The place
Cèrto Italian Restaurant & Private Events is an Italian restaurant at 1200 SW 57th Ave in West Miami, Florida 33144, just west of Coral Gables. The kitchen serves wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, fresh house-made pasta, and Italian seafood, with a full wine bar and a private events room on site. Signature dishes include Fettuccine Bolognese, Cacio e Pepe con Tartufo Nero finished with black truffle, Risotto al Tartufo, Ossobuco di Vitello, and Branzino allo Zafferano. Cèrto holds a 4.9-star rating on Google across more than 1,795 reviews and was nominated for Best New Restaurant in Miami by the Miami Herald. The restaurant offers dine-in, takeout, and delivery, accepts reservations through OpenTable, and hosts private parties in its on-site events room. Phone: (305) 456-3200.
Tucked into a quiet stretch of SW 57th Avenue on the West Miami–Coral Gables line, Cèrto is the kind of neighborhood Italian room locals guard a little jealously. The dining room is warm and unfussy, the bar pours a serious wine list, and an adjoining events space turns the venue into one of the area's go-to private-party rooms for birthdays, rehearsal dinners, and corporate gatherings.
Order the Cacio e Pepe con Tartufo Nero — finished tableside-warm with shaved black truffle — alongside the Fettuccine Bolognese and a Risotto al Tartufo. From the wood-fired oven, the Margherita and the Di Parma (prosciutto di Parma + arugula) are the benchmarks. Heartier appetites lean on the Ossobuco di Vitello, Branzino allo Zafferano, and the lamb shank over spinach risotto. Start with Carpaccio di Polipo or Involtini di Melanzane.
Reservations are recommended on weekends and bookable through OpenTable or by phone at (305) 456-3200. Cèrto offers takeout and third-party delivery, hosts brunch service, and operates a private events room — call ahead for buyout pricing. Free parking is available on-site and along the surrounding side streets.
