We had a lovely table right by the water. The hostess offered us blankets which was a nice touch as it was a cooler night. All of the food was delicious and the portions were fairly generous.

Ferneteria Miami: A Must-Visit Rooftop Gem in Wynwood Ferneteria Miami offers an unforgettable dining experience, perfectly located in the heart of Wynwood, surrounded by stunning street art and vibrant murals. The rooftop ambiance is unmatched, blending the energy of Miami with a touch of sophistication. The menu is a delightful fusion of Italian flavors with an Argentinian twist. From the perfectly cooked pasta and flavorful steaks to the creamy burrata and expertly crafted drinks, every bite and sip was a treat. This is a place where elegance meets the lively Miami vibe, making it the ideal spot for a memorable evening. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, incredible views, and a unique atmosphere.
