In fact, the name “Casadonna” is derived from the setting—it is a fusion of Italian words translating to “house of the woman.”Riviera-style Italian cooking serves as the heart of Casadonna’s cuisine. The menu features the freshest and finest local and imported products, with signature handcrafted dishes. Plates are based around traditional recipes found in the coastal towns of Naples, Taormina, Bari, Positano and Gaeta, and each is presented in a contemporary fashion.

Byblos is our favorite restaurant on Miami Beach. We send all of our friends and they are never disappointed. The food, the ambience, the service and the management are all stellar. If you have only one meal on the beach, make it here.

A few years ago we discovered Betsy's and couldn't wait to return. The bread is a highlight! My daughter had the short ribs that were recommended by our server, absolutely amazing. All 4 of our meals were fantastic and we couldn't recommend Betsy's more.

Staff at Oh Mexico, Washington st, are very kind and helpful. We have eaten there dozens of times, and they always are—from manager to server. Last night the service was truly outstanding. My wife and I were dining on an outside table on Espanola, when a fight between two men started in the street. With the attack falling into our line of tables. It was over quickly, but customers scattered, all the staff, led by the manager asked all of us how we were, and if we needed attention. They all rose to the care-giving occasion, and did it well. It did appear that few if any customers were affected. Oh Mexico is an outstanding restaurant with outstanding staff
