For more than 20 years, Caffe Abbracci in Coral Gables has offered Italian fine dining in a handsome and romantic Continental atmosphere. People-watching is always fascinating, as many high-profile locals and celebrities frequent this elegant eatery, but owner Nino Pernetti and his attentive staff treat each and every guest like family. (Abbracci is Italian for "hug.") The authentic northern Italian menu includes hot and cold antipasti, grilled seafood dishes, creamy risottos, beef tenderloin, and fresh pastas such as black ravioli (made with squid ink) along with a lengthy wine list.
Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner and late-night nightly.
"Clubby, smoky, handsome... The crowds come as much for the status as for the food. But pasta ... shrimp ... and fish ... are a lure in themselves."
