Rank 1. Mano Libera
Italian
A dining room with a hand-shaped table at its center sets the tone for this Neapolitan Italian spot in South Miami. Antipasti and secondi arrive family-style for the table to share, while the menu leans into Neapolitan classics, slow-cooked ragù and pasta alla Genovese, reworked with a chef's eye for unexpected pairings. The cocktail list skews international, the service stays warm, and the whole thing landed on the 50 Top Italy world ranking.

Rank 2. Beauty & the Butcher
Steakhouse
A square bar anchors the center of the room, floor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar on one side and personalized wine lockers tucked throughout, which tells you roughly what you're in for. This is a proper steakhouse in Coral Gables, the kind that takes the Caesar salad as seriously as the ribeye. The menu roams wider than expected, from croquettes to hamachi crudo, before landing on a deep cut of steaks made entirely in-house.
