Eating House Miami

As one of Miami's first true pop-up restaurants, Eating House stands as a culinary gem not just for its creative riff-style menu, but also for its ability to pivot and expand without losing sight of its ethos: delivering simple, well-executed fare. When Miami native and Chopped champ Giorgio Rapicavoli opened in 2011, the popular Coral Gables restaurant introduced diners to dishes that are now cult classics. While Rapicavoli's rotating specials continue to offer edible exploration, mainstays have become forever favorites. Take the heirloom tomatoes prepared with a fish sauce vinaigrette, peanuts, and coconut milk. Or the housemade tater tots complemented by a Coca-Cola-spiked ketchup. And you can't scroll the Eating House Instagram feed without a glimpse of the bucatini carbonara: a warm egg yolk mixed tableside into a generous bowl of dente pasta coated in a black pepper cream sauce flecked with nibs of heritage bacon and black truffle — it's a dish that will haunt you with cravings months later. Pro tip: Don't sleep on the weekend brunch.
