Exploring Espanola Way in Miami Beach
When you enjoy a fine Italian seafood feast at our South Beach restaurant, you’re also soaking up the ambiance of one of the Miami area’s most distinctive thoroughfares: Espanola Way.
A European Village in the Heart of South Beach
South of 15th St. and unspooled between Pennsylvania and Washington avenues, this colorful lane assumed its European-style flavor back in the 1920 thanks to the vision of N.B.T Roney and William Whitman. The architecture and mood were intended to evoke a “historic Spanish village” and summon the spirit of Old World bohemian quarters while serving as a thrumming venue for Miami Beach high society.
Much about South Beach has changed since those days, to say the least, but Espanola Way still manages to evoke Mediterranean accents with its pink building facades, tile roofs, bright awnings, and plentiful palms. The avenue has served as the zesty backdrop for more than a few television shows and movies—little surprise, really, given its unique visual charms.

Whether you’re nestled inside or enjoying the South Florida balminess at our outdoor tables, Mercato Della Pescheria provides the ideal perch from which to enjoy Espanola Way’s ample ambiance. Given our Italian-inspired menu—and all the fresh-as-fresh-can-be seafood populating it—our cuisine perfectly matches the vibe. So does our décor, which takes its cues from a traditional Italian marketplace.
