PASTA
8.1
A husband-and-wife chef team from Lima work the open kitchen steps from your seat, and the technique shows—the Agnolotti Di Funghi seals mushroom broth inside each dumpling so it bursts on the bite, a method the chef learned in New York and brought to Miami at prices that undercut every serious pasta competitor in Wynwood with most dishes under $25. The gorgonzola-mascarpone cheesecake and Peruvian lúcuma desserts signal a kitchen thinking beyond the expected Italian playbook.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pici Cacio E Pepe, Pappardelle with 15-Hour Braised Beef Cheek Ragú, Agnolotti Di Funghi

The NYC West Village transplant brought its farm-to-table identity to a 7,000 sqft Wynwood property where a working herb garden grows ingredients used in dishes marked with a rosemary sprig icon on the menu—Executive Chef Craig Giunta (ex-Mother Wolf, Macchialina) built Miami-exclusives like the Florida Rock Shrimp Linguini with bomba chili that you can't get at the original location. The bougainvillea-lined garden patio under twinkling lights is one of the strongest outdoor dining settings in the area, though the $35 corkage and $5-per-slice cake fee remind you this is a polished operation that prices every detail accordingly.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pappardelle Verde, Meatballs, Crispy Artichokes
What Makes it Special: A NYC West Village transplant with an on-site herb garden cultivated by Little River Cooperative—dishes tagged with a rosemary sprig icon on the menu use ingredients grown steps from your table, and Executive Chef Craig Giunta (ex-Mother Wolf, Macchialina) crafted Miami-exclusive dishes like the Florida Rock Shrimp Linguini you can't get at the NYC location.

Otto & Pepe
7.8
Michelin-pedigreed chef Viviana Varese designed a tight pasta menu that critics have praised without qualification—the orecchiette with eggplant and aged ricotta and the fried egg with black truffle both deliver on technique in ways that justify the 22-seat pasta bar's front-row format. The natural wine enoteca with an on-site sommelier who matches bottles to your taste on the fly adds genuine value, though $$$ pricing against portions that multiple reviewers call small means you're paying for craft over volume.
Must-Try Dishes:
Orecchiette alla Norma, Paccheri con Branzino, Uovo Fritto con Patate e Tartufo Nero
What Makes it Special: A Michelin-pedigreed chef (Viviana Varese) designed the menu for a 22-seat pasta bar where you watch every dish made from scratch—paired with a natural wine enoteca curated by an on-site sommelier who'll match bottles to your preferences on the spot.
