Escopazzo Editor's Pick

Escopazzo Miami Beach

Escopazzo on Washington Avenue

Escopazzo is a tour de force in top-notch Italian dining, and a South Beach treasure best known for its cozy Tuscan atmosphere and genuine Italian hospitality. Not a "mama’s kitchen" type Italian restaurant, Escopazzo’s chef Pino is famous for his sophisticated spin on earthy Tuscan specialties.

A recent expansion to sixty seats has had no adverse affect on Escopazzo’s intimate atmosphere, and we’re glad that getting a reservation isn’t quite the challenge it used to be.

Fluffy risotto and hand made pastas are a specialty of the house, but less known is Pino’s wizardry with meats and seafood. Snapper baked in a balsamic "crust" is a delectable menu mainstay, and transparent Swordfish Carpaccio will melt in your mouth.

Review:  We are recent 2nd-home owners in MB, and don't know the restos well yet. Ate here with some local friends who have been devotees for years. They made lots of disclaimers before we arrived: location, no outdoor seating, dowdy. All true. But the outstanding food, calm ambiance, and truly INCREDIBLE and innovative cooking beat all !
