MIAMI, FL – Miami Spice is coming well underway and North Italia in Miami’s bustling and ever-growing Brickell neighborhood is taking part with some deals for fans to enjoy. The timing couldn’t be better since South Florida residents could use a deal with recent news that Miami is now more expensive to live in than New York City.

North Italia is offering guests $40 lunch and brunch menus and a $50 dinner menu through Sept. 30 with plenty of options including Miami-only touches, including jalea-style calamari fritti and bomboloni inspired by pastelitos de guayaba. Since an average meal in Miami can run diners over $60 per person, this is a deal no matter which option you choose.

Squid ink pasta at North Italia is a must-try.

Guests can enjoy 14 lunch entrées, from spicy rigatoni vodka and squid ink tonnarelli to lump crab and shrimp cavatelli as well as 13 dinner entrées, including lobster mezzaluna, braised short rib marsala with black truffle risotto and grilled branzino. I wouldn’t skip their squid ink pasta (the shrimp in the pasta dish is incredible) or even the upgrade on the Prime New York steak is well-worth it. The pizzas are a good lunch option and the dough is freshly made in-house.

I highly recommend the steak upgrade for dinner at North Italia during Miami Spice.

The cheese board leans heavily on the meat side, but I recommend their prosciutto. There is also a dedicated $40 brunch menu with short rib Tuscan hash, breakfast carbonara and pollo fritto.

Although cocktails are not included on the prix-fixe menus, I do recommend grabbing a drink and my personal favorite was their take on an espresso martini that has an Italian twist and really hit the spot. I recommend North Italia for Miami Spice or even just because you want to try something different if you haven’t been.

Finally, Miami Spice is a great opportunity to try the dessert menu at North Italia as well. I’m not normally a dessert guy, but their tiramisu was incredible and I recommend trying it! Enjoy.
