Zucca in Coral Gables is the type of restaurant that not only offers the type of ambiance where diners can escape from the bustle of the outside world but one that perfectly mixes elegance and fine food for those who visit. Not only does it feel like you step into a different world, but it does not shy away from offering a dining experience where elegance and great service meet right in the middle.
Recently, I had the chance to visit Zucca for dinner. While I was excited to visit, I was floored by the ambiance once I stepped inside. I promise you that you will feel the same way.
Not only does Zucca offer authentic Italian dishes, such as perfectly prepped pasta, but it also offers delicious steaks, steak carpaccio, and a delectable charcuterie board, which we tried during our visit.
That said, we recommend a visit to the restaurant for Miami Spice. The menu not only offers some of the greatest hits from their usually offered menu items but also some amazing cocktails and a selection of upscale wines by the bottle.
We had a chance to visit for dinner and were truly impressed by the elegant selections offered. At $60 per person for the three-course meal, it’s one of the best places to come before Miami Spice ends at the restaurant.
However, this story is not strictly about the Miami affordable dining event. While we were there to sample the menu, the items were available beyond the restaurant event in the city. So, think about this story as one in which we recommend some of the items that we tried and enjoyed at the restaurant for dinner.
For appetizers, we truly enjoyed the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, made with white beech mushrooms, grana padano cheese, and summer truffles. Then there’s the Palline di Patate Croccante su Salmone Marinato, perfectly crispy potato balls with Parmigiano cream, prosciutto crudo, and truffled eggs.
When we got to our main course, we enjoyed Agnolotti Ripieno di Agnello, fresh agnolotti pasta filled with lamb, artichokes, and mint crema. We highly recommend the restaurant’s Flat Iron Steak, a select cut of meat accompanied by potato croquettes, gorgonzola cheese, and cherry tomatoes.
As for dessert and cocktails, make sure try the Homemade Tiramisu, which is the sweetest way to end a meal. This one went lovely with one of the cocktail offerings on the menu, the White Wine Spritz with house white wine, lemon and Prosecco.
Top the night off with the restaurant’s Limoncello and maybe some Italian coffee and you’ll leave delighted after a fancy and beautiful culinary journey at Zucca in Coral Gables.
