If September felt like a busy month for Miami’s restaurant scene, October somehow managed to one-up the count with its plethora of new restaurant opening announcements.

Big names opened their doors in the Magic City last month, from the much-anticipated Miami Beach debut of New York-based Rao’s to the collaboration project between Groot Hospitality and Tao Hospitality with the launch of Casadonna at Miami’s historic Women’s Club.

Locally, Miami chefs Nuno Grullon, Michael Beltran, and Niven Patel welcomed their latest establishments with Grand Central, Eva, and Erb (respectively), while the annual opening of Knaus Berry Farm made its return on Halloween.

Two notable closings happened in October. They include Scott Conant’s Scarpetta shuttering at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach to welcome Mirabella by Michael White, and Miracle Mile’s the Gramercy.

And there’s still more to come before the close of 2023, with Gordon Ramsay’s Asian-themed restaurant, Lucky Cat, and restaurateur José Andrés’ Zaytinya at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach.

Here’s a look at what’s open, what’s closed, and what’s coming next to Miami’s ever-changing culinary landscape.
