It’s National Pasta Month! If you’re looking for somewhere to celebrate the food holiday, you’re in luck: These seven Miami restaurants serve up some of the best pasta in town.
Casa Isola
Miami Beach’s Casa Isola is the place to go for an affordable, delicious bowl of rigatoni alli vodka. Thanks to the Calabrian chilis, the dish packs quite the kick and has an unparalleled depth of flavor; you’ll be thinking about it long after your meal. Other highlights on the pasta menu include raviolini ai funghi, the casarecce pasta and the bucatini. Also, it’s not a pasta dish, but you can’t mention Casa Isola without recommending the veal parm—make sure to get it.
Casa Isola is located at 1418 20th Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, visit their official website.
La Giulietta
Ironside’s La Giulietta prides itself on international cuisine, and the internationally inspired café doesn’t disappoint with its small-yet-mighty selection of pastas. We aren’t kidding about small and mighty: There are only two pastas are the current menu—the pappardelle Bolognese and the maccheroni al sugo Giulietta (pulled beef ragu)—and both are winners. Before you leave, make sure to stock up on pastries like Nutella croissants.
La Giulietta is located at 7580 NW 4th Court, Miami, FL 33138. For more information, visit their official Instagram.

Osteria Del Teatro
Over on South Beach, Osteria Del Teatro is home to one of the largest menus in town—and that includes pasta selections. Opt for traditional bites like the rigatoni amatriciana or the spaghetti puttanesca or get out of your comfort zone with black squid ink linguine with crab meat and curry or homemade fettuccine with jumbo tiger shrimp and a creamy lobster sauce. Either way, Osteria Del Teatro will wow you.
