Puntino

Consistently the best food in Miami. The service is impeccable and the servers are very warm. The food is so fresh that you taste the difference. They never rush you out of your table. It’s our favorite restaurant!

The meal I got was superb! Aldente spaghetti with tomato sauce, buratta and shrimp. With a crisp/​dry/​perfect white wine. The only down fall of this place was the service. They were a little sensitive, but the food made up for the personal experience. That food tho!!! Yes hunty

Great place!
I love their soups and the Spaghetti di Mare!
Spent there a lovely Sunday lunch and will be back soon!
Good jon guys!

Great dinner spot in Key Biscayne for Italian food. I have the truffle ravioli which was rich and tasty. For an appetizer, the beef carpaccio was good however the best app was the Burrata (an Italian type fresh cheese) served with roasted vegetables. If you love fresh cheese, this will be heaven. Another main we had was the oso buco special with a side of handmade pasta.
Pair with a good glass of red, sit outside and enjoy the cuisine made by Italians fresh for you.

One of the best pasta dishes I have ever had in my 47 years. The tagliatelle was expertly made and prepared in a rich red cream sauce. Salads were very nice as well as a tasty fish carpaccio. Staff were pleasant and attentive. It was moderately pricey but I think well worth it.

One of the best Italian restaurants that we have experienced. The food was amazing! It is pricey but you get what you pay for! I invited friends and we are like kings. The bill was priced for kings too but that’s my fault for not paying attention. It was well worth the money and will visit them again soon! Two thumbs up!

This is one of the finest Italian restaurants I’ve ever visited. The pasta is hand made and the ingredients are fresh. I asked about the cheese, and it comes straight from Naples, Italy. We really enjoying dining in this restaurant.

Very nice place, the food excelent.
Really very beautifull restaurant to cane with the family, really italian… like everrything in key biscayne A1…

Yes ! This place rocks .
The owner is from Napoli, Italy and the head chef is also Italian. What else can I say …
Their dishes are authentic old world recipes.
I’ve had the spaghetti alle vongole (baby clams in white wine sauce), grilled sea bass, carpaccio with filet mignon, pan seared veal with lemon, and their special Authentic Napolitanian Pizzas have a delicious crust, home made tomato sauce and genuine quality ingredients. What a treat for us Key Biscayne Island Lizard Loungers !

Small potions and outrageously expensive. The food and service were ok, but I hate being ripped-​off. No value for your money.

Great spot on Key Biscayne. Décor is inviting, the service is attentive, the food is good. Pricey for the fish but the home made pastas are wonderful. I would recommend this restaurant.

This place never disappoints, whether you are eating in the main restaurant or in the pizzeria next door. The food is delicious, fresh, made with high quality ingredients and the service is fantastic. It’s upscale yet still informal and I never tire of trying all their wonderful menu options and fantastic specials. One of the best restaurants on the island for sure.

Very well Décor place kind of hip. Order a great Meat Carpaccio and then a Pasta Bolognese.
Service was pretty good. Need to try the Pizza. Definitely will be back.

Everybody suggest me to try this restaurant so I went to lunch during my day off.
Pasta, Branzino, Calamari (that I order) was good.
i give them 4 star and not 5 because I didn’t find nothing that surprise me.

I have been here on several business lunches and have never been disappointed. The service is good but don’t think that you are going to be in an out in a half hour. The panini’s rival the best panin’s I have had in Rome. All of the food is fresh and tasty. I have not tried the place for dinner but I could see how it would be a fun place to dine. The food is a bit pricey but you will not be disappointed.

I’m going to come back and add to this review but I wanted to establish the fact that this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The Vongole was incredible. The Bronzino was huge and delicious.
I came back to say that I still feel the same way. I have to get back here!

Good food and service. Upscale dinning. Outside seating. Casual dress okay outside. Dog friendly outside. Pricey.

Key Biscayne is a beautiful island but there are not alot of high end restaurants. Actually, alot of lower end restaurants charge high prices because of the limited options and competition. Puntino is the first high end restaurant i have found on the island with fantastic food, a very comfortable environment with beautiful artwork, entertaining service from authentic Italian waiters delivering fantastic authentic Italian food. i prefer to sit on the patio where they have it lit just right, not too bright but not dark. overall a great environment to have a great Italian meal for very reasonable prices.

There is no doubt that Puntino has come a long way from when it initially opened. The staff is very friendly, the environment is relaxed (if not fun) and there is always a push for improvement. The food has also come a long way, however my personal preference are the pastas… it is slightly hit/​miss with the larger meat dishes, but you can never go wrong with the pastas! Definitely the best Italian on Key Biscayne…
We need to also get Puntino Pizza (next door) recognized here… though the eat in service is much to be desired (it is still new lets give it a chance), the pizza is Excellent! Also, for the locals the take out is easy and timely. Please give it a go! It reminds me of long weekend in Tuscany or even for those Brits on the Key… Pizza Express of London (for non-Brits…simply the best Pizza in England).

Upscale disco dining comes to Key Biscayne. Over the top early 00’s glam décor with glossy blood red walls broken by the ubiquitous random ashlar stacked stone, jetson like sparkly paintings and dripping lava lite chandeliers wrapped in holographic film. The décor is about as cliched as the food on offer and the patrons being served. There is not a sound absorbing material in sight and if the restaurant is full forget about any kind of conversation with your dining partner (s).
The menu takes no chances with all of the currently required dishes for this sort of restaurant represented even if they aren’t Italian. Most of what we had was acceptable if not overpriced. Be careful of what you order or your final check can shoot to the stratosphere. My wife had the pasta appetizer with black truffles and the branzino as as her main course. The extremely small half portion of the pasta was $ 19.00. The Branzino, a farm raised fish and not a large one at that, was $ 35.00. I ordered the pasta bottarga, pretty cutting edge an island where the best olive oil in the grocery is Bertoli. I almost thought I was delivered my sons order of pasta vongole since my pasta had lots of clams and no discernible bottarga. I guess they really have to neuter the strong flavors for the Key Biscayne crowd. There was actually bottarga in the pasta but only about ¹⁄₁₀ of the amount served at Sardinia. It was extremely difficult to find a respectable Italian red wine that wasn’t yet another cliché for under $ 100.00.
While the dinner generally wasn’t bad, it was extremely overpriced for what it was and I half expected dancing to break out on the tables any moment but then I remembered that I was dining on Key Biscayne.
