The shoreline of Miami Beach looked less like a public beach and more like a curated luxury arena this past weekend as the Global Champions Arabians Tour returned for its highly anticipated Miami Beach stage.

MIAMI BEACH, FL — Italian concept Cotoletta officially entered the Miami Beach dining scene in December 2025, opening its second South Florida location in the high-profile South of Fifth neighborhood. The move builds on the momentum of the restaurant’s Coconut Grove debut, which quickly resonated with local diners.
The expansion comes from 84 Magic Hospitality, led by partners Ignacio Lopez Mancisidor and Mattia Cicognani. With the new outpost, the team continues to emphasize what it describes as a return to more personal, experience-driven hospitality — a philosophy that has shaped the brand since its launch.
Rather than offering an extensive menu, Cotoletta maintains a tightly focused concept rooted in Northern Italian tradition. The Miami Beach location, situated at 840 1st Street, centers the dining experience around the restaurant’s namesake dish: a bone-in veal Milanese finished with rosemary and lemon zest.
A Streamlined, Shareable Format
The restaurant’s prix-fixe-style offering is designed for two guests, priced at $90. The meal begins with a rotating selection of seasonal antipasti before moving into the signature cotoletta. Diners can round out the experience with one of three classic sides: spaghetti al pomodoro e basilico, house fries, or an arugula salad with heritage tomatoes and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Desserts, each priced at $14, continue the traditional Italian theme. Options include a flourless chocolate cake, raspberry cheesecake, and the Vanil Affogato Supreme — a pairing of Italian gelato and double espresso that underscores the restaurant’s back-to-basics approach.
Thoughtful Beverage Pairings
To complement the menu, the Miami Beach outpost rolled out a curated beverage program. The wine list highlights approachable Italian selections, including a Chianti Classico from a family-run vineyard and a bright Vermentino suited to South Florida’s climate.
The bar program also introduces Italian craft beers, Prosecco-based aperitifs, and signature cocktails inspired by staples like Campari and Limoncello. For guests avoiding alcohol, the team added a rosemary-forward non-alcoholic cocktail to the lineup.
Building on Early Momentum
Since its initial launch in Coconut Grove, Cotoletta has positioned itself as a neighborhood-driven concept that appeals to a wide range of diners, particularly families seeking a shareable, tradition-focused meal. The South of Fifth opening marks the group’s fourth restaurant in the United States and signals continued growth for the hospitality team.
As Miami Beach’s dining landscape continues to evolve, Cotoletta’s formula — a singular signature dish, restrained menu, and emphasis on warm service — adds another distinctly Italian option to the neighborhood’s increasingly competitive restaurant mix.
