Le Specialità

A Milan-leaning Italian room in the Design District, with thin-crust pizzas from a mosaic oven, crudi, and a pricey steak list.

Checked October 2026

Good for a long Design District lunch or a dressy dinner built around pizza and pasta. The trade-off is the bill: it's $$$$, and a 20% service charge is added to every check.

The pizzas and the pastas

The sculptural mosaic oven turns out whisper-thin, blistered pizzas, and the list runs long: a straight Margherita, a Pata Negra with Ibérico ham, a Caviar pizza with smoked salmon and Ossetra, and the Pops with wagyu salami, jalapeño and hot honey. On the pasta side, the northern Italian anchor is risotto alla Milanese with saffron, next to tagliolini carbonara, cacio e pepe and a Gragnano spaghetti with lobster. The rigatoni alla vodka with Calabrian chili is filed under Miami Signature Dishes, which tells you who the kitchen is cooking for.

Lunch, aperitivo, dinner

Doors open at noon every day, and service runs until 10 pm, or 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. That noon start matters here, where a long lunch between showrooms is the move. The restaurant pitches the room for exactly that: contemporary art, warm light, and a menu with plenty of crudi like hamachi carpaccio and tuna with Taggiasca olives. For aperitivo, the cocktail list is short and Italian-leaning: a Negroni Bianco built on mezcal, a Lambrusco Spritz with Aperol and Amaro Montenegro, and a spicy tequila drink called Miami Heat. Wine comes by the glass and bottle.

What the bill looks like

This is a $$$$ room, and the secondi make it obvious: Australian wagyu ribeye, whole Dover sole grilled or meunière, a breaded veal cotoletta alla Milanese. Then a 20% service charge goes on every check, so read the receipt before you tip by reflex. Google lands at 4.4 from about 200 reviews, solid rather than unanimous. If you're splurging anyway, leave room for dessert: millefoglie, tiramisù, a meringa Amalfi with limoncello cream, or a sgroppino if you want something light. The space also hosts private events and brand launches, worth knowing if you're planning a big table.

Reservations

Reservations are taken through the restaurant's website, and there's a separate inquiry form for private events.

Good to know

A 20% service charge is already on every check, so don't double-tip by accident.
