Every year, Miami Spice invites locals and visitors to discover some of the best restaurants across Greater Miami and Miami Beach through specially curated prix-fixe menus available throughout August and September. Organized by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), this renowned dining program brings together hundreds of restaurants offering three-course experiences at exceptional value, making it one of the city’s most anticipated culinary events.

If you’re looking for one of Miami’s top Italian seafood restaurants during Miami Spice, Mercato della Pescheria offers an experience inspired by authentic Italian cuisine, where fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and traditional recipes come together in a menu created especially for Miami Spice 2026.

A menu that celebrates Italian cuisine

Located on the iconic Española Way in the heart of Miami Beach, Mercato della Pescheria recreates the atmosphere of an authentic Italian marketplace, where the cuisine revolves around fresh ingredients, handmade pasta, and recipes passed down from generation to generation.

The Mercato della Pescheria Miami Spice menu stays true to that identity by offering two distinct dining experiences—lunch and dinner—where guests can choose one option at each course to create their own Italian culinary journey.

From handmade pasta to flavors from the sea, Mercato della Pescheria brings authentic Italian cuisine to Miami Spice 2026.

Lunch menu: an Italian journey for midday dining

The lunch menu begins with a choice of appetizer.

Guests craving flavors from the sea can start with the Crispy Calamari, served with grilled lemon and Calabrian chili aioli, a dish that pairs beautifully with a young, crisp white wine. Those looking for a more traditional option can choose the Italian Meatballs, slow-braised in San Marzano tomato sauce and finished with Grana Padano and ricotta, offering a richer flavor profile that naturally complements a medium-bodied red wine. The Caesar Salad is also available, featuring romaine hearts, Tuscan kale, lemon croutons, and Grana Padano, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a lighter beginning.

For the main course, guests may choose from three distinctly different options. The Rigatoni alla Bolognese, prepared with a slow-cooked beef and pork ragù, represents one of the great classics of Italian cuisine and is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a memorable pasta experience during Miami Spice. Guests looking for a more casual option will enjoy the Pepperoni Pizza, made with San Marzano tomato sauce, Fior di Latte mozzarella, and hand-sliced pepperoni, another expression of authentic Italian tradition. Finally, the Salmon Arrosto, coal-roasted and served with corn purée, fresh corn, and heirloom tomatoes, highlights the freshness of premium seafood. Each of these dishes can be enjoyed with different wine styles, making lunch an excellent opportunity to experience authentic wine pairing during Miami Spice.

The experience concludes with a choice of two house-made desserts. The Fresh Florida Key Lime Pie, topped with lime gelée and whipped cream, offers a bright, refreshing finish, while the Bavarese di Cioccolato, featuring almond chocolate cake, Meyer lemon mousse, white chocolate crème anglaise, and mixed berry coulis, provides a richer ending for guests who prefer deeper, more indulgent flavors.

Dinner menu: Italian flavors for a more complete dining experience

The dinner menu expands the culinary journey while maintaining the same three-course format.

To begin, guests may choose between the Crispy Calamari, the classic Bruschetta prepared with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, and basil, or the refined Salmon Tartare, made with fresh salmon, crispy prosciutto, green apple, and squid ink aioli. Guests selecting the Salmon Tartare should note that this option carries a supplemental charge. The restaurant also offers an optional selection of Italian wines to accompany each course, further enhancing the Miami Spice wine pairing experience.

The main courses continue to showcase the restaurant’s commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients. The Linguine Scampi, prepared with jumbo shrimp, garlic, lemon, white wine, and butter, captures the essence of Italian coastal cuisine and stands out as one of the restaurant’s signature dishes. The Parmigiana di Pollo, made with free-range chicken breast, fresh mozzarella, homemade fettuccine, and roasted tomato sauce, keeps one of Italy’s most beloved recipes alive. Completing the menu is the Salmon Arrosto, whose coal-roasted preparation enhances the natural flavor of the fish, served with fresh corn and heirloom tomatoes.

Dessert once again offers two choices: the Fresh Florida Key Lime Pie, perfect for guests looking for a light and refreshing finish, or the Bavarese di Cioccolato, ideal for ending the meal with a dessert inspired by Italy’s pastry traditions. The menu also suggests an Italian Moscato d’Asti as the perfect pairing for the final course.
