Upon arriving in the United States and after ingesting the famous American donuts during the first days there, one then feels the need to sit in an Italian restaurant that provides refreshment not only for those Italians on vacation who are looking for cooking from home, but also and especially for Americans, many of them VIPs.
In Miami, in fact, it is quite possible to imagine eating in a restaurant and realize that at the next table is Ricky Martin, or rather Shaquille O’Neal or Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez or many other stars (even Italian ones) who have chosen to live in Miami.
This world is well-known to Maurizio Farinelli, who has been living and working in Miami since 1991 and has been working in the restaurant business since he was a young man. “In our restaurants - la Trattoria Sole, Blu la Pizzeria del Sole in South Miami and Blu Pizza e Cucina in the Mary Brickell Village, that make up the Blù Restaurants Group- we have served many famous people”, Farinelli tells us.
“The main reason for our success is, without a doubt, the excellent cuisine managed by Riccardo Tognozzi, our Tuscan Executive Chef from Arezzo along with our moderate prices in comparison to other Miami restaurants.
“Where eating becomes a passion” isn’t only our slogan, it’s a promise: a promise to delight our guests with fresh, quality Italian products in a menu that caters to all tastes, that goes from more sophisticated dishes to our fabulous brick-oven pizzas, all in an atmosphere that is casual-chic!”.
Moreover, in this true flavour boutique you can’t miss the collection of international wines; rich and excellent Italian labels where the Tuscan wines stand out for importance and variety. And it is Chianti that is, in fact, the leading player in several of Riccardo Tognozzi’s specialties, and more precisely in his stew made with Brunello di Montalcino and porcini mushrooms. Tuscan delicacies in the shade of Miami palm trees, everything is possible!
