Toscana Divino

Amazing food experience !! I’m Italian and I was looking for a REAL Italian restaurant in town. I found it !!! My place for a great dinner with my wife and with friends !!! Friday night they have Dj set plus special for oyster and bubbles … So much fun. Mauro the owner is great and very nice person to speak with/​he is coming from bassano del grappa and I come from there too… I feel at home when dining there !!! Enjoy … Salute !!! Ciaoooo

I definite had better Italian. Cauliflower side was excellent the spaghetti mediocre. Bread was good for a side.

I do know both the ownership and the 2 great chefs… they make things right!
the location is fancy and this makes prices a bit high but it is perfect for both a date or a business dinner/​lunch!
their dessert with gelato are amazing!
great job guys!

Probably the worse Italian food I’ve ever had … Service slow food slow all and all a horrible experience.

Although I’ve had excellent lunches here, this review is specifically for the «Thanksgiving to go» meal offered by TD. The price was very reasonable, and all of the food was delicious, particularly the stuffing and pumpkin pie (complete with whipped cream). My only complaint was that we were given a disappointingly small amount of gravy and cranberry sauce, but TD was very apologetic, and even credited my purchase a reasonable amount. (Luckily, it wasn’t difficult to make extra gravy from the turkey drippings!)

Delicious food, great service. The bartender was very friendly, very knowledgeable of the menu and super skilled. He improvised a passion fruit spicy cocktail so yummy and hot! The gnoqui and linguine vongole were so good that I’ll be Back Over and over again for for more. Props to the chef, and specially the manager for having such great staff

NPS = 5
A bit overpriced for the food and ran out of the special we were particularly interested in for the evening.
I get it. It’s Mary Brickell Village and the rent is expensive. But man… these guys really love the margins. Talk about squeezing.
We went for the $ 1 oyster specials. Unfortunately, they had run out of them for the evening but we decided to stay for dinner anyway.
The food was good, but the place was a rather madhouse with music BLASTING. Note: do not go to this place if you are expecting a romantic dinner. The ambiance will teleport you back to a Miami reality full of 50 year-​olds having a great time jamming to Gloria Estefan classics.
Another thing that ticked me off a bit was that we were promised $ 8 appetizers and instead had to pay the full price. I even asked the waiter if there were any other specials and the waiter said, «No.»
Wish the would have been better informed of the specials for the night.
Sigh…anyway…it was a bit of a disappointment.

Gave this more stars than I would have since the location, atmosphere, and service was great. Food was delicious as well but the portions were so small that I came home and had dinner again. I’m not a big eater. I usually go home with leftovers. This is an Italian restaurant with French size portions.

I had dinner with a couple of buddies here last weekend and was very pleased. I had the Squid ink pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the seafood was very flavorful. The highlight of the night was the service we received. Our waiter was very tentative and provided so many great recommendations.

A group of us from my Master’s program (15 – 20 people) were able to arrange a package with the restaurant that was affordable for everyone.
The fact that the restaurant was able to cater to our needs as a group and give us fair pricing was remarkable for me, and I wanted to tell them Many Thanks!
We had unlimited wine tasting, unlimited appetizers and then delicious risotto and pasta. Miguel was the wine expert who explained to us the different kinds of wine and from where they came from. You were able to try the red wine and the white wine.
The ambiance was great, it is located in Mary Brickell Village. Everyone was able to catch up and enjoy a wonderful evening thanks to the great staff from Toscana Divino.
I cannot to come back and have a proper meal. But if it was anything like the other night you’ve won me over!

So glad we have an authentic Tuscan restaurant in our hood.
Toscana Divino is always a great time and great meal.
Went with my sister Wednesday and dinner was perfect.
We ate light. She ordered the roast chicken and I have to say it was really good. Chicken is not something I would order but I am glad she did. Moist and the veg were divine.
I had the risotto with mushrooms and spring onions.
So creamy. Fantastic flavor. How did they do that?
We shared tirami su for dessert. I will let the picture speak for itself.
Alessandro was attentive and spot on. Davide was best busser. And of course Mauro was charming as ever.
I recommend this place for business or romance. I was there twice last week so you know we love it.

I came here for lunch with Miami spice, and left disappointed.
The atmosphere and music of the restaurant was nice and romantic.
My hb starter‘s was so tiny that I felt ridiculous (tagliere), just a small rubbery bread with a few pieces of ham on the top. My starter was not bad (Panzarella salad) but most of the salad was bread croutons, and the vinegar was too strong.
The main courses were good, black maccheroni and fish stew (cacciucco), but the mussels on the stew were not fresh and they tasted and smelles too strong.
Both desserts had some alcohol in there, which I think is not good since some people might dislike or be unable to drink alcohol! The cantucci + vin sant were 3 tiny cookies and sweet wine, and the other dessert was a cup with a foam made with limoncello (liquor), fruits and milk.
Overall, not the place to come with Miami spice since the portions they serve are too tiny for that price. Is not worth it!

This place is well located in Brickell… Nice ambiance and has inside and outside seating. Managers and service was above average. Food, they really know what they are doing! Last night we had a new «plate» pisi with lamb. Maybe the best I’ve had in US! Well balanced, homemade pasta. We also had duck that was also cooked to perfection. All in all this place is a must for anyone wanting to eat true Italian food. Their wine cellar is pretty good and their wine glasses are also quite nice! (Dont have to bring my own glasses!!).
Try this one… Enjoy

You would love this place if you really appreciate authentic Italian food.
Miami spice lunch critique…
Appetizer: Tagliere Toscano (prosciutto w/​house made ricotta crostini) was delicious.
Chianti crudo could have had more lemon.
Entrée: House made pappardelle w/​white pork was delicious. My friend loved her Cacciucco, but I don’t like mussels so I didn’t order.
Dessert: Zuppa Inglese in Alkermes was fantastic! Burst of sweet flavors in your mouth, which included, limoncello, amaretto, and berries.

Enjoyed a happy hour at this trendy Italian gem with a few regulars. Kicked off HH with an excellent variation of an Old Fashion. Such a delicious drink. A bit of sweet meets a bit of that ‘Jack’ hardness. Perfect. The nibs were spot on with the Truffle Ricotta, with Honey, Pepper and tasty crispy toast… couldnt stop eating the ricotta or any of the other bread lying around. It was that delicious! Also tried the Crispy Porchetta (Pork Belly) with Red Onion, Radish, Lemon
Parmigiano, and Micro Herbs. The presentation was phenomenal. I loved the crispy-​ness of the pork belly although it was a bit too fatty for me to fully enjoy. Would totally return to this spot and the trendy Brickell neighborhood.

We ended up at Toscana Divino, because the reservation we had elsewhere was not honored. I was born in Italy and hate Italian restaurants because they are never the real thing so I avoid them, but we took a look at the menu and seemed very close to the original.
The bread was excellent and the rest of the food tasted good too. So why a one-​star review?
Because we spent $ 126 before tip and we left hungry! My husband $ 23 past dish was only 5 small ravioli and my octopus salad was a joke: I stuck my fork in it and all came up at once. And the octopus? Just a couple of slivers to justify the name. The place is nice and the service good, although slow, but Toscana Divino is a rip off.

Great service, good happy hour, and delicious pasta!
The bartenders are friendly and professional. Yuri and Douglas will really make the experience even better with their charisma and excellent customer service.
Food is delicious. so far the sliders, the pizzetta and the duck ragu pasta are my favorites. Prices are average to the Brickell area. The bar area is fun and the restaurant inside is very nice and modern. The outside seating can be romantic at night with candle light and the water fountain near by. Everyone here is s friendly and nicely dressed.
Definitely a place to try if you are in the village.

Okay so I went to Toscana Divino the other night I believe it was a wednesday night with a friend. I had heard a lot of good things from friends and some italian friends that I know. So I planned out a night with a friend and we wanted to have a full experience and check out this place.
First, Location is great in Mary Brickell village there are tons of places to park and lots of shops to check out. We parked in the Garage behind the restaurant. The restaurant had a couple tables outside and bigger space inside. Very well Lit and very comfortable seating.
We wanted to have some cocktails before we sat so we took a seat at the bar and Douglas was the bartender at the time. He really knows his drinks and puts care into them as I watched. Nicest bartender I think I’ve been served by. We asked him for a signature cocktail and told him to surprise us. He made us a tequila based– cocktail that had lime juice and jalapeño in it. I’ve never had a spicy drink and oh BOY! was it good. The he gave us a passion fruit cocktail (brazilian leblon rum, passion fruit purée, and peperonccino on top) DELICIOUS!
While we sat at the bar we munched on green olives and fresh bread which was super yummy!
First we had what is called «spiedino di carne e verdure» which was to die for. (seen in the images) We were having such a good time at the bar that we just stayed there and had dinner.
Chef Billy was in the kitchen and he did not dissappoint. We first had Maccheroncino di mare. It was delicious it had calamari, octopus, i think scallops I usually don’t like seafood in pasta but the taste was almost overwhelming! I will probably have that again! Then, We also tried the Pallard de Manzo which was topped with vegetables and crispy friend kale which was fun to eat. My friend and I shared everything and we we satisfied.
My expectations were high and they surpassed them. The manager at the time was Gianina and she was very nice and helpful! The staff was fun too! the Wine cellar in the middle is so kool! I’m a photographer so I took the liberty and took some pictures. They didn’t mind. I also found out from the manager that they reserve semi-​private room named Florence which is a good idea for events!
GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Good vibe @Mary Brickell Village and was packed on a Friday night. Happy hours are limited just to the inside bar area, while outdoor dining is very nice.
I only got to try small side dishes this time. Brussel Sprouts and Baby Vegetables were very good. Bellini is advertised as with fresh peach purée but it’s actually a canned peach purée. Strawberry purée though is the real fresh purée. Great place to hang out.,

My friend and I went here for dinner earlier last week, as our pre-​race meal (before the Miami Marathon & Half Marathon). We had made reservations, and were promptly shown to our table by the friendly hostess as soon as we arrived.
The waitstaff too, were very friendly and generally chatty. To start, we ordered a portion of the calamari. The calamari was very different that we expected, and very fresh. A bit too «fishy» for me, but that’s just my taste.
As my entre, I had the pasta with the braised beef ragou. The entrees when they arrive, seem like they are very small portions. However, when you’re done with them, it leaves you with that perfectly full feeling. not too tfull, and not hungry. just right! I forgot what pasta dish my friend ordered, but I remember him saying he liked it too :)
For dessert, I had the chocolate crusted tart, which was really fantastic! Overall, although this restaurant appears like a fancy tourist trap in the middle of Mary Brickell Village, it really is a really good restaurant.
I definitely recommend it!
You should check it out!
