After Nearly 30 Years in Business, Perricone’s is Closing For Good - Eater Miami

"The restaurant, owned by Steve Perricone, is closing after 27 years in business. Known for its family-friendly atmosphere, it announced the news on May 3, stating that the last day of operation would be May 16. The original location opened on October 16, 1996, in Brickell, across from a city park. Perricone aimed to bring a touch of Central Park’s Tavern on the Green to Miami. Despite initial doubts about the location, the restaurant became a popular spot for Brickell’s thriving community. In 2020, Perricone reopened the cafe and market in West Brickell amidst the global pandemic. Now, at the age of 70, Perricone has decided to close the restaurant to spend more time with his family." - Laine Doss
