The Infatuation’s Favorite New Restaurants Of 2019 - The Infatuation
"We usually wait until the check comes to decide how we feel about a restaurant, but Boia De in Miami is one of the only places we’ve been to this year where we could have told you it was awesome before we even sat down. Even at first glance, there are so many things to love at this tiny Italian restaurant - from the speckled black and white bar countertop to the cigar-smoking monkeys on the bathroom wallpaper - that you can be pretty sure it’s going to deliver all the way ’til dessert hits the table. And dishes like hanger steak tartare, hamachi and fried capers, and potato skins covered in caviar and stracciatella only reinforce that first impression. It feels good to be right. Reservations go live on Resy at noon 30 days in advance. That is when you need to be at your computer, refreshing the page like your life depends on it. Use desktop, not mobile, so you can refresh and click around faster. If that doesn't work, Resy notifications are your friend. Boia De also holds space for nightly walk-ins. It’s a gamble, but try to arrive just before they open. Walrus Rodeo, their excellent sister restaurant, is a backup plan waiting for you next door." - team infatuation
