July isn't exactly peak restaurant-opening season in Miami (blame the brutal heat and the slower summer crowds), but that doesn't mean the month was completely quiet. While many restaurateurs wait for the cooler and busier months of fall, three major openings this July still managed to generate serious buzz and excitement this summer. Whether you're a wine lover, a pizza connoisseur, or a steakhouse aficionado, July had three very fun openings.

Leading the pack was 3190, a new Italian wine bar and lasagna restaurant in Coconut Grove by the founders of Cotoletta and San Lorenzo. With its housemade lasagna using a family recipe, endless pours of wine, and decadent tiramisu, it was truly the restaurant opening that stood out the most in July for its limited menu featuring, basically, only lasagna.

Meanwhile, Daniel's Miami made a splash at the former location of Italian restaurant Fiola Miami, bringing the team behind Daniel's Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale to Coral Gables with a luxe new spot. Then, after years of viral pop-ups, Fratesi's Pizza finally opened its first-ever permanent location in downtown Miami, sending local pizza lovers into a frenzy.

Aside from those heavy hitters, July also welcomed a few smaller, but still noteworthy, openings: Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream debuted a new spot in Kendall, giving dessert lovers a reason to brave the heat, and Amavi brought a fresh Mediterranean flair to Midtown. Still, July remains a tough month for the local dining scene, with more closures than openings and a palpable lull in foot traffic. In Miami, spring, fall, and winter are when things really pop off — July just gives us a taste of what's to come.
