Osteria del Teatro

South Beach


There are few things to swear by, but the Northern Italian cooking at Osteria, one of the best Italian restaurants in Greater Miami, ought to be one. When you get here, let the gracious Italian waiters seat you, coddle you and guide you along the first-rate menu, with temptations like polenta with wild mushrooms, black squid-ink linguine and locally caught red snapper.
