Between Cuban cantinero Julio Cabrera’s daiquiris and chef Michelle Bernstein’s fare, there’s something uniquely Miami about Cafe La Trova. Bernstein’s comfort food is all-around tempting; she works to meet the foodie fantasies of her guests, whether they’re in search of elaborate dishes or a traditional tres leches dessert. Cabrera’s cantineros take pride in the art […]
Restaurant in Miami New Times
Showing 353 - 374 of 2475Steve Martorano is, bar none, Broward County’s most colorful restaurateur. For more than two decades, Cafe Martorano has been turning out Philadelphia-style Italian comfort food with a side of entertainment. Though its old-school menu of Italian classics – such as chicken cacciatore and pappardelle with sausage – are delicious, regulars flock to the restaurant for […]
Café Maurice enjoyed a successful 11-year run in Los Angeles before relocating to South Beach — more specifically, to the spot held by longtime local bistro L’Entrecote de Paris. Owners David Meunier, Jean Michel Collet, and executive chef Maurice Azoulay have left L’Entrecote’s laminated bar and back-room mural and mirrors intact. The rest of the […]
An impossibly tiny kitchen at this modest, unassuming eatery consistently turns out simple, hearty, satisfying French bistro fare at affordable prices. The bistro has been a staple in South Miami for more than two decades, serving delicious French cuisine inside a small yet intimate restaurant in an unassuming, blue awning-lined strip mall on Red Road. […]
The menu boasts a mixture of cuisines (some decidedly Italian, while others have more of a French feel). The Italian influence is undeniable in the perfectly seasoned “bruschetta” ($8.95), and the two caprese options — the traditional salad (tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil), or the sandwich version ($8.50). But don’t stop in Italy, or you’ll […]
Opened in 1993, Café Prima Pasta is still almost always busy, and the welcome is as personal as it was when the place was an eighth of its current size. The pastas, breads, and desserts are still house-made. Stand-out pasta dishes include black linguine with a choice of three sauces (zesty marinara, spicy fra diavolo, […]
Tres Marias are always better than uno – just ask Café Que Rico’s signature Cafe Tres Marias Arabica bean blend. Their café con leche ($1.50) has been ranked Miami’s best, and edible accompaniments range from classic ham and cheese croissants ($2.95) and pan con bistec ($7.50) to house specialty ensalada “Tuna Tony” (albacore tuna on […]
The fascination with tiny trattorias continues, as evidenced by the brisk business at this 40-seater. Though the service is warm and personable, homemade bread, a decent house wine, and a pleasant selection of Italian meat and fish staples, such as osso buco and salmon with saut
This teeny, tiny little Spanish outpost in Edgewater earns its moniker (Rincon Escondido, roughly translated, means secret corner). Tucked away in a strip mall, they serve up tasty tapas and Spanish wine at budget-friendly prices. From various montaditos to tortilla Dde patatas to jam

Opened in 2006, Cafetto is a French-style coffee shop with a local flavor. On any given morning, owners Anne-Marie and Oliver can be found behind the counter serving freshly roasted java while chatting up the mostly local clientele. There are eight coffee flavors to choose from, including Jamaican rum, tiramisu, and cinnamon. There’s also an […]
Ask anyone about Caffe Abbracci and the word “family” will likely come up. And no wonder: The doted-upon Italian restaurant has maintained its consistently excellent reputation for more than three decades, thanks to its late founder, revered restaurateur Nino Pernetti, who died from COVID complications in 2022 at age 76. The restaurant gracefully carries on […]
Funk is the word at Caffe Vialetto. No, not the music genre, but rather a signature dessert that folks just can’t get enough of. Think tiramisu spruced up with some Heath Bar crunch. What’s more, the treat arrives in a pool of blueberry sauce and condensed milk. There are plenty of other decadent items to […]
Miami isn’t exactly brimming with great Thai restaurants, which is partly why Cake Thai Kitchen is such a novelty. At the front of the tiny eatery, crammed into a derelict Biscayne Boulevard strip mall, stands a buffet station that offers lemongrass-rubbed roasted chicken alongside roasted rice studded with crisp shallots and fried pork. Sometimes it’s […]
Camila’s Restaurant is a casual eatery located on a busy downtown street corner. The big, open room with white tile floors and wooden tables does not provide much in terms of ambiance. But the all-you-can-eat buffet ($11.45) offers a large selection that includes sautéed chicken, beef stew, rice, black beans, roasted pork, steamed vegetables, salad, […]
