Kanoli

An all-day Italian and seafood spot on Ocean Drive with sidewalk tables and live flamenco or salsa every night.

Checked October 2026

For groups, birthdays and anyone who wants dinner with a show on Ocean Drive. The trade-off: it's a loud, tourist-strip night out, so if you want a quiet Italian meal, book an indoor table or go elsewhere.

The nightly show

Monday through Thursday, the entertainment is flamenco guitar and dance, plus a belly dancer. Friday through Sunday it switches to live salsa and merengue, and dinner tends to turn into dancing. That rhythm is the whole point here, so plan your night around it. Want the show? Sit on the terrace or along the sidewalk. Want to hear each other talk? The restaurant itself suggests the indoor room for something quieter and more private. It's open late every day, until 1 am Monday to Thursday and 1:30 am Friday through Sunday.

What to order

The menu leans seafood more than red-sauce Italian. The dishes the restaurant pushes are steamed mussels, lobster ravioli, pan-seared boneless branzino, grilled salmon, king crab legs and a seafood mixed grill, with filet mignon and chicken and shrimp for the land side. Prices sit at $$, which is reasonable for Ocean Drive. It also does breakfast from 8 am and brunch, so it works for a beachside morning before the crowds show up. A 4.7 from about 3,100 Google reviews is a strong showing for this stretch of the strip.

The daily deals

Specials rotate by day and run from 8 am to 9 pm, so the cheap drinks are an early-evening thing. Recent examples: buy-one-get-one margaritas with 20% off nachos and tacos, half-price sangria pitchers with 20% off paella, two-for-one mojitos, Miami Vices and piña coladas with 20% off steak, and Sunday draft beer deals with $35 beer buckets. Mondays have run buy-two-get-one cocktails. The lineup changes, so check the specials page before you pick a night. Pair a deal with the early part of the show and you get the most out of the visit.

Reservations

Reservations are taken online, and there's a separate inquiry form for birthdays, rehearsal dinners and corporate groups.

Good to know

Daily drink and food specials only run from 8 am to 9 pm, so order before 9 if you want the deal.
