NYC FAVORITE FELICE BRINGS TUSCAN FARE TO BRICKELL

Felice, the popular Tuscan dining spot from New York City, has opened its new flagship Miami location, Felice Brickell, in Miami. Pronounced “Fe-Lee-Che,” which means “happy” in Italian, the restaurant offers a family-oriented approach to Tuscan-inspired cuisine.

Executive chefs Roberto Consiglio and Luigi Bailon lead the kitchen, offering a menu that features Tuscan cuisine for lunch, aperitivo, and dinner. Start with options like the soup of the day, crostone ricotta with honey and figs, or savory zeppole with prosciutto. Salads include a quinoa mix with avocado and almonds or the seared salmon Nizzarda. For heartier fare, try the veal meatballs in tomato sauce, baked eggplant parmigiana, or a pasta dish such as tonnarelli alla carbonara or lasagna tradizionale. Main courses feature selections like Faroe Island salmon, oven-roasted branzino, and a prime NY strip steak, complemented by sides such as crispy Brussels sprouts and sautéed spinach. The wine list includes a variety of Chiantis, Brunellos, and Sangioveses, many from founder Jacopo Giustiniani’s vineyard.

Felice Brickell marks the restaurant's first Miami location and the first Miami venture for SA Hospitality Group. The restaurant is inspired by Giustiniani’s grandfather, whose influence and teachings in their Italian kitchen inspired the restaurant’s namesake, Felice. The group are also part owners of celebrity hotspots Sant Ambroeus and Casa Lever and have restaurant locations in Manhattan, Roslyn, Southampton, East Hampton, West Palm Beach, Aspen, and Milan.

The interior reflects a classic Italian restaurant with large brass pendant lights, walls adorned with artwork and mirrors, and earth-toned vases and floral arrangements. Felice Brickell embraces Miami’s tropical climate with a spacious patio for outdoor dining.

Felice Brickell is now open for lunch and dinner at 1450 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL 33131, Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Happy Hour is available Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and brunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
