Casa Gianna
An all-day Italian restaurant inside the Gale Miami hotel downtown, with a terrazza, daily happy hour and a 6 am cafe.
Checked October 2026
Good for a downtown breakfast meeting, weekend brunch or an after-work happy hour. The trade-off is hotel pricing: $36 steak and eggs, and $25 valet even with validation.
Breakfast, priced like a hotel
The breakfast menu runs 8 to 11 am daily and reads like what it is, a restaurant inside the Gale Miami Hotel. Steak and eggs with Angus churrasco is $36. The short rib Benedict and the smoked lox Benedict with stracciatella are $28 each. A plain omelet starts at $15, with add-ons from $2 to $6. The $30 breakfast platter includes a cup of coffee, which helps the math. Weekend brunch runs 8 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday, so late risers aren't stuck with lunch. Weekday lunch goes from 11 am to 4 pm.
The terrazza and the private room
The site pitches the outdoor terrazza for dinners under the city lights, and it's the table to ask for when the weather cooperates. Dinner runs 4 to 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and until 11 pm on Friday and Saturday. Happy hour covers 4 to 8 pm every day, a long window for a downtown drink after work. Groups have options: a private dining room seats 14, and the terrazza takes events like rehearsal dinners. Reviews come in at 4.3 from about 930 Google ratings. That's solid rather than glowing, which fits a $$$ hotel Italian spot.
Cafe Gianna, the faster option
Need coffee before 8 am? Cafe Gianna, the quick-service counter on site, opens at 6 am every day. It stays open until 11 pm Sunday through Thursday and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. It's built for coffee, breakfast or lunch on the go, which makes it the more useful half of the operation if you're staying upstairs or working nearby. The main restaurant also does takeout through online ordering for pickup, plus delivery through DoorDash. If you'd rather sit down without planning ahead, walk-ins are taken when there's room.
Parking
Valet is $25 with validation, which needs a $50 minimum spend and caps at four hours.
Reservations
Book on OpenTable, especially for the terrazza; walk-ins depend on availability.
