Review:  I went years ago in the 90's and never forgot the amazing pasta and the best tiramisu I've ever tasted. I went a week ago and it continues to be stellar. Although it could use a remodel, it really feels like an authentic Italian Osteria in a town where so many poor imitations of Italian cuisine are thrown together. the food, service and location all make it an exciting night out for dinner.

Review:  Firstly, it is crowded.  Tables are on top of one another.  I was not impressed.  No ambiance or even music in the background.  The waiter rambled on the menus (as if you could remember what he said).  The desert was right in your face when you walked into the place (unsanitary).  They kept interrupting our dinner, asking how it was?  Very annoying. 

The food was very good, but the price was steep -- very pretentious. I was amazed because they pretend to have class, but in reality they don't.  It was Valentine's Day and you think they would give every woman a rose as they entered the restaurant at the prices they were charging.  Not very good customer-relations.

Many of the New York restaurants do this.  It is a nice token.  My observation is that they are out to make a buck on their reputation, but as far as I am concerned, it was a waste of my money.

Review:  We discovered this restaurant back in the early 90's, before SOBE was SOBE.   It was fantastic then and continues to shine now.  Unpretentious-always inviting.  Everything that you said about the staff and food holds true-a real find in a town that continues to glam it up.  Wonderful!

Review:  While the décor is so-so, the staff is on the ball.  There are dizzying choices of preparation for each dish so take your time deciding.  The food when it comes is yummy.  A comparable experience in New York and elsewhere would be ten dollars less per entree but, hey, this is Sobe.  We thought it was worth a visit.

Review:  Simply the BEST in South Beach. We go there every other Saturday. You are treated like family from arrival to departure. The entire staff is concern with with your well being while in there, they make sure that what every you want they can provide. The food is delicious and it comes in large portions, start with the Asparagus with the Gorgonzola Fondue cheese sauce, the fettucini carbonara is my favorite entre, the warm apple tart or the tiramisu is my preference for dessert. Enjoy

Review:  Where do I start? As soon as we sat down, we were asked if we would like wine about 4 times after insisting that we did not want any.  It all went downhill from there.  I don't usually have appetizers, and again, was asked about 4 times.  I had an entree of pasta with clammeat and vodka sauce, it was horrendous, I was about to be sick and had to leave.  We were given attitude when I asked how much the lobster pasta was that the waiter had rambled as part of the 'special menu'.  Most of the people here are not famous, rather, they are snobby and call out "waiter" as though they have a crown on their head.  I could not wait to get out of this place.  Lastly, the dessert at the door is not hygienic, you don't leave uncovered dessert at the entrance of a restaurant, hence, my reason for not even trying to wash down my horrid pasta with something sweet.  The only good part?  The host took my pasta off the bill after checking with us on our service and if we were satisfied. !

 I was honest and told him I wasn't impressed and my plate was inedible.  He wasn't as rude as the waiter.  When the waiter found out I had complained, he said to my boyfriend "she didn't like the pasta?" in an unimpressed tone, as though I wasn't sitting right there.  He looked insulted, well, at least he wasn't hovering over the toilet bowl as I was later.

If you are planning to go here, do yourself a favor and don't ask for a price, because you will pay a heavy one.
