Oggi Ristorante, North Bay Village

Since 1989, Oggi Ristorante has been hand-making pasta and serving authentic Italian cuisine. The menus blend hearty pastas with fresh vegetables, resulting in such combinations as carrot and squash soup, handmade penne primavera with zucchini and yellow squash, and chicken with portabello mushrooms and spinach. Distinguished by dim chandeliers and sconce-lit stone, the space is reminiscent of a subterranean grotto, especially thanks to the wine storage built right into the stone, where premium vintages call for diners to share a romantic drink.
