Italica

The Midtown branch of an Argentine-born Italian spot built around pizza and spritzes, with weekend brunch and $$ prices.

Checked October 2026

Good for an easy pizza-and-spritz lunch or a weekend brunch near Wynwood without spending much. It's a dependable neighborhood Italian rather than a destination, and it closes by 10 pm most nights.

Pizza and spritz

The website leads with two hashtags, pizza lovers and spritz lovers, and that tells you where the menu's weight sits. This is Italian by way of Buenos Aires: the group's original restaurant is in Puerto Madero, with more Argentine locations on the way. Prices sit at the $$ level. The site's own motto, "any time is cocktails time," means a spritz with lunch won't raise eyebrows. It holds a 4.6 from about 1,050 Google reviews, which is solid for a neighborhood place. The site text doesn't list specific dishes, so check the Midtown menu online before you go.

This branch, not Aventura

Miami has two Italicas. This one is at 3201 NE 1st Ave, which the restaurant calls Midtown and maps call the Wynwood side of the line. The other is up Biscayne Boulevard in Aventura. Pick this one if you're already around Wynwood, Midtown or the Design District and want a sit-down meal that isn't a scene. Each location has its own menu on the site, so make sure you're reading the Midtown one. If you'd rather stay home, this branch also offers delivery and online ordering.

Weekend hours and brunch

On weekdays it opens at 11:30 am. On Saturday and Sunday the doors open at 11 am, which is when the brunch crowd shows up. Most nights it closes at 10 pm. Friday and Saturday run an hour later, until 11 pm. That makes it a better fit for lunch, brunch or an early dinner than for the start of a night out. Reservations go through the website. Groups planning a party or private event can use the separate event form or email the restaurant directly.

Reservations

Book a table through the restaurant's website. For a party or private event, use the event form there instead.

Good to know

Midtown and Aventura have different menus on the site, so open the Midtown one before you decide.
