Perricone’s Marketplace & Cafe

I have been to Pericone’s on a number of occasions over the years and usually found the tomato bruschetta offering to be plentiful and tasty. On this occasion however it was a mix of garlic juice, water and a few diced tomatoes. Not very good. The bread was even lack luster. I am hoping that it was just a bad day in the kitchen because the fish that I had ordered at $ 24 plus was hard and obviously previously frozen. The potato mixture bland, and the veggies were watery. The only redeeming factor was the chocolate mousse and coffee.
I hoped for better. I always like to treat myself when in Miami to a wonderful meal at Pericones, but was let down this time. Hopefully this is not indicative of a downturn.

Patio and garden dining room is very appealing, food was prepared exactly as ordered and was delicious. Our service from Melissa was perfect and she was charming making the experience even better. We will return!!!

I had my baby shower in the private gazebo on Sunday January 24^th. From the moment we got off our cars with all of the décor we had taken, the gentlemen from the valet rushed to help us take everything to the gazebo. There were about 5 – 6 gentlemen carrying boxes of our stuff, so so helpful. I was immediately greeted with Luis and Marie’s big friendly smiles and offered a big cold glass of water. At 7 months pregnant, that was greatly appreciated. The service throughout my event was PERFECTION. No glass of wine was left empty. My family and I were so relaxed and left to want for nothing. Kevin, the manager was also a delight! I recommend Perricone’s for all of your events, I promise you will not be disappointed! Thank you for making my baby shower unforgettable! My guests couldn’t stop raving about the service and food!

Came here on the recommendation of a friend and while not disappointed by any means (service was great) but the dishes I ordered were average. The lobster bisque was creamy but I did not taste any lobster in it which I had been expecting. Thrn I had the linguini with meatballs that the server recommended and it was good. However, the meatballs needed more flavor in itself rather than from the linguini and parmesan. The reason I’ll give a 3 instead of a 2 is that service is part of the experience and the server definitely made it a brtter experience. He was friendly, asking questions and giving suggestions throughout.

This is the first time I have been to Brickell. This is actually the part of Brickell called Mary Brickell Village. It is a lovely area and super fun to walk around. This restaurant is the gem of the neighborhood. You feel like you are walking in to a beer garden? A barn? We ordered a bottle of wine which was priced reasonably and very good. The caesar salad was a perfect starter. The eggplant parmesan was the best I have had and a very generous portion. Super excited for lunch today. I would for sure go back and bring visitors to Miami who want to see Brickell but don’t want to eat in high priced chain.

I’ve been going to Perricone’s for years. Nestled in the heart of what’s now Mary Brickell Village. Steve and his team of professional wait staff are going to wow you with service.
This is a true neighborhood gem. Skip all the nearby chain restaurants and go for something local and authentic. I’ve had sandwiches, pasta dishes, soups are also great. This time I had a classic Caesar salad and added grilled shrimp. You can sit out front at the covered bar area, inside in the main dining room or in the back patio which is air conditioned on hot days and opened up on nice days to experience the tree cover and cool breezes.
My only dislike at this time is all of the nearby construction and all of the traffic and road work it’s created. Not to worry with parking, Perricone’s has its own valet parking and the restaurant will validate your ticket.
If you have a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday, you simply have to experience this romantic and exceptional restaurant. They also have a market and deli if you want to grab something to go.

First time visiting and I fell in love with the it. The atmosphere is definitely one of a kind. The lighting is what makes it and the fans are a treasure in the hot Miami air. The service was great.
I recommend the Brie which was phenomenal, a must have at this place. The pasta dishes Alfredo was good the sauce was delicious and pasta was cooked perfectly.
On your way out, stop and take some baked goods home!

Atmosphere is second to none! Beautiful settings and tucked away from all the city hustle and bustle.
Food is OK. Typical Americanized Italian food. Not terrible for being a yuppie restaurant though. I’ve seen worse.

This place was phenomenal in every way. Service, food, wine, everything.
We called only a few hours beforehand and were able to score reservations for 4 at 7 PM on a Sunday night. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and escorted to our table almost immediately.
Our server was Bellagio, and he was awesome with recommendations and helped make the whole experience a pleasure. They have quite an extensive wine list which is reasonably priced considering the restaurant is smack down in the coolest part of the city of Miami.
We started with the mussel appetizer special. These were delicious and different than what I’m used to when it comes to ordering mussels; the sauce wasn’t the typical garlic/​wine sauce, but rather a Mediterranean sauce, even had a little bit of a kick to it. Very unique and tasty, and the mussels were large and cooked perfectly.
They also bring some bruschetta and bread to your table which is delicious.
For dinner, I ordered some kind of seafood pasta with shrimp, mussels, calamari, and scallops. The seafood was plentiful and definitely quality-​I loved how large the shrimp were, although I do wish they put a little more calamari in the dish. The sauce was absolutely perfect; it was a scampi-​like sauce but wasn’t too decadent as I often kind scampi dishes to be. I asked them to use angel hair instead of linguine which they were happy to do, and the dish was absolutely delicious.
Great dining experience and an absolutely beautiful restaurant. The food is amazing and they validate parking. Definitely a great find for Italian in Miami!

Service and food is top notch here. The atmosphere is unique because there are tree trunks growing inside the restaurant. There was a harpist and guitarist playing the Friday night we visited which added to the ambience.
They bring bread and bruschetta to your table to start. Garlicky and Delish. We ordered the Brie $ 19 to start. It serves at least four people. They top it with Phyllo dough and preserves for a wonderful sweet mix and top it with slivered almonds. It is a deal for $ 19.
I had the lasagna for $ 18 which is excellent. It comes baked in a cast iron skillet. Full of meat and cheese and a good red sauce. My friend was pleased with her quinoa pasta with a wine sauce and full of fresh veggies.
We shared the house Chocolate cake which is shaped like a roof… triangle shape. Inside the idle is mousse and the outside has ganache. We topped it with the homemade vanilla gelato. Cake was $ 8.50 and gelato $ 3.
Overall a great experience. They validate Parking. They have a market and offer delivery. Thursday is pasta day with entrees for $ 10 and $ 12.

My how the mighty have fallen. So my fiancé and I decided to do take from here, and we both understand that there may be a fall off between delivery and eating at the restaurant, but this day was really bad. We decided to go with the gnocchi with cream pesto sauce and the pasta carbonara. I felt like a salad as well so I ordered a caesar salad. The serving of gnocchi’s was small, the pesto cream sauce was separated by the time it arrived and had absolutely no taste. The carbonara came dry, no sauce at all, the pasta was way under cooked, cold and again was flavorless. They sent this big salad full of stocks of romain lettuce, no croutons and this one tiny plastic container of dressing, not to mention the bread was hard as a rock.
So we called the manager who was really nice, he apologized and asked if he could remake the same dishes or if we wanted to try something else. So we decided to go with the spaghetti with meatballs and a lasagna. What a mess this was. The meatball dish came with 2 meatballs, one was super soft, it fell apart as soon as I put a fork to it, nothing but breadcrumbs with no taste and the other meatball was rock hard, the sauce was runny, no taste and really sloppy. The lasagna was hot, which was good, but overall was really bad in taste and consistency, a little ricotta cheese would have been nice to go with the tomato soup pasta sauce they used and then topped it with a big block of mozzarella. Pure garbage! The only positive was that the bread was soft this time. We ended up just throwing it all out and wasting $ 50. At least the manager did try to accommodate us. I should have went with my gut and tried Spahgettinos like I originally wanted to. Sorry guys for the long post, just thought I would let everyone know.

Perricones is great! Nice place for dinner, drinks or to take the parents or a date. Or stop by for gelato!
Ambiance: the ambiance is my favorite part of the Perricones experience. The seating area is indoors but with lots of trees, greenery and tiny white lights. It’s very beautiful. There is also a harp or guitar player playing live music, but it doesn’t dominate the scene. Location is in the heart of Brickell near Mary Brickell Village.
Food: food is good but not great. I’ve had good pasta dishes and the tuna was also pretty decent. The area where you enter has a gelato shop and baked goods which are delicious!
Service: service is great. Wait staff is attentive and on point. Never need to sit around to put in an order or wait for a server to follow up with your table. Sometimes there can be a wait for tables because this is a popular Brickell spot.

Hands down, Perricone’s has the best pasta I’ve ever had. Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my family; place had a good amount of people in it, but we had a reservation and got right in. When we walked in, we entered through their marketplace which had a rustic Italian look. They offered tons of cheeses, and bakery goods; which looking back on it I wish I tried out. They had a Sunday brunch buffet, complete with an omelet station and all the other such things you’d expect for around $ 21, but we went with the regular lunch menu instead.
We started out with not just bread, but complimentary bruschetta as well; whereas most restaurants charge, Perricone’s makes it come standard. The bruschetta has the perfect spice to it, and the bread is soft and warm. For my meal I ordered the Chicken Marsala with came with a side I swapped out for Angel Hair with Alfredo sauce. While the Chicken Marsala wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, I certainly put it in the top tier category. The sauce was thick, not watered down at all to get a true marsala flavor, and the actual portion size was a nice amount for lunch. The side of Angel Hair with Alfredo was simply one of the best pastas I’ve ever had. The pasta was cooked perfectly tender, and the Alfredo was rich and full of flavor. I had to take the majority of the pasta home there was so much, and it was a delight later on. The price of the Chicken Marsala was extremely fair for the portion size and the quality; around $ 18. I can think of many places that would charge just as much if not more and give you a lot less both in quality and quantity.
Just one of the many reasons I’d want to come back here is the multitude of menu options available. So many things that sound good that I’d want to try are on the menu, and if they are even half as good as what I had my first time there, I’ll be impressed. Service was also stellar throughout; we were seated almost right away, our waitress always attended to us, and our drinks were never empty. Their isn’t really anything overtly critical I have to say about this place. Perricone’s fires on all cylinders; this is a restaurant that would be an amazing find anywhere, and it stands even more in Brickell. I highly recommend it, and I’ll be back for sure.

5 star restaurant for food, service and ambience! Came with 2 of my girlfriends to celebrate a birthday and loved everything from start to finish. We opted to sit outside in the patio because realistically it’s the only place you should be seated at. It’s super cute, quaint, romantic and ideal for a date night. We ordered a very delicious and affordable Sauvignon blanc to start our celebration followed by the infamous baked Brie (I advise you would want to devour all this on your own) but it is made to share. You will thank me later. I had the whole wheat penne pasta with salmon as an entrée and it was perfect. Reasonable portion and great option for the healthy conscious. Perricones offers much more than just Italian food, so anything you choose to order will be fantastic!

Love this place. I have been here twice, both times for a bridal shower. I love the look of the restaurant. It is very open and airy and reminds me of Alice in Wonderland! There is grass all over the walls in some areas and makes me feel like I am in a garden tea party!
The staff is great, all the waiters were attentive, quick and helpful. Management was also helping out our large party, adding to the efficient service. One manager even escorted me all the way to the front of the restaurant to show me where the bathroom was.
The food is delicious! Italian can be boring sometimes, but they add fresh ingredients and flavors to keep it interesting. I LOVED the gnocchi stuffed with pear — sweet and savory! The fresh bread and mimosas were constantly flowing. Their carrot cake was also amazing! There is a store in the front that I haven’t checked out yet. The place is always packed for Sunday brunch.
There is valet parking ($ 5 with validation) or there is street parking all over.

I’ve been here for regular dinner, their Thursday night $ 10 pasta special, and weekend brunch and loved all. Definitely do the garden dining, they have cute little lights at night, making it pretty romantic. And for brunch, they have a live music (electric harp), which adds a pleasant, rustic flair to the whole experience.
The best IMO are the Sunday brunch and the Thursday pasta dinners. The Sunday brunch is $ 10 more expensive than Saturday brunch but offers a bit more variety (including smoked salmon and caprese salad) and comes with orange juice (with pulp) and coffee. There’s a variety of muffins, plain croissant, chocolate croissant, bagels and baguettes. They also have sausages, bacon, veggie dishes, and fresh fruit. The Saturday one is a still pretty good deal, and there’s a made-​to-​order omelet station both days (get it!). They serve illy coffee and it is super strong, almost like an espresso.
From the appetizer list, you must try their baked brie, it will change your world; it’s made for sharing with at least 4 people. Their lobster ravioli is also excellent, one of my favorites here. Each ravioli is huge.
I’ve never had a bad experience with the service here. It’s definitely an Italian staple in Brickell.

Dined at this restaurant a few weekends. We had planned on going to Moye but was saddened to find that it was closed. Upon arrival we were seated right away, which is great since we came without any reservation. So here is my review in a nutshell.
Ambiance:
This place is very romantic and perfectly lit great for a first date or date night with your significant other.
Food:
I ordered the grilled chicken penne pasta. It was delicious and good portions. My boyfriend ordered the quinoa pasta. I didn’t taste it but he said it was really good. I have to say that it is refreshing to see that they now offer alternative options for pasta such as whole wheat and quinoa for the healthy conscious foodie. I also had 2 glasses of the organic sangria, which was very delicious.
Service: Our server was friendly, and attentive.
All in all I would recommend this restaurant and will be back!

Perricone’s is a marvelous spot that lies in the center of what now has become the center of the Brickell madness, yet somehow once you walk in, the ambience gives you the feeling that you have gotten away from it all.
There is a market in the front of the restaurant that carries everything from sandwiches and take away meals to wine, cheese and chocolate delights.
They have indoor and outdoor seating. You can’t go wrong with either choice. If you sit outdoors in the evening, you will be surrounded by trees with romantic white lights.
Indoors it is very charming and gives an aura of an Italian restaurant from yesteryear.
I typically order the eggplant parm which is always very hearty and oozing with mozzarella cheese just how I love it. This time I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken entrée and the Tuna Tartar as an appetizer. The fettuccine was tasty and very rich. The tartar didn’t taste bad, however it didn’t taste as fresh as the tuna I’ve had there in the past. I was a bit disappointed.
As far as drinks, the Margarita seemed like a great choice on the menu and so I tried it. It was tangy and really good.
The waitress was very sweet and attentive. She made sure she brought our drinks and food quickly and was always on hand for answering questions which is always appreciated.
If you are visiting the Brickell area and you want a great meal in a beautiful venue, this is the spot for you. It is also great for large parties.

The marketplace side is awesome, they have much to try and buy. I got a cannoli from there which was great, fresh made the right way. They have an abundance of candy truffles to try, they all look amazing. Got a few pieces I would suggest you do the same. A lot you could snack on there.
The restaurant is very romantic and is an awesome place to go eat at. It always nice to spend your money in a place with a nice atmosphere.
The food was okay, starters off with the baked brie which was too big for just two people. It’s literally a whole block of cheese, if we had a few more people this would have been the right amount to share. The bread they give you comes with a bruschetta type sauce, nice to get that and not have to order it. I got the lasagna for entrée, it was different than some I’ve had. Very saucy, like too much sauce and I love sauce. Didn’t seem to have enough noodles either, meat was good enough, and the sauce I mentioned was just alright. It was decent but not great. I would try this place again, they had a variety of other dishes that looked good.
Overall a great dining experience, this is a wonderful place to have a nice night out at and take some goodies home after.

What can I say, this place was awesome. It was my son’s high school graduation today and decided to take the family here for lunch. Let’s begin with the professionalism. I originally had reservations for 3 pm; however, graduation finished earlier than expected so we headed to the restaurant, told them about our existing reservation and we were seating in less than 20 minutes.
Our server was awesome, the food was awesome, the desserts were awesome. We had a slight issue that was promptly solved by both our server and manager! Kudos to both!
It just so happens that on Thursdays it is $ 10.00 past thursday (all day long). The pasta thursday menu is pretty good so you can’t go wrong.
Ali can say is that we will definitely be back!
Valet is $ 5.00 after your server stamps your valet ticket.
Awesome place. The atmosphere is casual yet the service is outstanding!
I don’t know what else to Say about Perricone’s, except is a must go to place!!!

Perricone est un très bon restaurant italien au coeur de Miami.
Le cadre est superbe, le restaurant est gigantesque si bien qu’on n’a pas besoin de réserver, même pour des énormes tables de 15 personnes comme nous.
Le choix est pléthorique si bien que vous trouverez le plat qui vous conviendra. Et malgré le vast choix, la qualité des plats est vraiment bonne avec des portions larges.
L’ambiance générale est très festive, on passé un excellent moment.
