Spicy Hospitality Group Opens Celebrated Milanese Trattoria 'Le Specialità' In Miami Design District

Spicy Hospitality Group, the visionary hospitality collective at the intersection of cuisine, culture, and design—and the team behind The Joyce, with several forthcoming concepts in Miami, New York, and California—has officially opened U.S. debut of Le Specialità in the Miami Design District.

Spicy Hospitality Group, the visionary hospitality collective at the intersection of cuisine, culture, and design—and the team behind The Joyce, with several forthcoming concepts in Miami, New York, and California—has officially opened U.S. debut of Le Specialità in the Miami Design District.

A Milanese institution since 1977, Le Specialità is celebrated for its authentic Italian cooking, trattoria spirit, and iconic pizza—a local gem where honest food is elevated by grounded hospitality, exceptional ingredients, and a touch of glamour. The restaurant embodies Italian dining in its purest form: genuine, familiar, and always exciting—an experience that moves from an elegant dinner to a spirited serata, where every night feels like a gathering among friends.

Since opening on Via Pietro Calvi nearly five decades ago, Le Specialità has defined the Milanese dining experience: simple yet sophisticated, seasonal, and rooted in the finest ingredients. Guided by the Italian philosophy that food, wine, and hospitality are extensions of art and lifestyle, the restaurant captures the balance between Italian familiarity and fine-dining precision, where hospitality feels effortless and deeply human. Its Miami outpost carries this legacy forward, channeling the creative pulse of its new home to create a setting where art meets taste. Here, the neighborhood trattoria elevates the most genuine, laid-back Italian dining experience through uncompromising quality, bridging Milan’s timeless dining culture with the city’s ever-evolving energy.

“Bringing Le Specialità to the U.S. marks a major milestone for Spicy Hospitality Group. The restaurant has long been a cornerstone of Milan’s dining culture and the Miami Design District is the ideal setting for its American debut, reflecting our vision to build a collection of restaurants that embody the creativity, ambition, and energy of this city.” Said Andre Sakhai, Principal & Founder, Spicy Hospitality Group

MENU & BEVERAGE PROGRAM

At the heart of Le Specialità’s legacy is its dedication to simplicity and excellence. The restaurant’s approach to Italian cuisine emphasizes seasonality, quality, and authenticity, honoring the traditions that have defined its Milanese roots while introducing new creations inspired by Miami’s international palate.

The menu spans a refined selection of housemade pastas, seafood, and meats, complemented by the restaurant’s signature pizza offerings, a hallmark of its Milanese heritage. Known for transforming the classic pizza into a local legend—light, crisp, and precisely leavened—Le Specialità brings that same craftsmanship to Miami with selections including the Margherita, Truffle Pizza, and Piccantissimi with chili pepper pesto and pine nuts.

The secondi offerings pay homage to timeless Italian preparations with dishes such as Branzino alla Siciliana, Dover Sole Meunière, and Veal Milanese, each executed with balance and precision. The menu concludes with a selection of refined Italian desserts, including house-made gelato in pistachio, dark chocolate, nocciola, vanilla, crema italiana, and salted caramel, as well as a classic tiramisu layered with mascarpone mousse, espresso, ladyfingers, and cocoa.

The robust beverage program is anchored by a 260-label wine list rooted in Italy’s most renowned regions and complemented by select vintages from Burgundy and Bordeaux—among them 1990 Le Pin, 1986 Pétrus, and 1952 Pavie. The list features an exceptional collection of Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello di Montalcino dating back three decades. The program is rounded out by signature cocktails such as the Milano Mai Tai, Fragola Basilico, and Espresso Italiano, each designed to pair seamlessly with the menu.

ART & DESIGN

Central to the concept is an eclectic art collection curated by Andre Sakhai, featuring vintage Italian photography alongside works from his personal archives, including pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat, KAWS, Rashid Johnson, Peter Saul, Joel Mesler, John Wesley, Takashi Murakami, and Richard Prince. Together, these elements create an atmosphere that captures the artistic soul of Milan and the character of its new Miami home.

“The art sets the tone for the whole space. It’s what brings personality and depth to the design. We wanted pieces that felt authentic to Milan but still made sense in Miami—something timeless, bold, and unexpected. The collection helps tell the story of two cultures that share a love for creativity, color, and expression.” Said Andre Sakhai, Principal & Founder, Spicy Hospitality Group

For its Miami debut, Spicy Hospitality Group enlisted the acclaimed architecture and design firm Rockwell Group to create a space where Milan meets Miami. Drawing from Milan’s radical design movement of the 1960s and 1970s and Miami’s colorful, celebratory culture, the interiors embrace a “radical retro chic” ethos—sophisticated yet playful, glamorous yet unpretentious.

“The design concept for Le Specialita blends the bold, playful, and artistic spirit of Milan in the 1960s and 70s with the rich, dynamic, and festive culture of present-day Miami. Sweeping curves and oversized graphic elements define each space in the restaurant.” Said David Rockwell, Founder and President, Rockwell Group.

Guests first encounter the 100-seat restaurant through a lively cluster of sidewalk seating before entering a dynamic interior defined by sweeping curves, bold geometries, and rich textures. Standout elements include:

  • A green lavastone bar set with red leather stools, backed by a glowing mirrored wine wall with champagne-nickel accents.

  • Terrazzo floors embedded with metal stripe inlay, echoing the diagonal wood beams above, nodding to Milan’s Supergraphic era.

  • A dramatic pizza oven clad in black-and-white terrazzo mosaic, framed by a wood butcher block chef’s bar that allows guests to witness the action up close.

  • Dining areas punctuated by striped leather booths inspired by vintage Ferraris, lavastone tabletops, and bold lacquered finishes.

  • Custom furnishings and fixtures sourced in collaboration with Artemest, the destination gallery for Italian design and décor

  • The powder rooms serve as whimsical “portals” between Milan and Miami, with colorful chandeliers, pink terrazzo, and pastel custom mirrors. The outdoor terrace extends the vibrant atmosphere with striped canopies, colorful upholstery, and space for casual al fresco dining.

HQ Hotels & Residences by sbe, Led by Sam Nazarian and Marc Anthony, Launch HQ Residences Miami In Edgewater, Developed by Black Salmon, The Boschetti Group and Constellation Group

In Miami, luxury real estate is defined not only by design, but by energy that moves through a space, the experiences waiting beyond each threshold and the connections that shape community. Embracing this philosophy, development partners Black Salmon, The Boschetti Group, and Constellation Group – in collaboration with HQ Hotels & Residences by sbe – have launched sales for HQ Residences Miami.

In Miami, luxury real estate is defined not only by design, but by energy that moves through a space, the experiences waiting beyond each threshold and the connections that shape community. Embracing this philosophy, development partners Black Salmon, The Boschetti Group, and Constellation Group – in collaboration with HQ Hotels & Residences by sbe – have launched sales for HQ Residences Miami. This marks the first-ever residential tower from the iconic HQ brand led by hospitality visionary Sam Nazarian, with partners who include global entertainment legend Marc Anthony. Rooted in HQ’s DNA of “smart lifestyle,” the project transforms the masterminding of Nazarian’s hospitality expertise into a living experience that pulses with creativity, belonging, and the Miami rhythm.

Rising 35 stories at 422 NE 29th Street in the city’s Edgewater neighborhood, HQ Residences Miami was crafted for a life in balance, presenting 229 condominiums. Offering one- to three-bedroom layouts ranging from 721 to 2,074 square feet, along with a collection of 8 penthouses, the tower embodies a living, breathing environment, where wellness rituals, curated social moments, and sensory design exist in harmony. Residences are priced from $850,000, with sales represented exclusively by The Agency, one of the world's leading luxury brokerages, led by Mauricio Umansky and Santiago Arana.

As a next-gen lifestyle brand, HQ Residences globally launched in 2024 by sbe and strategic partners. Hotel properties include Antigua and upcoming destinations such as São Paulo and Miami, continuing to expand its footprint having now selected Miami for its residential debut. The brand reimagines traditional hotels and residences for a new generation, celebrating social hubs rooted in dining, nightlife, wellness, and immersive guest experiences that are infused with celebrities and influential partnerships. It is purpose-built for modern dwellers seeking approachable luxury, blending the vibrancy of boutique hospitality with the reach and reliability of a global network.

“HQ Residences in Edgewater is the moment we, quite literally, bring the spirit of our brand home for the first time.” said Nazarian. “From day one, HQ has been centered on building places that shape how people live and connect, and Miami is a city that embodies this vision, at the intersection of design, lifestyle, and global influence.”

HQ Residences Miami will introduce an exceptional lineup of lifestyle offerings and brand partnerships that embody the HQ philosophy. Spanning 15,756 square feet across two dedicated floors, the amenity program was built around four core pillars that define a new standard of contemporary living: Wellness, Entertainment, Community, and Art.

Level 34 is dedicated entirely to the first pillar of wellness and mindfulness. Designed by The Well Founder Kane Sarhan, the experience unfolds with health-oriented activities, from yoga and open-air training terraces to contrast therapy circuits with hammam, sauna, steam, plunge pools and bath-house treatments. A state-of-the-art fitness center supports both high-intensity and mindful recovery, while an AEScape treatment room and massage beds deliver next-level restoration. Outdoors, a resort-style pool deck with pergola lounges and panoramic city vistas blurs the line between residence and retreat.

One level above, entertainment and social life take center stage. A library and a dynamic collaboration space foster both teamwork and quiet focus, while a cutting-edge podcast studio provides a platform for idea sharing. Culinary and cultural moments are brought to life through a chef’s kitchen, designed for shared experiences, dining at TOMA Gourmet by Sofia Vergara and her son Manolo Vergara featuring wellness-forward Latin cuisine, and Jack’s NYC Coffee, the iconic New York roastery making its Miami arrival. As night falls, the vibe continues at Marc’s, a speakeasy curated by Marc Anthony, with skyline views, vinyl collections, and intimate performances. Residents also enjoy access to the HQ Social Club, an exclusive membership connecting them to curated experiences and VIP hospitality offerings across the city and beyond. Grounded in community and belonging, every touchpoint encourages meaningful connection, cultivating an experience defined by shared spirit and a profound sense of home.

“Partnering with HQ Residences allows us to help shape a community that is defining the future of urban living in Miami,” said Camilo Lopez, Managing Partner & Co-CEO of Black Salmon. “This project brings together a powerhouse collective of industry leaders—spanning architecture, development, hospitality, sales, and lifestyle programming—each contributing deep expertise that has elevated HQ Residences into a best-in-class offering crafted by the greatest minds in the business, where design and purpose align to create a true sense of wellness and life in balance.”

Designed by internationally acclaimed firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by award-winning studios DesignAgency and Craft, HQ Residences Miami exudes an “outside-in” philosophy, rooted in design, art and aesthetic harmony. The tower’s bold diagrid façade stands as a sculptural statement, while lush greenery by Enzo Enea climbs its terraces and amenity levels, establishing a vertical garden in motion. Inside, warmth and sophistication permeate every space, with tactile materials and subtle contrasts. Hand-selected marbles, sustainable woods, and refined textiles in soft, neutral tones create harmony between energy and stillness.

Within each residence, refined design meets livable luxury. Expansive terraces extend seamlessly from floor-to-ceiling windows, framing panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and Miami’s skyline while filling interiors with natural light. Open layouts enhance the sense of air and flow, creating spaces that feel both elevated and effortless. Kitchens balance performance and beauty with Italian cabinetry in warm wood tones, natural stone surfaces, and a full suite of integrated designer appliances. Spa-inspired primary bathrooms echo the project’s wellness philosophy with walk-in showers, floating-style dual vanities, and rich material palettes that evoke calm and restoration.

“Having represented some of the most extraordinary developments around the world, I can say with confidence that HQ Residences Miami is poised to become one of the city’s most sought-after addresses,” said Mauricio Umansky, Founder and CEO of The Agency. “This project captures the essence of Miami living - a holistic lifestyle that unites world-class dining, nightlife, and wellness within an unrivaled Edgewater location. We’re proud to lead sales for a development that’s redefining what it means to live, work, and play under one roof.”

Situated at the crossroads of Wynwood, the Design District, and Midtown, the tower’s Edgewater location is within one of Miami’s most dynamic cultural frontiers. Positioned along 29th Street—one of the neighborhood’s fastest-evolving corridors—HQ Residences Miami sits at the epicenter of rapid growth, surrounded by new luxury developments, the recently opened Whole Foods and next-generation offerings that are redefining the district’s urban fabric. Its centrality provides immediate access to Michelin-starred dining, gallery districts, and waterfront wellness destinations — while remaining less than 15 minutes from Miami International Airport, positioning it as the ideal residence for both local and international buyers. Elevated above the bay yet embedded within the heart of the city’s creative core, HQ Residences Miami offers a rare blend of immersion and escape within a hospitality-driven vertical ecosystem.

Pagani Residences, the world’s first residential project designed by the Italo-Argentine automaker Horacio Pagani, has revealed its two crown jewel penthouses. Priced at $30 million and $28.5 million, respectively, the residences soar above Biscayne Bay, offering an unparalleled blend of architectural innovation, Italian artistry, and rare perks found nowhere else in the world.

Pagani Residences, the world’s first residential project designed by the Italo-Argentine automaker Horacio Pagani, has revealed its two crown jewel penthouses. Priced at $30 million and $28.5 million, respectively, the residences soar above Biscayne Bay, offering an unparalleled blend of architectural innovation, Italian artistry, and rare perks found nowhere else in the world. Together, the two penthouses establish new record prices for Miami’s North Bay Village, underscoring the project’s landmark position in the market.

Crowning the 28th and 29th floors, the two duplex penthouses at Pagani Residences represent the pinnacle of the tower. Penthouse 01 spans 12,200 square feet (7,000 interior, 5,200 outdoor) with five bedrooms and six bathrooms and is priced at $30 million, while Penthouse 02 offers 10,700 square feet (6,100 interior, 4,600 outdoor) with four bedrooms and five bathrooms and is priced at $28.5 million. Each home rises across two dramatic levels with 13-foot ceilings, ensuite elevators, and sweeping terraces framing panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.

Personally curated by Horacio Pagani and the Pagani Arte team, the penthouse residences feature materials and finishes exclusive to these two homes. Interiors include light oak flooring offered in Pagani’s chevron parquet with metal inlays, paired with travertine stone on the second floor. A sculptural swirling staircase in travertine with oak and white lacquered metal details anchors the space. Schiffini Magistretti kitchens, fitted with penthouse-exclusive Gaggenau appliances, are offered in Carrara marble with Argento Veneziano aluminum and oak or Portoro marble with Nero Lipari aluminum and oak as well as a 365-bottle wine wall designed exclusively for the penthouses. Bathrooms continue the bespoke approach with Pagani’s 1000 lines in honed travertine, Gessi Cesello fixtures, and shower spouts with body jets in the master and second bedrooms.

Pagani Residences represents the pinnacle of living and design, and the penthouses are its most exceptional expression,” said Mikael Hamaoui, founder and CEO of Riviera Horizons. “From bespoke materials to private pools, to the rarest of automotive works of art, these homes elevate luxury into legend.”

In a first-of-its-kind offering, each penthouse buyer will also receive a “Miami Edition” Pagani Utopia Roadster, personally designed by Horacio Pagani. Inspired by the vibrant energy of Miami, the Utopia Roadster “Miami Edition” features a bespoke blue finish envisioned to reflect the city’s endless sea and sky. This exclusive edition, created in connection with the Pagani Residences penthouses, embodies the artistry, performance, and design innovation that define both the marque and the development. These hypercars ensure that each owner’s garage reflects the same artistry and rarity as their home. Beyond the car itself, penthouse owners will have the option to purchase a private garage space within the building, ensuring their Pagani Utopia Roadster has a home as exceptional as the residence above. Buyers will also be flown to Modena, Italy, for a private Horacio Pagani Museo tour and Atelier experience, culminating in a personal meeting with Horacio Pagani and Pagani Arte team . Penthouse owners will have the opportunity to collaborate directly with them to personalize their residences, making each home as singular as the car that accompanies it.

The penthouses come with private access to the tower’s wellness amenities, including a gym, a waterfront spa on the 29th floor, a restorative lounge, and a rooftop pool and sky lounge with cabanas and hot and cold plunges. Interiors are crafted by Pagani Arte and A++, distinguished by penthouse-exclusive chandeliers and signature details from Pagani Automobili, such as the iconic ellipses. Complementing these design elements, residents enjoy the full suite of white-glove services at Pagani Residences, seamlessly blending work, leisure, and connection.

“At Pagani, every creation begins with a dialogue. Just as we design a hypercar hand-in-hand with its owner, Pagani Residences, in collaboration with Pagani Arte, invites each resident into the adventure of shaping their home,” said Horacio Pagani, founder and CEO of Pagani Automobili. “Whether it’s a penthouse or a one-bedroom, the true pleasure is in crafting something unique and personal, infused with the same spirit of artistry and joy that defines our cars. Each residence is envisioned as more than a home, a canvas for imagination, collaboration, and signature style, brought to life with our team’s touch.”

Situated in Miami’s three-island city of North Bay Village, in the heart of Biscayne Bay, an enclave of tranquility with some of Miami’s most astounding views, Pagani Residences comprises just 70 homes in total, including two crown jewel duplex penthouses and four exclusive Sky Residences. Set at the epicenter of art, culture, and lifestyle, the property offers effortless access to Miami International and private airports, as well as shopping, golfing, social clubs, and destinations like Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Bal Harbour, and the Miami Design District.

Prosper Group and Versluys Group Announce $650M Ultra-Luxury Tower on the Miami River

Prosper Group partners with Belgium’s Versluys Group to develop a $650M ultra-luxury waterfront tower on the Miami River in Brickell, marking Versluys’ U.S. debut and reinforcing global demand for Miami’s luxury real estate.

Prosper Group, a Miami-based real estate development firm, has partnered with Belgium’s Versluys Group, one of Europe’s leading luxury property developers, to deliver a $650 million waterfront residential tower on the Miami River in Brickell, the city’s financial district. The collaboration marks Versluys Group’s official entry into the U.S. market and adds another world-class project to Miami’s expanding skyline.

The development will rise 60 stories across three prime parcels — 99 SW 7th Street, 66 SW 6th Street, and 625 SW 1st Avenue — which Prosper Group acquired earlier this year. Plans call for 158 ultra-luxury residences with over 300 feet of direct river frontage, offering residents a blend of urban sophistication and waterfront living. Delivery is anticipated for 2028.

“We’re honored to partner with Versluys Group, led by CEO Bart Versluys and COO Peter De Decker, whose century-long legacy of craftsmanship aligns perfectly with Prosper’s forward-looking vision for Miami’s next great waterfront address,” said Jay Roberts, CEO of Prosper Group.

Founded in 1908, Versluys Group brings more than a century of development expertise to the joint venture. The firm is known across Belgium and the Netherlands for its luxury coastal projects that pair refined European design with meticulous attention to detail. Versluys also completed the full renovation of La Réserve, a five-star superior hotel in the exclusive seaside town of Knokke-Heist, recognized as one of Belgium’s most prestigious hospitality destinations.

“That Versluys Group was selected from a range of internationally renowned developers is no coincidence,” said Bart Versluys, CEO of Versluys Group. “Since 1908, uncompromising quality standards, unmatched attention to detail, and a deeply rooted customer focus have formed the foundation of our company—values that align seamlessly with Prosper Group’s vision.”

Peter De Decker, COO of Versluys Group, added: “Jay Roberts and his exceptional team mirror our passion for innovation and our commitment to excellence. Having explored the Miami market, I’ve witnessed firsthand the extraordinary energy and momentum of this city. Together, we’re uniting European finesse with American drive to create something truly remarkable.”

Situated along the Miami River, the development will combine walkability, waterfront access, and connectivity, placing residents within steps of Brickell City Centre’s retail and dining destinations and minutes from Biscayne Bay’s boating and yachting lifestyle. The site also offers easy access to I-95, Miami International Airport, and Brightline, providing seamless mobility throughout South Florida and beyond.

Nearly 1,000' (300m) Suptertall Cipriani Residences Miami Reaches Halfway Milestone In Brickell, Now Standing 44 Stories

Cipriani Residences Miami, the first-ever ground-up residential building by the world-renowned Cipriani brand in the Americas, has surpassed a major construction milestone underscoring not only its rapid vertical ascent but also its emergence as Miami’s definitive premier tower.

Cipriani Residences Miami, the first-ever ground-up residential building by the world-renowned Cipriani brand in the Americas, has surpassed a major construction milestone underscoring not only its rapid vertical ascent but also its emergence as Miami’s definitive premier tower. With construction, overseen by Moss & Associates, now surpassing its halfway point and standing at 44 stories, the 80-story tower has completed its 37th floor, which will be home to an exclusive resident-only Cipriani speakeasy.

Reaching this milestone illustrates the building’s strong focus on a curated, experiential lifestyle, and places the project on track to become the tallest building in Brickell. Upon completion in 2028, Cipriani Residences Miami will rise close to an astounding 1,000 feet, ushering in a new era of supertall residential towers in the neighborhood.

“This is a pivotal moment that represents far more than the halfway mark toward the building’s crown,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital. “With the completion of the 37th floor, we are celebrating our work redefining luxury living through record-setting vertical scale and lifestyle-driven design. We are also proving that our ambition is matched by our commitment to a swift delivery, as construction moves perfectly on schedule.”

At the heart of Cipriani’s 50,000-square-foot amenity collection lies a hidden gem: the speakeasy — an intimate, cinematic retreat that sets the tone for a lifestyle steeped in sophistication. Envisioned as a discreet social club in the sky, this resident-only lounge will serve signature Cipriani cocktails and refined light bites in an atmosphere of sophistication and connection. Here, culinary artistry merges effortlessly with spaces dedicated to wellness, leisure, and entertainment. Beyond the speakeasy, residents gain privileged access to a private Cipriani restaurant, 24/7 in-home dining, a resort-style pool deck, luxury spa with treatment rooms and sauna, pickleball court, golf simulator, screening room, and more—all conceived to create a fully immersive residential lifestyle. Every detail has been meticulously conceived to envelop residents in a world where elegance, comfort, and Cipriani’s legendary heritage converge.

The tower is climbing one level every three working days, one of the fastest vertical construction paces in Miami’s history. Behind this momentum is a next-generation, self-climbing slip form system, an advanced hydraulic technology that allows the building’s core to ascend continuously without crane dependency. This method maximizes efficiency and precision, enabling the tower to achieve supertall status safely and at speed.

In a district where land is scarce and values are soaring, Mast Capital’s decision to build upward reflects both necessity and ambition, transforming verticality into a new symbol of the city’s economic and cultural rise.

“In a neighborhood defined by skyrocketing land values and finite development opportunities, we chose to look upward and embrace verticality as both a necessity and an opportunity,” continued Camilo Miguel, Jr. “The result is a soaring architectural landmark that is a symbol of Miami’s global ascent as a leading hub for wealth, culture, and innovation.”

As Cipriani Residences Miami races skyward, its dual narrative—engineering excellence and experiential luxury—positions it not just as a building, but as a new status symbol for Miami. By marrying record-setting vertical scale with Cipriani’s legendary service, Mast Capital is delivering a project that will forever mark Miami’s ascent on the global stage.

Cipriani Residences Miami features 397 one- to four-bedroom residences with interiors designed by 1508 London to be aesthetically genuine to the renowned hospitality brand’s distinguished style. The top 18 floors feature The Canaletto Collection, a limited assemblage of six penthouses and 74 ultra-luxury homes. The Canaletto Collection offers priority access to amenities like the private speakeasy, exclusive global concierge services by BHB, and for purchase custom furniture and accessory packages crafted by 1508 London in two distinct styles.

Sales and marketing efforts for the project are handled exclusively by Fortune Development Sales, with Residences starting from $1.7 million and The Canaletto Collection Residences starting from $4.1 million.
