About Gianni's At The Former Versace Mansion

Gianni's sits inside The Villa Casa Casuarina, the historic former Versace Mansion on Ocean Drive in South Beach, serving Italian-Mediterranean cuisine under Executive Chef Scott Brown. Guests dine indoors amid frescoes and mosaics or poolside next to the mansion's gold-lined pool, a setting that draws tourists and locals alike for lunch, Sunday brunch, and dinner.

The menu leans on housemade pasta (lobster spaghetti, truffle gnocchi, cacio e pepe), grilled branzino, and Wagyu steaks, backed by an extensive wine list and handcrafted cocktails. A $39.

50 three-course prix fixe lunch runs daily, while dinner and weekend brunch push into fine-dining territory with reservations strongly recommended. Live DJ entertainment plays Thursday through Saturday evenings.

With valet parking, a private dining room, and spaces for groups up to 300, it's as suited to a milestone celebration as it is to a first-time visitor's bucket-list meal in one of Miami Beach's most recognizable buildings.
