VIVO – Italian
A Calle Ocho dining room in West Miami, on the stretch of SW 8th Street where Cuban cooking is the default. Vivo works outward from that base — Cuban plates alongside international ones, built on locally sourced produce — with pork tenderloin and filet mignon the dishes guests name most often. Wine and beer, tables outside, vegan and gluten-free accommodated. Closed Sundays.
