Soya & Pomodoro
120 NE 1st St
Miami, FL 33132
There exists an earnest, unpretentious beauty to Soya, like some strangely seductive and rustic trattoria you might accidentally stumble upon on an ancient cobblestone side street of Venice. Simple food made with love is the motto here, and the very first bites of melanzane alla parmigiana, cleanly fried eggplant sprightly sauced and cheesed, makes that sentiment seem sincere. More uncontrived pleasures include ravioli pillows of minced porcini mushrooms and ricotta cheese, fresh crêpes (camilloni) rolled with spinach and ricotta, and bistecca con pepperoni e capperi, a juicy, pan-seared sirloin steak sided by roasted red peppers, capers, and garlic, and served with roasted potatoes. All lunches come with a basket of bread and house salad, and everything costs less than $10 (excepting salmon and steaks, which top out at $11). Eminently drinkable wines are similarly affordable, homemade tiramisu is wondrously soft, and service is amiable and attentive. The lone gripe about Soya & Pomodoro is that its mainly a breakfast and lunch place; its open for dinner only Thursday nights -- when local musicians play their instruments and a bohemian rhapsody rouses moribund downtown from its slumber until well past midnight.
