Casola’s sells slices as big as your head. If you take two bites out of one, you can use it as a Halloween mask. Or if you order a wedge of loaded veggie, you can wear it as a fancy Kentucky Derby hat. And during hurricane season, a single triangle of pepperoni can act as […]
On weekends, Catharsis Restaurant and Lounge pulses with the Latin drum beats of Buena Vista Social Club’s “El Cuarto de Tula.” At this 80-seat Little Havana eatery, almost everyone sings along because they all know the lyrics. Partners Hernan Stutzer, Marcelo Malvicino, and Vivian Gonz
A 14-seat bar and an open kitchen bookend the foliated patio dining room, which with tiny white lights wrapped around trees has the look of a rustic winter wonderland. It is at once elegant and comfortable. The cooking philosophy is a clean, basic compilation of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The roasted branzino is prepared with tomatoes, […]
Nobody knows wining and dining like the Italians, and Cibo Wine Bar is a modern, sophisticated take on the centuries-old concept. You could even call it wine heaven, and there’s even an angel involved. Like any good spirit, she takes flight (via harness), procuring bottles of vino for guests. To soak up the celestial spirits, […]

The ingredients do the talking at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne’s clean and classic Italian outpost with a modern twist. Raw fish junkies will melt for the Pacific Coast wild salmon crudo, visually pleasing in shades of pink and green, featuring delicate but generous slices that come nestled beside a manicured micro-herb salad drizzled with Sicilian […]
During the Roaring Twenties in Venice, Italy, a bartender named Giuseppe Cipriani loaned a customer 10,000 lire (about $5,000) after hearing that the man, a wealthy Bostonian named Harry Pickering, was cut off from his fortune after his family found out he was drinking much of his money away. Sure, that was generous for a […]
Klime Kovaceski has been a Miami mainstay since he arrived during the 1980s. His latest effort, Crust, located near the Miami River and Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market, seems more keen on big business than great cooking. The pizza has been specifically designed to stay fresh during a 45-minute delivery and reheat well the […]

As one of Miami’s first true pop-up restaurants, Eating House stands as a culinary gem not just for its creative riff-style menu, but also for its ability to pivot and expand without losing sight of its ethos: delivering simple, well-executed fare. When Miami native and Chopped champ Giorgio Rapicavoli opened in 2011, the popular Coral […]
Since opening on Washington Avenue in 1993, the restaurant’s calling card has been creative Northern Italian cuisine. That hasn’t changed, but nowadays, the restaurants’ fruits, vegetables, and dairy products are organic, beef is grass-fed and hormone-antibiotic free, and a few raw food selections have been added to the menu. Healthier, yes, but those seeking classic […]

Coral Gables mainstay Fiola is a beautiful fine-dining experience with classic Italian fare in Coral Gables. A spinoff of Chef Fabio Trabocchi’s Michelin-starred spot in D.C., the Coral Gables Fiola boasts a Michelin recommendation, and after one meal there curated by executive chef Daniel Ganem, it’ll be obvious why. Though anchored in rich tradition and […]
The fare at the Biltmore’s lesser recognized Fontana consists of melodies simpler than those found at the signature Palme d’Or. The emphasis here is on fine-tuning Italian staples that have been passed from generation to generation: bruschetta, lasagna, chicken with sausages, and broccolini. It’s common Italian/Mediterranean fare that’s handled with an uncommon finesse. À la […]

Though Forte dei Marmi in South Beach is named for the Tuscan seaside town known for its white mountain peaks, the restaurant’s real draw is a softer, serene atmosphere in conjunction with its rustic Italian cuisine. When the tagliolini with crab, cherry tomatoes, and chili oil arrives at the table, it’s obvious the pasta has […]
This South Beach restaurant offers an affordable menu of popular, freshly prepared, fun-to-share foods in a bright and informal setting. It also fills a thus-far neglected niche in the local dining scene: water buffalo cuisine. Mozzarella di bufala is the most familiar of buffalo food products and is offered at Fratelli La Bufala in a […]
Fratelli Lyon serves fare that is really, honestly, literally just like the kind you find in Italy. Heck, many of the products here come from the boot, including olive oil, salumi, Italian DOP cheeses, heirloom legumes, and wines from boutique vintners. And what isn’t shipped from overseas is equally virtuous, such as organically grown produce, […]
