infused brandy. The décor is very sharp, wild and luxurious… Like everything Mr. Cavalli does.
We’ll defenetly have to come back to try the cuisine, it looked really good.

The verdict is in. Cavalli is here to stay!
Cavalli is a refreshing new addition to the Miami scene. The restaurant is gorgeous with sleek chrome accents, Cavalli print adorned tables and lots of sexy people!
We arrived on a chilly Miami night to find that the outside patio was just as cozy as the inside of the restaurant. The Hostess dressed head to toe in Cavalli was welcoming and promptly walked us over to the bar area. Which oddly enough did not have any seating, but we didn’t mind. Bar staff was engaging, informative and… Really good looking! lol I had one sip of my drink and our table was ready. Our waiter was pleasant and professional. I’m so over the stuffy staff at other Miami restaurants. The Cavalli staff makes such a huge difference on your experience. It’s not just the food, but the way you feel when you’re dining here. It was perfect!
The highlights of my meal were:
Risotto with Black Truffle — A Must!
48-​Day Aged Classic Florentine Steak — Delicious!
Red King Crab (not on the menu) — melt in your mouth goodness!
Exotically delicious food with welcoming staff and excellent service. Can’t wait to go back!
