Bellini Restaurant & Bar

Fourth-generation Cipriani brothers, Maggio and Ignazio, follow in their family’s footsteps with this upscale Italian restaurant perched on the rooftop of Coconut Grove’s newest hotel, Mr C. In keeping with the luxurious, contemporary space, the cuisine is rustic Italian but with a modern twist. Expect to see lighter versions of traditional pasta dishes such as the spaghetti with sea urchin and the standout bucatini cacio e pepe, plus Italian staples like polenta and branzino. Whether you regularly drink them or not, there’s no leaving Bellini without trying the namesake cocktail, which Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy, invented in the late 1930s.
