A new modern Italian restaurant is coming to Coconut Grove’s CocoWalk this September: Da Angelino Cucina Italiana.
Behind Da Angelino are two formidable hospitality companies, Graspa Group and Ariete Hospitality Group, joining forces in a project that represents something new for each one. It represents “Graspa Group’s long-anticipated entry into Coconut Grove and Ariete Hospitality’s first Italian concept,” says a press release put out this week.
The menu will feature Antipasti and Crudo like Tuna Tartare, Polpo all Griglia, and Frittura Mista, along with a variety of charcuterie boards. There will be Stuzzichini like Arancini and Mini Calzoni, or other light bites like Burrata Caprese. That’s all alongside house-made pastas like Cacio e Pepe alla Ruota, Gnocchi alla Vodka, and Linguine ai Frutti di Mare, accompanied by a wine list that allows guests to experience a “thoughtful, curated journey through Italy and beyond.”
“We’ve dreamed of opening an Italian restaurant in the Grove for years,” Ariete Hospitality CEO Andrew Falsetto said in the press release. “But we knew we had to do it with the right partners. Graspa Group brings decades of award-winning flavor, service and soul.”
The restaurant space encompasses 4,441 square feet, with seating for 150 in an indoor dining room and outdoor patio.
“The interiors feature warm terra-cotta and soft sage tones, with crisp white linen tablecloths on every table,” says the press release. “Outside, the patio provides a lush yet relaxed setting for alfresco dining. Additional personal touches, such as a vintage Polaroid photo station, contribute to the restaurant’s family-first feel.”
