Macchialina Pubbelly in South Beach

Went to the new 'italian' Pubbelly addition last night at 820 Alton Road.

It was unreal! I loved everything we had. Tapas style with 3 full main courses if you want them.

We had their lasagna, meatballs, rib steak and salad and all were outstanding. The pizza was just OK and the dessert was unreal!

$100 per couple incl tip and drinks

I will definitely be back.

9.5/10

BIG ISSUE: DO NOT PARK in the big parking lot next door. IT IS A PRIVATE LOT and I got towed. Cost me $400 including taxis and tow fees. Ruined a great night!

The Bazaar by Jose Andres at SLS Hotel, South Beach

Went to The Bazaar at the new SLS Hotel on Wednesday with great anticipation.
It was entirely tapas with no main courses at all. While there was nothing we had that we didn’t like we left feeling hungry despite having 15 dishes. Each dish literally had 1 mouthful per person i.e. 4 pieces.
And to boot it was $20 for parking.
Bill was $300 for 4 people with very few drinks.
I will not be back.
