Piola Pizza direct from Italy "Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant" Brickell - Miami Beach - Weston


Piola Pizza "More than just a pizzeria", Piola Pizza Brickell and Miami Beach locations are located in the trendiest areas of our Magic City - Miami - serving "out of this world thin crust oven pizza's", freshly prepared Gnocchi Pompei, Bruschettas, Spaghetti Sorrento and a full menu of Italian favorites and house specialties.


In 1986, in the heart of Treviso, a new idea takes shape: the re-invention of the most quintessential Italian establishment: the Pizzeria, that idea is now a wonderful reality called Piola.

The success achieved in Italy by Piola has started to spread around the world: Piola's quality is now sought after by discriminating and trend-setting international clientele in the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Turkey, Canada, Honduras, Colombia y Ecuador.


At Piola, the most genuine Italian tradition of simple and delicious food combines cleverly with a particular service and ambiance for the demanding and modern customer, who chooses Piola aware of the fact that feeling comfortable is as important as eating well. People from all walks of life and backgrounds meet and gather at Piola, since they are sure to find their own space in an atmosphere that balances freedom and well being with good taste.


 
Piola's cuisine is rigorously Italian: Simple and healthy. Piola's pizza is thin-crust and well cooked, but above all, Piola's pizza menu is very creative: the classic Italian pizzas are flanked by many other creations, all delicious and original.


 
But Piola is more, much more: Piola opens its doors to culture, hosting film premieres, book and magazine events, art exhibitions and many other social and artistic activities.

Piola also becomes an editor and publisher: Piola's magazine embodies all that Piola brings to its international customers on a daily basis. Thirty-five thousand copies of a fourty eight page, full color, yearly magazine, written in Italy and translated in 4 languages.

Experience the Flavors and Cultures of our Magic City at Miami Culinary Tours

What better way to experience the flavors, culture and people that make up a city, but through the food.  Some of the most popular reality shows today are those that bring us into the kitchens of restaurants, cafe's, food trucks and homes around the world.   We invite you to experience the flavors and cultures of our Magic City at Miami Culinary Tours.


The Miami pioneer’s of culinary tours in the area. With so many flavors colliding into one city, Miami is one of the most exciting culinary destinations – And we’re ready to share it with both adventurous and selective eaters everywhere. After a lot of homework (and a lot of eating), we’ve carefully chosen only the best places in the neighborhoods we offer our food tours so you can sample the most savory dishes and learn about the culture behind the food.

 
Grace Della, Founder, Ethnic Dining Expert & Food Blogger

“We offer a different perspective on Miami because we are food people, we like to experience other cultures and learn about new places through food, we find comfort in such”

Hello! My name is Grace Della. The idea of offering culinary tours came to me over 10 years ago when I first mentioned it to my mother. My mom loves to cook, loves food and learning about different cultures just as much as I do.  I was at my parent’s home and my mom and I were sitting outside overlooking her 60 different varieties of orchids in her lush tropical garden after having a few too many glasses of Malbec wine. I looked inside my mother’s rustic kitchen with copper pans hanging from the ceiling, turn my head back to her and said: “Mom, you have a passion for cooking, you love people and teaching is in your blood, as soon as I get back home I am starting to market cooking classes and culinary tours for you to conduct right here in your beautiful kitchen and picturesque town.”




Today after a decade, my mother gives cooking classes of traditional empanadas and culinary tours that are booked solid every week. It was not my idea nor my online marketing skills that made my mom successful – it was her. I have seen so much love going my mother’s way in the last decade (people that took her cooking class 5 years ago still sends her holiday cards on the mail!). People just connect with her, and I truly believe it is because she is who she is – and she shares her passion for food and her home with such an open and giving heart.


I remember as a little girl that the happiest times at home were when my mom would cook, family would come around and everyone would share stories around the table. I came up with the idea of Miami Culinary Tour’s first tour called the Cuban-Inspired Food Tour back when nobody had ever heard of food tours in Miami. I was lucky to have some of the most passionate people joining my team and believed in my idea. Together we introduce the different flavors that make up Miami with those who share our passion for food.

NAOE Miami Japanese Restaurant on Brickell Key - Chef Kevin Cory


Courtesy of: Forbes Travel Guide

If you're visiting Miami's Brickell Key, don't pass by this gem. In this petite Japanese jewel box, only eight diners can claim seats. Chef/owner Kevin Cory and manager Wendy Maharlika treat you like a guest in their own home. Maharlika holds down the dining room while Cory single-handily prepares every dish that comes out of the kitchen — which means timing can sometimes be off as he keeps pace with the volume. But with food like this, you’ll hardly notice.  (Chef Kevin Cory has received numerous awards since opening NAOE)

Meals start with the chef’s omakase bento box and then proceed to presentation after presentation of pristine and tender sushi delivered until you call uncle. Though the menu changes daily depending on which fish is freshly sourced from Japan and local harbors, recent dishes included housemade egg tofu with uni and miso-butternut squash soup. Housemade barbecue eel is sweet and toothy, and comes topped with the chef’s own special soy sauce. Speaking of soy sauce, it’s the mystery ingredient in the signature ice cream, and it makes for a surprisingly delicious end to the meal.



At the age of 19, Kevin Cory started to learn Japanese Cuisine from Executive Chef, Nobuo Kase. Nobuo Kase was experienced in Kyoto, the former capital of Japan where Kaiseki Ryori, the most sophisticated of Japanese cuisine is found, read full biography... and find out how he has become one of the most recognized Chef's in Miami.


 

R E S E R V A T I O N S

Chef Kevin Cory specializes in natural Japanese cuisine at NAOE®.   Every Monday through Saturday, Chef Kevin Cory serves a unique Chef's Choice menu  $200 per person plus sales tax plus 18% gratuity.

Located on an island off the center of a major city, Brickell Key was first created as an off-shore property in 1896 composed of two small islands by the Father of Miami, Henry Flager. In 1943, Edward N. Claughton Sr. combined them into a single 44-acre island.  Since the late 1970's, Swire developed Brickell Key into a sustainable green community with the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, ASIA and more encompassing the Village Green. NAOE® is located in the middle of town at the Courvoisier Centre

The Area’s First Destination to Combine Café, Epicurean and Nightlife Concepts Opens
 
Segafredo Zanetti Espresso Café, loved around the world for its multi-sensory experience reflecting the lifestyle of the Italian café, opens its newest location at 1421 South Miami Avenue in the downtown Miami / Brickell area. Timed with the burgeoning growth of the Brickell area as well as the beginning of a New Year, Segafredo Brickell takes Italian café culture to a whole new level, featuring an indoor and outdoor seating area and a on-premise boutique nightclub, Spazio Nero (Italian for Black Space).

Segafredo Brickell exudes a posh and luxurious atmosphere while at the same time offering guests the warmth and charm of Italian hospitality. As soon as guests arrive, they are enveloped in the chic yet comfy vibe of Segafredo Brickell’s grounds which feature eclectic antique furniture in the outdoor living room lounge areas.

The elaborate red and white floral design matches Segafredo Zanetti Espresso Café’s signature colors. Inside the venue, exhibiting the same level of chic-meets-comfort as the exterior, guests will experience a true Italian-style café with a coffee bar with barstools, plush red leather couches and free Internet services. The Segafredo Brickell menu identity is based on its Italian heritage and, in addition to favorite espresso drinks and pastries, will offer a large selection of Italian-style food and café, music and signature cocktails.


Located within the restaurant, Spazio Nero is a lavish boutique night club that will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Embodying the nightclub’s name, the décor is outfitted in all things black, from the stylish black leather couches with silver buttons, to the black-tinted mirrors throughout, to the fleur-de-lis textured black-on-black wallpaper. The club features an elevated DJ booth, a one-of-a-kind advanced multi-zoned distribution audio system and a computer controlled lighting program by Infinite Audio Systems.

“Both Segafredo and Spazio Nero alike bring a new lifestyle to Brickell that has been missing until now,” said Segafredo Brickell co-owner Alejandro Ferllen. “We are a stylish café and lounge that’s high-energy and, yet comfortable enough for our guests to enjoy the surroundings; relax amongst friends and have a cup of coffee or a cocktail in a stress-free environment.”

The Brickell area is home to Miami’s most prominent financial entities, luxury high-rise condos and a fast-growing retail corridor – the perfect environment for the establishment’s trendsetting day-to-night concept. Segafredo Brickell offers a place to confer with clients over a cup of coffee, head to lunch breaks with co-workers, or relax and unwind with a cocktail for happy hour and then enjoy your night away at Spazio Nero.
