A new restaurant is in the works on Ninth Street in Miami Beach, between Washington Avenue and Collins Court, near the Moxy South Beach. Called Barilette, it’s opening at 229 Ninth St, according to plan review paperwork submitted by Al Baretto LLC.
What Now reached out on Wednesday to owner Allegra Intignano to inquire about plans for Barilette. Intignano declined to make any immediate comment on the project, but What Now is awaiting more information.
We couldn’t work out for sure what the name Barilette would mean here. Al Baretto, the name of the LLC, sounds like “little bar.” Barilette could also be a diminutive play on the same word bar. So, at the very least, we’re expecting drinks.
Opening in the Ninth Street location, Barilette will join a community of restaurants that include Bonchon, The Baked Bear, Serena, and Pizza Rustica South Beach.
Stay tuned for possible updates as more details are revealed.
