Located in the Breakwater Hotel — noted for its famous facade (a favorite among filmmakers), notorious for its dilapidated rooms — this sidewalk eatery seems little different from the other clone cafes that line Ocean Drive. Display of plastic-covered petrified food? Check. Aggressive shill out front? Check. Vaguely “Mediterranean” menu of pasta, paella, and pizza, […]
The food at most bookstore cafés usually encourages more fear and loathing than great expectations, but the cute little Café at Books & Books is actually a casual, inexpensive, unpretentious garden of earthly delights. The menu covers all the expected soup-salad-sandwich bases but also offers a few more adventurous options. Try the guava-glazed pork tenderloin […]

This pleasant Northern Italian restaurant offers a number of French nuances. Start with soups as good as their pretty names promise: minestrone Genovese, tortellini in brodo, or zuppa maitata. The shrimp fra diavolo is spunky, the veal dishes are exquisite, and you won’t have to take out a second mortgage to pay the check. At […]
Cafe Charlotte features Venezuelan specialties. A great intro to that nation’s cuisine is a sampler including guayanas cheese (similar to mozzarella but looser), teque

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 […]
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, […]

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
Opened in 2006, Cafetto is a French-style coffee shop with a local flavor.

There’s good reason, though: Carbone delivers. Its spicy rigatoni vodka is a perfect example. Presented on a plate hand-painted by nonnas in Southern Italy, the […]
