Well located on Ocean Drive just opposite the busy strand, Café Milano imports Mediterranean glamour to South Beach. The Italian menus feature frittatas and mimosas to start the day; pastas and panini at lunch; fish and beef carpaccios, homemade gnocchi and risotto, and Florentine-style beef at dinner. While sidewalk tables are much in demand, fern trees in the light-suffused interior lend a patio feel to the indoor dining room.
