Recently, the condos along the Miami River have been giving birth to bars and restos as if it were babymaking season. And this Brickell-area branch of the Graziano’s chain is one of the latest to pop up. A wine bar and bistro, it’s overflowing with both boozy and foodie possibilities.
The Pinecrest Grazie Café closed its doors just as carpenters were securing the final cherry-wood panels that would form the visual foundation of a handsome new Grazie Italian Cuisine on South Beach. The 75-seat dining room is lushly comfortable with those warm wood walls and soft lights emanating an orange-hued glow. Grazie’s menu is limited, […]
You might know Rino Cerbone as the frontman for the South Florida band Stellar Revival. Gastronomes, however, know him for his take on Italian fare at Heritage, his hidden gem nestled in an unassuming building on the southern outskirts of Flagler Village in Fort Lauderdale. Here Cerbone showcases his family’s recipes with a short and […]

At Il Gabbiano, brothers Gino and Fernando Masci march out a succession of solidly, sometimes stunningly satisfying traditional Italian fare. The siblings come to Miami by way of their hometown of Abruzzi, Italy, with a 26-year stopover as owners of Greenwich Village’s renowned Il Mulino. They, along with Luigi Tullio, have re-created the magic here […]
This quaintly appointed Tuscan-style trattoria is a gem. The menu and cuisine are as elemental as can be, chef/owner Neal Cooper favoring fresh, quality ingredients over complicated cooking techniques. Actually there’s no cooking involved when it comes to cold appetizers of prosciutto, bresaola, and beef carpaccio, all lavishly portioned and plated in unadulterated fashion. Caprese […]
Sure, there’s another outpost of New York’s Il Mulino in Sunny Isles Beach, but why shlep there when the team behind it opened a sleek, whitewashed sibling in SoFi? Complimentary antipasti come in many forms: a tray of freshly baked bread, Italian sausage, spiced fried zucchini, and bruschetta with mussels. This is just the beginning. […]
Hey there, Mr. I-Used-to-Have-a-Bottomless-Expense-Account. Back then, you would breeze into Il Mulino like a big shot, thumb through the wine list, and choose one of the vintage reserves. Plus, you’ll still have your classic Manhattan cocktail — for chrissakes, a man’s gotta live. And if you’re polite, there’s a good chance you’ll be served a […]

This downtown haunt is home to amazing cocktails, delicious pastas, raw-bar options, and fluffy Parker House rolls that taste like pillows from heaven. Owners Will Thompson and Carey Hynes moved to Miami in 2018 to open a chic tropical bar that was an instant hit with locals. It remains a perfect spot for first dates, […]
The staff at Joey’s knows the names of its regular customers and their favorite dishes and signature wines. The servers still recommend the specials, mostly because they change daily and are always worth trying. It’s that kind of place. Joey’s, established in 2008, was one of the few restaurants to inhabit Wynwood long before the […]
Garlic knots garlic knots garlic knots. If you’re not a connoisseur of all things Italian – you may not be familiar with these greasy, doughy, pungent balls of perfection. Kings County Pizza & Heroes has what’s arguable North Miami Beach’s best Brooklyn-style slice, AND they serve up fresh-baked garlic knots to boot. That alone is […]
Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts. Your flight to Florence via Capri, Sicily, and Rome is about to depart. That’s what a visit to La Centrale, the three-level food hall celebrating all things Italian, simulates. On the first floor, choose from Italian pastries such as cannoli and torta della nonna. Perhaps more to […]

The menu hardly breaks away from budget-Italian norms, but when it comes to providing fresh, tasty, uncomplicated fare at an appealingly affordable price, La Gastronomia is as good as it gets. Thin-crust pizzas and fresh pastas don’t disappoint, but two Mediterranean fish, the orata (sea bream) and spigola (sea bass), get flown in every Wednesday […]
Napoli-born and raised chef/owner Giovanni Gagliardi, dubbed La Leggenda (the Legend) by friends in Italy for his pizzaiolo skills, is making some of the best Neapolitan-style pies in South Florida. Gagliardi performs his magic in a small space tucked away near the eastern terminus of Española Way, where his domed, wood-fueled oven turns out from-scratch […]
The eight indoor and eight outdoor tables are nearly always taken, which has been true since this little Italian charmer opened in January 2003. And why not? La Locanda serves simple, homespun Italian fare at affordable rates. It’s an oasis in a sea of glitzy, overpriced SoBe touristaurants. Hits include eggy strands of homemade “guitar […]
