Novecento @ San+O

While out with friends on Saturday night, we hoped to dine at a lively spot. Since we were already on South Beach, 900/​Santo seemed like the perfect option. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all that lively on Saturday night… perhaps due to the downpour. However, the food made up for the lack of bodies in the restaurant.
My friend and I had their Whole Wheat Pasta which was really good. It wasn’t very decadent as it tasted like a diet version of a really good pasta dish. But, for those of us attempting to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, it as perfect!
My other friend had the skirt steak which he really enjoyed. The service was great and I’m looking forward to going back. Hopefully, we won’t be the only people in the restaurant then!

After a long day on South Beach beach, this is a great place for lunch right before hitting all the shops on Lincoln Road.
Big menu, lots to choose from. I went with the Whole Wheat Pasta with alfredo sauce and chicken, it was incredible, best whole wheat pasta I’ve had! Definitely hit the spot.
The service was great, everyone is smiling and in a good mood, which is always a plus.

Located on the main strip of Lincoln Rd, this place is nice to just have a drink and people watch. Sangria here was pretty sweet the way I like it (minus the sugar at the bottom of the glass).
Chicken empanadas — chicken was moist and sauce was fairly good
Fish ceviche with fried plantain slices — fish was drowned in lime so it was a little sour but the plantain slices were fun to chew on
Seared tuna — kind of fishy, so I took a couple bites and stopped eating the tuna, but the mushrooms are pretty good
Quesadilla — pretty good
Whole wheat pasta with chicken — probably healthy, so I shouldn’t expect much but the pasta was a little dry and didn’t have any flavor to it while the chicken was also a little dry too…
Key lime pie — pretty good

Love this place! Only problem Saturday night slow service. Okay, so here goes. Had a dinner party for my friend who was getting married. We had a large group of about 14 girls. There is a space in the back that was just in front of the bar that accommodated us very nicely. The menu was an eclectic mix of what seemed to be Latin /​Asian /​Italian. The ceviche was EXCELLENT, very mild and not too garlicky it was served with tostones. The Sangria was also very fresh and the martini’s seemed to be a hit. Others enjoyed empanadas and gnocchi.
Around 11 or so the back room opens up to a really fun lounge type of club. They had a great DJ with a live band, carnival type dancers. WE could not have happened upon a better place to host a «bachelorette» party. I would go back again with friends or on a date.

I’ve already been to Novecento in SoHo, but the Miami version is even better! Located on vibrant and lively pedestrian only Lincoln Rd., hanging out in the outdoor table at Novecento was reminiscent of Las Ramblas, a fun place for people watching in a festive environment. It’s a good option for those looking for the relaxed and casual elegant European style restaurant with a bit of latin flair. The staffs are friendly and attentive, and the prices are pretty friendly too! Their menu is mostly Argentinean, and therefore you will find a variety of meat dish ranging from entrana con chimichurri, ojo de bife, hamburguesa, steak salad, etc. I’m not so keen on their fish, but their steak is pretty darn delicious! And for dessert, I recommend crepes with dulce de leche… Mmmmm yummy!!! Overall Novecento offers quality meal at reasonable prices, I highly recommend it for people like me who appreciate affordable and satisfying churrasco in a sizzling ambiance!

This restaurant provided a very nice dining experience. I went with a friend. We started with an app that consisted of empanadas, & various meats. With that we had the pear & gorgonzola salad with a side of jasmine rice. It was a ton of food & very good.
The only complaint I had was the sangria. Was way too sweet & luke warm.

Dear Novecento,
Playing hookie recently, I happened to have the opportunity to be on Lincoln Road for lunch. It was chilly out, so I appreciated being able to get out of the cold weather, and into a nice, warm restaurant.
We started with a glass of wine, but quickly moved to ordering our lunch. I was starving! Luckily, they served us tasty, warm rolls with butter while we waited.
I ordered the Milanga de Carne a Caballo, which is basically a breaded steak with 2 fried eggs on top. OMG, it was so delicious. Cooked to perfection, the eggs were a perfect touch and great addition to the otherwise a tad bland steak. I opted for mashed potatoes as a side and was not disappointed. They were soft and fluffy, with a nice buttery-​garlic flavor. NO complaints whatsoever.
My better half ordered a Quesedilla grilled chicken, Monterrey cheese, sour cream, guacamole and «pico de gallo». I have to say this was probably one of the best Quesedilla’s I’ve ever had anywhere.
I noticed that the general service was really on point. It didn’t matter who the server was, if they walked by our table, they were asking if we needed anything, refilling the water glasses, etc. I was pretty impressed that all of the employees took ownership. That’s so important in the service industry.
A great lunch experience for an impromptu day off. Thanks Novecento! Looking forward to returning for dinner.
All the best,

Went for dinner 11÷15÷09. Didn’t start too well when we had to ask where hostess was. After that, service was very attentive. All food was very good, but several things a little heavy on the salt. Overall good experience. Anxious to try location on Brickell. Have heard it’s better.

Maybe my 5 stars will even out the 2 from the last review (sorry, Katia) =P
I came here Saturday for happy hour, and our server was fantastic. He didn’t speak much English, but he was always at our table ready to refill our waters and $ 6 mojitos. 5 stars for you, broski.
Our group decided to come here for dinner that same night… I wasn’t gonna complain. I was about to do the Miami Spice menu, but decided to switch it up since I’d BEEN doing that all week — and went for the rib-​eye. AHHH… talk about steak that melts in your flippin mouth! That’s the steak I’ve been searching for the last 29 years of my life. My friends at the table couldn’t stop picking at it. Normally I’d get territorial and start cutting folks getting near my beef (HAH!), but this steak was freakin huge. And it was only $ 27! WHAT??? I know!!!

The Miami Spice lunch menu was not good at all. Ceviche was dry, the Mahi Mahi, was okay and the desert seems store bought. It seemed like the food was stored and microwaved before serving. Sorry, guys but you can do better.
