Black and white movies featuring some of the most iconic legends in showbiz, drinks being poured in Gatsby-Esque coupe glasses, and delicious food with every turn you take—this is the charm of the 20th Century. This is Osteria Del Teatro, Miami’s oldest award-winning Italian restaurant, situated in the boutique Marlin Hotel in the Art Deco district of South Beach. Providing the perfect blend of atmosphere, taste, and tradition, the Old World comfort combined with new Miami style is what has contributed to the restaurant’s success for more than 30 years, says longtime owner Gilbert Gonzalez. As you walk through the doors, the exposed brick walls, vintage Edison bulbs, and tufted dark leather booths set the scene for a trendy culinary experience for visitors and locals alike. Start your night with a Sofia Loren cocktail in the lounge before embarking on a tasty ride experiencing fan favorites such as the South African Black Tiger Shrimp, homemade pasta, and even decadent desserts like a classic tiramisù or vanilla bean crème brûlée. With carefully chosen ingredients, the kitchen team here ensures every guest is treated like family.
