Fratelli Lyon-Driade transports you from Miami's Design District to the streets of Italy, even if just for a little bit. Have a sip (or many) of wine at this sleek spot and experience the pleasures of the good life, or, in Italian, "la dolce vita." Great care has been used in sourcing ingredients that preserve the rich culinary heritage of Italian cuisine. Ask almost any Italian what makes the food taste so good in Italy from the home kitchen to the trattoria, to the fine dining establishments, the answer is almost always the same, three key components - #1 use the best ingredients available, #2 keep the cooking very simple and authentic, and #3 add lots of love.
Dedicated to the "Slow Food" movement (as opposed to the "Fast Food" Movement, Fratelli Lyon-Driade uses artisanal and environmentally sound products, from sustainable seafood to grass-fed beef, certified Italian cheeses and organic produce, and the kitchen prepares fresh breads and pastas daily. A state-of-the-art filtration system provides the triple filtered still and sparkling waters for home-made sodas, beverages, and bottled water, promoting a cleaner, less wasteful environment. An all-Italian wine list offers bargains from Tuscany, Sardinia, Puglia and points in between. Begin your evening with a three-tier tower of meats, cheeses and olives, "Esplosione di Antipasti" then perhaps a Spaghetti Carbonara featuring crispy Pancetta. Deep, dark Veal Bolognese with perfectly cooked pasta, and ricotta-filled Ravioli in brown butter and sage are luscious. Lightly dressed Driade Salad presents impeccably fresh tri-colored baby radicchio, chicory and arugula leaves, and tasty pizza is loaded with mozzarella and tomatoes. And please leave room for the homemade Cannoli or not-too-sweet Polenta Cake with slivered almonds and lemon curd. The exceptionally good-looking servers are polite, helpful and friendly. The stunning Fratelli Lyon-Driad brings a taste of Miami style, a dash of Italian passion and a smidge of environmental awareness all under one roof. Buon appetito!
