Alaine's Osteria - Italian restaurant in Palmetto Bay - 7290 SW 168th St D, USA

Amazing experience here at Alaine's Osteria. Food was incredible and the service even better. Stefan took very good care of us and our wine glasses were never past half empty. His knowledge of the menu helped me decide when I was torn between all the excellent sounding choices. My fiancee ordered the seafood risotto and everything under the sea was there from mussels, to squid, and even lobster. The chicken francese had a tasteful amount of lemon butter and I almost wish I could bottle up the sauce used in the risotto. Would definitely return and recommend Stefan as your server.

Lovely hidden gem with great service and fantastic food. Calamari we're extremely fresh. Fettuccini Alfredo was creamy and tasted just right. The chicken in the chicken Alfredo was slightly dry, but it was a great dish overall. The short rib ravioli was definitely unique. Tasty, although I found the dish/sauce a bit on the sweet side. House wine (red) was fantastic! I have found my favorite local Italian restaurant. Small, cozy, dim lit, great for any occasion.

Sadly, I hate to have to write this review. I’m not generally one to do so but this case I must! So, called at 4 to get reservation and was told they were not taking them but please come in and they would get us seated. This evening being my father’s birthday, I wanted a nice dinner. Upon arrival we were told 40 min max to wait. Fine, we can wait. At 1 hour, told they were clearing table. 15 min later it will be another 15 min and so on. At 1:45 minutes I was told the Manager Jacky decided other patrons were more important and gave our table up to them. Sadly the young lady at front could no longer make excuses and just said sorry she had no control over it. Needless to say pretty horrible and disappointing experience and will not be returning. Thank you, Jacky!

The filet mignon was grilled perfectly. House salad was ample and tasty. Waiters were very attentive. Tables are a little tight. We chose not to have dessert because a loud party of six were seated beside us. While the decor is very nice including crisp table linens, I was surprised several patrons wore cutoff shorts and flip flops.

We've been coming to Alaine's for a few years now. it's one of our favorite place to have dinner. Everything we've tried has been delicious and the staff is always attentive and welcoming. We love this place so much, we decided to have our wedding reception there this past weekend and we can't thank Jacky and all of the staff enough! They were awesome and all of our guests enjoyed the food, relaxed atmosphere and exceptional staff. Can't thank you guys enough! Blessings to you all and see you again soon! Freddy and Barbie

My husband and I visited Alaines’s Osteria for the first time today, and we were blown away by the entire experience. The food is simply outstanding. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients.The presentation was exquisite, and the flavors were heavenly. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, We can't wait to return and try more dishes from their incredible menu.

A bit of a long wait to sit but definitely worth it. We ordered (pictured): Parpadelle allá Bolognese, Meat Lasagna, Fettucine Alfredo; and for dessert: Limoncello, and Tiramisu Oh and the pear pasta was delicious!!!

This neighborhood restaurant is not only quaint, but the service is great and the food is amazing. Everything is made to order, so don't rush the chef. If you end up having to wait for a table, they provide you a glass of house wine to enjoy. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant, it's also perfect for date night. Try their cream sauce dishes.
