5 Miami Spots Among 100 Best Date Night Restaurants in U.S.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and finding the perfect date-night spot might be a hectic task (unless you book a spot this week with a prix-fixe menu). The perfect location checks all the boxes, from an intimate setting to amazing food, and it's always a plus when the restaurant can create a swirl of romance for special occasions. In addition to New Times' list of the 14 most romantic restaurants in Miami 2025, a new list has arrived to help readers decide on the perfect date night spot.

Yelp has just released its list of the Top 100 Date Night Restaurants in the country and five Miami restaurants have made the cut.

In order to compile the list of 100 spots, Yelp explains its methodology: "We identified businesses in the restaurants and food categories with a large concentration of reviews mentioning words and phrases such as 'date night,' 'romantic,' 'valentine,' and 'anniversary.' We then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews mentioning those keywords between January 1, 2021, and December 1, 2024.'"

Without further ado, below are the five Miami restaurants that are perfect for date night, according to Yelp.

6. Pane e Vino - Miami Beach

Ranking number six and making it into the esteemed top ten, Pane e Vino made a big impression on Yelpers. Its pasta is handmade in the front window, and the staff treats guests like royalty. Even included in Yelp's Top 100 Romantic Restaurants for 2024, the rustic wood plank walls adorned with antique plates, wine bottles, and vintage photos will make date night feel like a romantic Italian countryside dinner. 1450 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-535-9027; paneevinomia.com.

19. Lagniappe - Wynwood/Midtown

This legendary wine bar and jazz lounge on the outskirts of Wynwood and Midtown is a local gem known as a low-key venue to hang out with friends and dates. While the outside is unassuming, Lagniappe has a special charm, a casual yet classy atmosphere paired with live music evokes an evening that's more New Orleans than Miami. This is the perfect spot for a wine and charcuterie pairing. 3425 NE Second Ave., Miami; 305) 576-0108; lagniappehouse.com.

21. Cote Miami - Miami Design District

Coming in number 21 is the popular New York restaurant that's a cross between a Korean barbecue restaurant and a traditional steakhouse. Cote has received various "Best of Miami" awards from New Times, including the latest placement in the Top 100 Restaurants in Miami for 2025 and Best Steak House 2022. The Michelin-starred restaurant offers a selection of Waygu beef, including American Waygu and A5 Japanese Wagyu cooked to order tableside. 3900 NE Second Ave., Miami; 305-434-4668; cotekoreansteakhouse.com/locations/cotemiami.

24. Petralunga - North Bay Village

This Italian establishment offers a quiet and intimate setting plus stunning views of Biscayne Bay, with the North Bay Marina and Miami Beach as a backdrop. While it may have been flying under our radar, Yelpers rave about its selection of authentic Italian food. Highlights on the menu include the cacio e pepe, lobster ravioli, and the black truffle fettuccine.  7601 E. Treasure Dr., Unit Cu-21, North Bay Village; 305-397-8676; petralunga.com.

29. Fratellino Ristorante - Coral Gables

The addition of Fratellino to this list comes as no surprise to New Times, as the restaurant made the Yelp List of Best Eats in the U.S. 2024 list. This charming and authentic Italian eatery is located in Coral Gables and owned by Beto DiCarlo, who has been making his family's recipe for homemade pasta for years. Over the years, its service and food have earned the restaurant nearly 1,800 five-star reviews on Yelp. 264 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables; 786-452-0068; fratellinoristorante.com.

Other Florida restaurants mentioned in the list include Oak and Ola in Tampa, Pia's Trattoria in Gulfport, Nori and the Monroe in Orlando, and George Bistro + Bar in Pensacola.
