Buenos Aires in Miami...I'll take it!


Buenos Aires in Miami...I'll take it!


Next to infamous Bird Bowl (the bowling alley of our youth) is Graziano's Restaurant on Bird Road and 92nd Avenue.  From celebratory occassions (my brother's wedding dinner) to informal gathering of friends (and kids), this is the place to enjoy an excellent slab of Argentine steak and Malbec wine.  You couldn't ask for anything else.

Start of the night with empanadas filled with ground beef, tons of bread dipped in olive oil, and then a typical Bife o Chorizo with chimichurri sauce.  There is alot to take in and the inside looks nothing like you would expect from the outside.  In a strip mall with a bowling alley, this restaurant stands out as one of the must-places to try.  They even opened a location in more affluent Coral Gables, but we still come back to this location.

As another option if you are up to grilling at home, Graziano's has a real butcher shop where you can buy everything off the rack and do it at home...poolside.  Both options are great depending on the situation and we encourage you to eat here.  The kids like it and there is enough for them to select in the Kid's menu to keep them happy.

Check out their web sites as they host wine tasting events several times a year!  Enjoy!
