20 Best Waterfront Restaurants In Miami

If fine Italian dining is your thing, then why not enjoy it on the glistening Miami waterfront where the Biscayne Bay and Miami River meet? Il Gabiano offers all that and more and is loved for its traditional Italian food, incredible wine selection, and unmatched ambiance that make it a perfect splurge.

At Il Gabiano, the minestra, pasta, and risotto are the highlights of the menu with straciatella fiorentina, gnocchi al gorgonzola, and risotto primavera that will transport you straight to Italy. For something a little meatier though, the special veal options — especially the vitello alla zingara, veal with briny capers, juicy tomatoes, and salty anchovies — are sure to please. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with an old-school tiramisu or creamy zabaglione. And when in Rome, do as the Romans do: finish it off with an espresso.
