Miami welcomes a new culinary gem as Felice, a renowned Tuscan restaurant from New York, expands its footprint with a vibrant new location in Brickell. Known for its authentic Italian cuisine and warm ambiance, Felice has already carved a niche in cities like New York City, Brooklyn, and Long Island, and now brings its flavors to South Florida’s bustling dining scene.
Founded by Jacopo Giustiniani in 2007 under the SA Hospitality Group, Felice pays homage to Italian culinary traditions, particularly from the Tuscan region. Each Felice location, including its latest in Brickell, tailors its menu to reflect the local palate while maintaining the essence of Tuscan cooking. Culinary director Iacopo Filai, alongside executive chefs Roberto Consiglio and Luigi Bailon, curate a menu that promises to delight Miami diners.
Among the highlights of Felice’s menu is the spaghettino Felicetti alla diavolo, featuring Felicetti pasta, renowned for its quality. The restaurant also offers fixed-price menus, making it accessible for both weekday lunches and Sunday evening dining experiences.
Felice in Brickell boasts a spacious indoor dining area, complemented by a patio featuring 20 tables—a perfect setting for enjoying meals outdoors during Miami’s milder seasons. The wine list at Felice is a celebration of Italian varietals, featuring everything from robust Brunellos to elegant Chiantis, alongside a selection of organic wines. The restaurant also includes a dedicated bar area, a mezzanine bar ideal for private events, and offers takeout options for those craving Felice’s flavors at home.
Jacopo Giustiniani, reflecting on Felice’s expansion into Miami, emphasized the restaurant’s commitment to fostering a sense of community through food. “We pride ourselves on being a neighborhood restaurant,” Giustiniani stated, highlighting the role of good food in bringing people together.
