Petralunga

We visited Petralunga and had a very pleasant experience. We ordered several dishes to share and overall we were satisfied. The Cacio e Pepe stood out for its great texture and a creamy, well-balanced flavor. The burrata was fresh, pairing nicely with the bread and olive oil. The fried calamari were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not greasy at all — a solid start to the meal. The tuna tartare was fresh, beautifully presented, and had a clean flavor. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and good quality dishes. A recommended spot for a relaxed meal with Italian flavor.

We drove through the area to try these restaurants we noticed, which are popular among Italian food fans. They recommended specific pastas and their pizza. It was quite a drive for me since I was in Doral and it was pouring rain, but it was definitely worth the trip. If you’re nearby, try the thin-crust pizza—it's worth it even if you’re not close by. You won't be disappointed, and you can also take a walk along the marina and enjoy a bit of North Bay Village.

Petralunga is one of those places that stays on your mind after you leave. The standout is the thin, crispy pizza, which you order first and then compare all other pizzas to. Their simple yet really good fresh lemonade is perfect, especially when enjoyed outdoors overlooking the marina and bay. It’s on the pricier side for casual dining, making it more suitable for “date night” or special outings with friends rather than a regular weeknight dinner. However, with the scenic water views, the Italian pizza-and-cocktail atmosphere, and that fantastic crust, it definitely deserves a solid 4 stars.
