The permitted capacity and reported seating plan for A Pasta Bar’s Miami Beach location are described in different terms. A Miami Beach Planning Board report cited by Citizen Portal describes approval for a 122-seat restaurant, with a maximum total occupant load of 195. The Miami Herald reports a 56-seat dining room, 28 outdoor seats and an eight-seat bar, plus a 17-seat counter around the central kitchen. The cited accounts do not explain how the permit figures relate to that planned arrangement.
The restaurant is expected to open Oct. 21 at 1784 West Avenue in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour neighborhood, according to the Miami Herald. Founded by Nicola Pedrazzoli, Simone Tiligna and Andrea Pedrazzoli, A Pasta Bar began in SoHo in 2017; the Miami Beach restaurant is its first location outside New York, the Herald reports.
The Miami kitchen is expected to make pasta daily and use a wok to finish some dishes, a method the Herald says is also used at the SoHo restaurant. Reported menu examples include green casoncelli and pink salmon culurgiones. The Miami menu is also expected to include grilled dishes such as ribeye and cotoletta alla valdostana, seafood including Dover sole and hogfish, and a five-course pasta tasting menu for two, the Herald reports.
The restaurant is expected to serve from 5 to 11 p.m. daily, with reservations available through OpenTable and Resy, according to the Miami Herald.
