FRANCESCO – Italian
A Peruvian kitchen with Italian instincts, back on Miracle Mile after reopening in Coral Gables. Seafood is the reason to book: tiradito Francesco, pulpo a la parrilla under warm chimichurri, causa oriental with crispy fish and togarashi aioli, and a catch of the day flambeed in cognac. Squid ink risotto with grilled calamari is a longtime holdover; newer plates include seared scallops with walnut-sauce spaghetti and a double-cut pork chop over carapulcra. Diners single out the ceviche and the risotto, and few leave without the tres leches. Refined, and unhurried about it.
