Read moreWe stumbled upon Salumeria 104 in the vibrant Wynwood neighborhood of Miami and were lucky enough to find parking right on the street super convenient. The moment we walked in, we were struck by how beautiful and inviting the space is. It blends rustic Northern Italian charm with Miami’s energetic vibes, featuring warm wood tones, cozy lighting, and a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere that immediately made us feel welcome.
One of the highlights of our visit was that Salumeria 104 is pet friendly not just in the typical way where you’re only allowed to sit outside, but they actually let us sit inside with our dog. That is such a rare and appreciated gesture, especially on a hot day when being outdoors with a pet would have been very uncomfortable. Their flexibility and kindness toward pet owners really made a difference and added a personal touch to the experience.
The service was absolutely spectacular. Our server greeted us with genuine enthusiasm, explained the menu with care, and made us feel truly looked after.
To start, we ordered the Cacio e Pepe, prepared tableside in a 12-month aged Pecorino Romano cheese wheel. It was creamy, perfectly peppery, and the pasta had the ideal bite a showstopper in both flavor and presentation. For our main dish, we chose the Branzino, beautifully broiled and served with mixed greens and tartar sauce. The fish was fresh, flaky, and cooked to perfection, with a lovely crisp on the skin and delicate seasoning that let the quality of the ingredients shine.
To end the meal on a sweet note, we shared a classic Tiramisù, light and creamy with just the right amount of espresso flavor. We paired it with a glass of red wine, which complemented the meal beautifully.
Everything from the easy parking, stunning interior, and delicious food to the warm and thoughtful service made our visit absolutely memorable. And the fact that our dog could be comfortably with us inside just elevated the experience even more. Salumeria 104 is a gem in Miami truly 100%...
Read moreI have been to this restaurant numerous times, especially with guests from out of town, and always had a pleasant experience until my most recent visit. I was literally ignored most of the evening. My entree was brought out quite some time before the rest of my party which made our experience awkward. Good restaurants always bring food out at the same time and never allow something like that to happen. I happen to have ordered one of the most expensive entrées on their menu so it was extremely unfortunate that I had to start eating five minutes before the rest of my party at my table so my food would not get cold. After we finished eating, our plates were cleared and then the server hastily dropped a dessert menu and then proceeded to ignore our table for 15 minutes. At that point, we just wanted our check. After 15 minutes of waiting, we finally got our check and can you believe they tried to charge us for a glass of tapwater? When we initially ordered our wine, we asked for a glass of water. We specified that we wanted tapwater, not sparkling water. When I asked the server why we are being charged for tapwater, something that is not a normal restaurant practice in the United States, she tried to tell me some nonsense and then immediately took it off the bill. Seemed very shady. This had never happened on any of my prior visits in this restaurant. It’s not about the money, but it’s the principle. This is a very tacky business practice that has no place in a good restaurant. Most patrons probably don’t notice the sneaky charge so the restaurant gets away with it. The only thing I enjoyed was the food. The food is delicious. However, the slow service and tacky business practices will make me...
