Cecconi’s Italian Restaurant

This is such a romantic spot in Soho Beach in Miami! There are string lights all over the place with dimmed lighting. The vibe is phenomenal! Came here for dinner and the place was packed. We were seated almost immediately and because we were hungry, we literally ordered half the menu. Beef tartar — I could eat it all day long! Just writing about it makes me hungry! The octopus was very tender and had the right amount of spices and olive oil. Now onto the main stuff: fontina raviola with porcini & truffle — so decadent, it literally melts in your mouth. We finished our fabulous dinner off with scallops which were perfectly cooked. Such a beautiful date night in a gorgeous restaurant! Can’t wait to go back to Miami just to eat there!

This is my third visit to the restaurant. On my last visit I noticed that the quality of the food and portions were reduced. There was a dirty mop smell throughout the bar area.
Total disappointment my expectations were not met as on previous dinning experiences.

Honestly the MOST DELICIOUS food that I have had in all of Miami and I have lived here for 2 years. Also amazing service and the most romantic setting! LOVE

Happy hour is a great deal with lots of good small bites and sandwiches, etc. Brunch has a massive selection and a decent price. The food is pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The décor and outdoor like seating are very cool. The service needs some work.

I went for Sunday brunch with some great friends and I really enjoyed the ambience!
The food selection was nice; they have something for everyone. It was a nice buffet, some of my favorites were the ceviche, their brisket, and their desserts!
The brunch includes one drink; but you may also do bottomless. My friends and I are always searching for a good bottomless brunch spot.
The pricing is pretty average for the area, a little overpriced for what all you get, but you’re paying for the scene!
We will definitely be back and overall the ambience is great, food and drinks are good, and the service was good. Ta ta for now!

Best sunday brunch in miami beach if your looking for that real american gourmet brunch. From salmon to pizza to waffles. You name it! Exquisite food and location.

Le service est vraiment mauvais. Ils m’ont chargé en plus le pourboire qu’ils né mériteraient vraiment pas. Très déçu de ce choix.

Cecconi’s has a pretty awesome brunch however I chose the a la carte menu to not overindulge… really? Yeah, really. That’s how I set myself limitations to not roll around the block.
So the vibe at Soho is phenomenal! You walk in what appears to be the main eating hall where brunch is set-​up with live music and can choose to sit here or the outside patio. Most people seem to choose al fresco since it’s set up so nicely. One thing to note: you cannot access Cecconi’s from the boardwalk and will have to walk around and enter Soho from the main entrance. Apparently to enter thru the boardwalk, you must be a SOHO member of which we were not so we had to make the extra walk. Slight inconvenience but you forget all of that once you’re seated.
Although it’s a limited menu for a la carte, there was plenty to accommodate all types of dietary requests which was great since I’d run along the boardwalk in the morning and didn’t want to completely ruin the workout by getting a heavy meal. I opted for the fruit bowl as well as the avocado toast with a poached egg. Pretty simple but pretty amazing. Poached egg was perfect and overall breakfast was exactly what I would’ve wanted it to be.
2 juices, 2 avocado toasts, 1 fruit bowl and a grain bowl topped with goji berries, blueberries, cacao and shredded coconut was about $ 88– maybe it’s a lot for the beach, maybe it’s a little, maybe it’s just right… who cares– when it comes to good food and feeling «bougie» (pronounced boo-​she) that’s just what you gotta do and not complain.

Un imperdible del Soho de Miami, gran atención, excelente comida, gran ambiente, personal de recepción y capitán y meseros de lo mejor, lo único complicado es el valet parking, desde luego siempre lleno.

I came for one reason only: happy hour items $ 4 – 7 from 4 to 7 pm. My husband and I were in town for a few days and wanted something not outrageously priced and fun/​casual. I found Ceconni’s mentioned in several online posts, so thought it might be the ticket.
We walked into Soho Beach House looking for some help to find the restaurant. It’s a dimly lit room, so it was not immediately obvious where to go. The hostesses were somewhat helpful and not very friendly. I got the impression that Cecconni’s prefers reservations and just kind of deals with the happy hour crowd. We were only allowed the indoor lobby of the hotel or the outdoor bar. Which was totally fine with me (I swear!), but there were an abundance of empty tables the entire we were there. Soooo… just a little weird.
But let’s get on to the food & ambience, because that is really the reason to go to Cecconni’s. We came after sunset, so the (outdoor) area was very dark but illuminated with candles. At the bar, we ordered almost immediately to get our money’s worth before 7 pm. We ordered all the $ 4 items, but loved the meatballs & bruschetta best from that list. From the $ 7 menu, we ordered calamari and the dirty burger. Dirty burger is a MUST. We split it and immediately regretted not ordering our own. There are also beers for $ 4 and wine /​a couple of cocktails for $ 7. The food came out super quickly and was all really really good.
TLDR: awesome food, happy hour prices are top notch, great location, romantic ambience, customer relations needs some work.

If you are looking for a cup of tea and a small bite to eat, Cecconi will not disappoint. Their veggie platter and dip was simply beautiful. It was a colourful array of raw veggies (loved the watermelon radish). The dip was elegantly served in a petite copper pot. Service was fast and courteous (good when you are there with a busy one year old) the room is stunning — lots of interesting art on the walls.

Loved Cecconi’s! Great atmosphere great food great drinks and fantastic dessert! Had the ricotta cicchetti (a little underwhelming), agnolotti (yum), short rib (succulent), eggplant parm (amazing) and the profiteroles (out of this world). Highly recommend!

El lugar está muy padre y la comida muy buena. Pedimos al centro y todo estaba buenísimo. Los cocteles deliciosos.

The octopus app the best I have ever tried local and spiced just right tender and just delicious. Lamb sausage excellent and the fried olives amazing… the veal was just awesome wow this restaurant exceeded expectations we came without reservations it was packed but they accommodated us and we were very happy I recommend it to all in Miami beach …

This is a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful ambience. The lights surrounding the restaurant make this perfect for a romantic dinner for two yet children will enjoy this restaurant too!
We ordered the :
Potato gnocchi — it was ok. Not anything out of this world but still good.
Bruschetta– nice add on (but not amazingly special)
Whipped ricotta– if it wasn’t for too much truffle (in my opinion) this would be such an amazing dish. I really enjoyed it but just felt that the dish was completely taken over by the truffle.
Black truffle pizza– I have mixed feelings on this one. I think it was nice overall by again, too much truffle for my liking. Still, it’s a wonderful pizza for someone who loves black truffle.
My diet is restricted in terms of eating meat and I’m sure that the meat dishes here must have been wonderful. We had to stick to vegetarian and seafood dishes.
Kids spaghetti — my kids loved it so we ordered more after they were done.
Lobster with spaghetti — I loved this! I would come back to the restaurant just for this delicious dish. I’ve tried lobster with spaghetti in many places in the world but there was something special about this one. This dish stood out for me.
I give this a good four star. It is expensive for what you get but well worth the splurge to try out some unique and unusual dishes.
Make sure to order the spaghetti and lobster dish!

I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile now, and was finally able to this past Saturday. We went for Aperitivo, which is available from 4−7pm, Tues-​Sat. Between the 2 of us, we had the bruschetta (good, fairly typical), meatballs (I don’t eat beef but husband liked them), gorgonzola gnocchi and whipped truffle ricotta were AMAZING!!! My husband also had the dirty burger and said it was in his top 5 burgers ever, and I had the burrata, tomato, pistachio, avocado salad which was very fresh. my only little disappointment is that the center of the cheese was more firm than I like. It was more like a regular ball of mozzarella instead of having the super soft, oozey center I love with most burrata.
The drinks were perfect. We both had a ron old fashioned (very original, made with rum! Nice change from bourbon) and the Subtle & Sage which was light and refreshing.
Our server was very nice, and the courtyard ambiance can’t be beat. I would recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening.

This is my first positive review about an Italian restaurant in about oh 3 years. Cecconi’s is one of those places that charms you with the ambiance but, I go to eat and they did not disappoint. The service was helpful and courteous, the waiter helped us choose the dishes. We went for brunch, we had the eggs Benedict, meatballs, and eggplant Parmesan. Meatballs were exceptional and the sauce was very nice. The eggs Benedict tied together nicely and the eggplant Parmesan went great with the arugula. The parking stinks! and the bread was not that good here and it was not really that fresh either. I learned that they do this afternoon tea thing as well and I will be coming back for that in a week, hopefully they can make it 2 for 2 (threw a little sports terminology in there).

Beautiful restaurant! Love the atmosphere. The servers are very attentive and the food is amazing. The calamaris were phenomenal.
The black truffles with goat cheese pizza is probably one of the best pizzas I have ever had!
I would love to return for dinner and see how the lovely lights flatter the place.

This. Happy. Hour.
For a restaurant of this caliber both food and ambience wise, their happy hour almost seems too good to be true… except it’s not. Tuesday through Saturday from 4 to 7 pm, they offer a happy hour menu featuring different items priced at either 4 or 7 dollars.
Personal faves? The baked gnocchi romana with gorgonzola ($ 4), pizzetta with lamb sausage, broccolini, and manchego ($ 7), and the It’s Amore! cocktail which is Bulleit Rye, marsala, lime, and rosemary ($ 7).

People think you’re bougie when you tell them you’re coming here. Celebs visit, and I spotted Cara Delevigne in the lobby during brunch once. I’ve been a solid handful of times.
Most recently, I stopped by for afternoon tea.
Food: You get a refillable pot of tea and a tiered platters of finger sandwiches, a biscuit, and sweets all served in and on signature Soho House tableware. While fun to eat, this food was average.
We also ordered calamari and the whipped ricotta served with honey, hot pepper flakes, and truffle. The ricotta is delicious – creamy mouthfeel with the sweet complementing the spicy and umami of the truffle.
Service: Service here is a mixed bag. More often than not, we have had inattentive servers, and you have to ask multiple times for something simple like water.
Recommend for atmosphere and certain food items. Tip: Happy hour is a super good deal!

The brunch at Cecconi’s is an incredible experience. It offers something for everyone. I went back last Sunday for the second time to celebrate my friend Denisse’s birthday with 10 gals. I think they’ve enhanced the brunch even more since the last time I was there.
I started off at the omelette station and selected the mushroom, cheese, peppers omelet. (Eggs are a must for my brunch experience!) I moved on and had some manchego and Brie cheese, lasagne, pizza, waffles with a berry compote, yogurt and berries.
The dessert table had an assortment of visually delightful desserts. I picked the berry cheesecake option because I couldn’t have it all. (I’ll return and try each and every one though!). Everything I ate was delicious cooked to perfection and very fresh. I like that they include a mimosa with the meal. My only suggestion is that that they probably should include 2 mimosas for the price of the brunch. ;)
One of my friends had the shrimp and the oysters and she loved them. I got a little full so didn’t continue trying the other options. Which means I’ll have to return soon to have the opportunity to try all the offerings. :-)
If you haven’t tried this brunch, I urge you to try it as soon as possible. It is one of the best brunches in Miami.

While visiting miami we went to Cecconis, it was awesome! Service was great, the patio beautiful! The food Delish! We went during happy hr. And I actually had to ask about it, since no one mention it. But anyways, this place its a must specially at night when all the lights are on it must be beautiful! Within walking distance of Fountainbleu. Just great!

Melhor brunch da minha vida! Atenção lugar super requisitado! Então faça reserva 1 semana antes e de preferência no ar livre que é super romântico! Se não conseguir fazer a reserva chegue umas 10:30 da manhã para garantir uma boa mesa! Enrrole até as 11h, horário que começa o brunch! E ataqueeeee tudo que poder dentro de vc rs! VAle muito a pena, serviço impecável e o garçom era muito simpático! O preço é salgado mas novamente digo, vale muita a pena! Não vou falar da comida pois as fotos que tirei falam por si só!

Cecconi is a great place to go to at anytime. If it’s for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you’ll have a great experience.
I went there for brunch on my mom’s birthday and it was great. I had the eggs benedict and it was delicious. I tried my dad’s scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and it was great too!
To go, I had an heirloom, tomatoes, pesto and burrata pizza and it was the perfect size! I still had some to save for later.
Whether you’re a local or just visiting Miami, you should try Cecconi!

We had such a great Night at our wedding. The place is amazing in the dark and the Service is close to Perfect. Thank you so much for making our dreams come true!
And the Truffle Pizza was really good.
