Award-winning Argentinian burger concept La Birra Bar has officially opened its newest South Florida location on Miracle Mile, bringing its globally celebrated burgers, signature sauces, and elevated dining experience to the heart of the City Beautiful.

While Miami is certainly no stranger to great burgers, La Birra Bar takes the experience to another level. Known for its perfectly crafted patties, premium ingredients, and bold flavor combinations, the restaurant has built an international reputation among burger enthusiasts and food critics alike.

One of the standout features is the impressive lineup of house-made sauces that transform every burger into a flavor-packed experience. From creamy and savory to spicy and tangy, the sauces are every bit as memorable as the burgers themselves and are a major reason guests keep coming back for more.

The menu is filled with crave-worthy creations, including the viral Dubai Burger, inspired by the flavors and luxury synonymous with its namesake. The Only Fans Burger has quickly become a customer favorite thanks to its over-the-top indulgent ingredients and Instagram-worthy presentation. For those looking for the ultimate burger experience, the Golden Burger delivers a decadent combination of premium toppings and rich flavors worthy of its name.

Beyond the food, La Birra Bar accommodates guests with a sleek, stylish interior that feels more like a trendy neighborhood lounge than a traditional burger joint. Modern design elements, warm lighting, and an energetic atmosphere make it equally appealing for casual lunches, date nights, happy hours, and group dinners.

Adding to the experience is a curated selection of beer and wine, allowing guests to pair their burgers with everything from crisp lagers and craft brews to refreshing wines that complement the restaurant’s bold flavors.

Located in the heart of Miracle Mile, La Birra Bar is a welcomed addition to the long list of Coral Gables’ dining destinations. Whether you’re chasing Miami’s next viral burger, looking for an elevated casual dining experience, or simply craving one of the best burgers in town, this newcomer deserves a spot on your must-visit list.

One bite, a side of those unforgettable sauces, and you’ll understand why La Birra Bar has earned a loyal following around the world.

Two brands known for turning nostalgic treats into next-level indulgences—Salt & Straw and Miami favorite Santo Dulce—are teaming up for a limited-time Pride Month pop-up that promises to be every sweet tooth’s dream come true.

On June 6 and June 13 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Santo Dulce’s iconic retro airstream trailer will roll up outside Salt & Straw’s Wynwood scoop shop, giving guests the chance to pair their famous Churro Halos and ChurroCones with Salt & Straw’s crave-worthy ice cream flavors.

The festivities go beyond the sweets. In celebration of Pride Month, both evenings will feature live DJ sets and a tarot card-inspired “destiny” wheel, where guests can try their luck at scoring bonus churros, extra scoops, toppings, and other sweet surprises.

Whether you’re chasing your next Instagram-worthy treat, looking for a fun Pride Month outing, or simply believe churros and ice cream belong together, this limited-time Wynwood pop-up deserves a spot on your June calendar. Just come hungry—and maybe prepare to hear angels, too.

From the moment guests arrived, the attention to detail was unmistakable. The custom-built set transformed Jungle Plaza into an effervescent Italian cityscape, immersing attendees in a cinematic environment inspired by the romance and grandeur of Italy while blending the vibrant American energy that defines Miami. The immersive buildout perfectly reflected the DNA of Istituto Marangoni Miami: internationally rooted, creatively ambitious, and undeniably modern.

Inspired by eternal elegance and the soul of Italian artistry, La Grande Bellezza transformed the runway into a living masterpiece. This year’s showcase celebrated the intricate textures, craftsmanship, and refined details that define Italian style while spotlighting the final collections of IMM’s graduating fashion design students. The result was an evening of exceptional creativity delivered with a level of professionalism rarely seen outside the global fashion capitals.

Unlike many emerging designer showcases that lean heavily into spectacle, IMM delivered a production grounded in precision and industry-level execution. From seamless show pacing and elevated styling to impeccable casting and technical direction, the evening carried the sophistication and discipline expected at elite international fashion presentations.

The evening was elegantly emceed by Eva Hughes, Executive Vice President of Istituto Marangoni Miami and a globally respected fashion media and luxury industry veteran. Hughes brought commanding presence, warmth, and unmistakable expertise to the production, guiding guests through the evening with the polished ease of a seasoned international fashion executive while reinforcing IMM’s growing influence within the global fashion conversation.

“In this, our third graduation showcase, we hope to continue to show the community not just how talented our student body is but how important it is to nurture and support that talent with access to top-tier instruction and industry opportunities,” said Hakan Baykam, President of Istituto Marangoni Miami. “La Grande Bellezza is a celebration of the beauty that comes to life when we provide the space for our students to birth their unique visions.”

Miami’s fashion, art, and cultural communities gathered in full force to celebrate the city’s rapidly growing creative influence. Guests included supermodel Karolina Kurkova, celebrity stylists Danny Santiago and Irma Martinez, and influencers Gabriela Medina, Jenny Lopez, Elle Ullman, Roy Teng Moure, and many more. Models were beautifully made up by the Godina Worldwide team at GWT Beauty, bringing each designer’s vision to life with editorial-level sophistication as students debuted their collections on the runway for the very first time.

The night was further elevated by a captivating live performance from Italian singer and performer Arianna Bergamaschi, whose collaborations with internationally renowned artists including Andrea Bocelli, Pitbull, Shaggy, Michael Bolton, Il Volo, Flo Rida, and will.i.am brought an unmistakably international energy to the celebration.

Supported by longtime IMM partners including Swiss luxury watch brand RADO, the presentation reinforced Miami’s emergence as a legitimate global fashion destination — one capable of delivering cultural experiences with both creative depth and world-class execution. Witnessing an inspiring display of fresh perspectives, innovative craftsmanship, and boundary-pushing aesthetics, La Grande Bellezza further positioned Miami as an internationally recognized center for creativity, design, and emerging artistic voices.

Following the show, VIP guests proceeded to the neighboring and iconic Moore Building for an intimate afterparty sponsored by LALO Tequila and Ethica Wines. The celebration continued late into the evening with decadent treats from Rosetta Bakery alongside one of the night’s standout culinary moments: made-to-order truffle pizzas by Verace Artisan Pizza, served fresh throughout the party as guests toasted an evening that seamlessly blended artistry, sophistication, and the future of fashion. La Grande Bellezza proved that Miami’s fashion scene has arrived, polished ready for the international spotlight.

Guests arrived to a scene that felt unmistakably Miami: glowing candlelight, skyline views over Biscayne Bay, and the electric energy of the restaurant’s iconic red-and-blue aesthetic inspired by the hit television series. Champagne towers and curated cocktail stations set the tone as influencers mingled over passed bites and signature pours from the bar’s newest seasonal program.  

The highlight of cocktail hour was the creation of the “Eighteen Stars” cocktail — a vibrant, passion-fruit-forward creation named in honor of Gordon Ramsay’s 18 Michelin stars. Crafted with Casamigos Reposado tequila, Cointreau, yellow pepper, passion fruit, and fresh lime, the drink delivered the perfect balance of tropical brightness and subtle heat, becoming the unofficial accessory of the night as guests toasted beneath the city lights.  

During the exclusive cocktail-making class, attendees stepped behind the bar alongside Hell’s Kitchen mixologists to learn the art of building Ramsay-inspired signature drinks. Shakers rattled, citrus perfumed the air, and guests personalized cocktails while sharing social moments worthy of the Miami scene’s most stylish feeds. The experience reflected the restaurant’s growing reputation for immersive dining events and cocktail masterclasses that blend entertainment with culinary artistry.  

As the evening transitioned into dinner, the newly unveiled Spring/Summer menu took center stage. The first standout arrival: the pan-seared scallops, delicately caramelized and served atop a silky pea purée with braised bacon lardons, pickled fennel, and rich chicken jus. Equal parts elegant and indulgent, the dish showcased the precision and refinement that have made the scallops one of Hell’s Kitchen’s most celebrated signature offerings.  

The grilled prawns followed, bringing a bright seasonal energy to the table with vibrant cilantro chimichurri and crispy Thai shallots. Fresh, bold, and unmistakably coastal, the dish embodied Miami’s tropical sophistication while still carrying the layered intensity expected from a Gordon Ramsay kitchen.  

Then came the crown jewel of the evening: the legendary Beef Wellington. Perfectly medium rare and wrapped in golden pastry, the dish arrived with potato purée, glazed root vegetables, and red wine demi-glace — a dramatic presentation that instantly commanded every table’s attention. Revered as Hell’s Kitchen’s most iconic entrée, the Wellington once again proved why it remains the defining centerpiece of the Ramsay dining experience worldwide.  

Throughout the night, guests documented every detail — from smoke-kissed cocktails to impeccably plated entrées — creating a social-media-worthy celebration of culinary luxury in the heart of Downtown Miami. More than just a dinner, the evening felt like a preview of the city’s next era of experiential dining: intimate, theatrical, fashion-forward, and deeply rooted in world-class cuisine.

For Miami’s influencer crowd, the soirée delivered exactly what the season demands — exceptional cocktails, unforgettable flavors, and a little Gordon Ramsay drama served with style.

Hell’s Kitchen is located at 333 Biscayne Boulevard Way in Downtown Miami overlooking Biscayne Bay. The restaurant is open Monday through Thursday from 11:45 AM to 10 PM, Friday until 11 PM, Saturday from 11 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM to 10 PM.
