The 20 Best Restaurants In Downtown Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"This place looks like an Italian family with a slight hoarding issue broke into a Downtown building and no one’s decided to kick them out because their pasta is good. There’s no restaurant in the area with as much personality as Soya: a dim, cavernous space stuffed with books, mismatched furniture, and antiques. They usually do live jazz here on Thursday and Saturday, so stop by then if you want a little extra romance. But it’s worth parallel parking for the eggplant parm—music or no music—and the slightly sweet fazzoletti di formaggio e pera with pear and ricotta." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
