Romina's Ristorante Italiano

Romina's Ristorante Italiano brings hand-crafted pasta, fresh seafood, and prime cuts to Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, one of the city's busiest pedestrian promenades. The open kitchen turns out dishes like cacio e pepe finished tableside in a pecorino wheel, lobster ravioli in lobster cream sauce, and whole grilled branzino, alongside wood-fired pizzas and burrata starters that keep appearing in guest photos.

Outdoor tables under string lights sit steps from Lincoln Road's shops and people-watching, while the indoor dining room has exposed brick and a casual, lively energy with live music on select nights. The menu spans breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options alongside classics like filet mignon and a 24oz rib-eye.

Prices run moderate to upscale, roughly $20 to $80 a plate, making it workable for a quick lunch or a full dinner. It's dog-friendly, accommodates kids with high chairs and a kids' menu, and the dining room stays loud and full well into the night, especially on weekends.
