Cook Up Miami

This was arguably one of the best meals I had during my trip to Miami! Flor Z. was friendly and provided great service. The food was spectacular with the tenderest and most flavorful steak. The risotto I ordered was second to none, and overall, it is a small but intimate restaurant. The only thing I have to complain about was that the restaurant was abnormally warm, which made it a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, it would have been the perfect experience. However, I would definitely come again and I highly recommend it.

The staff is incredibly kind! I wanted to have an Aperol Spritz—in a wine bar, silly me—and the waiter said he’d take care of it. A few minutes later, I saw him coming back on a scooter with a sealed bottle of Aperol in his hand… truly a 5-star service! :)

This is definitely a hidden gem. Hidden from the crazyness of South Beach, this warm welcoming restaurant serves amazing plates of food. It’s very small so get there early.We loved the food and the ambiance.

Very cute spot serving great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Absolutely loved the beef empanadas they have here - fried is better than baked for sure. The risottos did take over an hour to get to our table so heads up that if there are a lot of parties, you may be waiting a very long time. They did compensate us with some free fries while we waited which was appreciated. The shrimp risotto was delicious, maybe slightly too much butter/oil as youll see in the photo but of all the places i tried in Miami beach, this is the only one id wholeheartedly recommend. Thanks cook up staff for a great meal!

We had a wonderful experience! Florencia, our server, was amazing—she understood us perfectly and made everything so easy. The food was outstanding, from the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was absolutely delicious. The presentation, the flavors, and the service were all top-notch. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
