SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR ON MIAMI BEACH

Since it opened in Pinecrest, Florida in 1997, Grazie restaurant has remained one of the area's most acclaimed restaurants by virtue of its incredibly vibrant cuisine and unparalleled service. Now, the celebrated restaurant has moved to Miami Beach, giving a wider variety of diners an opportunity to sample the haute Italian cuisine and service that have made it one of the most popular fine dining restaurants in south Fonda. At the new 75-seat location, which opened in December 2004, diners will find a rare gem - an elegant yet comfortable space that eschews pretense and embraces a dedication to hospitality that turns every diner into a VIP. The fact that such a successful concept comes from three distinctly non-Italian restaurant veterans is just one of the many surprises Grazie has to offer.

Grazie is the brainchild of Moshe Petel (Israeli, 41) and Spurgeon Solomon (Honduran, 39), two passionate hospitality professionals with more than twenty years combined experience in the restaurant industry, including close to a decade together at Miami Beach's venerable Osteria del Teatro, where they developed an unbridled passion for Italian cuisine. In 1997, the two departed from del Teatro and turned that passion into Grazie, which they originally opened in a smaller incarnation in South Florida's Pinecrest suburb with executive chef Felix Pavon (Nicaraguan, 34). 'We've been very fortunate," Solomon says of Grazie's success. In truth, the original 50- seat space was a home run, drawing diners to an area not known as a dining destination and striking a chord with the affluent residents who no longer needed to travel to Miami Beach or Coral Gables for a great dinner. "We did very well in Pinecrest but were looking to expand and expose Grazie to a more international clientele," he adds. "For that, there's no better place than South Beach."
