Hungry Posted: Vero Italian

What to Expect: A little piece of Italy in the middle of downtown Miami. This very cozy spot with dim lights and a take on modern yet traditional décor is run by an Italian couple who take pride in bringing the real flavors of Italy to us in each dish. Choose from bites and drinks at the bar, dine nside the main restaurant area or if its breezy go for the terrace.

The Menu: Definitely not one of those crazy, long lists of dishes (which we SO appreciate), yet a good amount of options to choose from. Start with some appetizers,  maybe even a salad, fresh pasta dishes, a pizza, and, OF COURSE, dessert. Nothing pairs better with Italian food than wine, right? So WINE NOT A GLASS?!

What to Order: We just couldn’t help ourselves… We had to have a little bit of everything!

Tomato Bruschetta: Not your average bruschetta! Two pieces of toast with chunky diced tomatoes. Definitely, an appetizer we recommend you share. You’ll need to save some space to try some of the other bites on the menu!

Bucatini a’ Amatriciana… Rome is Home: One of our favorites and a best seller on the menu, according to the owner! We’re talking quality and quantity.  Warning: you may just want to have it all to yourself!

Diavola: The owner’s recommendation from their list of pizzas, with imported Italian mozzarella, tomatoes, spicy Italian salami fire roasted red peppers, and a chili oil mix. Warning: Make sure you and whoever you’re sharing it with like spicy!

How to Score a Table: You will most likely be able to sit at any of their different areas at any time. But if you’d rather be “safe than sorry”, then make sure to call or reserve through their website. Given its located in the downtown Miami area, you might want to consider the parking situation. There are many parking garages and also street parking, or just enjoy a glass of wine or two and take an uber!
