"Featuring international modern and contemporary art, the museum’s collection showcases the diversity of the 20th and 21st century through art from the US Latino experience, the African diaspora, and Latin America and the Caribbean.

It has wide-open spaces and outstanding views, making it a must in all the things to do in Miami."

"South BeachPasta, polenta, and a killer wine list highlight the best of this family-owned cozy Italian spot where James Beard semi-finalist Mike Pirolo cranks out fresh made noodles while his sister Jacqueline curates one of the city’s most impressive vino collections. Signature dishes include cavatelli Macchialina made with baby meatballs, porchetta, and pecorino, and short rib and taleggio lasagna made with a creamy bechamel that’s out of this world. It’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for both a special occasion or that random Tuesday night carb craving."

"Macchialina, which comes from the words “macchia,” meaning mark or spot, and “maialina,” meaning piglets, aims to be reminiscent of a “small rustic eatery in the heart of any Italian town.” Under chef and owner Michael Pirolo’s lead, it serves up well-executed Italian classics like veal parm, branzino, cacio pepe, alongside with some interesting twists, like broccolini Caesar salad."

"Italian food can get very expensive to eat in Miami Beach, but Macchialina’s is one place to get your pasta fix for less than $30 per person. They have staples like Lasagna, Caccio e Pepe and Spaghetti, that are of course handmade pasta. However, you can even get Branzino and Veal here if you are cutting down on carbs."

It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."
