Cecconi 

Alfresco. We’re pretty sure it’s French for “awesome.” So allow us to present your next slice of it: Cecconi’s, a completely alfresco Italian love nest, officially open as of today in the Soho Beach House. To get to this airy little stunner, you’ll first want to make your way to the old Sovereign Hotel, which is now the swanky new Miami outpost of the Soho House. Tell them you’re here to dine (you don’t have to be a member), and someone will walk you through the lobby, past the glass doors and into a courtyard.

Dishes, which depend on seasonal (and preferably regional) ingredients, precision preparation and solid creativity, come in varied sizes ranging from five-buck snacks to extra large plates like a juicy roasted Poulet Rouge chicken with shallot-mascarpone polenta on a bed of arugula, raisins and pignolas.
