Caffe Abbracci - Italian restaurant in Coral Gables - 318 Aragon Ave, USA

The restaurant was extremely small but comfortable. The staff was attentive but slow to take orders and follow up. Overran the food was 3/5, and service was 3/5. While seated, there was a strong smell of tobacco coming from the kitchen area. I'm unsure if this was a smoke area, but didn’t sit very well with our dinner.

This is a classic Italian restaurant. The ambiance is very nice. They have a decent selection of wine. I picked the off the menu chicken parmigiana which was fantastic. All of our party were happy with their entrees. Went in May 2019 and hope to be back again soon.

The food is good but the atmosphere is entirely too uptight & waiter asked me what constitutes a limoncello martini? Not friendly and managers did not interact or welcome new guests.

Went here after we ditched our 2.5 hour reservation at Hillstone (no restaurant is good enough to wait that long). I enjoyed the fried calamari and their very fresh hot out-of-the-oven dinner rolls (my favorite so far from all restaurant-served breads). My sister’s boyfriend really enjoyed his Parmesan chicken and my sister regrettably didn’t get to enjoy her lobster ravioli since a miscommunication of sharing dishes led her to order a simple pasta dish instead. I enjoyed my sea bass although I wish the portions were bigger and my mom had her usual seafood pasta. Dessert was a disappointment for me since I was recommended to order the ice cream. The description seemed fun but it ended up being was vanilla- chocolate ice cream with a cherry center dipped in a chocolate shell. It was visually pleasing but the ice cream was not that great. Publix had smoother ice cream than this. Waitstaff was good and seating was only ok (due to the pandemic, many restaurants have seating on the sidewalk but I don’t enjoy eating next to valet parked cars and their corresponding car fumes. My sister ordered the nonna cake which ended up being similar to a key lime pie. She and her boyfriend enjoyed the tart dessert. Over all it was a pleasant experience. Might come back to try those lobster raviolis next time. By the way, they take reservations, that is how we were able to get seated within the 15 minutes it took to walk there from Hillstone.

Best Italian in Gables. Classic ambience, old fashioned, delicious food, amazing service. Valet $8, but there is a parking lot right there or you can park in front Books and Books, at the Public parking and have a nice walk.

Old world Italian with a New York charm. Food was amazing. Service was great. Just a wonderful evening

ABBRACCI is an old-school Italian restaurant with classic cuisine served by professionals. Our meals were outstanding. The dinning experience reminded me of a few of my favorite Italian Restaurants in South Philly and Manhattan.

Very old school place and atmosphere! When you order a pasta and it is comparable to Olive Garden, that tells you what kind of kitchen you have here. Service was very friendly though!
