Macchialina is a South Beach Italian dinner choice for handmade pasta, a neighborhood dining room and a thoughtful wine list. This article focuses on one restaurant; for a comparison across venues, see our Miami Beach restaurant directory.
What to expect at Macchialina
Chef Michael Pirolo’s restaurant, which opened in 2012, is known for rustic Italian food and a seasonal menu. Start with an antipasto, then choose a pasta or another main course. The menu changes, so an old list of dishes and fixed prices is less useful than the restaurant’s current food menu. The drink menu helps if wine is a major part of your dinner plan.
Where and when to go
The restaurant’s current contact page lists 810 Alton Road, Miami Beach. It lists dinner hours Monday–Thursday, 6–10 PM, and Friday–Sunday, 5–11 PM. The restaurant’s older About page still gives 820 Alton Road; use the current contact page or call 305-534-2124 to confirm the entrance before traveling. Reservations for one to nine guests are handled through the restaurant’s booking link.
Who should choose it?
Macchialina suits a sit-down Italian dinner with time for pasta and wine. If you want a broad roundup by cuisine or neighborhood, compare other Miami Beach dinner ideas before deciding.
