Riviera Focacceria Miami is an unlikely find in Midtown. According to Fabio Domenichini, the owner who hails from Genoa, it's one of only a few restaurants serving Ligurian cuisine in the USA. If you've been to Genoa or the Amalfi Coast (Positano, Sorrento, Capri, etc), you've sampled the delicate cuisine which primarily revolves around fresh seafood, pesto (basil and olive oil), pastas, gnocchi, pine nuts, and tomato sauce made with the small, exquisite Taggiasca black olives. The olives are also used for oil which is among the priciest in the country. Riviera Focacceria is a trattoria that's welcoming, friendly, and authentic. You see a lot of Italians there, especially at lunch, which is the best sign. Plus, it's the kind of place you'll go back to and they'll remember you after one visit.
