Fodor's Expert Review Bocce

A splendid slice of the Italian countryside thrives in Miami's trendy Midtown area, and the impressive 3,200-square-foot enclave houses a beautifully appointed rustic Italian restaurant, Miami's first official bocce court, and a throwback-style Italian market. Mosaic-tiled floors, antique mirrors, and exposed wood beams set the scene indoors while towering cypress trees, a traditional bocce court, and alfresco seating aplenty define the front patio. Spectacular design notwithstanding, it's the food that headlines the overall Bocce Bar experience. The small-plates sharing menu is a gastronomic tour through Italy with a modern twist. Dishes are beautifully presented, often accented by edible flowers, and never fall below a caliber of blow-your-mind deliciousness.
