Miami Beach Restaurant Guide

Miami Beach's dining scene is has become a trendy hot spot, thanks to an influx of talented chefs from the Big Apple, Europe and beyond. And now, South Beach has added another feather to its culinary cap with the opening of Fiamma Gastronomia Italiana. At first glance, Fiamma, with its sleek modern interior of white tables and chairs, isn't what you'd expect of an Italian cafe, but this is South Florida, this casual (and affordable) 10-table beachside trattoria serves up a full menu of authentic Italian dishes from breakfast until midnight. Patrons can take home a bottle of fine imported olive oil. And if you prefer to indulge their chicken milanese, pasta and meat sauce or calamari in your hotel room, they deliver. Fiamma is destined to be a hit with locals and tourists. 224 Espanola Way, Miami Beach; 305-397-8152.
