Le Tartine Di Teresa

I wish I could give this place a negative amount of stars. Straight and to the point: 2 dishes we initially went for they didn’t have available, the food not only came out lukewarm but also not how we ordered. After waiting an hour and half, I figured the food would be better and the customer service would at least be decent. Also, approaching the table in English, not Spanish would be the correct way to run a restaurant. The violinist would be nice if the restaurant wasn’t the size of a closet. Overly priced and when asked to speak to the manager I was informed he only speaks Spanish or Italian. Save yourself the time!!!

Been to this restaurant 5 times before making my review. Let’s start with the most important (The Food), 5 stars in all of my visits. The Service, very professional at all times. The Music on Friday and Saturday is so good. I would give this place 10 stars.

Was disappointed. Service was very slow, they didn’t have two of the dishes we wanted and they had a violinist that took over the small place. The Manager never came over. We were told he didn’t speak English.

I love this quaint restaurant in miracle mile. The service is outstanding, almost feels like family. The food extremely authentic and good quality ingredients. I am obsessed with the burrata mozzarella salad, the risotto and the coffee took me back to Italy!

This place was pleasant despite a few things that it lacked. I would say that these should be considered more constructive feedback for the owner than criticism. Overall, the place is super cute and romantic with good food and nice staff. We were seated right away with our reservation. However, I would look into the following comments:
First, the night we went there was a violinist who was more in the way than anything. I felt bad but the place is so tiny and he was standing right at the entrance and would occasionally walk around the one strip of space the waiters had to walk to tend their tables. Also, I am the type of person that really prefers not to be sung or played music to (I know how it sounds but I like to eat in peace).
Second, the food is slightly over priced. We requested no prosciutto with our buffala mozzarella since we don’t eat meat on Lent Friday and the manager only deducted $ 2 from the $ 16 plate. I felt that was not a reasonable discount but wasn’t up for arguing that night.
Third, the food to WAYYYYY TOO LONG. Seriously, I ordered a soup (which is probably made already) and my husband a risotto. We waited about 45mins. Luckily we had some wine to keep us entertained.
Again, it’s a cute place but it has a few quirks to work out, especially the timing of the food. Still had a nice meal in the end.

I was surprised when I found out that the staff at this place is all Cuban, or so I was told. I usually frown on Italian that doesn’t from from an Italian or Argentinian chef but this was a pleasant surprise. The food here in my opinion was very good to excellent. I would rate it at least 4 out of 5 on a food scale. The place is tidy, upscale looking and romantic. it’s relatively small but that adds to the charm. I had the vegetarian selection (eggplant) and the caprese salad and I was not disappointed. Service the day I went was great but at the end a small blemish for a somewhat long delay in getting the bill. The bread basket was incredible, I really enjoyed it and the ice tea was also very good. For me this was much better than other Italian options around the area. I feel the prices are in line with the food quality and the fact that they are open for lunch on Sunday is a nice touch. Check it out, I’m sure you will want to return.

We lucked out, first by finding a parking spot right in front on a Friday night and secondly by being invited in by a lovely woman named Nadia who also became our server.
Service could not be more attentive with several staff making sure that our water glasses were full, that we had the best bread we have had in some time and of course fresh Parmesan cheese.
I had the lasagne which was recommended by Nadia. The portion was sufficient for lunch tomorrow as well. My bride had the tortellini with veal butter and sage. No take home as it was inhaled and enjoyed.
Teresa stopped by to see how everything was.
Dessert, which I made room for is a tiramisu made at the table. Teresa gingerly layered the lady fingers sauce and fresh whipped cream.
My lemon cella was as much the crowning point as the cinnamon on the tiramisu.
We will be back and not only to see Nadia’s smile.

Excellent pasta & great service. Live cello player and great ambiance! We will definitely be back!

The place is very cute, the staff is very accommodating and the service is good
But please don’t assume we’re all Hispanic when coming into your place the correct way to do it is to first approach in English and then make a decision from there, it also takes away from the Italian theme the fact that everyone is Cuban, from the chef to the waiters, waitresses and hostesses, I will advise to hide behind the English language at least to make us think is an authentic Italian place.
Another turn off is to served soft drinks on a can to the table, please don’t do that unless you are a casual place which this is not
The food was good and the prices are reasonable

Very sad to see the investment and the beautiful place but with cero service. 90 mins for a Burrata and a plate of Ravioli. Sad because as many others on the mile, it will close and become another statistic. Teresa, spend more time training employees, you have a beautiful restaurant but you will learn that when the Snow Birds leave from The Palace, youll be competing with Cibo and Abbracci… Wish you luck …

The restaurant is very promising, the food good but the service was slow. They need to train the employees and focus on the clients. Very sad that so much was spent on the location and so little has been focused on the staff. The owner was not friendly. The place needs customer service training. Coral Gables is highly competitive and you can only make it if you have great food and amazing service with reasonable prices. I hope they read reviews and that they focus on the experience.

Le Tartine Di Teresa
We hadn’t had tartine since last time we were in Italy, so we had to try it. Tartine (plural of tartina) are basically slices of bread, cut in a round topped with different ingredients.
It’s not a fancy food in Italy, it’s your typical trattoria appetizer; however today there are places who focused on making tartine with many ingredients accompanied, of course, by wine.
I imagine this was an idea the French had first back in the day, because «Tartine» is a French word and it means «small torte».
This place is located on the Miracle Mile, but it’s small and you may passed it by without noticing. Inside, it is surprisingly roomier than expected and the owners really did a nice job with the décor and created an ambiance typical of some Italian eateries. The red color on the wall invites to food and wine, white tablecloths add an elegant touch.
We of course tried a few tartine; they are all good, made on the spot in front of you, so just pick the ingredients you like. We were happy to wash them down with a white wine from the region we come from in the North-​East of Italy (Pinot Grigio Colli Orientali del Friuli).
Their menu however offers more than tartine, and dishes seemed pretty good, although we hadn’t tried them as we were already satisfied after a few tartine.
We had a nice time, talking with Anet, while she was making the tartine (Teresa instead cooks in the kitchen) and we learnt a little about her story, while exchanging memories and experiences from Italy.
It’s a family run place, small, well thought and well cared for. Hopefully they will stay in business, and we will be back to try some of the entrees.
I am glad we found this small place. Be careful walking in, I went in the French place nearby by mistake…

Wine list very limited and not very good. The food really wasn’t that good. Chef was walking around restaurant with so few tables but didn’t come and greet us. There were not many vegetarian options and the food eggplant parm was subpar. Sorry wouldn’t go back

This Italian restaurant is awesome and it has an atmosphere where you feel great, the flavors of the food are divine.
The food the excellent Italian wines and the warm welcome make this a wonderful place to eat
Teresa who is the chef and the owner at the time is a great hostess.
The service of the whole team is excellent.
My wife and I go at least once a week and we feel at home.
I would always recommend this place!

Ok! I’m obsessed with this place. It is BEAUTIFULLY decorated. I felt as though I was in a different city in a different time altogether. The ambience transport you to this place that feels like home. The service was impeccable. Everyone was so welcoming and sweet. Nadia is so charismatic and helpful. My friend and I had the opportunity to meet Teresa who is an absolute sweetheart.
We had a wine bottle which was part of their happy hour promotion. 50% 4:30−7pm everyday and we had a meat and cheese platter. Everything was fantastic. The music was beautiful. I cannot rave about this place enough. You must try it. I will certainly be back as I’d love to try their dinner options. So happy we came here!
Even the bathroom was perfect.

We have walked by here a couple of times in the past month and have wanted to try it and finally got our chance this past Friday. The. Place is small and quiet which is what we like. There is Plenty of room around the tables and not loud talking or music playing. The music they did have playing was nice. Everything we had was excellent including the meat tray as an appetizer that our hostess recommended. I had the homemade lasagna and it was cooked perfectly and very hot. Our waitress was very helpful in recommending dishes, maybe too helpful, but that is ok. The recommendation of the pumpkin ravioli was a good suggestion for my wife.
The second glass of wine which was poured at no cost was very nice. Good food and perks like the free wine is how you get people to come back which we will. There are many good choices in Coral Gables and it is nice to have another.

This restaurant is a little piece of Italy in Miami.
The chef Teresa is very friendly and is extremely happy to talk to you about her food. You get the felling that she love to cook and that love is transcribe to great tasting meals.
Come by and taste the Risotto al Funghi Porcini.

este restaurant es un lugar encantador desde el buen trato de sus camareros hasta la exelente comida genuina italiana., sana y muy bien hecha asi como el ambiente agradabilisimo y familiar ya volveremos

Delicious authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Coral Gables. The ravioli con fungi is not to be missed. The ambiance is delightful and very homey.

A new divine Italian nook to eat Delilah food. It’s a tiny place with big taste of authentic Italian food. I went for the grand opening. The spread was divine. The meat lasagne was superb squash purée and pasta is tender.

Waitstaff was a bit lost and the tartines were probably the best part of the meal especially the gorgonzola and walnut one but not particularly memorable. The pastas (lasagna and bolgnese) were subpar given the price and the fact that fratellino is a few blocks away and delivers quality all the time or that the bugatti lasagna is amazing. I wish it would’ve been better but I can’t give it a better review when we spent close to $ 70 and they had scented candles at the table.
