We’ve passed by La Moderna Italian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar in Sunset Harbour numerous times. There’s always a good sized crowd, especially at the bar, so we decided to see what the appeal was and booked dinner.

This is my third post on Miami Spice and you may be wondering how I decide which restaurants to feature out of the 194 that are participating in the program. My criteria are that the restaurants be top quality to begin with and have an attractive ambiance. Then they put their best foot forward for Spice (several notable places were eliminated because of lackluster menus) , looking at it as an opportunity to showcase their food to new diners who hopefully become loyalists. I also feature restaurants that are upscale, as this is a chance to sample some of the best food in town for less than diners would usually pay.Tomorrow and Wednesday look for lists of my other picks for Spice with the menus.
