Miami Italian Restaurants

Cioppino

Restaurant
,
located in the Ritz Carlton on Key

Biscayne
, features authentic Tuscan style cuisine. Chef Carlos

Sernaglia, originally from
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />
w:st="on">Caracas
, incorporates his Italian roots of

Liguria and

Piedmont into his style of cooking. The outdoor

terrace of this Miami Italian restaurant offers views of the ocean. If you

already have plans for lunch and dinner, Cioppino Restaurant serves an exquisite

brunch on Sundays.

Cioppino's Menu: If you want to

get a good feeling for the Tuscan style cuisine, try the Zuppa di Verdura alla

Toscana, which is an appetizer soup, or the Carpaccio di Manzo. For the second

course, our recommendation is the 14 oz. Veal Chop with sautéed spinach and

balsamic sauce or the Costata d Abbacchio, which is a baby rack of lamb with a

side of rosemary potatoes and spinach.

Restaurant
,
located on
href="http://miami.restaurantplace.com/search-result.aspx?cId=1&sId=1&cityId=1&scId=10">South

Beach
, is owned by Chef Pino Bodoni. Chef Bodoni can be seen

intermingling with patrons at his family fun restaurant. It is always a pleasure

to eat at Escopazzo when it is known that the owner/chef takes so much pride in

his work, importing the majority of his products and keeping on hand over 170

cases of wines from
w:st="on">Italy
.

If you ever wondered who owns a

restaurant or where is the mystifying chef that magically combines an array of

ingredients to make something so delectable, you will not have this problem at

Escopazzo Restaurant in
w:st="on">Miami
.



 



Escopazzo's Menu: When you dine

at this fine Italian restaurant in Miami, make sure to try the New Zealand

Mussels, which is served "with a ragout of baby artichokes, garlic, lemon

essence and mint over crispy polenta sticks", or the Carpaccio di Pesce, which

consists of a swordfish loin and big eye tuna. For pasta lovers, there is a

pumpkin and amaretto filled ravioli, which is a unique combination that arouses

the taste buds. The Quail Filled Ravioli with asparagus is our favorite pasta.

We recommend the Pepper Crusted Boneless Ribeye for steak lovers as it is

tenderly prepared.



 




style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">
href="http://miami.restaurantplace.com/restaurant-detail.aspx?restId=5">Anacapri

Restaurant
,
located in


href="http://miami.restaurantplace.com/search-result.aspx?cId=1&sId=1&cityId=1&scId=1">Pinecrest
,

is a fine Italian restaurant that serves excellent food at great prices.

Anacapri also doubles as an authentic Italian market where you can find your

imported Italian products without having to jump on a plane. Anacapri has a

second location in Coral

Gables
on Miracle Mile.



 



Anacapri's Menu: Anacapri keeps

its menu simple.  For $8.00, you can

get the Mozzarella Anacapri appetizer, which is fresh mozzarella, prosciutto,

basil, and sundried tomatoes. Unlike some of the more expensive Italian

restaurants in Miami

Beach
, the Veal Pizzaiola or Piccata is moderately priced

at $20. If you are in the mood for seafood, Snapper Francese, Marechiara, or

Della Casa are always delicious.



 




style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">
href="http://miami.restaurantplace.com/restaurant-detail.aspx?restId=155">Trattoria

Sole
is a relatively inexpensive Italian restaurant in
href="http://miami.restaurantplace.com/neighborhood.aspx?scId=21&cityId=1">South

Miami
. This local spot can get busy so a reservation is recommended. If

you are in the mood for outdoor dining, this restaurant it is worth the wait.



 



Trattoria Sole's Menu: Skipping

straight to the dessert menu, the Coconut Flan is one reason to try Trattoria

Sole. Other reasons to try this Italian restaurant include their wide selection

of pastas, seafood entrees, and veal dishes.



 




style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">
href="http://miami.restaurantplace.com/restaurant-detail.aspx?restId=47">Peppy's

in the Gables
is a cornerstone of Italian eateries in
w:st="on">Miami
. Serving Miami

restaurant Patrons for over 14 years, Peppy's is surely doing something

right.  This restaurant is not the

most chic of restaurants, but it is surely one of the more savory Italian

restaurants.



 



Peppy's in the Gables Menu: If

you are a fan of homemade bruschetta served with fresh tomatoes and scallions,

Peppy's is for you. If you are not a bruchetta fan, you simply cannot turn away

their plump mussels in a tarragon broth. Peppy's has a large selection of

entrees; it may be difficult to decide on just one. I would recommend sharing

some of their dishes such as the Veal Marsala ($17.95) and Scampi ($19.50) with

others at your table, in order to taste what this
w:st="on">Miami
restaurant has to offer.
