A special thank you to hours Cuban waiter Mr Claudio Fernandez for his assistance, service & informations.

Better eat something before go back to Miami, the American Airways Business Class don't have any Business Lounge and don't have any edible food on board, we have to survive up to the dinner time!

Thank you Mr Don Starr Concierge Member de Les Clefs d'Or USA, for yours helpful and always right advises. Thank you again for your beautiful and must welcome gift 'assiette dès fromage' well paired Napa Valley wine!

Beautiful restaurant in the center of the French Quarter, cozy and green Patio with a good Classic Old Jazz background music. Contemporary and sofisticate Louisiana Cuisine. Not bad the 'risotto' a little out of the Italian canonic way but properly cooked and tasty, also very good the the Nigella Tuna, perfectly rear, tender & juicy. Unfortunately where served a little could! Sorry for the dark pictures but don't have light at all!

Let's try a alligator grilled sausage! Surprising good, very tasty and little spicy. Les grease than a pork sausage, definitely more light, juicy and tender. Actually is very good!

Just a quick lunch,
Northern Italian cuisine, quite authentic to be in the States, just same small details modified to please the local taste and not to loose to much American clients! Nice small restaurant & pleasant lunch.
I ask to interview the Italian Lady Chef from Verona, but she doesn't came out!

Out of the crowded French Quarter looking for a quite place we find this beautiful restaurant in a New Orleans residential area. Mediterranean cuisine whit a strong French influence, high quality and fresh ingredient, managed by talented Chef who know what's is doing! A more pleasant dinner whit friends!

Authentic Italian charcuteries served with 'crescentine' & good Italian selection of cheeses. Light, crispy and tasty the pizza half way Napolitanen to Roman style. The pasta is cooked properly al dente, but the dishes are quite unusual, untraditional combinations of ingredients, pasta shapes & sauce. I will try again soon!

Not a bad pizza Roman style, dough tasty, crispy and digestible and authentic toppings. Some unusual sauces for a pasta dishes but quite tasty and interesting, specially the braised ragù!

Comment will follow... if I remember the restaurant name!

Eating in Zuma it's always a pleasure, quality food & service standards and even the menù are the same worldwide. Just change some of the fresh ingredients locally sourced.
The Zuma Miami is very nice in a better location with a terrace on the canal, but The Zuma Dubai still always the must chic & trendy!

Very good job done by this Italian guys! Everything authentic and traditional, i hade for a quick lunch an "unexpected to find" focaccia di Recco in Miami! Helped by Italian beer, thank you.

Stone crabs, King crabs & oysters 100% American 100% fresh!

It can not just say it's an Italian restaurant, American chef, not Italians around and some spelling mistakes on the menu! But is a good Mediterranean restaurant, the spaghetti alla chitarra were good, tasty and perfectly al dente, the grilled octopus whit the chorizo was very pleasant and reminded to me the "pulpo gallego" flavour. The fillet of beef was perfect, juicy and extremely tender. One more pleasant dinner. By the way, the stunning beauty of this villa still worth a visit!

Need for pizza;
What's better than a 100% classic authentic Napolitanen pizza!

Just stopped at random on Lincoln Road Mall for dinner. Even dining al fresco Miami Peoples like to dine always in the dark! Extremely difficult to take any pictures of the dishes! By the way the the spaghetti where not bad, just few little mistake but not bad at all!

Need for crabs!
Very fresh, tender and juicy!

Ultra darkness, no light for pictures at all!
The tuna tartare and the scallop where very fresh and quite good. Unfortunately, the ravioli were over charged of too many different flavours and the filling was hard to feel! I always outside Italy our dishes are over garnish, over charged of flavours, spices and herbs and even cream. When you cook same Italian dishes please keep simple. Simplicity is the best virtue of our cuisine! Thank you.

Always too dark in all Miami restaurant!
For must of the dishes was not possible to take a picture but, the Pekinese duck very good!

Need for meat!
It's very difficult to take a picture of the food in Miami, all the restaurants are very dark inside! My aged Bone-in ribeye was perfectly rear, very tender, juicy, tasty and served exactly like I ordered! Very good and fresh seafood platter also! Unfortunately the picture was too dark to be posted!
