Amalia, South Beach
Based inside the lush Lenox Hotel, Amalia delivers on all fronts: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if I were to recommend a dish, it would be one of their Argentinian, Italian fusion plates of pasta. From ‘Grandma’s Chef Ñoquis’, to their Ricotta & Pear Fiocchi, these carb-heavy options are sure to satisfy. Aside from the excellent food, those who appreciate Art-Deco interiors will delight in the aesthetics of this new Miami spot.
