Restaurants near Miami Marriott Dadeland

Oh Fratelli Jholano’s you are absolutely DANGEROUS!!! A smaller tucked away delightful gem in downtown dadeland area. Parking underground unless you can find on the street. The hostess was lovely, polite and accommodating. We arrived on time but a table wasn’t available right away so we sat at the bar and were moved when one opened up. It is worth the wait. Be patient because the flavors are powerfully delicious! We started with an Antipasti, the Castelventrano and Jholano Loves Fig. The olive oil / rosemary infusion of the olives was addicting. The focaccia was simply perfect! The lightly toasted focaccia crunched exactly right and too became addicting with the fig spread, Brie, and sliced Prosciutto with walnuts. This was a powerful flavor explosion! They sliced it evenly to 4 and I wish there were 10!!! Now, dinner…. I heard about their version of the Chicken Parmesan, called the Chicken Al 400, a perfectly fried breaded chicken cutlets in light oil over a bed of sauce topped with arugula and pecorino Romano shaved cheese. I added a picture! The taste and flavors were spot on. I added a side of meatballs which were really flavorful! My wife enjoyed her Zucca Ravioli although she’s a lighter pallet than mine and felt the oil was a bit strong. I disagree! I commenced dipping my meatballs into the oils and sauce creating a powerful yin yang of sweet, salty and savory! I also dipped my meatballs in my dish’s sauce. I would love for some of those sauces from each dish to accompany the meatballs! A meatball flight or what have you. I accompanied the starters with a Peroni and the mains with a Chianti Classico. Paired well. Dessert…. We tried the tiramisu, and we are very picky about this little dish as we’ve had it all over the world. It didn’t quite hit the flavor mark as it comes as more of a pudding style than a cake style. The flavors were too soft and I really wanted it to be more powerful and follow my earlier dishes. Great job!!!

Great food. Amazing flavors and dishes. Reasonably priced. Went for lunch. Only issue was there was no hostess to seat us. We stood around for 5-10 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us. It was a lunch 12pm seating. Maybe they had just opened

We had a great family dinner as usual. Sam was delightful, professional, and real. We enjoyed our conversations with her and she is an asset to your company. Our server was extraordinary (sadly I do not remember his name because I did not catch it) but he is from Texas, tall, blonde, clean-cut, and has earrings. He was phenomenal!! Professional, friendly, and a great listener. We would love to have him again as our server when we go back. He is also an asset to your company; the best server we've had there. He and Sam should be commended for their outstanding professionalism!

The host greeted us and placed in a very good spot. The waiter was very attentive and he checked upon us often to ensure all needs were met. The food was delicious and the sides were plentiful! Great experience!!!
