"The servers at this Italian aperitivo bar have a talent for knowing when you’re on the last three sips of your drink. The Neapolitan pizzas, crudo, and gelato are all fantastic, and there's a family tree of Negroni variations with ice cubes clear enough to read a novel through. Make a reservation for a pizza date at a table, or squeeze in at the bar for a couple sbagliatos (served in comically large glasses) before a concert. But it’s probably best not to make concrete plans after—ViceVersa is so fun you’ll just want to cancel them. Reservations for ViceVersa’s (tiny) dining room are available on Resy 30 days in advance. It’s not hard to find a weekday reservation at a decent hour. For a Saturday night table, just book a week or so in advance. But if you suffer from chronic spontaneity and want to walk in, the bar is all first come, first served. You’ll definitely have to wait for a table. But, you can order drinks from ViceVersa and enjoy them in the hotel lobby while you wait. It's top-notch people watching." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Viceversa’s location in the lobby of a Downtown hotel makes it subject to seasonal fluctuations in tourist traffic. But even in summer, this place gives locals great reasons to get this close to Bayside Marketplace. There’s the Monday burger night special, the only night they serve that squishy little masterpiece. They also have an excellent weekday happy hour featuring $10 Negronis and a cacio e pepe fried chicken sandwich. And we hope they bring back their seasonal mango gelato this summer. Even your average Saturday night here is still a phenomenal blur of gin, pizza, and more gin. Reservations for ViceVersa’s (tiny) dining room are available on Resy 30 days in advance.

"It's hard to imagine a restaurant this fun could be this close to Bayside Marketplace. But ViceVersa somehow transforms a hotel lobby full of tourists in damp bathing suits into a Saturday night in Rome. You're coming to this Italian aperitivo bar for helium-soft pizzas, zippy crudos, and the best Negroni in the world. But fun comes first at ViceVersa. Every seat in the narrow room gets you a view of wide smiles, and first dates going unexpectedly well. The entire place thrums with a combination of carefree energy and alcohol that’ll tee you up to be the version of yourself who usually only emerges after two cocktails in another country.

"An Italian apertivo bar is not a place we'd normally look for a cheeseburger. But the chef here used to have a restaurant called Proof that served a burger people freaked out over. That restaurant closed, and the burger people of Miami mourned. But now those same people show up here on Mondays, when it returns from the burger graveyard. It’s easy to see why people have stalked this thing for the last decade. The white cheddar, caramelized onions, and housemade potato bun melt into one incredible bite. Make a reservation, as this has become a Monday ritual for many. Reservations for ViceVersa’s (tiny) dining room are available on Resy 30 days in advance.

"ViceVersa is an Italian aperitivo bar where servers have a sixth sense for when you’re on the last three sips of your drink. You can stop here to drink at the bar but it's also a restaurant that takes reservations. Expect fantastic Neapolitan pizzas, crudo, gelato, and what's quite simply the most perfect negroni in the world. The space is versatile enough for pizza dates at a table or a quick round of sbagliatos served in comically large glasses before a concert. But it’s probably best not to make concrete plans after—ViceVersa is so fun you’ll just want to cancel them and make this your entire night.
