With restaurants in both Miami and on the West Coast in Las Vegas, Vida & Estilo Hospitality is continuing to build out its presence in South Florida, where it operates restaurants like Havana 1957, Barsecco, and Osteria del Mar. Up next for the group is Donatella Restaurant, opening at the Nakash Group’s Orcidea Boutique Hotel, according to a press release provided to What Now by a representative.
“Donatella Restaurant is poised to become a destination in its own right, bringing the timeless flavors of Italy to Miami Beach,” says the press release. “Each dish will be crafted with fresh, authentic ingredients that capture the essence of Italy’s culinary heritage. The menu highlights fresh, artisanal pastas like Linguini alla Vongole, Black Truffle Cacio e Pepe, and Risotto Frutti di Mare, alongside elevated mains like Wagyu Ribeye, Dover Sole, and Skull Island Prawns.”
Donatella is joining a historic setting, the hotel having been originally designed by Wallace Tutt back in 1922. Now, the Orcidea “exudes historic charm with its timeless exterior,” while, inside, it features “a sophisticated blend of natural textures, gold accents, and artistic details, evoking the essence of Mediterranean elegance.”
What Now reached out on Tuesday to Vida & Estilo CEO Matias Pesce to inquire further about the details of Donatella’s menu and anticipated launch date. For now, the press release says only, “Early 2025.”
