Quality Is the Best Recipe

Sapore di Mare Born from the idea of the two spouses Giorgia Calabrese interior and graphic designer and Matteo Paderni ex free style bartender to praise the ichthyic tradition, based on simple and quality dishes of ancient Italian seafood recipes.
After Vino & Caffe in Miami Beach, and Ni. Do. Mozzarella Bar in Biscayne Blvd, Giorgia and Matteo land in Coconut Grove. a place where you can still walk, where everything is smaller, less chaotic, less touristy.
Sapore di mare is in fact is a small restaurant with few tables and seats, furnished as if it were a boat, with the typical colors of Capri and the Amalfi Coast.

We Love What We Do

Giorgia from Naples and Matteo from Florence,have been working together for over 18 years in international restaurants and companies such as in Relais Chateaux around the world, until in 2008 they decided to start their own business and start their adventure here in Miami. After years of classic cuisine in 2014 they decide to launch into a more risky venture, opening Sapore di Mare, a typical Italian seafood restaurant.

We strongly believe that a great culinary experience is a mix between great products and culinary skills.
We proudly select and offer to our clientele authentic ingredients directly imported from Italy.

The raw materials here are of the highest level: scampi from Mazara del Vallo, sea bass, octopus, turbot, Mediterranean cod, clams, extra virgin olive oil of first cut, homemade pasta, organic chickens, raised and bred naturally without cages on the farm, Alba truffles, Parma ham, Sardinian pecorino cheese and Sardinian sea urchin, roe and Sicilian tuna, , cheeses from Italian dairies of excellence, Cetara anchovies, and an indescribable amount of other ingredients and wines that travel daily from their places of origin to the kitchen of the restaurant.
The wine proposal is highly selected as well. Inspired by the family traditions and the Mediterranean cuisine with which Giorgia E Matteo grew up, in their restaurant, they offer typical dishes such as the famous Cacio & Pepe and fresh fish, cooked express and presented with simplicity.

“Freshness is our trademark of quality. A good meal is a journey that leads you to the rediscovery of the pleasures that you had forgotten but also that leads you to magical places that you do not know yet”.
