Whether you’re visiting a restaurant for the first time or the fifth time, there are some dishes that you should always get. At these five Miami hotspots, the following selections are always a hit.
Buya
Ironside’s La Giulietta is heaven on earth for Italian food lovers. The charming neighborhood haunt offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner for hungry patrons and each service has its own must-try plates. Start your day with a seasonal quiche or croissant sandwich or visit later for mouthwatering menu items like orecchiette, burrata caprese, branzino and tiramisu. You can’t go wrong with any of those choices.
In terms of alcoholic beverages, it’s BYOB with no corkage fee. There’s also a little shop next door where you can pick up a wine bottle (or two) if you forget your own. If the weather is nice, make sure to sit outside on the spacious patio to take advantage.
La Giulietta is located at 7580 NE 4th Court, Miami, FL 33138. For more information, visit their Instagram page.
Pubbelly Sushi
Pubbelly Sushi has multiple locations throughout the city, so you’re never too far from creative rolls and other Asian-inspired fare. For those not familiar with the Pubbelly brand, their team is known for putting together award-winning cuisine and adding in a little fun.
The menu is enormous with snacks, rolls, grilled items, buns, and more but we’ll narrow it down for you. If you only order one thing, make it the Butter Krab roll. The warm clarified butter used for dipping will have you smacking your lips in ecstasy.
The tuna pizza, served cold, may sound a little strange, but its combination of fresh tuna, crispy tortilla, and truffle oil is a match made in heaven. Lastly, get the pork belly. It might sound basic compared to other items but take one bite and get back to us – you’re welcome.
PB Sushi has multiple locations in Miami, including Miami Beach and Brickell. For more information, visit their official website.
Riviera Focacceria Italiana
There are only three words you need to know when visiting Riveria Focacceria in Midtown: Focaccia con Formaggio. That’s it. You can literally just order this item from the Italian eatery, and you’ll have gotten your money’s worth.
What is it, you ask? It’s two ultra-thin layers of homemade dough filled with imported Italian stracchino cheese. You can also get different toppings. And it’s so addicting that the restaurant added a warning on the menu.
Aside from this treat, there’s plenty of other options to be had at Riviera Focacceria including the pesto pasta, the bucatini, and the boneless veal chop. Pair any of these three with the focaccia, and you’re gold.
Riviera Focacceria Italiana is located at 3252 Buena Vista Boulevard, #110, Miami, FL 33137. For more information, visit their official website.
