“After a long search, we found the right balance of neighborhood, community and Miami vibe in this location,” said Ahmass Fakahany, New York-based Altamarea Group founder and CEO. “Our clientele spans the globe, and recently, many have moved south or visit often. They know they can count on Morini, and we look forward to introducing our quality and vibrant style of dining to those we haven’t met yet.”
The restaurant, located in the Kimpton Palomar South Beach, features signature menu items from the eatery’s other locations which include New York City, Long Island and New Jersey.
Diners will be tempted by house made pastas, including Cappelletti (truffled ricotta ravioli with prosciutto), simply prepared grilled meats (Tomahawk ribeye, veal chop and porchetta) and fresh seafood (branzino with salsa verde), as well as Polpettine (prosciutto and mortadella meatballs, pomodoro sauce, whipped ricotta and grilled bread.)
The robust wine list includes sustainable selections from small, family-operated wineries, refreshing, inventive cocktails as well as a separate list featuring riffs on the Negroni, Italy’s beloved beverage made with gin, vermouth and Campari.
The 3,700-square-foot yacht-shaped venue features floor-to-ceiling windows to allow for the famed Miami Beach light to filter in. There’s also outdoor dining along with a traditional wooden bar topped with Italian Carrara marble.
Osteria Morini Miami Beach is located at 1750 Alton Road, Miami Beach. For more information, call 305-918-1037 or visit osteriamorini.com.
