The place is nice, staff friendly and corteous but we did not like what we eat. We started with a creamy polenta that was salty and we selected as main course the churrasco with rissotto and blackberry sauce, well the sauce it is not a good option for the churrasco, we did not like it, and in our table 3...

Terrible. One star because CERO is not allowed! If you like your "seared" TUNA plastered in saffron and drowned in MAPLE syrup with risotto that looks like vomit ALL served in a huge tray, then go for it. Me in the other hand, like to be served a work of art nicely portioned and presented. It is ridiculous that this... More

The best restaurant in Miami. My husband and I try to go Cafe Vialetto at least once a month. It is a little expensive but worth it! You should try it. Super good!!! More

I should have paid more attention to some of the negative trip advisor reviews! We made reservations ( we were not 'walk-ins'...so that was no excuse for the seating arrangement) The place was very full of tables (4 tops and larger) which were placed fairly tightly ...BUT we were seated at a ROW of small tables no more than 22"...

The unique cuisine is memorable. Interesting combinations of flavors and presentations. Seating is very limited so make a reservation. Located across Coral Gables Senior High, on Lejeune road. Prices for main course dishes range from $15 to $30. Excellent desserts ! More

But we don't go often. It's not healthly eating and the servers has so many specials that we can't remember the ones in the beginning. The food is old fashioned rich. More

If you seek to dine in an ambience with a decibal level equal to the New York Stock Exchange at the opening bell, practically sitting in the lap of diners at adjacent tables, and consuming your unidentifiable entree drenched in an aorta-clogging sauce, then this dimly-lit, waiter-unfriendly eatery is for you. (Pseudo-sophisticated posers will love this place.) More

The menu options are superb. A high quality operation, with a very creative chef. This was my third experience at Cafe Vialetto, and we will return. This latest evening was a Saturday, and the restaurant was packed. The service does not match the inventive menu, however. More

The menu is small but delicious. What sets them apart is their specials. They are fantastic. Make sure to try the gorgonzola and strawberry ravioli for appetizer, and try the hog snapper with black risotto for entry. More
