Adriano’s Opens at The Doral Yard
Adriano’s Italian Sandwiches, the Miami-born, chef-driven concept founded by Chef Adrian Patron and Dominique Hawit-Patron, is now open at The Doral Yard, a new chapter for a brand that has grown up in the city where its story began.
Since a soft opening in October, the new location’s two hero products, The Adriano and The Prosciutto & Burrata, both sold out on National Sandwich Day, and longtime customers from City Food Hall are making their way over. The team is now welcoming the wider community.
Originally launched in 2023 at City Food Hall in Doral, Adriano’s quickly became a local favorite for its Italian-inspired sandwiches, premium ingredients and commitment to quality. Now, the concept has relocated its original Doral location to The Doral Yard, bringing the same signature menu and culinary approach to an open-air setting with its own air-conditioned corner, while keeping its strong connection to the community.
“Doral is where we opened our first location, so it will always be an important part of our story,” said Chef Adrian Patron. “Moving to The Doral Yard feels like a natural next step for us, and we’re excited to welcome our longtime customers and the Doral community into our new space.”
Known for fresh focaccia, premium ingredients and meats sliced to order, Adriano’s brings a
chef-driven approach to the classic sandwich shop, combining Italian inspiration with Miami
flavor. The menu features signature favorites such as The Adriano and the Prosciutto & Burrata,
alongside other carefully crafted sandwiches built on freshness and flavor.
Adriano’s also offers catering that is perfect for the holiday season and office gatherings, serving Italian-inspired sandwiches and fresh sides designed to make whoever placed the order look like a genius. Catering inquiries can be made at adrianosmiami.com.
The move follows Adriano’s recent rebrand, which introduced a refreshed identity while preserving the culinary philosophy behind the concept. With its roots firmly planted in Doral, the opening at The Doral Yard is another milestone in the brand’s growing presence throughout Miami.
