Casa Mariano

Casa Mariano brings Chef Mariano Araya's Mediterranean-inspired cuisine to a quiet industrial pocket of Doral, blending his Argentine roots with Mediterranean technique across a menu of shareable plates. Guests rave about the ossobuco ravioli, short ribs, octopus, and goat cheese stuffed dates, paired with an extensive wine list curated by partner and sommelier Victor Tapia.

The dining room is decorated in Mediterranean-inspired blues, whites, and woods, creating a cozy, upscale atmosphere that works for a romantic dinner or a lively group celebration, with live music on select nights and a private dining room for parties up to roughly 30. Expect a $50-and-over per person experience with reservations recommended for lunch, brunch, and dinner.

Both Miami locals and visitors staying nearby in Doral's hotel corridor have discovered this spot, often calling it a hidden gem despite its unassuming strip-mall setting. Outdoor seating, takeout, delivery, and catering are all available for those who want Casa Mariano's flavors beyond the dining room.
