About Fontana Italian Biltmore Hotel Miami

Fontana Restaurant at the Biltmore Hotel is one of Coral Gables' most celebrated dining destinations, offering Italian-inspired cuisine in a setting that feels like a page from a European travel diary. Located in the historic Biltmore Hotel on Anastasia Avenue, the restaurant centers around a lushly landscaped courtyard with a flowing fountain and Mediterranean architecture that sets an unmistakably romantic tone.

Diners can choose between the enchanting outdoor courtyard, loggia seating, or an elegant indoor space surrounding an open kitchen. The menu spans breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a legendary Sunday brunch featuring caviar, lobster, paella, and an impressive spread that draws crowds well in advance.

The wine list is among the finest in South Florida, and the cocktail program earns consistent praise. Executive Chef Christine Hazel helms the kitchen, delivering dishes like housemade fettuccine with black truffle, lasagna Bolognese, and Agnolotti with braised veal.

With a price point of $100+ and a business casual dress code, Fontana is the go-to for special occasions, romantic dinners, and sophisticated business lunches in Miami's City Beautiful.
