A seasonal menu reminiscent of the coastal Riviera features squid ink lobster ravioli and crudo dishes such as sea scallops with gooseberries, Fresno chili and citrus colatura. Every dish and design detail has been crafted with intention. mikacoralgables.com
COTOLETTA
Salmon pink walls, teal-green banquettes and terrazzo flooring give Cotoletta the perfect Miami palette. But dining here transports guests from Coconut Grove to a café in Europe. Designed by Eduardo Suarez, the bistro exudes eclectic charm, with a gallery wall of tie portraits evoking a sense of hospitality. Owners Ignacio Lopez Mancisidor, Mattia Cicognani and Andrea Fraquelli, along with chef Giulio Rossi, deliver an authentic Italian experience with a pre-fixe menu of sides, desserts and just one main course: Cotoletta alla Milanese—a plate-sized, breaded veal cutlet dressed with rosemary and lemon zest. When a dish gets perfected over generations, why serve anything else? cotolettamiami.com
