Navé
This spot is Permanently Closed.
Navé is an upscale Italian restaurant in Coconut Grove with a crisp, white dining room that feels like a spa or a fancy medical facility for patients who have been prescribed some combination of seafood and pasta. And Navé does both those things very well—so well that we firmly consider it one of Miami’s best Italian restaurants.
While one of the pasta dishes should certainly be on the table, there are more good things at Navé. The crispy snapper milanese is so great that even though it’s the size of a kite, you will desperately wish there was much more. And their veal parm is also impressively crunchy, and easily one of the best versions in town.

Navé isn’t a loud, energetic restaurant. It’s got a more subdued, understated personality than its neighbor (and sister restaurant) Ariete. So keep it in mind for a dinner with the in-laws or business meals. Also keep in mind their outdoor seating, which is great for a crisp Miami winter night. Just try not to sit directly next to anyone you suspect might try to steal bites of your snapper milanese.
