Bertoni Brick Oven Pizza and Lounge

There's a tiny, lush, wicker-filled oasis tucked away in Coconut Grove. And getting there is half the fun. Walk south on Main Highway and you might spot a gaggle of Hari Krishnas handing out flowers or a rouge rickshaw packed with tourists. Then there's the utter deliciousness that is La Dolce Vita Gelato's window. A few more steps past this colorful distraction is a long, narrow alley where you'll find a secret wonderland called Bertoni. It's a casual, starlit dining spot that's all about boho ambiance and cooking freshly made pizzas, empanadas, and panini on a visible open grill. Popular items include the arugula prosciutto ($15.50) and the mushroom and Parma ham ($14) pizzas. Both come complete with thin, crisp crusts and are just big enough for two people. It's a great pre-party spot, especially since music is always pumping and servers seem to be liberal with the wine. Bon appétit!
