The Vibe

Romantic

A Coral Gables original back on Miracle Mile after six years away. Owner Franco Danovaro's room runs 150 seats with a circular bar at its center and sidewalk tables outside. The kitchen fuses Peruvian classics — tiradito, ceviches — with Italian touches in a pairing that earned Zagat recognition in its first run and still feels distinctly its own.
