Recoveco

Recoveco is the kind of place that proves big flavors can live in small, hidden corners of the Magic City. This South Miami gem, which chefs Maria Teresa (Tere) Gallina and Nico Martinez unveiled in 2024, turns a tight nine-dish menu into a parade of thoughtful, balanced plates. Each visit feels like a secret you're lucky to know about, made even better with Shannon Gable's perfectly paired wine selections. Intimate, eclectic, and quietly game-changing, Recoveco is already one of the city's most exciting new restaurants. Mere months after New Times tapped it as Best New Restaurant (Miami-Dade) in our 2025 issue (and Gallina as Best Chef!), the New York Times deigned to take note too.
