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 […]

There are bare-bones restaurants, and there are no-bones restaurants. Then there’s Frankie’s. Parking lots have more ambiance than this square, spare room decorated with a worn Formica counter, faded sports posters, and a rattling cooler full of soft drinks. No booze, no seats (except a couple of benches to park your butt until your order […]
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 […]
Plenty of things can go wrong on a first date, but pizza ain’t one of them. The pizzas, wood-oven-roasted chicken wings, and desserts such as the banana-Nutella panini at Harry’s Pizzeria are creatively crafted, delicious, and affordable. The restaurant’s intimate space and effortlessly cool decor give the place a classic Italian vibe with a few […]

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 […]
Ironside Pizza is a straightforward place that takes its pizza seriously. So much so that they hired a pizzaiolo certified by Italy’s so-called pizza police to oversee pie production. The key is how the dough is stretched: never in the air, and from the center out. What results are pies with supremely thin centers requiring […]
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 […]
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 […]
Since 2017, La Piazzetta has churned out more than two dozen kinds of pies in a space located less than a block north of the Upper Buena Vista complex. Inside, find an Italian-farmhouse setting outfitted with brick and wood walls, wine barrels, and a central pizza oven. At mismatched tables with similarly eclectic chairs, dine […]
At first sight, Lucali, the Miami outpost of Mark Iacono’s famed Brooklyn flagship, looks like a regular pizza joint. Furnishings are unassuming – mismatched tables and chairs, an open kitchen, a working bench manned by T-shirted pizzaiolos – but by candlelight, everything glows. Men in white shine with sweat as they use empty wine bottles […]

This is a classic New York-style pizza joint. There’s no decor aside from the requisite cheese and pepperoni art prints and a flashing neon “open” sign. Hurried servers juggle multiple slices as busy downtown workers expend their half-hour lunch breaks on cheap grub. The first Mario’s opened in 1969, and many branches have followed, with […]
