"The gist: Giorgio Rapicivoli gets into his Italian roots, opening up shop along Coral Gables’ sunny Giralda Plaza.The food: We knew it was only a matter of time until Chopped champ and local restaurant impresario Giorgio Rapicivoli delved into the world of Italian cuisine. As expected, he’s put some genius twists on the standards, like wagyu beef carpaccio with crispy sunchokes and little gem lettuce with cacio y pepe dressing. The pastas are all worth a try, though the short rib Bolognese will have you rethinking every meat sauce you’ve ever had."

If you’re looking for a traditional restaurant setting, this isn’t the place for you, but if you want some damn good fried chicken, this is one of the best places to eat in Miami’s Little Haiti.
