A touch of the Amalfi Coast has arrived South of Fifth in Miami Beach. A collaboration between Gino Iovino of Girasole in Atlantic City, Franco Ricatti and Michelin-starred Chef Cosimo Cassano of Bacco Osteria in Puglia, Italy, Amare Ristorante is the new official home of the XVII Closing Dinner and Award Ceremony on October 15th 2019.

Amare, which means ‘to love’ in Italian, is a true family-owned restaurant. We ensure every ingredient in our kitchen is of the most superior quality possible, and use a clean, simple preparation to let the purity of flavors shine. All of their dishes are cooked to order from scratch. Every meal is handcrafted with unhurried care. It’s the sort of pride and passion we find to be all too rare these days. But, it’s the same authenticity and homemade style that has kept guests returning for 30 years, ever since they opened the doors of their first restaurant.
