Miami Design District | Amazing Italian Food! 🇮🇹✨

Originally wanted to try Cote Korean BBQ, but they were fully booked (walk-ins only at the bar 😒), so we switched to this highly-rated Italian spot nearby—and it was SO GOOD! 🎯 🍽 Sofia Italian Restaurant Miami Super easy to find—cute pink decor right in the Design District, super photogenic! 📸💖 🍞 Complimentary Bread 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Warm & fluffy! Served with olive oil (asked for balsamic too—perfection). 🧈🔥 🦐 Fritto Misto (Fried Seafood) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Shrimp, squid, scallops—so tender! Squeeze lemon + dip in aioli = heaven. 🍤🍋 🥩 Carpaccio di Manzo (Beef Carpaccio) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Rich truffle flavor with cheese, figs, and nuts—perfect starter! 🐙 Polpo (Grilled Octopus) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Unbelievably tender—bite-sized perfection! 🎯 🐟 Branzino (Sea Bass) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Lemon & pepper seasoning—freshly cracked pepper bursts with juice! Skin was crispy & divine. 🎣💥 🥬 Cavoletti di Bruxelles (Brussels Sprouts) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Best I’ve ever had! Crispy, juicy, with sweet raisins. 🤯 🥦 Broccolini alla Griglia (Grilled Broccolini) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 They know how to do veggies right! Lemon vinaigrette = game-changer. 🍋 🍰 Tiramisu 🌟🌟🌟 Interesting twist with espresso ice cream, but I prefer Eataly’s version. 🧁 Cannoli 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The BEST DESSERT! Vanilla cheesecake filling + blood orange sorbet = refreshing bliss. 🍊 💸 Heads up: 20% tip is already included. At checkout, they ask for additional tips—I skipped it. 20% is plenty (service was fast but no dish explanations—18% would’ve been fair). 💡 Travel tip: Skip heavy carbs, load up on veggies & protein—this order was chef’s kiss for me! #MiamiGuide #MiamiEats #MiamiTravel #FoodieFinds #ItalianCuisine #DesignDistrictEats
