Rosemary’s Miami Slated For January 2025 Opening

After three successful sneak previews/culinary collaborations this past Fall, it is almost time for Rosemary’s, the beloved Italian neighborhood restaurant from New York City, to open its doors in Miami. Located at 322 NW 25th Street in the heart of Wynwood, this much-buzzed about restaurant from the Casa Nela hospitality group, will open to the public in January 2025. “We’ve been working on bringing Rosemary’s to Miami for quite some time and we are thrilled that the wait is almost over,” says founder/owner Carlos Suarez, the Cuban-English restaurateur behind the brand. “Starting a new year with a new restaurant in such an exciting place feels like a gift. My family lived in Miami for close to 20 years, so returning here feels like coming home. Which is what a night at Rosemary’s is designed to feel like. We want people to be comfortable and enjoy delicious food at affordable prices in a place that feels as much a part of the city as it does the Italian countryside.”

Rosemary’s Wynwood is firmly planting its roots by repurposing a single-story shoe warehouse and adjacent empty lot, transforming them into a lush oasis for al fresco dining, set amidst an urban farm inspired by the Tuscan countryside, developed in partnership with Miami’s Little River Cooperative. In fact, partnerships and collaborations with hometown heroes and organizations such as Little River Cooperative is a foundational aspect of the Rosemary’s brand. No doubt, Rosemary’s Wynwood will deliver a thoughtful and elevated dining experience rooted in sustainability and locally sourced ingredients while reminding the wider community that great design and food can be approachable.

At the helm in Miami is Executive Chef Craig Giunta, whose impressive vitae includes Mother Wolf, Concours Club, and Macchialina. At Rosemary’s, Giunta will focus on locally sourced ingredients – many of which will be grown in the restaurant’s garden, emulating the West Village location’s famed rooftop farm. The menu – echoing Rosemary’s deep-rooted connection to the land – will showcase a variety of seasonal vegetables, handmade pastas, and fresh seafood. Diners can expect freshly-made mozzarella, pulled in-house, and an array of focaccia, along with house favorites such as Eggplant Caponata with roasted vegetables, pine nuts, and agrodolce; Orecchiette with house-made sausage, broccoli rabe, Fresno chili and Parmigiano; and Chopped Salad “Siciliana” with escarole, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, crispy chickpeas, ricotta salata, and almonds. For dessert, guests can indulge in the popular Olive Oil Cake, Tiramisu, and Bombolini with Nutella crema. A creative cocktail list will feature Italian spritzes, zero-proof libations, and twists on the classics. The wine list will feature Italian wines, curated to complement the menu.

Rosemary’s is named after Suarez’s mother and pays tribute to her delicious, made-with-love home-cooked meals and the vegetable garden she tends in Lucca, Italy. It was the glow of these memories that sowed the seeds for what would become Rosemary’s – a restaurant that evokes the spirit of a family dining room warmed by the craft and the affection emanating from the kitchen. Combining a relaxed, botanical design, polished yet hospitality-focused service style, and delicious, reasonably-priced food, Rosemary’s is the type of neighborhood restaurant any neighborhood wants and deserves.

Designed by NYC interior design firm Dekar Design, who created all seven Casa Nela restaurants, the 7,000 square foot indoor-outdoor space will evoke the feeling of an urban farmhouse, combining rustic charm with modern touches. An outdoor garden will provide the perfect cultivation area for in-house produce and herbs.
