Miami Italian Restaurants

By: Samantha Ferguson | Posted: 28th March 2006





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. style="mso-spacerun: yes">  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.
