Twin brother chefs Roberto and Emanuele Bearzi work together at Downtown Miami’s RISTORANTE FRATELLI MILANO crafting regional Italian dishes they first tasted in their mother’s Milanese kitchen. Lunchtime guests vie for breezy sidewalk tables and in the evening, the casual elegance of the candlelit dining room provides a more relaxed atmosphere.

The family-owned and operated restaurant opened in 2006 and later doubled in size to keep pace with the demand for the chefs’ reasonably-priced, soulful fare. As downtown Miami grows, so too does this small business which is truly a labor of love for the entire Bearzi family. Working along side Roberto´s wife Fiorella and their friendly staff, the brothers are inspired by the dishes they recall from early childhood in northern Italy where their grandmothers would prepare hearty soups and stews for a Sunday family feast.
