We didn’t know what to expect from this hidden gem. It had a charming patio which is where we sat. The service was superb. The food ingredients were unique. The inclusion of frozen raspberries was an incredibly unlikely addition that complemented the flavour profile beautifully. Also, any chef that can work fois gras into a pasta dish and make it work, deserves credit. All the dishes we had were unique, flavourful and well presented. The dessert was also special in its presentation and delicious. I highly recommend the dishes we had as photographed on this review.

Great Italian dinner date experience at Alloy Bistro Gourmet last Friday night. Lots of parking options a few blocks from the restaurant. It is inside a sort of square connected to a Greek restaurant that also has outdoor patio seating in the same area. We made reservations through OpenTable, but they also take walk-ins. Outside patio dining was lovely and safely distanced. Our Italian server Antonella was very attentive, personable, and detail-oriented. Waited patiently for me to also finish my dinner before clearing our plates. Our appetizer was delicious 3yr aged duck prosciutto with bread, followed by a main black activated charcoal dough pasta with Branzino, saffron, and wild caught shrimp. My date had the very delicious Pappardelle lobster. I tasted some of his Pappardelle and totally fell in love with the pasta. Al dente the best bite, very flavorful. No photos of that dish unfortunately. Portion size was very good for me. My date wanted perhaps a little more. We ended the evening with a little porto, a cappuccino for my date, an espresso for me, and two desserts from the menu. They were both so delicious: flavorful and not very sweet. The cappuccino was a sort of light coffee flavored mousse with chocolate sauce, and topped with crispy biscotti amaretti. I could have had ten of those! My date tried the chocolate fudge with white chocolate droplets, and little raspberry bits. Very rich, dark, and creamy cocoa flavors. So glad we chose this place for our pre-Valentine’s dinner. Would like to return to try some other things on the menu.

Miami’s best kept Italian fusion secret! This place is a hidden pearl in a sea filled with so many duds … it’s a pearl gem of a place ! I had the pleasure of visiting and experiencing this beautiful little beautiful restaurant this evening and I was incredibly amazed by the authenticity. This hidden place was incredible the vibe and the atmosphere is so romantic. I would take anyone on a first second or hundredth date to this spot. It is very beautiful the lighting decor and everything screams unique and romantic. The mini lights on every table is so cute and the seating outside which is where most of the guest seat is breathtaking with the fresh breeze…Superbe. Service : A1! We had amazing service from Marco. He was super attentive to everything we did! If we had half our glass filled,he would direct the waitress to come refill our glasses. They sat us down very quickly let us pick which table we wanted. It’s a beautiful place and we enjoyed our time spent coming here on a romantic dinner date The food: was absolutely extraordinarily perfect just wished there was more on the plate. We had a nice red wine paired with Lamb my favourite was the : roasted cauliflower. It was so delicious. I decided without hesitation to order a second order. I loved the spinach gazpacho and feta mousse with the roasted Cauli. It paired beautifully together. It was cooked to perfection shoutout to the chef juste delicious wow Then we had the chineese eggplant. It was delicious also paired with some gazpacho spinach ricotta mousse unfortunately it was not enough we wished there was more we devoured the dish in 2 minutes. We shared the lamb chops dish extremely tender fall off the bone and very well seasoned with lots of flavour the cook was perfection again! We also had some duck prosciutto it was amazing but again portions were limited wish it was thicker cuts of the amazing prosciutto and the lamb chops were minute as well. But the cook is/was: Perfection ! Every single bite we took kept us wanting more and more it was irresistible. The plates were all cleaned up in minutes! For dessert, we had coffee to settle all what we devoured down .. maybe we will try the desserts on our next trip definitely count us in! we will be back here for sure ! 10000% recommend Cheers!

The service was fantastic. Cute little outdoor patio area (covered). The food was delicious. I had the truffle risotto and it was . The deserts left a little to be desired. Had the cheesecake, panacota, and the chocolate. The panacota was soupy, and the cheesecake was too fluffy and lacked that cheesecake consistency. Overall, a great experience.

Phenomenal! Every single dish was cooked amazingly and was flavorful. The staff was on top of everything, knowledgeable, and pleasant. Highly recommend the octopus, the ravioli with pistachio dough, and the cheesecake! A must try restaurant.

A unique amazing dining experience tucked away in downtown Miami. This wonderfully cozy bistro catapults you to the Mediterranean from the moment you arrive! Take time to savor the menu then delve right into the incredible selection of created from scratch options. This was my first time dining here but will not be last! Each dish delicately prepared left me with such respect, delight and yearning for more! The service was impeccable! The care and kindness, like we were in a lovely private home garden! With so many choices in Miami, please put this one at the top of your list! Thank you Alloy for a beautiful evening!!

What a fantastic place! The staff is extremely friendly, the food delicious and a great atmosphere. Can recommend this place highly. For me the cauliflower had a bit too much cream and too little cauliflower and the stuffing of the Ravioli was not that intense. The bread was a bit too salty but all really minor. Overall, can highly recommend this place for a date night ans dinner with friends or family. Also, just wanted to reiterate how friendly and helpful the staff was
