Pasta & Juliet brings a new Italian-Mediterranean dining option to the Miami area, with housemade pasta, fresh cheeses, cocktails, and a speakeasy-style bar.

Brickell has a new Italian restaurant, and it’s from a team that knows how to build momentum. Pasta & Juliet is the latest concept from The Dirty Rabbit Group, the hospitality company behind venues like MAD Club Wynwood, The Dirty Rabbit Medellín, and Bagatelle Miami River. The new restaurant replaces One K Miami at 1000 South Miami Avenue, offering a full Italian-Mediterranean menu with cocktails, a mozzarella bar, and a design that showcases the group’s signature attention to detail.

A Delicious Addition to Brickell

“We’re thrilled to bring Pasta & Juliet to the heart of Brickell,” said Luis Ginestra, CEO of The Dirty Rabbit Group. “This neighborhood is full of energy, culture, and culinary curiosity—everything we love. With Pasta & Juliet, we’re inviting guests to slow down, savor every bite, and fall in love with Italian cuisine all over again, in a way that feels fresh, fun, and full of heart.”

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily, with a menu specializing in Italian tradition and updated for a modern Miami audience. Appetizers include mortadella crostini with stracciatella, pesto, rosemary honey and pistachios, and fried calamari with tartar sauce, lemon and parsley. Pasta options range from pappardelle with burrata and crispy prosciutto to spaghetti pomodoro with basil and Parmigiano Reggiano. Handcrafted pizzas complete the menu with choices like truffle and pear, Italian ham and cheese, and pesto with rosemary honey.

A Dedicated Mozzarella Bar

The mozzarella bar features a mix of fresh cheeses and salads. Highlights include burratina with rosemary honey, pesto, and semi-dried tomatoes, panzanella with apple and DOP olive oil, and caprese with heirloom tomatoes, ovolini mozzarella, and balsamic reduction.

Cocktails and Late-Night Offerings

The cocktail program includes the 1K Espresso Martini, made with Ketel One Vodka, Mr. Black Coffee liqueur, and cold brew, and the Limone Sgroppino, which combines mezcal, Salvia e Limone liquor, lemon sorbet and Prosecco. A short list of Negronis and spritzes completes the drinks menu.

A late-night food menu is also available, featuring classic Italian bites and specialty pizzas.

It features plush seating, bottle service, and a full bar. Weekly programming includes happy hour, a party series called B4 the Internet, and comedy nights every Wednesday.
