arolo sits just outside the doorstep of the bouncy boulevard, quietly observing the scene across 5th street. Barolo is a place built with style and finesse. Barolo borrowed its name from the famous italian wine produced in Barolo, Italy. The fact that Barolo is considered to be Italy's finest wine is no coincidence.
The food at Barolo derives from a very basic interpretation of the art of cooking: simple ingredients are used to form amazing dishes. Chef Marco thrives on the flavors and products of his native Italy: fresh herbs, organic vegetables, olive oil, local meats and seafood. The menu presents no reinventions, but is rather a celebration of elegant comfort foods. His brilliance is in the simplicity of his dishes. It can be as straightforward as a salad with organic baby arugula, tossed with roasted pine nuts, aged parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
With its mix of casual elegance and authentic flavors, Barolo is considered a real gem among the locals on South Beach. So don't rethink Italian food: rethink Ocean Drive.
