Fiola is a polished, Italian fine-dining spot in Coral Gables overseen by Michelin-starred chef Fabio Trabocchi, where indulgence isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected. Think decadent handmade pastas, pristine seafood, and a wine list deep enough to get lost in.
In charge of the kitchen here is the talented Danny Ganem. His menu doesn’t create just a meal—it’s a full-fledged production, complete with tuxedoed servers, extravagant tableside presentations, and a dining room that oozes old-school glamour. The dishes lean luxurious, like lobster ravioli swimming in a silky coral butter sauce and Wagyu carpaccio that arrives under a dramatic cloche of hickory smoke. The caviar service is impeccable. The truffle pasta is practically mandatory.
Save room for dessert. The soufflé, if available, is worth the wait, and the tableside affogato is the kind of simple-yet-perfect finisher that reminds you why Italian dining is all about the art of indulgence.
Despite the formal setting, Fiola never feels stuffy. Service is warm, the cocktails are expertly crafted, and the attention to detail—from the plush banquettes to the house-baked bread that arrives like a gift—is what makes this place special. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just feel like treating yourself on a Tuesday, Fiola is where you go when you want to feel like a VIP.
