Global Twist
Two of South Florida’s most celebrated hospitality groups — Graspa Group and Ariete Hospitality — have joined forces in a first-of-its-kind culinary collaboration. The newly launched Da Angelino Cucina Italiana in Cocowalk blends old-world warmth with modern sophistication. Interiors feature earthy terra-cotta, soft sage tones, and white-linen tables, while a garden patio offers lush alfresco dining. Additional personal touches, such as a vintage Polaroid photo station, contribute to the restaurant’s family-first feel. The menu spans Italy’s regions from north to south, offering sharable boards, land and sea dishes and pasta rolled fresh each day. For lighter bites, Italian-style small plates include Arancini and Mini Calzoni; while seasonal salads like the Burrata Caprese and seafood-forward Di Mare bring fresh, flavorful options. House-made pastas are at the heart of the menu, with highlights like tableside Cacio e Pepe alla Ruota and Gnocchi alla Vodka. A thoughtfully curated wine list and world-class creative cocktails round out the experience; DaAngelino.com.
Flame Reborn
The iconic Hereford Grill is back, and it’s not just reopening, it’s reinventing itself. After its pandemic pause, the legendary steakhouse is stepping into the spotlight once again, this time with Da Silva Hospitality (of Zucca fame) at the helm. Think moody elegance, fire-kissed flavors, and a menu that feels both familiar and daring. The heart of the experience? Steaks cooked over wood and charcoal — American Wagyu, Certified Angus, and specialty cuts that turn dinner into theater. But it doesn’t stop at the grill. Expect house-made chorizo, playful riffs on classic steakhouse salads, and sides that steal the show — organic carrots glazed with garlic confit, sweet potatoes dressed in smoked butter, and broccoli with a Dijon kick. Cocktails are equally bold, inspired by frontier legends and poured with a touch of swagger. Hereford Grill isn’t just reopening — it’s reclaiming its place as Miami’s insiders-only table to book this season; HerefordGrill.com.
