"After a brief stint as a well-received pop-up in 2019, Erba is back — with a new permanent location in Coral Gables. The newcomer from the Alpareno Group, from chef Niven Patel and Mohamed Alkassar, showcases classic Italian dishes with Florida twists. Erba, Italian for 'herb,' features Patel’s melding of Italian and Miami flavors, reflecting the city's diverse cultural influences. Menu standouts include Roman hearts of palm, mafaldine with Bahamian conch instead of traditional clams, and a reimagined tiramisu infused with tres leches, a nod to Miami’s diverse background." - Olee Fowler
