One man even got arrested as I ordered a colada one afternoon, but we were right back the next day—the coffee was that good.

airtommy Posted April 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 The car showroom we see in the opening montage was at 5600 Biscayne Blvd. It is now Andiamo Pizza. They've been there for nearly 20 years, so the food must be good. http://andiamopizzamiami.com/ https://goo.gl/maps/MEpDMBhKJTR2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go in this place they are very aware of the Miami Vice history and where Don sat exactly in “Freefall” (of course we know that! ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 If you're in South Beach and want a snack in between meals, the true Vice fan heads to the Dunkin Donuts at 1606 Alton Road to get coffee & doughnuts (with sprinkles!) and then walks over to Lincoln Road Mall to enjoy them on a bench. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Updates: I had listed Howie Wong's restaurant at 8001 Biscayne as "exterior only" but of course they filmed 3 scenes inside. It was a pizza place recently but it is currently closed. Gol Italian is now Capri New Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still there and good Cuban and US food. There is another one on Bird Road in the SW Section. How is La Carreta? In some old notes of mine I had marked this restaurant in case I need to eat a quick bite near the airport. I looked at the menu and it's pretty cheap by Miami standards. Is it reasonable quality?

Trying to find names of Miami restaurants back in the 90's that were on the water and near the Miami marina. I looked at the thread for "Miami Travel", but didn't find what I was looking for. Any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? If you're dedicated and want stuff for a particular era, try ABE Books and look for travel guides published in the year you're researching. You might find some dirt-cheap, and those things can be hard to beat if you're trying recreate a specific year or period. I just found 9 from the period between 1990 and 1992, and a couple look like they'd be pretty solid sources.

airtommy Posted January 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) "Golden Triangle" made extensive use of Ma Kao Restaurant at 8001 Biscayne Blvd. A new Italian restaurant has opened there called Sottosale. https://www.sottosalemiami.com/ I ate there and it was unbelievably good. I can't wait to go back. Chef Ivo Mazzon built a great reputation previously at Joey's in Wynwood. You can see Joey's listed here as one of the best pizzas in Miami: https://miami.eater.com/maps/miami-best-pizza-guide-map Notice that DanJ's favorite spot Steve's is #1. But look at what is #2: Andiamo https://andiamopizzamiami.com/ Andiamo is located in the building we see in the opening montage as a Rolls Royce dealership.
