From its inventive take on classic dishes to its warm, modern ambiance, Sparrow Italia has quickly become a must-visit destination for food lovers in the city.

A Taste of Italy, Miami Style
Sparrow Italia isn’t just another Italian restaurant. It’s a testament to the Italian ethos of “l’arte d’arrangiarsi”—the art of making something extraordinary out of seemingly simple ingredients. Here, the kitchen brings together the freshest, most sustainable produce, handpicked seafood, and the finest meats to create dishes that are both luxurious and comforting.
At the core of the restaurant’s concept is the timeless Italian tradition of enjoying meals in the company of friends and family. The design echoes this philosophy with a chic, yet approachable atmosphere that balances modern European sophistication with rustic charm. The vibe is sophisticated, yet welcoming, inviting guests to linger over their meals and savor the moment.
A Feast for the Senses

Sparrow Italia’s expansive menu showcases a selection of handcrafted pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and Italian classics with creative twists. Each dish is a celebration of bold flavors and fresh ingredients, expertly prepared to deliver an unforgettable dining experience.
For Starters, A Perfect Beginning
The B.I.G. Meatball is a showstopper—half a pound of tender A5 wagyu, served with arrabiata sauce, whipped ricotta, and fresh basil. It’s a dish that hits all the right notes: savory, creamy, and with just the right amount of heat. For something lighter, the Crispy Arancini brings together wild mushroom risotto, fontina, and black truffle, delivering a crunchy exterior and velvety interior that will have you coming back for more.
Seafood lovers will rejoice in the Grilled Octopus, tender and perfectly charred, paired with a zesty red pepper crema and a sofrito made with capers and taggiasca olives. It’s a dish that beautifully marries smoky flavors with the brininess of the sea.
Classic Pasta, Reinvented
Pasta at Sparrow Italia is a celebration of simplicity and flavor. The Wagyu Bolognese is a rich, meaty dish served with orecchiette, calabrian chili flakes, and a generous sprinkle of pecorino. For a more indulgent choice, the Truffle Cacio e Pepe features spaghetti with toasted cracked pepper, black truffle, and pecorino, a perfect balance of creamy and earthy flavors.
For those craving something with a bit more heat, the Mikey’s Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka delivers a punch of flavor with a spicy kick from calabrian chili, all softened by the smooth richness of bufala mozzarella and a dash of basil.
Pizzas That Wow
Their Truffle Pizza combines mascarpone, fior di latte, gouda, and fresh black truffle for a luxurious take on a classic favorite. But if you’re looking for something truly unique, the A5 Wagyu Meatball Pizza is a must-try—topped with truffle gouda, parmesan, fresno chili, onions, and fennel pollen, it’s a perfect marriage of rich flavors.
For the Steak Enthusiast
Sparrow Italia doesn’t just serve great Italian food; it also serves exceptional steaks. The restaurant’s butcher’s reserve features cuts from some of the best beef producers in the world. The Prime Bone-In Cowgirl Ribeye and the A5 Wagyu Filet are both exceptional choices for anyone who loves steak with a side of Italian flair. Each cut is prepared with care, bringing out the rich, buttery flavors of the meat, while complementing the bold, Mediterranean-inspired sides.
A Sweet Finish
No Italian meal is complete without a decadent dessert, and Sparrow Italia certainly doesn’t disappoint. The Sparrow Hazelnut Rocher is a sublime combination of crispy feuilletine, toasted hazelnut, and Nutella cream, while the Tiramisu is made with the finest cinque stelle mascarpone, espresso, and amaretto for a classic dessert that’s executed to perfection.
For something refreshing, try the Citrus Olive Oil Cake, a light yet flavorful treat paired with passionfruit sorbet, offering a sweet and citrusy finish to your meal.
