December 2022 Miami Restaurant Openings and Closings


The last month of 2022 saw some significant restaurant openings and the closure of two beloved spots.

Giorgio Rapicavoli reopened Eating House. The much-adored Coral Gables restaurant started as an evening pop-up. It achieved much success before closing at its original location. Now, Rapicavoli has opened a much more sophisticated version of the restaurant just a few blocks from the original.

After earning a Michelin star for Stubborn Seed, Jeremy Ford and Grove Bay Hospitality Group have opened a second endeavor. Beauty and the Butcher (named after Ford, “the butcher,” and his daughter, “the beauty”) opened as an upscale neighborhood bistro in Coral Gables.

Finally, Michael Beltran, who earned a Michelin star for Ariete and a Bib Gourmand for Chug’s Diner, opened Brasserie Laurel in Downtown Miami.

Sadly, December saw the closing of the original Shenanigan’s in Hollywood (the much larger Dania Beach location still thrives), and Via Verdi, the charming Italian bistro in Miami’s MiMo District, which closed its doors after serving customers for almost a decade.
