Coral Gables' newest tavern o' vino
Proving that sprucing up anything is possible, except of course spruce trees, since they’re already mad sprucey: Cibo Wine Bar, an Italian-plating vino haven open for dinner on Tuesday, which performed a true miracle by classing up the Mile's former Sports Exchange with Old World-ness in the form of a giant stone oven/pizza bar, and a slew of just-mod-enough butcher block tables lining dimly lit, exposed brick insets adorned with mirrors.
And in case you’re sick of tannin-content debates, Cibo's also working up cocktails like La Fragola Margarita (Toschi Fragoli Liqueur/triple sec/Cazadores Tequila) and a mint/Disaronno/Bacardi Superior/simple syrup-packed Mojito Italiano -- drink enough of them, and it’ll be a miracle if you're not ever-green yourself.
