Rosemary’s, the beloved Italian neighborhood restaurant from New York City’s Casa Nela hospitality group, is excited to announce the late-fall 2024 opening of its newest location at 322 NW 25th Street in the heart of Wynwood—Miami’s buzzy arts district. Since its opening in 2012, the West Village institution has been adored for its quality, diversity, and affordability—which it successfully sustains today.
With two additional New York City locations and an outpost in Tokyo, Rosemary’s has become synonymous with fresh, locally sourced Italian cuisine, warm hospitality, and exceptional value. This fall, Rosemary’s will propel its growth to Miami—a market appreciative of the same pillars that have earned the brand raves for over a decade.
Rosemary’s Wynwood is firmly planting its roots by repurposing a single-story shoe warehouse and adjacent empty lot, transforming them into a lush oasis for al fresco dining, set amidst an urban farm inspired by the Tuscan countryside—developed in partnership with Miami’s Little River Cooperative. Rosemary’s Wynwood will deliver a thoughtful and elevated dining experience rooted in sustainability and locally sourced ingredients while reminding the wider community that great design and food can be approachable. Through collaborations with like-minded hometown heroes, talent, small businesses, and organizations, Rosemary’s Wynwood has large hopes of creating a genuine connection to Miami’s vibrant, diverse culture.
“We’re excited to bring Rosemary’s to Wynwood,” says founder/owner Carlos Suarez, the Cuban-English restaurateur behind the brand. “We look forward to helping to shape and contribute to the Wynwood neighborhood as it continues to rapidly evolve. Rosemary’s will offer an oasis of neighborly warmth, good taste, and good food without pretense or high prices. My family called Miami home for close to 20 years, so opening feels like a homecoming, and we hope Rosemary’s, for locals and visitors, will feel like home to them as well.”
Rosemary’s is named after Suarez’s mother and pays tribute to her delicious, made-with-love home-cooked meals and the vegetable garden she tends in Lucca, Italy. It was the glow of these memories that sowed the seeds for what would become Rosemary’s—a restaurant that evokes the spirit of a family dining room warmed by the craft and the affection emanating from the kitchen. Combining a relaxed, botanical design, polished yet hospitality-focused service style, and delicious, reasonably-priced food, Rosemary’s is the type of neighborhood restaurant any neighborhood wants and deserves.
For the Wynwood location, Suarez tapped Miami-based Executive Chef Craig Giunta to helm the kitchen. Giunta, whose impressive vitae includes Mother Wolf, Concours Club, and Macchialina, will focus on locally sourced ingredients —many of which will be grown in Rosemary’s garden, emulating the West Village location’s famed rooftop farm.
The menu—echoing Rosemary’s deep-rooted connection to the land—will showcase a variety of seasonal vegetables, handmade pastas, and fresh seafood. Diners can expect made-from-scratch mozzarella, an array of focaccia, along with house favorites such as Eggplant Caponata with roasted vegetables, pine nuts, and agrodolce; the Orecchiette with house-made sausage, broccoli rabe, Fresno chili and Parmigiano; and the Chopped Salad “Siciliana” with escarole, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, crispy chickpeas, ricotta salata, and almonds. For dessert, guests can indulge in the popular Olive Oil Cake, Tiramisu, and Bombolini with Nutella crema. A creative cocktail list will feature Italian spritzes, zero-proof libations, and twists on the classics. The wine list will feature Italian wines, curated to complement the menu.
Designed by NYC interior design firm Dekar Design, who created all seven Casa Nela restaurants, the 7,000 square foot indoor-outdoor space will evoke the feeling of an urban farmhouse, combining rustic charm with modern touches. An outdoor garden will provide the perfect cultivation area for in-house produce and herbs.
Rosemary’s is slated to open to the public late-fall 2024 at 310 NW 25th Street in Wynwood, Florida.
