18 Iconic Hispanic Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Those unfamiliar with the culture and cuisine of Argentina might be surprised to know that there’s a large Italian influence. The country is seen as the most European in Latin American culture. This is due to the large influx of Italian immigrants to Argentina in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today, you can still see those influences in Argentinian menus across the city, where you can find both Italian food alongside more traditional Argentinian grilled meats. To a larger degree, it sparked a trend that’s pretty unique to Miami: Latin and Italian fusion restaurants. Graziano’s began as a small butcher shop in Argentina in 1962, but has grown into a Miami food empire for all things Argentinian. They have a variety of markets and restaurants around the city offering imported food products, bakery items, dozens of empanadas (including one with roquefort cheese filling), and meats—lots of meats. Their flagship location is in Westchester." - mandy baca
