Carmen the Restaurant

Simply, chef/owner Carmen Gonzalez’s new place is the most exciting restaurant to open in South Florida in years. The eatery is actually three distinctly different experiences in one: regular restaurant, chef’s dining room, and casual European-style wine bar with some unusually sophisticated bottles, 14 available by the glass, and an absolutely knockout menu of bar […]

Carpaccio

This longstanding anchor tenant of the upscale Bal Harbour shops is beloved by locals and tourists alike for its affordable and unpretentious Italian fare and flawless service. From the moment you sit down (preferably you snag a spot on the lovely outdoor terrace), the staff brings a rack to hang your jacket, shopping bags, and […]

Casa D’Angelo

Angelo and Denise Elia have run Casa D’Angelo for more than two decades. It’s often the first restaurant locals think of for birthdays or anniversaries, entertaining out-of-town guests, and Friday-night dates – and for good reason. The classic Tuscan menu includes meat and pasta dishes, a long list of specials that changes nightly, and a […]

Casa Isola Osteria

When Pubbelly Noodle Bar closed in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour neighborhood back in 2019, it left an empty space in the hearts of fans of José Mend

Casa Juancho

One of the very first Spanish restaurants — and longest-standing — in the Magic City, Casa Juancho has a reputation that precedes itself. Large parties and families gather here for graduations, birthdays, and anything else worth celebrating. And why wouldn’t they? Guitarists serenade guests with old-school Spanish tunes inside this cozy restaurant, which feels authentically […]

Casa La Rubia Brewery & Pub

In early 2024, Wynwood Brewing and Veza Sur Brewing Company joined forces, merging two of Miami’s original craft breweries under one roof. To cap off this new chapter, in December Veza Sur rebranded as Casa La Rubia, in honor of Wynwood Brewing’s iconic La Rubia Blonde Ale. Today, Casa La Rubia proudly produces and pours […]

Casa Lario’s

Though Casa Larios’ claim to celebrity fame is that Gloria Estefan launched her career here, the real draws are the close-to-homemade Cuban staples. Dishes include ample servings of fried pork, roast chicken, and rice and beans. The moist, sweet plantains are actually better than many an abuelita’s home cooking. (But don’t tell her!) Regulars like […]

Casa Mariano

Mariano Araya has opened his newest Mediterranean restaurant, Casa Mariano, where he shares the cooking aesthetic borne of 20 years spent on the Miami dining scene. At Casa Mariano, diners can find new favorites among dishes like the tartare de filet served with quail egg, carrot aioli and crispy rice; lobster thermidor, a classic preparation with […]

Casa Paco

Most of the dishes at Casa Paco are as reasonably priced as they are delicious. Examples are the paella – chicken and rice or rice with seafood – and special house chicken, a tender half-boneless grilled bird smothered with onions, lime juice, butter, and pepper served with white rice and fried sweet plantains. Several kinds […]

Casa Tua

On the chance that Casa Tua isn’t advertising, because it doesn’t have a publicist, here’s a fresh and original ad: Seared Foie Gras with ginger and tomato marmalade. Risotto with white truffles. An enchanting and romantic fine-dining experience in a sumptuous setting inside a house. Priceless.

Casa Tua Cucina

Casa Tua Cucina, which opened quietly inside Saks at Brickell City Centre in January, offers an array of choices for hungry shoppers craving Italian-style sustenance. The 300-seat space includes ten dining stations, each with a different chef at the helm and all sharing a kitchen. It’s also family-friendly, with a causal atmosphere and affordable prices. […]

Casa Vieja Restaurant & Bar

Casa Vieja is a spacious community gathering spot for Kendall’s sizeable Colombian population — politicians have campaigned there, many a large family birthday party has been celebrated in the space, and local cumbia acts have partied the night away on the large stage. The interior is designed to look like, well, a casa vieja. The […]
