Ciao amici!

Right here in Coconut Grove, we’ve got our very own slice of Italy—from espresso by the bay to pasta that rivals the motherland’s. So this week, we’re taking you on a local tour where Biscayne Bay meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the Grove transforms into our version of the Amalfi Coast.

Let’s go on a viaggio italiano—Grove-style.
