I frequent here often and I love everything about the place. The ambiance is relaxing and upscale, Juan, the bartender, has great service, he was attentive and patient. Today, I tried the Colossal Shrimp for the first time with a side of pesto sauce (came with mushrooms) and it was everything I’d hope for! Nicely flavored and light on the tummy but still filling. The pizza is always 10/10 and so is the cleanliness and service! Juan was awesome! Thank you!!

As a person used to eating out in Miami where the aesthetic/ambience is more important than the food, this place was incredible because it had both! We appreciated our waiter David for being attentive and answering any questions we had on the menu. Then the food arrived and was delicious. We ordered from the specials menu and everything was good. We also were lucky to enjoy a 50% off deal on our favorite bottle of wine. The only mark off is due to my mussels in my seafood vodka pasta having a slightly muddy taste. Otherwise, divine! You have to get the chocolate lava cake with the espresso gelato. Great place! Great service!

Juan provided amazing service for dinner on a busy Friday. He recommended a perfect wine for our meal and was very attentive. It’s not every day you get great service in Miramar. We definitely will be coming back to see Juan again. We ended up ordering several rounds of food and Juan was very patient and helpful.

I’ve been to Cucina Moderna a few times, including to celebrate my birthday, and the food has always been a hit. Every item I’ve tried have been delicious! The drinks are also very good. The service is also amazing; from the hostess to the wait staff, everyone is warm and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful as well. Live DJ on Sundays which is nice and the Sangria pitcher is refreshing and a perfect touch to a brunch. Will definitely be back again.

As soon as I came into the restaurant Juan greeted me and made sure the place at sat at was clean and greeted me by introducing himself, Juan’s service was welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my dinner. I had the Riesling relax bottle of wine amazing with the mussels linguine, also had the tomato mozzarella and a cannoli to go. Everything was beautiful and tasted amazing!!! The ambience and everything made me feel welcome and ok to have a date night alone!

Went for a work gathering. We were a large party of 17. The waiter Juan was detailed and attentive. The orders were made correctly and tasted delicious. The best part is that this place has a 10 lunch menu that is well portioned.
