La Montanara

A friend recommended this restaurant in Aventura & we really enjoyed ourselves. Beautiful ambiance & friendly authentic Italian staff. The salad had a delicious balsamic dressing. My wife enjoyed her Risotto. We would recommend this restaurant.

Walking in you can tell his place is great for a date or intimate gatherings. The service is great but not incredible and the food is AMAZING! Bön Appetit for the pasta dishes!

It’s amazing! I’ve driven by this office complex for years and said lets go there but we finally did and it’s awesome. Happy hour bar treats, ½ price wine (awesome selection) on Wednesday, great atmosphere, and based on our Gnocchi and Tagliatelle selections great food. Can’t wait to try the pizza!

While its not easy to order a vegan meal from an Italian restaurant, I was able to create a custom veggie pizza that was very good. They really loaded it up with all the toppings I asked for to make up for the lack of meat and cheese, that was nice of them. The delivery wait time was fair, I would definitely order from them again.
Next time I think I’ll try their risotto!

The food here is awesome! The setting is perfect for a date not too loud. There were a few things that weren’t perfect but it’s Miami, so can’t expect much. Enzo the manager was great and made the dining experience worthwhile.

This hidden gem in Aventura is amazing! The food is fresh, the pasta is made there and they have gluten free pasta, also the service is great. If you ever visit this place you have to try their ricotta cheese cake omg! And their pizza!

It’s just delicious!!! I have never seen an italian menu like this one. Lots of variety in pizza, pasta, seafood, chicken and meat. The focaccia with mascarpone and prosciutto is delicious. Also the lamb ragu with truffle oil is… I can’t describe it, it’s too good.
They offer homemade pasta and they also have a bar with a good variety of antipasto. This place is not cheap but the quality of the food is definitely worth the money.

So excited to finally give a 5-​star review after a while! LOVED THIS PLACE! At first I was a bit skeptical about trying it out simply because it’s a long drive for me, but ended up giving it a shot. SO DELICIOUS! The customer service was amazing! Our waiter was so friendly and took his time to explain everything with details. The carpaccio was to die for! Since we heard the pasta was made freshly there, we ordered a black tortellini filled with lobster… OMG! I’m going back just for THAT! The cheese + wine risotto was incredible too! After we finished eating, our waiter brought us some Limoncello shots «de la casa» (free!!) and it came in the coolest presentation (literally) The bottle was frozen inside a huge ice cube :)
Overall, highly recommending this place and planning on going back soon!!!

Just finished dinner here, the food is amazing, I had a pasta dish with lamb red sauce. You have to get the ricotta cake with ice cream, it is to die for. I would recommend this place to friends & family.

This is a hidden jewel. Located in Aventura, behind and across the street from the Publix on 188^th St. This may be the best kept secret for pizza in North Miami. The service is awesome, and the food is even better. I ordered a pizza with arugula, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and prosciutto. When I say amazing. The crust must be dipped in virgin olive oil, because it was so delicious. Eva, the bartender is really cool. She is from Hungary, and recommended a nice Chilean red wine that complimented my pizza pretty well.
Great food and warm service. I’ll be back to try other dishes. Another patron told me the food, other than pizza was amazing.

If you ever are in the mood for a good and thin pizza this is your place. Drinks are great and not incredible expensive. Bartender is as good as it gets.

Love this place! Monte Carlo pizza and glass of wine is my go to on a casual Friday night.

A hidden gem to say the least! Amazing food and five star on service along with taste. Homemade pastas, I’ll be back thank you Enzo for caring about your costumers and this business!

Great food and a great service
We had the salmon and tenderloin medallions
Was perfect !!
Thank you will see you again

This restaurant is one of my Favorites. I’ve had the osso buco, the frutti de mare, the stracciatella, the foccace, panna cotta, briciolatta (amazing)…and I some other dishes I can’t remember right now. Everything has been exceptional.
The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, there’s a nice bar in the front, you can see the pizza oven when you walk in, and there’s dim lighting and lush décor. The staff here is on point. Waiters are attentive, and tuned in to your needs without seeming like they are lurking right behind you.
The food is authentic, but if you are the kind of person who thinks Italian food is just a big bowl of pasta and a tiramisu, then this restaurant might not be for you. It’s the seafood items, the osso bucu, the lamb, and foccace that keep me coming back. And the briciolatta is my absolute favorite dessert. It is a ricotta cake with dark chocolate, not too sweet, served with ice cream. My husband had a paella special once, and he said it was fantastic, he raved about it for the whole weekend!

Oh my gosh. Amazing pasta and pizza. A little pricey but worth it. Pasta is homemade… Best dish is some green and yellow pasta. Great service… Enzo was the best!

Decent venezuelan/​italian transplant in Aventura.
great service, and decent pasta. We ordered a bunch of risottos and everything except the risotto with pear and goat cheese was good. I ordered butternut squash risotto and was happy with it. My mom’s goat cheese risotto was a smidge to sour.

I went today and I had Spinach Salad and It was Ok. The rest of the party ordered different plates, among them was Carpaccio di Polipo, which in my opinion was not good. The focaccia of prosciutto e mascarpone is very delicious.
Certainly, I would recommend this restaurant if you are around the area

I had Rigatoni Al Filetto Di Pomodoro, baby spinach salad, and a glass of chianti. It was as good as it gets! Others in my party had Zuppa Di Lenticchie
Classic lentil soup with ditalini pasta, and Veal. They LOVED it, they are the ones who brought me. Their deserts are killer, their coffee was also great and they serve it with real cream if you like. I WILL go back.

The food and service were both OUTSTANDING. We were certainly not disappointed with our selections, or the recommendations of the staff. Each and every staff member was very polite, pleasant and attentive. Go with their recommendations and you can’t go wrong.
