2214 NE 123rd St, Miami  33181 • 305-891-3312

Everything at this friendly kosher deli is homemade with the finest and freshest ingredients available. Try Sara's Special Breakfast, which features the works: scrambled eggs, French toast, home fries, chalee roll and baygels (that's how they spell it), juice and coffee. Satisfy your a.m. sweet tooth with fabulous mini-Danishes, challah or traditional rugelach, an authentic kosher pastry. Or go with classic baygels spread with cream cheese and hand-sliced Norwegian salmon. The casual environment and quirky sense of humor have made this a local favorite.

The Palm
(Restaurants - Italian)
9650 E Bay Harbor Dr, Bay Harbor Island  33154 • 305-868-7256
Distance: ~5.10 mi *
        Description: BAY HARBOR ISLANDS. Everything is BIG here, so make sure you show up with a hearty appetite. This New York-style chophouse has fashioned itself after the famous steakhouse in Manhattan. The fun, nostalgic decor includes clubby dark woods, comfortable booths and caricatures adorning the walls. Steak is the focus here, but the jumbo-sized Maine lobster tail is also one of the more popular menu options. They don't boast of being fancy, everything is plain and simple. But rest assured – the reputation has created legions of loyal followers who care more about savoring strip steak than spotting supermodels.

Café Ragazzi
(Restaurants - Italian)
9500 Harding Ave, Surfside  33154-2502 • 305-866-4495
Distance: ~5.31 mi *
        Description: SURFSIDE. Friendly confines and first-rate service are the trademarks of this unpretentious Italian eatery, located north of Miami Beach. Start off your meal with one of their irresistible appetizers: from steamed mussels to carpaccio, you can't choose unwisely. Then titillate your taste buds with the likes of breaded veal scallopine, grilled salmon with radicchio and rosemary, garlicky penne putanesca, and what many regard as the area's top osso bucco. Of course, you'd be remiss not to save room for one of their homemade desserts ... besides, is it really ever a good idea to pass on tiramisu? Since the secret is out on this family-owned restaurant, you can expect to wait for a table, especially on weekends. Reservations suggested for a party of 3 or more.

(Restaurants - Italian)
414 71st St, Miami Beach  33141-3016 • 305-867-0106
Distance: ~7.30 mi *
        Description: MIAMI BEACH. A relaxing departure from the oft-times overwhelming SoBe restaurant circuit, this comfortable restaurant is ideal for those looking to enjoy a quiet evening, friendly service, and superb homestyle Italian cuisine. Chef Arturo Cea's innovative menu boasts such fabulous dishes as Linguine Putanesca Bianca with black olives, capers, and anchovies; Gnocchi Formaggio with a selection of different cheeses; sautéed Vitello Chef Arturo with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula; and Corvina Capesante sautéed with shrimp and scallops. For dessert – and missing dessert at this Italian gem would be a mistake of the highest order – make sure to save room for Papa Arturo's Tiramisu, Flan with Dulce de Leche, and strawberry-stuffed Profiteroles. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Spris
(Restaurants - Italian)
721 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach  33139 • 305-673-2020
Distance: ~11.75 mi *
        Description: SOUTH BEACH. Bask in the sun and scope out the foot traffic as you lounge al fresco at casual, affordable Spris. Impossibly thin-crusted pizzas baked in a wood-burning oven are the draw, topped with broccoli, capers, marinated eggplant, calamari, artichoke hearts, prosciutto, mozzarella and sausage. Calzones and panini are reliably hearty as well. Although creative salads appeal to vigilant figure-watchers, the tiramisu is worthy of a little diet digression.
