This place is not your typical Italian restaurant. It’s a two Italians’ dream that became true, combining the best of both worlds: Italy and Miami. They created a space where you can feel like you are in Italy but also enjoy live music performances and other events that take place there.

The menu offers traditional dishes made with seasonal ingredients, as well as more modern ones like risotto balls with truffle oil, parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs; meatballs stuffed with mozzarella di bufala (buffalo milk mozzarella) cooked in tomato sauce; grilled octopus with potato salad and spicy mayonnaise; ravioli filled with beef tenderloin ragu served on bed of rich béchamel sauce; spinach gnocchi filled with ricotta cheese, sundried tomatoes and basil pesto sauce.
