Spartico

Spartico is all about the crisp, classic Roman-style pies cooked up in the on-site, Milanese wood-burning oven. Garlic bread comes from the same oven, and it’s a pungent, doughy treat worth the extra calories. Guests to this Coconut Grove outpost can add a whole host of gourmet options to their particular pie, including Porcini mushrooms, […]

Chef Gaetano Ascione of Spasso (3540 Main Highway) promises a brutally delicious full-fledged buffet complete with a dry-aged Chicago prime rib for the carving station, house-made pastas such as Italian tortelloni with black truffle sauce, egg-cellent frittatas, and many more options.

Sushi Maki

Sushi Maki is a laid-back sushi spot offering the usual variety of rolls, along with plenty of appetizers and entrée options for the raw-fish-phobic.

The Taurus

Housed in one of Coconut Grove’s most historically significant buildings, Taurus is a convivial watering hole that accepts everyone, including dogs. True to its name, the well-stocked bar offers a broad selection of beers, whiskeys, and other spirits, including an Irish daiquiri and a boozy lemonade. Expect grade-A pub grub from on-site Cuban Filipino pop-up […]

Tavern In the Grove

There’s pleasant bumping and grinding as you inch your way to the bar and your next frosty one. There are darts, a pool table, and a couple of videogames, but the entertainment is mostly supplied by a jukebox laden with hard rock. They occasionally slip in a little hip-hop. That’s what they’re listening to at […]

The Spillover

The Spillover is more than just a good time. It’s also polished, with managers sporting tailored suits and an extensive list of entrées riding alongside all the sandwiches. Try a whole fish, often supplied by whatever the spearfishermen from Trigger Seafood are catching, or grab one of the 15 daily orders of barbecued gator ribs. […]

Todo Frio Ice Cream n More

With a Spanish name meaning “everything cold,” Todo Frio is a traditional neighborhood ice cream parlor with a Hispanic twist. It’s located feet away from Douglas Park, in an unassuming shopping center on 37th Avenue. An overwhelming scent of sugar and cotton candy fills the small shop. Targeted toward children, it’s painted in primary colors […]

The Village is slated for a major restoration project that will reunite the two sides of the estate and integrate the […]
