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 […]
In a city swamped with antiseptically lit cafeterias and overcrowded cafecito counters, it’s a luxury to find both the ambiance and space where you can lounge comfortably while feeding your caffeine habit. For that reason, the discovery of a quaint European-style café such as Ankarr should be considered nothing less than a major coup for […]
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 […]
A business that began on a Weber Smokey Mountain has grown into one of the area’s best barbecue restaurants. In 2022, Jeff Budnechky channeled his pandemic side hustle into a standalone location. Outside the restaurant, a small array of smokers billow aromas of pork and beef that betray Budnechky’s Brazilian-Argentinian roots and his wife’s Cuban […]

Draw up a list of the many possible places that a hub for newborn creatives might be tucked in Miami-Dade, and a cluster of warehouses stuck behind an Outback Steakhouse in Kendall would presumably be pretty close to the bottom. But get over the odd location and there’s no denying the truth: Artistic Vibes brims […]

The Bagel Express, a nondescript delicatessen squeezed into a small suburban strip mall, crafts deliciously simple bagels that typically sell out before noon. Made from scratch and baked fresh daily, options include pumpernickel, sesame, egg, poppyseed, garlic, salt, cinnamon, plain, and everything. For carb lovers with a conscience, there are also whole-wheat and eight-grain bagels […]

Things have been rough since Jorgie Ramos flipped from the real-estate biz to restaurants. He has opened and closed one restaurant and been tied up in a host of legal headaches with his second. The place, now named Barley, an American Brasserie, specializes in the kind of gut-busting, beer-friendly classics Ramos has honed as his […]
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 […]
