Sfizio

Came here looking for a place with food, drinks, and hookah where my boyfriend and I could watch the game and we got all this and more. If we didn’t live in NY we would definitely come back here but maybe next year. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The lobster fettuccini Alfredo and the spaghetti and meatballs were amazing. The lemon pepper wings we had for an appetizer were also amazing and it came with 10pcs. We also had their Long Island iced tea which was strong and made well. The hookah can’t compare to New York but it’s pretty good with unlimited coal changes.

So we have to talk about the Mac and cheese they serve here. It is spectacular, cheesy and seasoned with a nice crust on top. The chicken and waffles are good too chicken nicely seasoned and the waffle is okay, nothing spectacular. Great for brunch.

Very good Italian food. Great atmosphere and very nice staff. I would definitely go back.

The service was ridiculously slow. It took exactly 30 mins to even get a menu and to have the waitress AND bartender come out the back, even though it wasn’t busy and the place wasn’t big. Then to get drinks, food and hookah it took another 30 minutes. The drinks should take like 2 minutes, but nope, it doesn’t. I would have ordered more if everything didn’t take so freaking long. The food was not good at all. The Mac and cheese was hard and stale tasting. The wings were little and bland. The hip hop music was the only thing going for this place. And «recommended tip» is mandatory I guess. She didn’t deserve 18% for hiding in the back for so long, but whatever. Miami.

This is one of the best meals I’ve had in years. Stuffed lobster tail and basil smashed potatoes. FANTASTIC.
Thank you Sfizio.

I happened to walk past this place on New Year’s Eve and wanted to try it. We ended up going the next evening. The concept is unique in that you can eat home cooked Italian food and smoke a hookah along with alcohol. We just came for the food as neither of us enjoy hookahs.
It is a very small and intimate space. They play loud music as well. We started with a margarita pizza. It was the perfect size to start off with. My husband loved the fact that it wasn’t cut in slices. He told me that’s how they do it in Italy. The pizza was just OK. There was a lot of cheese but, the pizza overall lacked flavor. I had the chicken parmigiana for my entrée and my husband had the Amatriciana. The chicken parmigiana was huge as was the side of pasta that came with it. The chicken was cooked nicely and it wasn’t breaded too much which I liked. The sauce was fresh and flavorful. The pasta was firm to the tooth. My husband said that his Amatriciana was just OK. He also told me that it was definitely not authentic.
We met and spoke with the owner Laura. She is a very sweet gal and you can tell that she takes pride in her business. She knew everything that was going on at all times.
If you’re looking for a good meal with reasonable prices in South Beach this is your spot. We will definitely be back. They also offer happy hour specials here. Thanks for the hospitality Laura!

Amazing and authentic food! Best Italian meal we have had in town! Not to mention the drinks, mixed to perfection and the flavorful hookahs. Great service and very cool atmosphere! Definitely recommend this resturant to anyone and everyone looking for a hidden gem. Convenient location near the beach and shopping! We will definitely be back before we leave town.

This restaurant was the perfect spot for a chill night with true friends. The lemon pepper wings were amazing and everything was handmade. We went on a Wednesday night to smoke hookah and eat wings. The owner was really friendly and the drinks were awesome. This is a must visit spot on South Beach!

We had a great time in Sfizio. The owners are awesome! Very friendly and down to earth. The music choice of R&B fits perfectly when smoking the hookah and having drinks. We will be returning when visiting Miami again.

I had the chicken and waffles and they were delicious. The owner Laura is amazing and very passionate about Italian food and culture. If you’re on South Beach and want some homemade food and amazing R&B music I would highly recommend this place!

Came in around 4pm today to try it out because I kept walking past it all week… So glad I did… It’s a cozy place with an amazing Dj so I was already happy about that, and it happened to wing Wednesday 50 cent wings. Felt as if luck was on side with this choice… Had the ravioloni with breaded chicken in Alfredo sauce and it was decadent the ricotta cheese was so rich as if it was made on sight and everything else was just a blessing for my palette

It’s been over a year and I still love this place, and have yet to get bored with their food. They continuously keep their menu up to date with delicious entrees, and specials. I love the ambience and music, even as I’m writing this review, they’re playing some of my old school jams…

We found this gem while on a visit to Miami and the food was amazing! Red Velvet Chicken & Waffles is the best thing is absolutely delicious!!! We would definitely come back! Plus the delivery worked out well through the Unilocal App.

AWFUL SERVICE AND AMBIANCE!!! I do not recommend this place to any — especially for dinner. My girlfriend looked up this place and fell in love with the «Fried Lasagna» pictures online. I cannot, and will not, write a review about the quality of the food because we didn’t even get to taste the water — however, the service will definitely be criticized.
When we arrived the music was blasting like if it was a club, mind you it was only 7PM. I could not even have a decent conversation with my girlfriend. Furthermore, when we arrived we had to wait roughly 5 mins for anyone at the restaurant to acknowledge us, and when we were acknowledged the hostess/​waitress moved us to another table, then took another 5 mins to get us «water» — water is in quotes because the cups were not even filled with water they were empty cups. Afterwards, my girlfriend and I did something that we have only done ONCE — we just got up and left the restaurant.
I DO NOT recommend this place for dinner to anyone… They really need to get their customers to feel welcomed. First impressions go a long way. Will NEVER come back to this restaurant — not even takeout… Btw only has one star because it does not give me the option to give this place half a star.

Nice Italian spot. Great customer service! If you want a quaint little spot with a variety of food this is the place. Chicken and waffles are amazing.

Came here memorial weekend ordered shrimp Alfredo, it was really good the shrimp was nice & big the noodles were cooked just right service was good, the good came fast

So me and the wife came down to Miami to indulge in the nightlife and unleash our inner foodie. Well this place doesn’t disappoint! Don’t let the size of the restaurant fool you either they are growers not show-​ers lol. The service was slightly slow considering one person was working the front and the tables but the food was sent from a higher power! The portions were pretty good too. The price was fairly reasonable for two plates at about 45 bucks. What really sold me on this place was the music. As a music junkie I felt at home.

I liked the restaurant for the staff, the clean, sophisticated space, and the variety on the menu. I mean an Italian restaurant offering chicken and waffles! The Bruschetta al pomodoro was a nice appetizer, but the chicken Parmesan would have been better if the sauce had a bit more flavor. Not bad though.

Very very good whole in the wall Italian resteraunt. Stopped in late night dinner and had a fabulous chicken paramasean. A+

The good was great. The customer service was great. If I lived In Miami this would be a top spot for me me
