The Comras Company has just inked a deal which will bring Cibo Wine Bar to South Beach.

The completed lease calls for the restaurant to occupy 11,963 square feet of space in a newly constructed freestanding building situated at the entrance of the luxury Continuum condominiums in SoFi. Back in May, a penthouse at the Continuum was sold for $25 million -- making it the most expensive Miami condo.

Cibo Wine Bar, scheduled to open fall of 2013, is the third venue created by Liberty Entertainment Group. The Toronto-based corporation owns the first Cibo Wine Bar, as well as the Coral Gables Athletic Club/Liberty Cafe, and Coral Gables Country Club. The company also owns 11 establishments in Toronto.

Nick Donato, President & CEO of Liberty Entertainment Group says he's looking forward to Cibo's expansion into South Beach. "SoFi is the

restaurant mecca in Miami and one of the fastest growing culinary

destinations in the city."

Cibo Wine Bar in Coral Gables just won a Miami New Times award for "Best Wine Selection"

and was named "Best Restaurant in Coral Gables" in our readers choice

polls.

In addition, chef Massimo Ciannattasio was named "Best Chef in

Miami" by Miami New Times readers.
