Il Gabbiano

A formal Northern Italian restaurant at the foot of One Miami on Biscayne Boulevard, with a terrace looking out over the water.

Revisado octubre de 2026

For anniversaries, client lunches and anyone who wants proper Italian with a waterfront view. The trade-off is the bill: it sits at the top of the price scale, and the website won't tell you the numbers ahead of time.

The terrace

The waterfront terrace is the reason to book here over the other Downtown Italian rooms. Il Gabbiano sits at the base of One Miami on South Biscayne Boulevard, and the outdoor tables look out over the water. Inside, the room is posh and on the formal side. Google sums up the cooking as refined Northern Italian, and the restaurant calls itself fine Italian dining, so expect classic plates done carefully rather than anything chasing a trend. It holds 4.4 from about 1,600 Google reviews, which is solid for a place charging this much. Ask for a terrace table when you call.

Lunch, dinner or the preset menu

Lunch starts at noon on weekdays, which makes this a strong business-lunch pick in Downtown if someone else is paying. Service runs straight through to 11 pm Monday through Saturday. Saturday opens later, at 1:30 pm, and Sunday it's closed entirely, so weekend plans need a little thought. The site lists separate lunch and dinner menus plus preset menus, and the restaurant handles events too. If you're organizing a birthday or a work dinner for a group, a preset menu is the way to keep the bill predictable and skip the ordering negotiation at the table.

Booking and the bill

Four dollar signs is the top of the scale, so treat this as a special-occasion or expense-account meal. Prices aren't posted on the website, which means you'll find out the damage once you're seated. Reservations go through the phone: the restaurant asks you to call rather than book online. The late-night label is generous. The kitchen wraps up at 11 pm, late for a Downtown weeknight but not Miami late, so it works for a post-show dinner and not much after that. Dress to match the room, which leans polished.

Bueno saberlo

Closed Sundays, and Saturday doesn't open until 1:30 pm, so no Saturday lunch at noon.
