Miami, FL — April 2026 - Donatella Miami is redefining the Italian dining experience in Miami Beach, offering guests a refined yet welcoming escape into the heart of Mediterranean culinary tradition. Located within the elegant Donatella Boutique Hotel on Collins Avenue, the restaurant is part of a larger boutique hospitality concept that includes both a luxury hotel and a modern Italian dining destination, creating a fully immersive experience rooted in design, cuisine, and lifestyle.
Donatella Boutique Hotel is a restored Mediterranean Revival property that blends historic Miami Beach architecture with contemporary Neo-Mediterranean design. The intimate boutique hotel features a limited number of suites, each designed with curated materials, warm textures, and a focus on understated luxury. As a destination, it reflects a quieter, more refined expression of South Beach—offering guests a personalized stay experience defined by comfort, design, and attention to detail.
Together, the hotel and restaurant create a seamless hospitality experience where guests can transition effortlessly from daytime relaxation to evening dining. The concept is centered around the idea of “la dolce vita,” encouraging guests to slow down and experience Miami through a more intentional, sensory lens.
In addition to its dining and hotel experience, Donatella also serves as a destination for weddings and private celebrations, offering a refined, Italian-inspired setting in the heart of Miami Beach. The space can accommodate up to 200 guests, making it suitable for both intimate gatherings and larger receptions. Couples and hosts can work with the culinary team to create bespoke menus rooted in authentic Italian flavors, complemented by curated wine and champagne pairings. With the boutique hotel’s suites available for on-site stays, celebrations can extend beyond a single evening, allowing for welcome dinners, post-event brunches, and a more seamless, full-experience approach. Designed with the elegance of Italian palaces in mind, Donatella provides a setting that feels both timeless and effortlessly chic, where each event is approached with thoughtful detail and a focus on creating lasting memories.
At Donatella Miami, the culinary program celebrates classic Italian cuisine with a modern sensibility, highlighting seasonal ingredients, traditional techniques, and elevated coastal influence. The menu is designed around bold yet refined flavors, where simplicity and craftsmanship remain at the forefront.
Standout dishes include Carpaccio di Manzo, featuring fig-glazed Wagyu eye round layered with black truffle, Pecorino, Parmigiano Reggiano frico, and truffle vinaigrette; and Grilled Octopus, served with Taggiasche olive purée, yellow tomato, and basil oil. The raw bar offers selections such as Tuna Tartare with crème fraîche, Meyer lemon, and crispy pasta chips.
House-made pastas are a highlight of Donatella’s menu, including Campanelle Pomodoro, prepared with Piennolo del Vesuvio tomatoes and fresh basil; Rigatoni Nduja, combining spicy Calabrian nduja with yellow tomato sauce and Parmigiano Reggiano; and the indulgent Black Truffle Cacio e Pepe, finished with shaved truffle and crispy parmesan.
From the wood-fired section, guests can enjoy entrées such as Branzino, coal-seared and served with heirloom tomatoes and zucchini scapece, and Veal Milanese, a crispy bone-in cutlet served with arugula and cherry tomatoes. The menu also features signature pizzas, including the Nduja Truffle Honey Pizza, balancing heat, creaminess, and subtle sweetness.
To conclude the experience, desserts such as Delizia al Limone, Torta di Vaniglia, and Bavarese di Cioccolato offer a refined take on classic Italian sweets.
