    Absolutely the best Italian food in Miami. Having just returned from Italy we couldn't stop raving about the food at Merli Amor. It was definetly better than anything we had in Italy. And the service is superior. Everyone was super friendly, courteous, and attentive. We really enjoyed that the manager was not only greeting customers, but also helping to bus tables, deliver food, and engage personally with each table throughout the evening. For having been open for 10 years, the interior of the restaurant looks brand new. Everything was extremely clean and showed no signs that it was an active restaurant. We are already talking about when our next visit will be and what new dishes we are looking forward to trying.

    The meal we had with three homemade pastas was delicious. Although the appearance outside the restaurant doesn’t look very appealing, the dining room is in back and it’s neat, clean, bright and cozy.

    One of those small restaurants that understands the value and quality of food. Fuss-free, no frills, just good food. Not cramped with tables and therefore not overloaded with people. No loud music; therefore, time With friends and good conversations.

    Merli Amor Di Pasta Fresh made pasta! Made in the store pasta!!! Music, lighting, ambiance ++ Everything was intentional. Service was attentive but not intrusive. 18% service charge is included AND clearly marked. I don’t mind this. Wine selection was perfect for the coziness of the space. The real test was how did the leftover lasagna taste Day 2. I believe Lasagna always tastes better day 2. It was was the best leftover lasagna I have ever had.
