Farm & Sea to Table Dining at Donna Mare Italian Chophouse
In the heart of Miami Beach, where the ocean breeze carries whispers of la dolce vita, Donna Mare Italian Chophouse transforms the simple act of dining into an unforgettable celebration. Here, generations of family recipes meet the bounty of land and sea, creating moments that linger long after the last bite.
A Heritage Rooted in Tradition
Nestled alongside the iconic Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, Donna Mare, immediately transports you to Italy's storied culinary landscape. The theatrical open kitchen serves as the heart of this experience, where Executive Chef Luigi Iannuario transforms time-honored traditions into moments of pure pleasure.
Watch as fresh pasta takes shape before your eyes, each ribbon and fold a testament to centuries of Italian craftsmanship. The aromatic allure of wood-fired pizzas fills the air, their crusts achieving that perfect balance of char and chew that only authentic Italian techniques can deliver.
Prime Cuts That Tell a Story
For those seeking the finest steak restaurant Miami Beach has to offer, Donna Mare delivers an experience worthy of celebration. We focus exclusively on USDA Prime, the premier grade of beef with each cut hand-selected and perfectly aged. Our 30-day dry-aged steaks represent the pinnacle of this commitment, where time and expertise unite to create something magnificent.
From first slice to last bite, our prime-aged steaks tell a story of patience and passion. The showstopper? Our legendary 45oz Fiorentina, a giant three-inch-thick masterpiece on the bone that commands attention and conversation in equal measure. This is dry aged steak Miami at its most theatrical, a shared experience that embodies the spirit of Italian feasting.
Our organicDonna Mare Chicken Parm, featuring a five-blend of cheeses, and the milk-fed Veal Cotoletta alla Milanese with arugula and tomato showcase the same dedication to quality. Whether you're craving steak and seafood Miami style or exploring our diverse menu, every dish reflects our unwavering standards.
Treasures from the Sea
Like an Italian coast morning market, each day brings new treasures from the water. Our oyster bar Miami proudly features selections from Central Florida's Treasure Coast Shellfish, cultivated by CEO and aquaculture biologist Nicolette Mariano. These fresh oysters Miami sources directly embody our farm and sea to table philosophy, sustainably raised, expertly harvested, and presented at their absolute peak.
Your search for the best oysters in Miami Beach ends here. Discover our rotating selection that showcases these pristine bivalves in their full glory, each one a briny kiss from Florida's coastal waters. Paired with our wood-fired seafood preparations, the ocean's bounty takes center stage in dishes that transport you straight to Italy's sun-drenched shores.
The crown jewel of our seafood offerings is the Chitarra Frutti di Mare, a soulful pasta dish with mussels, rock shrimp, bay scallops, aglio e olio. This dish exemplifies our commitment to transforming premium ingredients into unforgettable culinary moments.
