This is my first review of a restaurant on this site and I have to honestly say there is no better way to start. I am an international corporate and airline pilot. I have dined in the finest restaurants North America and Europe have to offer. Without a doubt, this is where you want to eat. Chris Dipietro?s Venivici is a restaurant that?s friendly and unpretentious, casual but classy enough to make a movie star (of whom I have flown several) feel special. If you live near by you?ll love to walk over, but don?t mind a drive if the streets are familiar. It won?t take forever to find a parking space. You can just show up at the door and know Chris will get you a table before not too long. Chris is an amazing host; inviting you in to what seems to be his own home that has historical art deco styling. I think I have found my favorite place to dine and enjoy a bottle of fine wine when in Miami. One last note, when you dine there the first time the menu is just a formality. Chris will enlighten you as to the freshest and finest assortment of fare he has to offer that day. Venivici, Miami?s best kept secret.
Pros: Chris
Cons: Did not know about it sooner.
