Felice Brickell Reviews

Just three day after it opened, we ventured to Felice and were impressed by the friendly staff and solicitous service. Flavio the general manager made the rounds to make sure everything was as expected. IT WAS. With so many pretentious and overpriced restaurants around, Felice is a clear choice. We shared Polpettine (meatballs) al Pomodoro, delicious with just the right amount of sauce and then the house Ravioli and Pappardelle con Salsiccia (Italian sweet sausage) both excellent with an inexpensive but great tasting Primitivo wine from the Puglia Region. Three days after opening, I can understand the rather limited menu, missing a couple of Italian classics and this is the only reason we are letting sometime pass until they expand the menu to include a sirloin tagliata, pasta al vongole, pasta with shrimp etc. Menu is reasonably priced. I would most definitely remove the Burger and Fried Chicken from the Dinner menu and make them available only for lunch. In my opinion it detracts from dinner expectations and the overall white tablecloths ambiance.

Really a terrific atmosphere and a terrific option for work lunch. I have been twice this week. The service is friendly and the food is excellent. The lunch pre fix is a good deal with terrific apps. Will be back again.

A new restaurant in Brickell had opened and it’s really good. Felice is a great Italian restaurant in the heart of Brickell, and while not in the thick of things, still manages to host a full crowd. We had the ravioli, the chicken paillard and the chicken parmigiana. All were delicious. As was the chocolate hazelnut dessert! A great new local place!!

Open since July 2024, Felice Brickell (“imported”from the 15-20 Felice’s from NYC-area) offers EXCELLENT Italian cuisine in a lovely ambiance. EXTRA KUDOS for the high ceiling dinning room with soft ambient music - - it’s actually possible to have an enjoyable dinner conversation here (in contra-distinction to so many Miami restaurants with deafening loud ambience). This was our first (& certainly not our last!) visit, and we enjoyed: Complimentary soft warm bread Very good cocktails (Boulevardier, & Margarita both very good Eggplant parmigiana - delicious flavors! Fettuccine bolognese - MUST TRY!! I’ve never had better bolognese! Branzino al cartoccio - baked with tomatoes, black olives, and potato chunks - yum! Chicken parmigiana - very tasty (a full plate!) Tiramisu - made fresh daily here! I would rate every single food item as DELICIOUS! Service was highly professional, attentive, and friendly (Thank you Henry!). We can’t wait to return!!

Felice Brickell is a NYC-area (several locations up North) import to Miami - - It’s OUTSTANDING!! Ambiance, service & hospitality, and delicious Tuscan Italian food - - Felice knows how to run a great restaurant! Valet parking is available in front (in the crowded Brickell area). This was a return visit for us, and we enjoyed: Cocktails (a lovely Boulevardier served over 1 large ice cup - - a perfect Italian cocktail) Beet salad - a “special” on tonight’s menu - fresh beets, some avocado, & creamy goat cheese vinaigrette - yum Spaghetti alla Diavola - spicy tomato sauce - really tasty (but NOT at all “mouth on fire”) Chicken Paillard - a light VERY tasty Italian version of this entree - paillard topped with: sautéed zucchini, some carrot slices, and a sun-dried tomato pesto - DELICIOUS! Branzino al Carticcio - baked in paper wrapping - succulently delicious! Torta Nicciola - a very light slight of chocolate mousse cake (on a thin chocolate cake base) with hazelnut cream on top - yum! A perfect finish! FELICE BRICKELL is a MYST TRY Tuscan Italian restaurant in the Miami business district. Dinner here is a real treat. We look forward to returning!

In a business/residential area. Excellent food and very friendly and helpful staff. The only downside was the loud music.

We live in the neighborhood and ate at Felice Brickell for the first time tonight. Great food and service. Tony and Frank were really nice.

A great Italian restaurant has recently opened up in Brickell. It’s a great setting with indoor, outdoor and balcony seating. The service is perfect - attentive and informative and friendly. But the food is the star. Great pastas, salmon and meats. And the cocktails are superb. Get there a little early and have a pre-dinner drink at the bar. Or if you dine solo, the bar is a great place for a superb meal.

Best service at the bar always with Tony & Mo, great cocktails and food. Real italian traditional gastronomy. Felice Martini w/ gin

Loved eating outdoors with my family. Couldn’t be happier with the location, given that we live across the street! Our puppy was in tow and that was also fun. The food was amazing from start to finish, including the vino by the glass. The staff are the best!

We had lunch at Felice in Brickell today and it was AMAZING. We drove from Fort Lauderdale and its location is so easy to reach from I-95 and we loved the valet parking so prompt. The restaurant has a wonderful outside dining area, made private by luscious plants, fans, heaters, modern furniture and decor, but we opted to dine inside due to the bad weather. The dining room is quite elegant but contemporary, the tablecloths and silverware on point, which is important for us. The overall service quality was superb, from hostess Manuela's warm reception, to Flavio the manager's exquisite charm, to the skilled waiter's attentiveness, and we even got to meet Chef Luigi to compliment him on each of the dishes we enjoyed. Most importantly, everyone was really Italian and spoke Italian, which was so refreshing, since we are also Italian from the actual Country ! We loved the refined ambiance and relaxed atmosphere which made the authentic Northern Italian dishes taste even better ! Food and drink wise: the Mojito we started with was most delicious ! A Bubbly Prosecco DOC was our choice to enjoy the meal. For appetizers we had Tuna Carpaccio with capers, but it was as fancy as a Tuna Tartar, and scrumptious shrimps in pink sauce with a touch of Jalapeno. For the entrees, we went with the New York strip with Truffle and Mushroom which came inside a fancy copper pan; we were impressed by the very generous portion boasting an aroma and flavor we hardly tasted anywhere else other than Italy, and a classic Branzino al Cartoccio, which came inside the actual "cartoccio" it was baked within, and its freshness and flavor were amazing. Side dishes were delicious too: we ordered char-grilled asparagus and the best home made French Fries EVER! All the food was "clean", fresh, cooked to perfection, with no heavy sauce or seasoning covering/altering the actual flavor of the main ingredients like most "Italian" restaurants do here in Sfla. We appreciated that immensely! We "tried" to end with a nice espresso only.....but they insisted we had a bite of their Tiramisu dessert and we obliged. Obviously, it was delicious too. Hence, as far as REAL Italian restaurants in South Florida are concerned, we recommend this place wholeheartedly, and we will be back very soon to taste more of their dishes. OVERALL : 10 STARS!!!!!

Fantastic experience! The restaurant has excellent service and cuisine. The service was friendly, polite and cordial. The manager helped us select the wine, oversaw the entire service and at the end accompanied us to the door. The dishes are well served (they could be shared). The prices are fair and we left extremely satisfied. It has taken the place of my "favorite Italian in Miami".

Excellent food, tasty, the impeccable service, all staff very attentive, very beautiful and welcoming environment.

We went on a group of 3 people. Two of us ordered the lunch special and the other a steak. The appetizer, which was eggplant parmigiana, was excellent. The entree was a pasta either a strange name with burrata and tomato. It lacked some more taste. The place is very nice and the service was good.

With numerous locations in NYC and beyond, FELICE Miami is a wonderful addition to the Italian food dining scene - this group knows how to do a GREAT restaurant! It’s conveniently located on Brickell Avenue (in the Miami business district), and on this recent visit we enjoyed: Excellent wine and cocktails (Boulevardier whiskey drink is superb!) Artichoke and calamari fritti - very good plate for sharing Shrimp in salsa rosa - yummy cold appetizer Eggplant parmigiana - technically an “appetizer” though big enough to be an entree - delicious! Fettuccine bolognese - mouthwatering scrumptious plate of pasta!! … for Bolognese fans this entree is MUST TRY DELICIOUS!! Pistachio torta - creamy, tasty, yummy! Ambiance and seating is lovely, service and hospitality are excellent, and menu/food items are delicious! FELICE Miami is a MUST TRY wonderful Italian restaurant on Brickell Avenue in Miami.

I went for a romantic dinner with my wife and it was really a flop. As soon as we arrived, a fully tattooed waitress treated us really badly when we decided on separate courses. The quality is certainly not that of NY The hamburger was raw, we had asked well cooked. I had to book a business dinner but better leave it alone. To forget. 5-dot reviews in my opinion should be verified better or are employees or friends are not credible. Advice , take better care of customer service with courtesy and politeness . I forgot if you decide to go anyway don't take the meatballs are terrible.

I had dinner last night, when we arrived the table was not ready and we were kept waiting quite a while, a disaster the bad service, we ordered meatballs and the waitress refused because she wanted us to order all together to facilitate the chef. Usually it facilitates the Customer. The pasta with ricotta was not ricotta and our host was sick. It does not deserve to be called an Italian restaurant both for quality and types of dishes. As a Miami resident I especially advise tourists against passing by them.
