ittle litaly - 100% Vegan Restaurant — Restaurant in Coral Gables

Oh boy where to begin with this place. First off I wish there was an option for zero stars to leave a reveiw but whatever. To start me and my bf were some what excited after this restaurant was recommended numerous times over the years however we had eaten here before in the past at this location under the original ownership. We did not know what to expect after it was bought out. When we first walked in we weren't greeted at all and there was noone except for the two workers (a male and a female) it was a very awkward moment because they were just standing behind the counter staring like if we walked into their home unannounced.so me and my bf decided to seat ourselves and the girl ran up to us saying "oh no why don't you sit here" like okay.... so we sat where she told us to. The table was dirty, the plates had what it seemed to look like crums and the glasses had finger prints on them.. We were looking at the menu which really didnt excite me or my bf and the girl working there didn't come back to serve us for 10 minutes my bf literally had to call her over(again we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time) when she did come back we ordered our food and she left again without even asking if we would like something to drink. When she came 6mins later with the polenta fries she only came back with one, we ordered two. Her response was "we can only serve one order of the polenta fries" the polenta fries were dry and the kale salad we also ordered had a bad after taste in my mouth maybe because the kale was already ageing and a week or two old and turning brown which they didn't mind because they still served it to us, the chickpea croutons were to hard and burnt and the third dish we ordered was the pizza Bianca the dough was very pasty and the cheese was nasty and had a wet texture. Supposibly there is truffle oil used on the pizza but I didnt taste it. the waitress and the other male worker that was also there did not acknowledge us at.all when we were eating and they didn't even ask if we wanted anything to drink. (Once again we were the only ones in the restaurant)until a family of 3 came in to order a piece of chocolate cake (guess they weren't impressed by the menu either)and coffee but the waitress said they didn't serve coffee because they don't drink it. I guess they just don't want to spend money on it the male also asked if chocolate cake was the only dessert they had and she said yes. Since when is chocolate cake an Italian dessert? This place is an absolute mess and i dont even know how they have 4 and a half stars or even how they are still running anyways that family ate the cake and left the cake even looked like it was bought at publix. This was by far the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. What a waste of.time and money(which obviously they only care about that)I left angry and still hungry never coming here ever again and its a shame because the last owner the food was actually worth it and so was...

The service was good and immediate, a little confusing where to place your order because, it's more of a dine in restaurant, with no designated area to place a togo order. The restaurant small and quaint, I love this you can actually see and hear the person or person's that you are dining with, now the most important part the food. I really love that they used a wood firer oven. I purchase to different pizza's(Pepperoni and added Sausage and the Margherita Pizza) , my wife tried one of each pizza first and said they were too salty, she has a high blood pressure problem, she put them down and would eat anymore. I tried the pizza once we got home and I have to agree, it was extremely salty, (I did love the crust though), my grandson who love pizza and never turns down pizza, wouldn't even take a bite. I really wanted to like this pizza because, it's hard to find excellent vegan restaurant especially vegan pizza restaurants. I will go back to try other items on the menu because, they do look appetizing. I just wouldn't be going back for the pizza, I think that is they can make an adjustment to correct that saltiness they will have a decent product, the other thing that I didn't notice was sizes, I think that they only have one size but, don't quote me on that( I guess I should be glad because I would have brought the largest pizzas,and it would have more that would have gone to waste. I do wish them...

My family and I dined at this restaurant a few nights ago, excited to try Italian food with vegan options. However, the place, which claims to be Italian, had a menu riddled with errors in the dish names: 'capressa' instead of 'caprese', 'polenta fritti' instead of 'polenta fritta', etc. This made us realize that it wasn't created by an authentically Italian chef (we're Italian ourselves). When the waitress came to take our order, we discovered that everything we wanted was sold out (we arrived at 8:30 pm, and the restaurant closes at 9 pm, but at 9:40 pm, when we were about to leave, a new couple came in for dinner). We had to settle for the 'pasta il forno', which had nothing to do with the real Italian pasta AL forno. Instead, we got a plate of pan-seared fettuccine with a flavorless tomato sauce. The stuffed mushrooms I had to order as a fallback were nothing special, nor was the caprese, which didn't have the look or taste of a classic caprese, although the vegan cheese (presumably handmade) was good. Even the tiramisu was sold out, and when I asked, 'Could I find it tomorrow?' the reply I got was, 'Yo no sé, yo no sé' (= I don't know) with an unprofessional giggle. The bill was steep! The prices were definitely unreasonable, especially since it's not even authentic Italian food, but a distant and mediocre interpretation. We...
