Boia De

Boia De is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood that has become one of the most beloved and talked-about fine dining establishments in the city, celebrated for a creative and personal approach to Italian-inspired cooking delivered in a format that is unpretentious, intimate, and genuinely fun. The name is a Venetian exclamation of surprise and delight — an entirely appropriate title for a restaurant whose menu regularly produces that reaction. Chefs Alex Meyer and Luciana Giangrandi bring their respective Venetian and Argentine heritages to a kitchen that takes Italian culinary traditions seriously as a starting point and then applies genuine creative freedom to produce dishes that are unmistakably personal and hard to categorize as anything other than Boia De cooking. The menu changes frequently, driven by what is freshest and most inspiring, and is structured around small plates and larger sharing dishes designed for convivial, exploratory dining rather than fixed progressions. Pastas are exceptional — handmade with technical skill and dressed with bold, inventive sauces. The natural wine program is one of the most curated and interesting in Miami, assembled with genuine expertise and real love for the producers represented. The tiny dining room creates an atmosphere of energetic intimacy. Service is warm and engaged. Boia De is proof that a Michelin star can coexist with genuine neighborhood warmth.
