After over a decade in Miami, Cipriani has just added another address. The famed Italian brand has just opened a new all-day café and market in Coconut Grove.
The new spot, called Le Specialita Café & Market, is located inside Mr. C Residences. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., it’s a much more casual and leisurely spot than Cipriani’s downtown Miami location. However, it still has its signature polish.
It’s part café, part market, and part restaurant, designed to work just as well for a quick espresso as it does for a sit-down meal.

Inside the Bright Two-Story Space
The two-story space is bright and open, with glass walls, high ceilings, and subtle nautical references that nod to the Grove’s waterfront setting.
While the format is more relaxed than Cipriani’s downtown dining room, the details still feel familiar, with white tablecloths and staff moving through the room rather than staying behind a counter.

What’s on the Menu
At the entrance, a glass display showcases pastries and desserts, from classic croissants to more indulgent options, all available to grab and go or order tableside alongside espresso drinks. The menu then expands into a full all-day offering, with salads, panini made on house-made focaccia, pizza, and made-to-order pastas.
Cipriani’s well-known egg pasta appears in several variations, paired with seafood, vegetables, and traditional sauces.
Beyond the dining area, the market component plays a central role. Shelves are stocked with Cipriani-brand products, including packaged pasta, olive oil, and bottled Bellinis, alongside a salumeria counter and a gelato station that round out the space.

From Venice to Miami
Cipriani traces its origins to Venice, where Harry’s Bar opened in 1931 under Giuseppe Cipriani and is widely credited with inventing the Bellini. The brand has since grown into a global hospitality group with more than 40 locations, including several in Miami.
“We are excited to share our love for Italian cuisine and create an inviting space for both locals and residents,” said Ignazio Cipriani, president of Mr. C Hotels and Residences. “Le Specialità Café & Market will offer a blend of Italian tradition and modern luxury in Coconut Grove.”
This is the second spot the Cipriani brand has opened since last year, when it opened its lounge, The Living Room, at the base of the Icon tower.
