About Zucca

Zucca is Coral Gables' refined Italian cocktail bar and restaurant, tucked inside the historic Hotel St. Michel on Alcazar Avenue.

Equal parts stylish dining room and serious cocktail destination, the venue draws a sophisticated crowd of locals, professionals, and hotel guests with its housemade pastas, wagyu carpaccio, and cacio e pepe. The bar program shines with inventive craft cocktails alongside an impressive wine list, making it a standout stop for after-dinner drinks or a leisurely happy hour.

The atmosphere is cozy and romantic — upscale without being stuffy — with a quietly trendy edge that keeps regulars coming back. Brunch is a local favorite on weekends, and Friday and Saturday evenings see the room fill to capacity by 8 PM.

Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for dinner. Valet parking is available, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or settling in for a solo dinner at the bar, Zucca delivers consistently excellent hospitality in one of Miami's most charming neighborhoods.
