Cotoletta — Restaurant in Miami

I never leave reviews. Even when it’s a bad experience. I actually left this place yesterday extremely disappointed and I was not planning to leave any review, until I got home with food poisoning and vomited twice. I went to eat here alone, after a long day of work, the girl seemed already with an attitude cause I was by myself, apparently they don’t have menus so I’d had to ask for the price of things, and she would roll her eyes at me — I ordered the milanese, soggy, uneven crisp, no flavor despite putting like 1lb of salt, fries were greasy, fried on rancid oil, unsalted, no matter how much salt i added, the food would still be tasteless (the arancinis and bruschetta were good, I’d say that) The manager girl came to me with her arrogant face and asked me if something was wrong, and I explained, she told me that the uneven crisp in my milanese was because I squeezed the lemon, and rolled her eyes… i’ve had Milaneses in Italy, in Germany, in Argentina; in way too many good restaurants around the world. I’m also a cook, and Italian, I know how a crispy Milanese should taste like, the ones I make at home are ten times better. The story here is that, as I was waiting for the bathroom, I noticed the kitchen looked extremely dirty and there was smoke from burnt oil, but I let it pass. Then, while i was in the middle of my meal outside, I saw a german cockroach crawling on the window right next to me. I didn’t really bother or care because I was sitting out in the street, so a cockroach could be normal, but not a german cockroach, those are different. The reason why I am leaving a review today, is because of the sum of bad experiences aside from the bad meal, but including a night of vomiting and a freaking german cockroach. Avoid this place, it’s not worth the hype at all. I love aesthetic places, that serve good quality and are detail oriented, the only cute thing about this place is the Cotoletta...

I usually don’t leave bad reviews but me and my best friend went to this place, the place was empty with no people inside of the restaurant it was raining really bad outside and we had no umbrella so our feet were wet, since we open the door there was a hostess man who look at us from up and down with a disgusting face, I kindly ask if we could enter like that to eat, if not it was okay, it was not our fault that it rained, he said yes, we sat down one next to the other and they put us in a corner table, we asked if we could move to the next one since it had two tables combined, there is NOBADY in the whole restaurant, he looks at us and just moved the chair in front of us saying that I could sit in front of her, with a nasty attitude he moved the other table, I believe it was the manager that came out after, a Italian guy wearing a grey suit, he was looking at me and my friend the whole time from the side with a face that we were not welcomed there, for a moment we tought on just paying for the appetizers and leaving, just looked at us from a side with a nasty attitude and disgusting face, a family came after us and we could notice the service was different, the manager even showed them where to park, the family apologized for being wet like we did but with them they were nice the whole time with them, we did not even order dessert because since the beginning the service was horrible and still gave them gratuity, a few hours after we got food poisoning, not...

Really great experience. feels like you’re in a restaurant in Italy with the all Italian staff, the simple seating arrangements and the deliciously authentic Italian cuisine. Must try. In case you have not heard—it’s essentially a prefixed dinner. For appetizers, they start you with 2 truffle arancini balls and a bruschetta. I’ve never been one for arancini but the breading and truffle cheese sauce was so light and rich as well as perfectly fried. The bruschetta was so nice as well. The stracciatella, oil and tomatoes were fresh and creamy with the perfect crunch from the garlicky bread. For entree they bring you out the veal Milanese which was pounded, breaded, fried and salted to absolute perfection. I’m Italian myself and I don’t think I’ve ever ordered a veal Milanese because it’s just never at the top of my list, but this was a great entree. Along with the Milanese you can choose 2 sides from penne pomodoro, zuchine fitte (fried zucchini sticks), a salad, fries, and the special of the day was a penne bolognese. We orders the zucchini fritte and the bolognese. The zucchini was lightly battered, fried and salted to perfection. The bolognese was with penne which is not how I love my bolognese paired, but regardless the sauce was really good. We did not get any dessert because we were just too full. But supposedly the desserts are fantastic as well. It’s a great change of pace from the typical miami restaurants. And so authentic too which I...
