"Italian Mixology in Miami Within Miami 's most famed Fontainebleau Hotel is an gastronomic superpower, but it's the mixology by bartender Hector Aceveda that really sets the eatery apart. Try some of the innovative cocktails using food products and specialty preparation. A great alternative to the pool bars and nightclubs."

"The spaghetti at Scarpetta is as simple as it sounds. The fresh made pasta, tomatoes, and basil are plated into a perfect pasta ball shape. The dish is brought to the table under a cloche, allowing it to steam and be piping hot as it is placed on the table. Pro tip: it’s featured on the Miami Spice menu every year." - Amber Love Bond

"Scott Conant's glossy Miami outpost of his well-known New York City Italian restaurant is just as fresh as it was when it opened in 2008. The big draw at brunch is probably the buffet, which consists of a raw bar brimming with oysters and stone crabs, a made-to-order frittata station, Italian meats and cheeses, just to get started. A la carte entrées include lobster Benedict, chicken parm, and filet mignon, plus tableside Scarpetta classics like tomato-basil spaghetti and foie gras ravioli. Desserts include cups of mini panna cotta and rice pudding with a toppings bar. If you want to feel like the party from Saturday night is continuing on into Sunday morning, this is the place." - Jennifer M. Wood, Sara Liss
