Anacapri sits pretty on a Ponce de Leon Boulevard corner in Coral Gables. The restaurant’s unfinished beige walls and balconies with draping foliage boast a rustic Italian feel. Inside, lights are dim and table linens are crisp and white. Italian music lingers. Everything screams vintage wine and overpriced dishes. But at Anacapri, fine dining is […]

We’d argue that Anthony’s has the best pizza this side of Italy – the blackened, bubbly crust is so authentic you can taste ancient culinary history in it. That’s thanks to a coal-fired brick oven that cooks not only outstanding pies ($15.95 for a 12-inch, $18.95 for an 18-inch), topped with everything from broccoli rabe […]
Is Best Sub & Sandwich Shop really the best? Considering the fact that this shoebox-size grilled-sub shack has been operating in the same location â?? on a quiet, hidden avenue that snakes along East Kendall’s Greenery Mall and curves to the rear of Pinecrest’s Tattoos by Lou â?? for 32 years, it doesn’t seem like […]
This budget-chic bistro in a dreary Kendall strip mall is the kind of restaurant that is the backbone of any serious dining town — a neighborhood place that pays upscale attention to food and service but charges only midscale prices. The menu here is mostly classic bistro; if you want stir-fried butterfly lips, you’ll have […]

Miami diners who have never managed to master Starbucks’ sizing system will find Cold Stone Creamery’s similarly challenging; the ice-cream chain eschews small, medium, and large in favor of “Like It,” “Love It,” and “Gotta Have It” sizes. Once the portion is picked, patrons can concoct their own creations from super-premium ice cream flavors like […]
This locals’ joint tucked into the corner of a Pinecrest strip mall features wooden booths, a central bar, darts, foosball, and billiards. You’ll also find standard furnishings such as multiple TV sets and a jukebox. Smoking is allowed inside the sports-heavy establishment, which boasts a varied liquor selection. Typical bar eats such as sliders and […]
Since 1978, this market, bakery, and eatery has been the spot in P-Crest to buy a tub of tzatziki, fresh pita chips, a hookah, or any Middle Eastern fare. Among our favorites are the parsley-heavy tabbouleh, flavorful marinated chicken platters, excellent falafel, and gyro pita pockets dripping with tahini and salad garnishes. Also superb are […]

Like the West Coast’s renowned family-owned In-N-Out Burger chain, East Coast eatery Five Guys (whose original family-owned restaurant opened in 1986, nearly 40 years after I-N-O) has retro 1950s d
Despite the kitschy mounted fish, beer koozies strung about like garland, and a jukebox that always seems to be playing the Chemical Brothers, it
When Whole Foods seems too overwhelming or impersonal, head to cozy market-bistro Gardner’s Market to pick up imported beluga and a latte or a scone. The gourmet shop offers prepared salads, a hot foods section, and a station where sandwiches and burgers ($6.99) are made to-order. The staff doesn’t seem to fit the image that […]

You have to look pretty darn hard to find chow from the place where Columbus thought he had arrived. Sure, there are plenty of the walk-up cafeterias selling caf
This unassuming Pinecrest institution has poured cold beers and stiff drinks for locals since the 1960s – so long that early ownership reportedly changed hands mid-poker games. Hidden behind an unmarked alleyway entrance, Keg South embraces its dive-bar soul with no-frills decor (replete with dollar bills stapled to the wall) and an atmosphere that feels […]
