Trattoria Blu - Miami

Took one star off only because our food took awhile to come out. Despite the slow kitchen, Luis, our server, was extremely kind and always kept us informed on the status of our food and thanked us for our patience. Our food was delicious both pastas and pizzas, as well as the desserts. We were a large group and each person enjoyed their dish.

We love the food here. Everything is good. I love the pastas, pizzas, appetizers, desserts... it’s all amazing! My favorite is the pistachio farfalle pasta! The service struggles a little bit when they’re busy. It needs organization. People seem to be running around like crazy but not knowing what to do. The place is very small, so that might be an issue. The food comes out fairly fast, but they should bring everyone’s food out at the same time. I don’t like to start eating before others at my table. So, they should have everything ready at the same time. The managers are very nice. I hope they continue their success and get the service figured out. We’ll definitely be back.

Had a delicious lunch here! We all had a pizza and we all left very happy and full! Will definitely be back here!

In my search for pizza I came across this new restaurant. Being from Connecticut, I missed the pizza as nothing around here even comes close to pizza from up north. I decided to give it a shot I ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pie and it was fantastic! Crispy thin crust and very flavorful toppings very similar to NY/New Haven pizza. I told my wife about it and she was very excited to try it out. We went back 2 days later I decided to try the Fettuccine Funghi with pink sauce, and my wife ordered a pie with sausage, mushrooms and anchovies. The fettuccine was delicious. It looked very heavy, but I was pleasantly surprised as it was much lighter than it appeared and was extremely flavorful my wife agreed. Now onto the pizza.... wow, what a difference from my first experience. The crust was SOGGY, but not soggy from grease, and the cheese was chewy (not in a good way). My assumption is that the brick oven wasn't hot enough. I noticed the chef put on a new log when he put in our pizza. Such a disappointment! Suggestions: More topping options ie: fresh green peppers, onions etc. More than just beer and wine. I could see myself having a pizza and a few cocktails at the bar after work. Crank up the AC! It was pretty hot in there probably due to the oven, and I was sweating. There was a large party next to us and I noticed several of the ladies were fanning themselves, also. I hope this was a fluke because I really enjoyed my first pizza experience. It would be great to have a place close to my house that I could go to for a good pie. The place is small, but very attractive, and the service was very good. I will give them another shot and hope they win me over.

The food is amazing. Atmosphere is very nice. The owner came by to ensure we had a great time and enjoyed our food. Not a 5 due to the service. But, it's new and it has huge potential. I'm absolutely coming back again.
