La Màrtola

"La Martola offers a taste of Riviera cuisine, focusing on coastal flavors from Italy, France, and Spain. Start with fragrant heirloom tomatoes and bluefin akami tuna tartare dressed with Mediterranean gin, citrus, and chives. For mains, try the housemade egg tagliolini al limone or Fiorentina steak. The wood-fired oven turns out Neapolitan-style pizzas, including the standout Portonovo topped with buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, mortadella, pistachio, and orange zest. A well-curated wine list complements the food with sparkling, red, white, and rosé options. The indoor-outdoor space features a minimalist design with natural materials and ceramic artwork by Daphne Leon." - Juliana Accioly

"Enjoy a taste of the seaside lifestyle at La Martola. This airy newcomer in Buena Vista makes you think you’ve been transported to a beautiful European seaside town, serving a menu inspired by the coastal flavors of the Italian, French, and Spanish Rivieras. The offerings include European-style starters like oysters and tartare, main courses such as grilled turbot, and a variety of Neapolitan-style pizzas like the unique Portonovo topped with buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, mortadella, pistachio, and orange zest." - Olee Fowler

"La Màrtola is yet another entry into Miami’s expensive Italian restaurant arena, which is becoming almost as crowded as our real estate agent community or collection of social media influencers wanted for questioning by the FBI. This Buena Vista restaurant lands somewhere in the middle of the pack. The crudo, pasta, and fluffy pizzas are sort of the food equivalent of TV shows you put on while you scroll. They're not very memorable, but they give your brain something to do while you stare at the blank white walls and fantasize about spending too much money at a wellness resort on the Amalfi Coast. Just don’t dissociate so hard that you don’t notice the flaky salt in the center of the table. It helps give some personality to the underseasoned food." - Ryan Pfeffer

"This newcomer featuring European coastal cuisine is the ideal destination for moms who enjoy fine dining in a breezy, chic setting. Be greeted with a complimentary La Màrtola Spritz before diving into the two-course prix-fixe menu. Starters include Island Creek oysters, pan con tomate y jamón serrano, avocado egg toast, or tortilla Española. Follow that with crepes au ragu, soft-scrambled eggs, “Alla Gricia,” nicoise salad, or the heritage green circle poulet. Hours: noon to 4 p.m. Price: $50 per person" - Alona Martinez
