La Trattoria Ocean Drive

An Italian-Miami bistro on Ocean Drive serving breakfast, pasta, pizza and seafood from 8 am to midnight, every day.

Geprüft Oktober 2026

Good for a beachside meal at almost any hour without Ocean Drive's usual price shock. The trade-off is the setting: it's a tourist strip, and the crowd and street noise come with the view.

What to order

The Paella Imperiale is the dish guests keep naming in the reviews the restaurant posts on its own site, and the seafood grill comes up too. The menu leans Italian with a Miami accent: fresh pasta, pizzas, salads, meats and a long seafood list. Drinks get real attention, with craft cocktails and a frozen piña colada that earns its own shout-out. Prices sit at $$, which is fair for an oceanfront strip where plenty of neighbors charge more. Stick to seafood and pasta and you're ordering what most diners seem happiest with.

Breakfast to midnight

Doors open at 8 am and close at midnight, seven days a week, so it works for an early breakfast before the beach or a late plate after a night out. There's a separate breakfast menu, and one reviewer says brunch runs until 1 pm, so confirm if you're cutting it close. Midday brings a lunch special, and there's a happy hour with discounts on food and drinks. The site doesn't list happy hour times, so ask when you sit down. Midnight closing makes it one of the easier sit-down options for a late dinner on this stretch.

The Ocean Drive question

Ocean Drive restaurants have a reputation for tourist pricing and hard-sell hosts, so the numbers here stand out: 4.9 from about 8,500 Google reviews. The testimonials lean heavily on service, with servers and the manager mentioned by name, which tells you where the team puts its effort. It's been open since 2018 at 1244 Ocean Dr, facing the beach. Expect a mostly visitor crowd, because that's who's walking past. Book through the website if you want a set time rather than taking your chances at the door.

Reservierung

No reservations on December 31st, so plan on waiting if you want New Year's Eve dinner here.
