Now That’s Italian

Little Niko Pizza & Gelatería Is Like A Home Away From Home

by

Classic Italian dishes and authentic New York-style pizzas are what you will find at Little Niko Pizza & Gelatería. Located on Española Way in South Beach, this family-friendly restaurant brings a taste of Little Italy to this two-block corridor between Washington and Pennsylvania avenues.

“Little Niko is more than just a restaurant; it’s a home away from home where we welcome guests to savor the comfort and hospitality that make dining truly special,” says hospitality pioneer Charissa Davidovici.

The interior is reminiscent of an Italian trattoria and features a large patio with plenty of outdoor seating.

The restaurant boasts an authentic and varied pizza menu that offers some spicier options such as the hot honey pepperoni pizza and the Funghi Poblano made with fire roasted poblano crema, aged provolone and mushrooms.

The extensive pasta menu includes Bucatini Alla Carbonara, Rigatoni Picanti Alla Vodka made with creamy tomato vodka sauce, Calabrian pepper and parmesan; and Fra Diavolo for two, a combination of spaghetti, whole Maine lobster, shrimp, mussels, calamari, Calabrian pepper, white wine and tomato sauce.

Be sure to leave room for dessert. There is a rainbow of gelato flavors — vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio and more. And what authentic Italian restaurant wouldn’t be complete without tiramisu or cannoli on the menu?

Little Niko Pizza & Gelatería is located at 1444 Drexel Ave., Miami Beach. For more information, visit littlenikopizzeria.com.
