Casadonna

"We got here on the rainy day. Still Love the atmosphere. We are celebrating my friend birthday . We ordered a lot of appetizers to try and the food come out pretty good and tasty. Also the main dish is really good size to share. Dessert is delicious. The server is lacking of the attention to our table a little bit . Take forever to come taking the order. We paid 180+ person for 9 ppl. Overall is a happy night so far."

"Went to experience the brunch and it was terrible! The food took very long and it was not tasty at all, all dishes were very bland, seemed like food served in a cheap buffet or leftovers and the steak was disgusting. We asked the server to remove our dishes after two bites, it was obvious we did not like it, she didn’t bother to ask any questions and dropped the check. $95 pp without any drinks, you’re better eating at Whole foods. I’ll do say they have a diverse menu which is why I went but the food quality is just not there. Do not recommend :("

"I’m giving two stars because I made reservations for 9 Pm and the hostess were not welcoming. I had to ask twice how long we had to wait and they wouldn’t give us an estimation. I was disappointed and told them I wanted to cancel the reservation and go elsewhere & all of a sudden they said they had a table available. Meanwhile many parties that arrived after us got sat quickly. When my party of 2 sat down I noticed a couple empty tables. The food and drinks took forever to come out & for a “high end” restaurant I was extremely disappointed. Our waitress was very nice & food was pretty good as well as the drinks. It’s just horrible to come to a nice place and be treated horribly by hostesses. I feel like this experience is pretty common in Miami & it’s unfortunate. Beautiful atmosphere but at least it’s a place I’ll go once and not return. Management was all over the place and didn’t seem involved assisting staff since to me they looked understaffed for such a big restaurant. I even had to stack all my plates since the service wasn’t prompt. If I get amazing service at a small establishment I expect the same at a high end establishment."

"Great experience. Food was on point.. I actually repeated the black ink pasta. Had the branzino + the grilled octopus. Oysters and dessert were good. Nothing out of this world. But I hated the fact that it was hurried by our waiter. They take the entire order in one go and while you're finishing the last place they keep pushing the dessert or keep asking you if you tried your drink and you like it (like twice). Not nice if you truly want to enjoy the ambiance, the drinks and the company. I don't think the service is up to the standards of the place. Will go back to try more Italian/pasta plates."

"If yo are looking for the current hottest place to see and be seen within one of the most atmospheric restaurants in Miami, Casadonna is the place. If you’re looking for a restaurant with high quality and over the top great tasting food, you may want to take a pass on Casadonna. Casadonna is easily one of the most beautiful and atmospheric restaurants on the water in Miami. The dining room is immaculate and the service is most certainly on point. The food and drinks are where the restaurant sort of falls apart. After sampling a wide variety of appetizers, small plates, drinks and deserts, nothing ever really “popped” and the flavoring sort of fell flat of where it could have been elevated to. The dish portion sizes were also disappointing. They very small when compared to the prices asked. Casadonna is most certainly a beautiful and exciting experience that shouldn’t be missed. But should it be repeated ? Probably not."
