While we are currently closed, head next door to our signature restaurant LT Steak & Seafood for trattoria classics from The Alley’s menu — handmade cacio e pepe, artisanal pizzas, and more, served in a spectacular outdoor setting. Tucked away in the back of The Betsy, The Alley is a modern trattoria serving Neapolitan-style pizza, homemade pasta, charcuterie, salads, Italian-style cocktails, beer & wine. Inspired by timeless Italian techniques, Chef Laurent Tourondel spent over a year perfecting his signature pizza dough, hand-stretched to order by our artisan pizzaiolos, topped with ingredients that would make Nonna proud, then baked to perfection in our earthstone oven. Insider’s Tip: try the whipped ricotta and finish off your meal with a frozen orange gelato.

You're invited to experience this enchanting building, constructed in 1926 to be the first Cuban consulate in Miami. With its combination of French neo-classical architectural elements, Moorish arches and Spanish tiles, this picturesque house has a distinctive Havana flair. It is one of a handful of homes in South Florida on the register of historic places. The Villa Paula has miraculously survived the trauma of the devastating hurricane of 1926 and attempts to tear it down. Now Lovingly restored, it is a place for discovering art treasures -- ranging from Renoir and Picasso to Wilfredo Lam and Miami’s homegrown genius, the late Pervis Young. The original bucolic environment of the villa grounds is preserved in the garden with its cascades of bougainvillea and its graceful pergola, perfect for enjoying food, wine, and music. The Villa Paula is at the center of an emerging Miami art scene, as gallerists and artists have moved north to Little Haiti. The home’s current owner aims to bring it to life by creating a new kind of cultural center inspired by the American expatriate poet and patron Gertrude Stein, who hosted legendary salon gatherings in her apartment in Paris during the 1920’s, welcoming Picasso and Hemmingway and all the leading figures of the Modern Jazz Age. The aim of the programming at the Villa Paula is to consider the cavalcade of issues that relate to the history of South Florida and the world of culture from the 1920s to the present. The Villa Paula is a unique space. Along with a series of changing exhibitions visitors can attend day and evening events, featuring talented artists, musicians , and experts who will present engaging topics that will bring together people of all backgrounds who love to look at art and learn about the lives of its creators. Visitors will also get the chance to savor a good glass of wine or cocktail and enjoy some excellent “curated” cuisine presented by Miami’s most innovative chefs, or an intimate concert.

Monty Trainer: Monty, a native of Key West, wanted to bring a taste of his hometown to Coconut Grove. He built "Monty's Conch," a modest breakfast nook and petrol station, two years after graduating from the University of Florida. Monty eventually expanded his restaurant empire to include locations in Boca Raton, Orlando, Atlanta, and Key West. He sold his rights to "Monty's" but his legacy is still very much alive with our raw bar and the Coconut Grove Arts Festival which he founded and is now in it's 54th year.
