This is a local spot where Italians go. Of course, not the only place but here is where they know each other. Personally, I don’t come very often but it is a place worth to mention.
Happy Hour here starts at 5pm and ends at 8pm which is one hour longer than usual. Drinks are at a Half price and some items of the regular menu are also offered at a big discount.
If you are all about the quality of the food this is the place. everything is prepared carefully and with delicate flavors. I heard they proud themselves of offering authentic dishes. that proud also extends to the sizes. if you have been in several places in Miami Beach and got used to the usual portion size, this is not the case. They take Spanish concept of “tapas” to another level and every dish is only good for one person. Size makes it difficult for sharing.
As I already mention the food is very tasty and with every drink, you will get two little pizzetas and a little cup of olives.
The whole concept of the happy hour encourages you to order your favorite wine and just relax and chat with your party. If you get hungrier you always can order a dish from their regular menu, just remember the portion size. but if you are looking to have a dinner in a different place this can be good appetizer.
La Moderna is located on 1874 Bay Road, Miami Beach FL
