What a year, amirite? 2021 was a little bit better than 2020, but not by much. We saw some semblance of normalcy return, only for Omicron to rear its ugly head and end the year on an uncertain note.
But let’s focus on the positive. There was a lot to like in the food scene despite everything going on in the world. Here are some of our favorite food things of 2021.
When you think of neighborhoods in Miami with good food, Dadeland isn’t usually at the top of the list. It has some amazing spots — Ghee Indian Kitchen and Barley (R.I.P. for now) — but we’re more likely to head to Wynwood or Miami Beach for a worthwhile meal.
Our recent visit to Erba is making us think twice, though. This new Italian gem from Chefs Niven Patel and Tim Piazza is a winner — one that’s already doing a fantastic job at driving diners to Kendall.
With Miami Spice winding down, there are only so many dinners you can squeeze in. In these final days of the promotion, make sure that Prime Italian is at the top of your list. The Italian restaurant on Miami Beach is one of the best ways to go out with a bang.
When it comes to Miami Spice, the menu at Red, the Steakhouse South Beach pulls no punches. Chef Peter Vauthy and his team rotate the Spice menu regularly to keep guests on their toes. Through September 30, diners can expect a unique experience during each visit to the steakhouse.
Here are a few reasons we can’t recommend the place enough.
Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen. It’s not uncommon to stumble across one every block or so in the major neighborhoods across Miami. Which is why finding a good one can be difficult. We’ll make your decision simple: If you’re looking to make the most of your carbs, head on over to Dolce Italian for fantastic Italian fare.
