Casa Tua |
Neatly
tucked away in a secluded
residential area on James Avenue, Casa Tua presents a fresh approach to
dining in Miami Beach. The ground-level dining area has an eighteen-seat
communal chef's table, with a wide-open kitchen area close by, while the
second floor contains a five suite boutique hotel.
Executive
chef Sergio Sigala and sous-chef Gabriela Bergomi combine their talents to
create innovative variations of Italian cuisine in a glamorously unusual
setting that has become the talk of the town in Miami Beach.

Review: This
has to be the worst place ever! The waiter ignored my picture to be
taken with my family, the bread guy looked the other way when he knew
perfectly well I was calling him, when I made my order it was wrong and
the waiter said it was too late, the food took too long, the valet
people ignore you as well after calling them 3 times, my pasta tasted
like lemon mixed with butter, my seat was all wet and they didnt care if
it was, and I had to read the menu with a flashlight. This place is so
awful I will never step in there again. VERY DISSAPOINTED!! |

Review: I
live in New York, Have lived in a number of countries in Europe, and
have been fortunate enough to have eaten in many of the great eateries
in the world. Casa Tua is one of those rare gems that you always go back
to. Sitting at an outside table in spring with a knowledgeable waiter
and sommelier to make suggestions, enjoying the quiet scene with some
good friends ranks as one of the greatest dining experiences in the
world. |

Review: The
prices are exorbitant, and the portions are the smallest I have ever
had. For instance, the rack of lamb entree consists of 2 tiny lamb chops
and minor sides, for a very high price! I am not a big eater, and left
hungry, for about $100 per person, not including wine. Yikes! The
ambiance is nice, but there are much better choices in South Beach. |

Review: I
had no problems with the staff, but the food there is by European
standards just regular Italian food (except for some "minor"
misunderstandings regarding the Italian cuisine on the chef's side)
making the entire experience totally overpriced. |

Review: It's
time for South Beach to get rid of the "I'm too good to be here"
waiters. This charming little restaurant with very well prepared plates
loses points fast because of poor service. Should the owners choose to
change the staff, it could become a great place. |

Review: Having
dined at 5-star restaurants all over the US, I have to say that Casa Tua
is right at the top of my list. The food is wonderful and portion size
is sort of small, which allows you to try a number of things during the
3-4 courses. This is ideal because you'll want to try everything on the
menu after just one bite. The sommelier was extremely helpful and much
to our surprise didn't just recommend the most expensive bottle of wine
on the menu. The wine selection is excellent offering many new and old
world choices as well as prices points for every budget. The service was
impeccable, if not a bit too much at times. But definitely better than
having to chase down a server for a glass of water. I plan on visiting
Casa Tua over and over again. |
