Three’s a trend: Opening today in Coconut Grove, 3190 becomes Miami’s third no-menu concept from 84 Magic Hospitality—the group behind Cotoletta (also in Coconut Grove) and San Lorenzo in Little River. The team has pioneered singular-focus restaurants, where all the diner has to decide is what to drink and whether to save room for dessert.
At 3190, it’s all about lasagna ($15). “Si Papa,” named for executive chef Giulio Rossi’s daughter—who always said yes to her father’s signature dish—features a classic Bolognese preparation. Skipping meat? A vegetarian version with pesto, peas, and green beans is also on offer. Squares of housemade tiramisu ($9) and a tight list of Italian wines by the glass round out the experience.
Seating is mostly counter service, and there are no reservations, takeout or delivery. The idea, say the owners, is to accommodate the spillover crowd from neighboring Cotoletta, which is just as tiny and cozy.
If you’re someone who likes to customize everything, 3190 might not be your vibe. But if you’re into the idea of handing over the reins, this spot takes the guesswork out of dinner. You can’t always get what you want, but a bubbling lasagna and glass of Lambrusco might be exactly what you need on your next night out.
