What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Maiami offers a unique dining experience with a chic, artsy ambiance and a diverse, eclectic menu. While many praise the exceptional pizza, wine selection, and overall atmosphere, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality and taste, with occasional issues regarding saltiness or dessert preparation. Service is generally noted as attentive and professional, though some experienced slow service. The waterfront location adds to its appeal.
"Really enjoyed this place, have now been back four times! We fell in love with the food, service and atmosphere here. Their new pizza menu is incredible - the best pizza on the island by far. We ate the salsicca, which was sweet, spicy, and salty, with a crispy and chewy dough - a pizza aficionado’s dream. We spoke with the owners and they mentioned they spent two years developing it. We also had the 7 courses for their new years menu which was equally delicious. As expected, the wine is great -from their own winery and the vibe is like a chic art museum. Highly recommend - 10/10."

Ed Cluer
"The pizza was amazing! I don't understand the other reviews. The restaurant looks really cute and the wine is also from the owner made. The waitress was super cute and helpful. And the ocean view was a plus. Will definitely go there again. And we had three different pizzas. And the fried olives with cheese inside and the lemon mayonnaise was delicious! Go there - also not to crowded."
