Mia Bella Roma

My family and I just had a delicious dinner at this romantic Italian restaurant on Ocean Drive.
My husband enjoyed a mushroom pizza and I had the Cold Seafood Platter what was very tasty.
We will definitely will dine there again.

I wish I could give zero stars. We used to visit often, but this last time was horrendous and we won’t ever go back. After we spoke with the manager, she said then don’t come back. Next time I’ll take my business elsewhere. I get that all the restaurants on Collins are tourist traps, but this one is especially horrible. Drink specials aren’t really drink specials at all! They are liars and scam artists. They charged $ 45 for one drink! What a joke. Food was okay. Nothing special at all. Don’t waste your time or money. Really not worth it.

Kill me…
Do not go here. You will be set up with something.
This restaurant really set the low point to my vacation here in Miami. The server did not explain the content of the menu and seem to care nothing about my concern once our order came in.
We stopped for a quick drink to refuel our soul and keep enjoying South Beach and they brought us this two huge and ridiculous drinks with florecen straws. Something you will expect in a spring break situation and the price is not advertise for the drinks of course. They were $ 25 dollar each, meaning $ 50 dollars for a piña colada and a rum and coke. On top of that the drinks were water down and had no particular flavor you could enjoy.
We complain to the manager and all she offered was for us to pay just for one drink for drinks that we do not wanted. We pay $ 25 and tried them, plus they dare to add 18% gratuity and our server only came once and fixed nothing, they were so bad that we ended up leaving.

Hey, guys, never go here. Don’t stop by. The hostess promised get one get one free for us and free shots. We didn’t have free shots, we got double charged for drinks. It’s not my first time in Miami, so all what they was saying was bullshit. Go and enjoy your evening in other places.

It was a great dinner whit the dans show and the best food fettuccini Alfredo Steak
And specially our server aykut was excellent very friendly thank you for a great night

We visited south beach after a week stay in St Lucia for our honeymoon. As we walked on strip Mia Bella Roma caught our attention. We were told they had a 2 for 1drink special (it was lunch hour and many of the restaurants had happy hour going on) so we ordered 2 drinks (which turned out to be $ 25 each) and ordered the Grilled seafood chef special. The menus had no prices but we figured it would be Lil bit pricey since it is south beach but OMG!, when our food came I told waitress that the plate was huge and didn’t look like photo but she said it was due to no plate décor which was a pineapple top and that’s why it seemed larger? I truly would NOT order 3 LOBSTER TAILS for LUNCH it also included 2 fish fillets, 1lb of King crab, 8 Jumbo prawns and rice? Please avoid this place they are VERY misleading clearly terrible customer service! bill turned out to be $ 326.39!!! BEWARE

I felt this one needed a review. Came in cuz of the entertainment. Drink prices not posted on menu so be sure to ask. Ordered two drinks: mojito & corona. Both came in 36oz glass containers & $ 25 & $ 20, respectively. The mojito was nothing to die for. And, we, party of 3, weren’t impressed with service. Asked for check & 18% gratuity automatically added. I guess this kind of tweaks you as a consumer. I normally give a place more than one chance but this is different in that I don’t want to pay $ 57.15 for two drinks.

A great location but the food and environment were lacking. First the food and drinks are VERY expensive– $ 20 for a stein of beer and $ 25 for a margarita. A bill for 2 people with 2 entrees and 2 drinks was $ 130. The lobster ravioli was very good but the seafood linguine was mediocre at best with over-​cooked, tough seafood and malodorous mussels. As for the atmosphere, it was very uncomfortable as they do not utilize misting fans like most other outdoor restaurants on ocean drive. Service was average.

Terrible service.
I just had lunch there with my wife.
The waitress forgot /​ignored us completely.
Probably because we chose an item from the lunch menu.
Gratuity was 18% already charged beforehand.
If I were to choose it would be 10% maximum.
Should have checked Unilocal before stopping by.

Biggest crook in Miami! Do NOT even think about stopping here!
Be careful about chef’s special surf & turf, they’re charging $ 300 with no price on the menu.

Food is mediocre for the price we paid! Pasta side ok. Salad so-​so.
Be careful with the Chef Specials that they offer. They look very nice in the picture but beware of the prices! The Seafood Platter is $ 164.00!!!
Not to mention the fact that the valet parking is $ 25.00!
I strongly dont recommend this restaurant. Miami is a very metropolitan and diverse city in which you can choose much more better restaurants at a more affordable price. Specially in seafood.

This was another stop on my Miami Sunday day long date. Needless to say this stop was not planned and it was a grave mistake on our part.
We just wanted to grab a quick cocktail before heading over to brunch at Federal Food Drink & Provisions (See my review of that place too!) and the oversized drinks the restaurants have on Sundays seemed like just the right move.
Service: D–
I really hate to say this but our waitress didn’t speak English well enough. We attempted to order a Kettle One Bloody Mary but she couldn’t understand even when we tried to make it simple for her to ask a colleague. We settled for Grey Goose because that was all she knew.
She wasn’t particularly attentive and we saw the busser and another server more than we saw her. Unfortunately, when we asked those folks for help they also seemed to suffer language barrier issues and attitude problems.
Drinks: F
The Pineapple Margarita and «Grey Goose» Bloody Mary were pretty atrocious. As a bartender I’m forgiving but this was unforgivable. The margarita was somewhat salvageable with a handful of limes squeezed in and an additional shot of Patron ordered. The bloody mary was NOT Grey Goose even though they upcharged us for it. An additional shot of Goose, pepper and limes couldn’t save it. Neither drink was finished.
The bill for these 4 items was over $ 80.
All I can say is this place will screw you like clearance, self-​assembly ikea furniture.
^Pardon my lame analogy I’m not as witty as I’d like to be this morning, but I cannot stress enough DON’T BOTHER.

Mediocre at best!!!
Would never return. Over priced the Alfredo was thee worst paste I’ve ever tasted! Will never return and my friend ordered meatballs… Gross
Too bad the entertainment was not on a plate they were the best thing ever and the service was good but the food was GROSS

Go elsewhere
Go elsewhere
Actually go to Miami subs grill
And get a gyro platter
If you like rude and hustling and want to back hand the host come here.
Food is bogus no flavor and the fish is not fresh
Clams were only thing I will give a star for but leaving upset and hungry isn’t cool especially paying the price we payed but hey it’s Miami F THIS PLACE go eat elsewhere

So gross! Don’t waste your money. The seafood was so fishy and the service took forever. It was $ 109 for sparkling water, crab legs, and a caprese salad. The biggest waste of money on food I have ever spent not to mention almost instantaneously getting sick.

We had beef carpaccio for an appetizer and the portion was really small and did not have a good flavor.
We ordered two bloody mary’s and they were pretty big but was very bland. We had to ask for olives, horseradish, and tabasco to give it some flavor.
When we got the bill it was $ 50.00 for two bloody mary’s and they added 18% gratuity! Will never go back! There are much better restaurants near by!

Food was decent, ambiance great for people watching.
They are crooks, they pretend food is cheap but their drinks are ridiculous. They say two free glasses of wine. So I assume can i substitute for beer instead? I asked but I don’t think they understood english. No. $ 8×2 for beer? I didn’t complain but I thought that was …
Do not double tip. They do that a lot in miami. But i guess c’est la vie. I don’t think i had a waiter??? I don’t usually fuss over $$ but i just wanted to have a fast lunch before a nice dinner. $ 60 was a lot for quesadilla, salad and 2 beer.

Dunno how this place has 2.5 stars. The drinks are great! The service was of Rock Star quality (definitely if you had Mohamed). The carpaccio & reggiano were perfect. The caprese was fantastic & the crab legs we steamed to perfection. We loved this place the most of all the restaurants on Ocean Dr. we visited. The band & belly dancer were excellent too.

Avoid!
The food is overpriced for what it is.
The waiter had charged his tip surrealist to the bill.
Make sure you don’t pay to much.
Won’t see me again! Fact!

There are a million places to dine on ocean drive. Half are probably Italian. Having said that — Mia Bella Roma is outstanding. We used a groupon on a whim and they came through. Fish gnocchi and chocolate cake for desert and life was great! Sidewalk people watching is always fun too. Try it and love it.

Extrem laute, spanische Musik. Unterhaltung nicht möglich. Langsame Bedienung, lange Wartezeit. Unmotivierter Kellner, welcher die Bestellung falsch aufgenommen hat.
Essen war aber gut, Portionen okee.

Tolle spanische Flamencomusik! Gelangweilte Kellner ohne Motivation, wackelnde Tische. Risotto mit drei Pilzsorten wurde bestellt. Erhalten habe ich Basmatireis mit allem was in der Küche nicht in den Eimer gefallen war.
Preise sind frech für dieses Essen.

The service was rude and not honnest. Our waitress lured us to take cocktails with a special price: 2 for 1 at 15 $ (which is already expensive for the new yorker I am). So my mother and I asked for a cocktail. Then at the end of our meal she told us in a rude manner «are you ready for our second cocktail?» Indeed the offer was 2 for 1 Per Person ! Never did she never told us before. We were very disappointed but we really wanted to enjoy our dinner so we stayed calm and cool.
But then, when we got the check, she was terribly rude when we gently asked her to modify it and put the previously announced (with a coupon given by a man from the staff), it was promising 20% discount on menu entrees. She accused us plenty of times of «not understanding english» because we were not american. She did not want to modify the Check. I assume that the place is familiar to this bad service, but it was the first time after hundreds of restaurants in the USA that I have a such rude and crappy service. I am a very calm and friendly person but I eventually had to argue with her and tell her about her behaviour. And as we expected in such a bad place, 18% tip was already added to the check. However food is not bad but not wonderfull, drinks are ok but we didn’t feel the alcohol. If you are tourist, retired people or foreigners, avoid this place!
