Osteria del Teatro - Restaurants guide Miami - Trip planner Miami Beach
Located in an unassuming storefront beneath the ultrasceney crobar nightclub, it's hard to believe that Osteria del Teatro is the best Italian bistro on the beach. What it might be lacking in decor is certainly not absent in the elaborate cuisine. Regulars who swear by this place won't even bother looking at the menu; instead they concentrate on the enormous changing list of specials on the blackboard. You will definitely be faced with some tough choices: plump chicken breast sautéed with shallots and sun-dried tomatoes in champagne cream sauce; seafood baked with linguine, garlic, fresh tomatoes, and olive oil in parchment paper; or homemade ravioli stuffed with scallops and crab in lobster sauce. The regulars here are on a first-name basis with the waiters, who always seem to know what you're in the mood for.
A unique and constantly changing menu makes this little restaurant a winner with restaurant critics and local diners. Surrounded by countless Italian eateries, Osteria del Teatro manages to stand out from the crowd. You'll find a typical South Beach crowd here: young, well-dressed folks preparing for a night on the town. The atmosphere is casually elegant. Pay special attention to the daily specials which often feature delectable fresh local seafood.
