CAFFE PORTOFINO – Italian
An Italian dining room on South Dixie Highway in south Miami-Dade that lets a little Caribbean into the kitchen. Evenings only, with an early dinner window before half past six. Starters cover homemade fresh burrata, salmon carpaccio, short rib cake, seared tuna tostone and portobello eggplant Napolitano. Pasta and risotto reach linguine alle vongole, spaghetti frutti di mare, lobster ravioli, braised beef ravioli, risotto Dolce Vita and risotto champagne. The kitchen's signature is ossobuco di vitello, flanked by veal Francese, Milanese and a rack of lamb. Guava tart sits beside the tiramisu. A family-friendly room, unhurried, pitched squarely at regulars.
