Il Pastaiolo
Neapolitan trattoria that has been making handmade pasta on Collins Ave since 1999. Everything is made in-house daily: pasta, bread, and desserts. The outdoor terrace on Collins Ave is a people-watching anchor, and the price point remains accessible by South Beach standards.
Only you see this. What you ordered, what you'd order again, the table to ask for.

The Vibe
Il Pastaiolo has been feeding Collins Ave since 1999 — handmade pasta, house-baked bread, and grandma's meatballs in a setting that's more trattoria than trend. The outdoor terrace makes for solid people-watching without Ocean Drive's circus energy.
