About Il Gabbiano

Il Gabbiano is one of Downtown Miami's most celebrated fine-dining destinations, serving refined Northern Italian cuisine from a stunning waterfront perch at One Miami Waterfront. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a breezy terrace frame panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami River, making every meal feel like an occasion.

The menu is a love letter to classical Italian cooking — buttery veal scaloppine in a dozen preparations, house-made pastas like pappardelle alla vaccinara and spaghetti alla carbonara, silky risottos, and fresh seafood including the beloved branzino al forno. White-jacketed waitstaff deliver old-school tableside service that regulars treasure.

Private dining rooms cater to weddings and corporate events. With a deep Italian wine list, craft cocktails at the onsite bar, and a dessert menu anchored by tiramisu and torta cioccolato, Il Gabbiano earns its place among Miami's top Italian restaurants.

Reservations are required and strongly recommended well in advance.
