The most romantic restaurants in Miami for your next date night

Real-life chef couple Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer own and operate this cozy Little Haiti spot that oozes with charm. If your date doesn’t make you swoon, watching these two cook together will. Sit side by side at the counter while you slurp excellent fresh pasta together and trade sips of your organic wines. Bonus: The tightly edited menu keeps quarrelsome couples from agonizing over dishes they’ll both like.

Order this: A bowl of the chilled tagliolini nero with king crab shows off exactly why this strip mall spot earned its Michelin star. Share an order of those caviar-topped potato skins, too—trust us.

Glowing under bistro lights, Sunny's transforms an unassuming industrial Little River corner into a romantic escape. The dining room's vintage mirrors and French doors create the perfect backdrop for lingering over handmade pasta and perfectly aged steaks. Out on the tree-shaded patio, couples share oysters and cocktails while inside, the warm lighting makes every booth feel like your own private corner of Miami. Between the thoughtful wine list and a menu that ranges from caviar service to comforting Parker House rolls, it's designed for those nights when you want to lean in close and take your time with someone special.

Order this: The dry-aged KC Strip proves why classics never go out of style, while the agnolotti with blue crab and saffron harkens back to the restaurant’s Jaguar Sun roots.

It's dinner by candlelight, only this candle is made out of butter, and it melts into a lovely aromatic pool for slathering onto thick, spongy slices of fresh-baked bread. And that's just the beginning of a meal at Erba, Chef Niven Patel's latest Italian-inspired concept in Coral Gables. Pastas feature prominently here, but the veg dishes (all sourced from Chef's farm down in Homestead) are not to be overlooked. A gorgeous cascading chandelier and the restaurant's warm, richly textured design complement the meal—and your dreamy date.

Order this: Agnolotti swimming in beef broth with melting beef cheek morsels is a must, plus ricotta ravioli under white truffle cream sauce is decadent date-night perfection.
