As the sun glistens over the shimmering waters of Venetian Bay, there is no better place to indulge in authentic Italian cuisine than at Miramare Ristorante. Located in the heart of Naples, FL, our waterfront dining experience offers the perfect blend of classic Italian traditions and modern culinary innovations. This March, we invite you to explore an exquisite menu featuring the latest trends in Italian cuisine while enjoying the breathtaking views and warm, welcoming atmosphere that define Miramare.

Embracing Italian Culinary Trends in 2025

At Miramare Ristorante, we take pride in staying ahead of the curve while preserving the rich culinary heritage of Italy. This season, our chefs have incorporated some of the most exciting Italian food trends into our menu, ensuring that every dish is a delightful fusion of tradition and contemporary tastes.

Vegatable-Based Italian Delights

The rising demand for plant-based cuisine has led us to reimagine traditional Italian favorites with a focus on fresh, locally sourced vegetables and plant-based proteins. This March, be sure to try our Eggplant Parmesan, featuring layers of crispy yet tender house made eggplant slices baked with house-made tomato sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmigiano. Another must-try is our pappardelle alla vodka, featuring Large Ribbon Pasta with Fresh Mozzarella and Vodka Sauce.

For those seeking a lighter option, we have several delicious salads, including Miramare’s Signature Caesar with Croutons, Parmigiano, Romaine, and House-Made Caesar Dressing; and the Tricolore, with Arugula, Endive, Radicchio, Parmigiano, Sunflower Seeds. And Lemon Vinaigrette. These dishes prove that plant-based Italian cuisine can be just as indulgent and flavorful as its traditional counterparts.  Alternatively, protein can be added to the sala, including Chicken, Shrimp, Salmon, or Lobster Tail.

The Art of Single-Origin Olive Oil

No Italian meal is complete without the perfect drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. At Miramare, we celebrate the richness of single-origin olive oils by incorporating them into our dishes and offering them for tableside tastings. Experience the bold, peppery notes of Sicilian olive oil in our Caprese Salad, where it enhances the flavors of fresh mozzarella, vine-ripened tomatoes, and fragrant basil.

Pair your meal with our Housemade Focaccia, served with a tasting trio of extra virgin olive oils from Tuscany, Puglia, and Umbria. This immersive experience allows guests to appreciate the nuances of high-quality olive oils while elevating their dining experience.

Innovative Pizza Creations

Pizza lovers will delight in our newest additions to the menu, featuring innovative takes on the classic Italian staple. Inspired by the latest trends, our Honeyed Gorgonzola and Fig Pizza offers a delightful balance of sweet and savory, while our Charred Artichoke and Truffle Pizza brings a touch of decadence to every bite.

For the more adventurous foodie, we are introducing our Savory Watermelon Pizza, a bold take on a trend that has captivated Italy. This unique creation features a grilled watermelon base topped with arugula, burrata, balsamic glaze, and toasted pine nuts. It’s a refreshing and unexpected twist on traditional pizza that perfectly captures the essence of Mediterranean flavors.

Aperitivo: The Italian Happy Hour Experience

As the sun begins to set over Venetian Bay, there’s no better way to unwind than with an authentic Italian aperitivo. This March, we invite you to enjoy our specially curated aperitivo menu, available daily from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM (in the bar area).

Indulge in an assortment of small plates such as Truffle Fries, Shrimp Scampi, and Chili Spiced Tuna Tartar, perfectly paired with classic Italian cocktails like the Hugo Spritz, Sinful Espresso, Chocolate Swirl Martini, or Italian Wedding Cake Martini. Whether you’re gathering with friends or enjoying a romantic pre-dinner drink, our aperitivo selection sets the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening.
