Best New Restaurant (Miami Dade)
Who knew a little nook — recoveco in Spanish — could hold so much flavor? Recoveco is an intimate South Miami restaurant helmed by rising star chefs Maria Teresa Gallina and Nico Martinez. The seasonal menu is refreshingly concise, with just around nine dishes including dessert. But every single one is a standout, a masterclass in balance and creativity, showcasing bold flavors with elegant restraint. Add in expertly curated wine pours from sommelier Shannon Gable, and you’ve got a cozy, eclectic space that’s quietly redefining the local dining scene. Recoveco might be small, but it’s easily one of our favorite newcomers.
