Prime Italian |
Adding an Italian accent to the sizzling atmosphere
of nearby Prime One Twelve is Prime Italian, the pricey SoFi sister restaurant
which may be as much
about LeBron as it is about LeFood. Portions are as oversized as South
Beach's most famous new baller so guests may find themselves awed by
both the celebrity clientele and the grapefruit sized meatballs (if not
the check)! Try not to fill up on the hot buttery garlic loaf presented
at the opening of every meal alongside a bowl of delicious marinara
sauce. The massive Kobe meatball topped with creamy ricotta cheese sets
the stage for updated Italian entrees sized to share unless you've just
stepped off the basketball court. All of the sizzling steaks that make a
night at Prime One Twelve so satisfying are also available here.
Many locals prefer Prime Italian to the sometimes
overwhelming Prime One Twelve crowds, finding many of their favorite menu options
travel easily from door to door. Take advantage of the best of both
worlds by sharing a perfectly grilled steak paired with an Italian
favorite.
The top seats in the house are closest to the windows or out
on the patio if weather permits. While a lively dining room can be a
plus in a town like South Beach, some may find the noise levels closer
to the back of the house unpleasant.
Wherever you sit, expect friendly
service, delicious smoked meats & cheeses plus menu standouts like
toothsome risotto and tender short ribs with house made gnocchi. Fans of
family-friendly Italian restaurants may experience sticker shock at the
presentation of the check so be warned that a quiet lunch may be a
better time to sample the kitchen's efforts like pizza, sandwiches and
that gooey, cheesy bread.
It's tough to find room for dessert even if you've
exercised judicious restraint with the menu. The signature sweet at
Prime Italian is the deliciously goofy fried Oreo cookie, a lowbrow
confection paired with ice cream and sauce that garners plenty of
attention. True chocolate lovers should opt instead for the chocolate
souffle, an airy masterpiece served with tart black cherries and fresh
cream. Best enjoyed with a crowd and easiest to digest if someone else
is footing the bill, Prime Italian rolls at the speed of South Beach
seven nights a week!
