Collaboratively designed by Cavalli and Italian-based architect, Italo Rota, the two-story restaurant and lounge reflects Casa Cavalli’s style of luxury and innovation. The intimate, ground-floor dining room is designed to mimic Cavalli’s Tuscan villa, welcoming guests with vibrant colors and intricate textiles. Neverbefore-seen photographs of Cavalli’s private moments and celebrity encounters line the walls, while décor featuring floral patterned
tablecloths; Murano glasses imported from Venice; wallpaper and accessories from the Roberto Cavalli Home Collection complete the fashion mogul’s signature flair. Even the floors are signed with the fashion mogul’s name, made from the finest Italian marble found only in Italy’s Massa Carrare caves. The restaurant’s outdoor terrace, the largest of any Miami Beach eatery, transports guests directly to Italy where street-side cafes, sipping espresso, and of course, Cavalli fashion are part of every day.
Upstairs, the sultry, sophisticated bar & ultra-lounge speak to Cavalli’s lifestyle of fashion, glamour and luxury; sleek steel fixtures; grandiose chandeliers; posh couches with silk cushions; chairs covered in signature zebra and jaguar prints; and glass pyramidal walls bring a welcome taste of haute couture to Miami Beach’s nightlife scene.
