Macchialina

Sure, you usually make your way to South Beach’s Macchialina to put yourself into a carb coma while enjoying the seriously geeky wine list, but those participating in Dry January can still get in on the fun with their n/a-friendly Lady Antonella cocktail made with Figlia N/A Aperitivo, spicy ginger, clover honey, lime, and sparkling water.

Nobody makes you feel more convincingly like you're in Italy than former-Scarpetta chef Michael Pirolo does at Macchialina. This cozy Alton Road hideaway not only survived the volatile Miami restaurant industry, it survived the demolition of Alton Road, a global pandemic, and last year’s Spring Break. It’s persevered thanks to the richest red sauces, freshest pastas, and most inventive cocktail menu on this list. And while dozens of transplants boasting northeastern pedigree have come to town thinking they’ll impress us, Macchialina still outdoes them all.
