RED South Beach
Toscana Divino may not be the new kid on the block these days, but the Mary Brickell Village institution has withstood the test of time thanks to its exquisite Italian cuisine. And that Italian cuisine is exactly why stars pop in regularly—well, the Italian cuisine and the Italian wine. In addition to serving up bites like beef tartare, buffalo ricotta and spinach tortelli, and veal costoletta, the restaurant boasts an impressively long list of wines by the bottle. You could come in every day for a year to try a different bottle, and you still wouldn’t make a dent in the list. So yeah, make sure you Uber here.
