A few weeks ago I stayed some days in Miami with my family. More or less by coincidence we found Cerione's the first night. It isn't located in the centre of the city, but more at the north side of Miami Beach. We had some drinks and some snacks like calamari and garlic rolls. What a great taste! And with a very friendly service-staff!
The second evening in Miami, we went to the art deco district. Over there we couldn't find a restaurant that seemed promising (being from the Netherlands, Europe, we got bored with the bad American cuisine very quick: to fat, poorly prepared, bad ingredients and in Miami: unfriendly service). So we decided to go back to Cerione's again. An excellent choice. We were with 8 people so we ordered quite a few different dishes: seafood pasta, pizza, salads, chicken and veal dishes like ossobuco. Really everything we ordered tasted absolutely great!! We found out that the chef got a lot of recipes from his Italian grandmother. That is something you can taste, no 'heavy' or over-creamy tasting food (like a lot of American chefs seem to prepare), but well prepared real authentic and rich Italian food with super ingredients! The wines we had were also really good and surprisingly sharp priced. And again: the most friendly service one could wish for.
Usually I don't write a lot about my holliday-experiences, but this time I really wanted to. I think people should know about this small, simple but nice looking Italian cafe with beautiful food and friendly waitresses.
