Macchialina operates at 820 Alton Road on the residential west side of South Beach, running dinner service nightly and Sunday brunch. Chef Michael Pirolo has led the kitchen since opening in 2012. The restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition and has built a consistent following among residents and regular visitors. The format is a rustic Italian taverna: intimate, unhurried, and focused on the food.

The dining room features tufted leather banquettes, antique brick walls, and handcrafted wood tables. A covered outdoor patio added during renovation expanded the capacity without changing the character of the space. The bar runs an almost entirely Italian wine list alongside a serious amari program and house-infused grappas. Fluke, a bar concept tucked inside the restaurant, operates with crudos, martinis, and bar bites as a standalone option before or after dinner.

Handmade pasta is the core of the menu. The selection rotates seasonally and typically includes six options alongside antipasti, proteins, and desserts. Consistent dishes include polenta, spaghetti with pomodoro, cacio e pepe, scialatielli with baby octopus, veal parmigiana, and branzino. The tiramisu is finished with dulce de leche cream and espresso granita. A chef's tasting menu is available. The wine list focuses on lesser-known Italian varietals and biodynamic producers.
