MAMO Miami
7.9
This SoHo transplant brings generous truffle portions and refined Italian technique to Brickell's dining scene, with standout dishes like the cacio e pepe fried artichokes and truffle ravioli. The marble-accented dining room offers a chic setting where you can actually hold a conversation, though expect upscale pricing including marked-up bottled water.

What makes it special: SoHo import blending Italian tradition with French Riviera influences, known for generous truffle portions and a chic marble-accented dining room.
Who should go: Couples seeking a romantic, upscale Italian dinner.
When to visit: Sunday-Friday for the $60 four-course prix fixe menu.
What to order: Start with the cacio e pepe artichokes, split a truffle ravioli as your pasta course, then share the massive veal Milanese—it's meant for two.
Insider tip: Ask for patio seating for a quieter experience; inside music can make conversation difficult.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Convenient valet parking on-site ($8-10 for dinner)—very reasonable for Brickell
Dress code: Smart casual—jeans with a nice top work fine, think polished but comfortable for upscale Brickell
Noise level: Inside can get very noisy when full; request outdoor patio for easier conversation
Weekend wait: Book 1-2 weeks ahead for prime Friday/Saturday slots. 15-minute grace period if running late—call ahead.
Weekday lunch: Easier to get same-day reservations, but still book ahead to be safe
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Good selection—burrata, roasted vegetables, gnocchi, risotto, salads
Vegan options: Vegan options available—ask server for guidance on modifications. Risotto and fish dishes adaptable.
Gluten-free options: GF options available but pizza and pasta are NOT gluten-free. Stick to risotto, proteins, salads.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes - chic indoor-outdoor setting with an elegant, smart-casual atmosphere. The refined Italian menu and intimate ambiance create a sophisticated date environment. Request an early seating for quieter conversation; weekend evenings tend to be busier and livelier.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Reservations strongly recommended. Book up to 60 days in advance. Strict timing policies: 1.5 hours for 2-3 people, 2 hours for 4-5, 2.5 hours for 6+. They enforce a 15-minute grace period - arrive late and your table isn't guaranteed.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for older kids or teens. No dedicated kids menu - refined Italian dishes only. The elegant atmosphere and smart-casual dress code (no shorts, flip flops, or sportswear) make it less suited for young children. Call ahead for early seatings if bringing kids.
Is it good for groups? Yes for intimate groups - private events available for celebrations and corporate gatherings with custom menus. However, they don't accommodate very large parties. Contact the restaurant directly for private dining arrangements and specific party size limits.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes - features a chic indoor-outdoor setting and is dog-friendly. The outdoor area complements the elegant aesthetic of the restaurant and provides a pleasant al fresco dining option.
