"Bar Luca has recently opened its doors in the historic Alden Hotel building in Miami Beach, offering a unique blend of traditional and modern Italian-American cuisine. The kitchen is led by executive chef Santo Agnello, who’s also the long-time chef at Miami Beach’s popular pizza spot, Lucali. The venue’s design honors the Art Deco architecture of the building, combining classic Italian elements with modern touches. It includes a 55-seat patio overlooking Indian Creek, a 25-seat lobby, and a 45-seat dining room decorated with wooden tones, terracotta tiles, and accents of leather and rattan. An intimate bar area features a decorative wooden pergola, enhancing the cozy atmosphere." - Olee Fowler
