This is a great restaurant with wonderful service, romantic ambiance, and great quality food. I went as a couple and loved it and I can’t wait to return as a family!

Very tasty food. Large menu with many options. The portions are super huge so we ordered way too much food. We highly recommend this great restaurant, but order to share!

Another wonderful meal at CRUST. upon entering we were greeted by Anita, who makes everyone feel special. The service was top notch as always. The food was spectacular. The freshness of the ingredients, the manner in which they’re prepared, the abundant portions make every choice...memorable. We enjoyed seafood risotto, gnocchi and several pasta dishes. They all arrived in a timely manner and piping hot from the kitchen. Zeppoles we’re shared at meals end to sweeten the memory. Run don’t walk to CRUST.More

Shoutout to Chris for being such a good host! He took great care of us even though I made a mistake in the OpenTable reservation. We ordered fried calamari and shared a Mediterranean pizza. We will come back again with friends and family.

Owned and operated by Chef Klime Kovaceski and his wife Anita, and open since 2015, CRUST Miami is an Italian restaurant located near North River Drive & 5th Street. My Summary: Hospitality & Service - very nice Ambiance - bar/bistro simple tables & chairs Parking...- very limited Pay-by-phone (Valet $15) Bar - wine & beer only Food/prices - HUGE portions (appetizers, salads, entrees etc) at moderate prices Quality - good (but overrated) We tried the following items: - - Pizza - good fresh baked crust; sauce lacked pizzeria taste/seasonings; cheese/toppings good - - Cesar salad - VERY large salad (enough for 3-4 people); tasty but lacked enough dressing and parmesan shavings were mediocre - - Eggplant parmigiana appetizer - SUBPAR - a HUGE portion (possibly the LARGEST APPETIZER than I’ve ever seen; enough for 4-5 people) covered in thick cheese and overly sweet tomato sauce & the eggplant was over breaded & was difficult to find/taste under large amounts of cheese and sauce - - Chicken Parmigiana - Good (but hardly one of “America’s Best”); this was a 3-4 pound entree (close to 1 pound of linguine covered in ascending order: DOUBLE LARGE chicken breasts, a lot of sauce, & A LOT of mozzarella cheese); it was served piping hot, the tomato sauce more sweet than (Italian) seasoned, and the cheese a bit overpowering CRUST, located in an area with inadequate street parking, struck me as a neighborhood type establishment where many/most of the dinners walked/ride-shared from the surrounding areas. The menu has a lot of choices, the food is good (but not great), and the value is good (& the food portions are GIGANTIC!). It’s a pleasant place for dinning (either indoors, or outdoor patio), though NOT fit for foodies in search of top notch Italian cuisine.More

I've known Kline, the chef and owner for at least 10 years because I've done work for him in tech especially before he even opened the joint but that's just some history. Throughout the years he has called me to help him with his network,...phone system and some. He's the nicest chef I've known for a long time. He's always insisted in me trying the food and I have tried a few pies here and there and so I'd be the first to tell you that the pizza is unquestionably some of the best in the nation. Tonight I had a concert nearby and decided to swing by and try some of the pasta so let's talk about what I had for dinner... Garlic rolls: an order of three mouthwatering garlic rolls that could easily be shared because they're very generous with portions here. Shrimp cakes: lightly breaded shrimp cakes sitting on tomato coulis and lemon horseradish mayo. The cakes alone are very flavorful but dip it in the sauce and it elevates it to a whole new level. Not too fishy and definitely not bland, you can taste the shrimp in the mix without a doubt. Seafood linguine: shrimp, mussels, calamari, fish and clams on a olive oil and garlic sauce by choice because you could choose a creamy, Alfredo, pink or marinara sauce when you order. All seafood was fresh, not chewy, pasta cooked al dente and sauce was light just like I wanted. I didn't have room for the limoncello cake that I had every intention to try but I'll leave it for my next visit. Andres, the bartender/waiter was most courteous and attentive and Kline's wife was also very welcoming and cordial. I didn't expect any less from this gem of an establishment. Needless to say, an amazing dining experience.More

I loved everything about this spot and it was my first time! The ambiance, the service, the vibe. All top. Super dog friendly and pleasant despite a bit of a party street. Had a pizza and chicken parm. Both big enough to share. Flavor of...the chicken parm was off the charts. Delicious sauce. Amazing pasta. Ate leftovers entire next day too!!! Love it.

A family restaurant with a homie feel. Food is great. Menu prices are very reasonable and portions are ginormous. The chicken parm is as good as advertised. Garlic rolls are so addictive, I ordered some just to take home. LOL! Their pies are also some...of the best I've had in South Florida. During my last visit, I made a reservation and took my parents there for my dad's 73rd birthday. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted at the door by the owner, Ms. Anita. She was gracious and very welcoming. Even greeted my dad by his name which was very cool. From the owner to the waiter on down to the busboy, they all make you feel like family when you're there. Service is second to none. Definitely looking forward to going back.More

This is a lovely restaurant with a family feel. There’s something on the menu for everyone, including the kids, and the -rides are reasonable. In fact, more than reasonable given the portion sizes. My wife and I ordered lasagna and veal milanese respectively, and they...were both delicious, but either one would have comfortable fed us both and at least one other person. The sides of vegetables we ordered were completely superfluous.More

The place is very cute and cozy. The portion sizes are huge and it doesn’t take away from the flavor (personally I recommend the lasagna). The pizza and pastas were delicious. The only thing that might be a negative is that they don’t allow you...to make your own pizza or change toppings. I would just check the menu first to make sure there’s something you like.More

We have been hearing about this place for sometime and couldn’t wait to try it when my daughter was in town visiting. We had heard about their chicken parm and their large portions but other than that we didn’t know what to expect. In Miami...when we can get good service OR good ambience OR good food we might come back so it is a rarity to find all of that in one place but this restaurant delivers. We tried the chicken parmigiana , the chicken marsala, and the supreme pizza with a side of grilled zucchini and we topped it all off with Granny Smith apple crumble a la mode. We had leftovers but I have no problems with that. Ill be eating (and enjoying) lunch from Crust all week!More
