First off, I was not expecting to enjoy this place so much. I went as a business dinner, and this restaurant was picked by the customer. We ordered a few apps and dishes to share everything. When we told the waiter we were sharing everything, he asked if there was a particular order we wanted things to arrive. We left that up to him, and he proceeded to make sure everything was served to us directly onto our plates at the table. He served things as separate courses so our table didn't get loaded down with a bunch of plates. It was perfect. The pasta is delicious. We tried both the gnocchi and the caccio e Pepe. Definitely my favorite part of the meal. Also tried the meatball, cured meats charcuterie, sea bass, and veal chop. Everything was really. Very pricey, but very good. Would definitely recommend! The waiter also asked if any of us had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Very nice touch!

Zucca, nestled in the heart of Coral Gables, is not just a restaurant; it's an experience. From the moment you step into its elegant, yet inviting ambiance, you're transported to the heart of Italy. The service, particularly by our attentive waitress Sandra, was impeccable. Her knowledge of the menu and her warm demeanor elevated our dining experience. The star of the show was undoubtedly the zucchini flowers. A delicate masterpiece, it was filled with a creamy ricotta cheese and lightly fried to golden perfection. Each bite was a burst of flavor, a testament to the chef's artistry. The cacio e pepe was another highlight. The pasta, cooked al dente, was tossed in a rich, creamy sauce that was perfectly balanced. The simplicity of the dish was elevated to new heights, showcasing the true essence of Italian cuisine. To conclude our culinary journey, we indulged in the vanilla gelato. Smooth, creamy, and bursting with flavor, it was the perfect ending to a truly memorable meal. Zucca is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination for food lovers. With its exceptional service, delectable cuisine, and elegant atmosphere, it's a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience in Coral Gables.

I've been here before for business lunches and it's good. I went for dinner last weekend and the ambiance was really nice. You definitely need a reservation on a Friday night. The service was good and attentive. I had the gnnochi and it was very cheesy. I recommend. The ocutupus was too chewy for my taste but good. It's a good date night spot. Dessert was a chocolate cake type with pistacho ice cream. The pistachio ice cream reminded me of the one from Italy. Overall good place to go.

Zucca is one of those beautiful restaurants, that have food that is just as good. Truly a beautiful spot in a centric coral gables location, Zucca is an upscale Italian spot that serves some of the best pasta dishes I have ever had in Miami. Not to mention the service and the ambiance is top tier. You can tell they really put their customers first, and it shows in the service . They have delicious appetizers , one of my favorites is the fried zucchini flowers. The pasta dishes are all amazing but if I had to recommend one it would be the tagliatelle with mushrooms- the textures and flavors are to die for. The special of the night was a short rib ragu with red wine, it was amazing - comparable to what I've tried in Italy. You also must try their tiramisu, it's wonderful. They have great cocktails as well - one with mezcal and passion fruit I tried was delicious , and even my friends who didn't like mezcal enjoyed it. This place is one of my favorites in Miami, and I highly recommend coming by. It perfect for date night, family dinner, or business .

By far one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant in a long time. All the important elements came together for an amazing experience. The service was so on point! I can't believe how many people checked in on us, including the manager. My friend and I chose the Miami Spice lunch menu and Aperol Spritz for a drink. I got the Gamberini in Tempura, the Tagliata di Filetto di Manzo con polenta, and tiramisu al limoncello. The ambiance was elegant, and they even had a bartender on wheels. Parking was available via pay to park on the street.

This is an elegant Italian restaurant located inside the renovated St Michael hotel in Coral Gables. The building is very pretty and historical. Inside, the restaurant the decor is classic and timeless. The service was impeccable. I tried their Miami spice lunch - APPETIZER - Tempura Prawn served over a black lentil salad, with burrata cream and crispy "Guanciale". This was a wonderful start to my meal. The huge prawn was very fresh, and the tempura batter was very light and crisp. MAIN - Sliced beef tenderloins with crispy polenta, parmigiano fondue and a black truffle sauce. Another marvelous dish, I especially adored their sauce. DESSERT - Homemade Italian Limoncello Tiramisu. To finish I tried their twist on a tiramisu, which was very light and a lemon flavour. All in all, this was a delightful visit, and I recommend.

Zucca, nestled in the historic Hotel St. Michel in Coral Gables, offers an exceptional dining experience with impeccable service. From the moment we arrived, the waiter was incredibly attentive and brought a fun, engaging energy to our meal. The Miami Spice menu featured generously sized cocktails for just $11, and the wines were reasonably priced between $10 and $15. The Italian ristorante and bar exudes sophistication, serving soul-satisfying, authentic Italian cuisine in a refined setting. We started with appetizers like the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, adorned with white beech mushrooms and Grana Padano, and the Crispy Potato Balls with parmigiano cream and truffled egg emulsion, both of which were outstanding. The Tuna Crudo with marinated watermelon and cucumber mint broth was a refreshing highlight. For entrees, the Bucatini with Lamb Ragu and pistachios was a standout, as was the Open Grilled Sea Bream with fennel and orange salad. The Grilled Hanger Steak, paired with potato croquettes and gorgonzola, was equally impressive. Don't miss dessert-- the Tiramisu Della Casa is a must-try, and the gelato, particularly the vanilla, was surprisingly memorable. Zucca's ambiance, complemented by velvet curtains and a quiet, intimate setting, ensures a dining experience that's both comfortable and sophisticated.

I have had Zucca on my list for years now and finally got to try it and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious and authentic it was. They serve Northern Italian inspired dishes and the food and service was top notch. The crowd was a bit older, which I didn't mind as that usually indicates that the food is good For starters, we got the anitpasto platter and chose prosciutto and sopressata for our meats and parmesan cheese. The meats were very delicious and thinly sliced and we really enjoyed the bread and focaccia that they served with it. For our main course my husband got the truffle pasta, which our waiter said was one of their most popular dishes. He enjoyed it, but did say it was a little salty. For my dish, I chose the pumpkin ravioli and it was so so so yummy! I did not leave one bite on the plate, I was so full but it was the perfect balance of savory and sweet. It gave me all the fall vibes, although it is summer! We were too full for dessert but I definitely want to go back to try the Tiramisu.

WOW! This restaurant is a MUST if you're in the area or looking for the perfect date night. The dish I ordered "Tagliatelle Ai Funghi Misti Con Fonduta Di Parmigiano E Caviale Al Tartufo Nero" is the best funghi pasta i have ever had. My boyfriend ordered the "Sedanini Al Sugo Di Filetto Di Angus" not as good as my own dish BUT we'd still give it a 4/5 stars. Great service and very nice ambiance.
