The Wine & Beverage Experience at Donna Mare
At Donna Mare Italian Chophouse, every glass tells a story. Our beverage program isn't just about what you drink, it's about how it makes you feel, who you share it with, and the memories you create along the way. Pull up a chair, caro amico, and let us pour you something extraordinary.
An Italian Love Affair in Every Bottle
Here's a little secret from our home in Italy: the best wine tasting Miami Beach experiences don't shout, they invite. Our all-organic, Italian-leaning wine collection celebrates the art of low-intervention winemaking, where nature leads and human hands follow with reverence. Every bottle on our list is organically farmed, with most carrying biodynamic certifications that honor both the land and the legacy of centuries-old traditions.
We've curated a selection that dances between the familiar and the adventurous, inviting you to explore indigenous grape varietals from their historical homes. Imagine sipping a crisp Falanghina from Campania while the ocean breeze drifts through our dining room, or discovering the mineral-driven elegance of Vermentino from Sardinia as the sun sets over Miami Beach. These aren't just wines, they're liquid postcards from Italy's most enchanting regions.
Our partnership with smaller producers means every bottle carries a story worth telling. From the bright, coastal character of DO Ferrero Albariño to the bold, commanding presence of Damilano Brunate Barolo, each selection has been chosen with the same care an Italian nonna uses to select produce at the morning market. Whether you're drawn to sparkling celebrations, crisp whites, delicate rosés, or robust reds, our wine menu enhances the traditional Italian cuisine dancing from our kitchen.
Looking for the perfect pairing? Trust us, your taste buds will thank you when you discover how a Gamay from Beaujolais whispers sweet nothings to our handmade pasta, or how a noble Nebbiolo sings in perfect harmony with our 30-day dry-aged ribeye.
Cocktails That Capture La Dolce Vita
If our wine program is poetry, our cocktail menu is pure theatre. Each creation reflects Miami's irrepressible energy channeled through an Italian lens, where playful sophistication meets old-world charm.
The star of our show? The Espresso-Self, a seductive reimagining of the classic espresso martini that's become our signature. Head Bartender David Arocha created this masterpiece as "an invitation to pause and rediscover life's most passionate moments—starting with yourself." Bounty Premium Dark Rum dances with velvety Mozart Chocolate Cream and Disaronno Amaretto, creating a perfect balance of nutty sophistication and pure indulgence. Topped with cocoa powder and a ladyfinger biscuit (because you deserve extra indulgence), every sip celebrates the art of self-pleasure born from Miami Beach nights.
For those craving a taste of the Amalfi Coast, the Velvet Sgroppino sparkles with refreshing charm. This lively twist on an Italian classic combines sparkling wine with silky limoncello sorbet, a sophisticated palate cleanser that's equally perfect as an aperitivo or a light dessert.
But if you're ready for true theatrical flair, gather your favorite people and order the When in Roma ($28). This dramatic showstopper arrives in a sculpture-shaped glass designed for sharing, blending Rhum J.M. Agricole Blanc, Aperol, passion fruit purée, and pineapple juice into a tropical-meets-Mediterranean masterpiece.
The Corner Cafe offers yet another delightful surprise, a Sambuca-forward remix of the espresso martini that pays homage to Italian café culture with a decidedly modern twist.
