Restaurants in 2024 are often full of Instagramable locations and a strong menu that can appeal to various TikTok trends. But a new Italian bistro, Cotoletta, in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood, has become the newest addition to the Magic City’s hot dining scene thanks to its decidedly laid-back approach.
The menu offers only one entry, i Cotoletta alla Milanese.
The restaurant opened last week, serving its unique, well-made veal cutlet, and has already gained a large following. The dish is based on the classic Veal Milanese and is served as a side.

Restaurateur Andrea Fraquelli of 84 Magic Hospitality told Miami Herald that simplicity adds a “human touch” to food.
“We’ve all had it Cotoletta alla Milanese before, but not in the way the Milanese intended,” he told the outlet. “It’s been imitated and changed over the years, but here, we’re focused on doing justice to this dish.”
Cotoletta offers a two-price fix menu for $80 inclusive Cotoletta alla Milanese and a choice of side: pasta, fried, or salad. Desserts are $9 each, and there is also a wine list.
