Osteria del Teatro

Osteria del Teatro has been a South Beach favorite for over 30 years. The classy interior couples perfectly with the unparalleled North Italian specialties. The osteria is located inside a Miami Beach work of art, the Marlin Hotel, which has preserved some of its original deco from the 1930s. A feast for the eyes and palate alike await all with thoughts of visiting the local landmark. Plus, the caring staff will leave you feeling like you just left the house of an Italian nonna. 

In the true Italian spirit, handmade pasta comes in all shapes, forms, and sizes, and is paired perfectly with rich and creamy sauces of the land and sea. We’ve counted at least 13 different types of pasta alone! Try not to let your eyes wander when choosing the carb-rich pleasure. And remember — no one ever makes just one visit to Osteria del Teatro. 

For first-timers, we recommend the fresh local burrata served with tomatoes and basil and casonsei alla bergamasca (ravioli with roasted veal in a decadent, yet aromatic brown butter sage sauce). For substance, battuta di manzo (black Angus fillet mignon) and tonno al rosmarino (marinated wild Ahi tuna with rosemary sauce) are instant sensations. Leave room for dessert. Even in Italy, it is difficult to find a match for their lovingly crafted tiramisu. 

This beloved dining spot is open for dinner Thursday to Sunday, a crème de la crème amidst Miami’s best. Reservations are a must. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
