Italica in Midtown: From Pizzas to Breakfast Delights
Rise and Shine with Italica’s Avocado-infused Breakfast Extravaganza!
July 1st, 2023
Italica in Midtown has recently expanded its culinary repertoire by introducing a breakfast menu after garnering local fame for its exceptional pizzas.
The restaurant boasts a spacious setting adorned with cheerful colors, prominently featuring the use of orange throughout its decor. From the moment you step inside, there’s a warm and cozy feeling that permeates the entire space, even extending to the well-maintained bathroom.
The breakfast service at Italica begins promptly at 8 am and runs until noon, allowing early risers to start their day with a tasty meal. It’s worth noting that the restaurant only opened its doors last October and is just now making its foray into the breakfast scene. However, the freshness and quality of their offerings leave no doubt about their commitment to excellence.
The kitchen at Italica is manned by an Italian cook, ensuring an authentic and pleasurable experience. The attention to detail is evident in the presence of rosemary plants right at the table, which are skillfully incorporated into their lunch and dinner dishes, imparting a welcomed fragrance and added flavor to the meals.
One standout ingredient that Italica utilizes exceptionally well is avocado. Their skillful use of them can be seen in various breakfast items. The croissant, for instance, oozes with creamy avocado, creating a wondrous and indulgent treat for enthusiasts.
Yet, the avocado toast is a masterpiece of delicate flavors, providing a divine experience for those seeking a light and flavorful breakfast option.
Italica also offers a selection of cold-pressed juices that are both enriching and refreshing. In particular, the Tropical beverage (blended with Dragonfruit, Pineapple, Coconut and Ginger)
and the Green beverage (Kale, spinach, chard, celery, bok choy, parsley, apple and lime) stood out for their revitalizing qualities.
However, the All Natural Açaí Bowl was notable too. Perfectly chilled and complemented by a nice touch of coconut shavings, the bowl created a harmonious blend of flavors and textures as it meshed together Açaí with banana, fresh fruits, fresh berries, homemade granola, coconut, cacao nibs and honey.
Food aside, the service at Italica is noteworthy too, with attentive staff members who not only cater to your needs, but also offer excellent recommendations. The manager Miguel and our server Agustín ensured that we felt welcomed and taken care of throughout our dining experience. Additionally, Agustin was well-versed in the menu, which made him a valuable resource for us since we sought out his suggestions.
Whether you’re a local looking for a new breakfast spot or a visitor seeking a delightful culinary experience, Italica in Midtown is definitely worth a visit.

A night of music, mozzarella, meatballs, and martinis marks the comeback of Boca’s favorite Italian spot.
November 4, 2025
Boca’s favorite Italian spot is back and better than ever. After closing in April because of a kitchen fire, Louie Bossi’s Ristorante Bar Pizzeria has officially reopened its doors, and Boca couldn’t be more excited.
The restaurant kicked things off with an invite-only cocktail preview on Sunday, November 2, and it was the perfect mix of community, flavor, and fun. Guests were welcomed with house-made favorites, signature cocktails, and a performer wearing a champagne dress made entirely of glasses filled with bubbly. A live DJ kept the crowd dancing and smiling all night, setting the tone for Louie Bossi’s big return.
Every table was a dream for anyone who loves Italian food. There was a charcuterie board piled high with meats, cheeses, and fresh focaccia, plus a mozzarella station where chefs stretched the cheese right in front of you. The plates kept coming with wood-fired pizza, creamy pasta, rich meatballs, and those truffle risotto balls everyone was talking about. To end the night, a cheerful chef went around filling fresh cannoli shells with sweet ricotta and powdered sugar.
What’s New and What’s Coming
Louie Bossi’s still has all the warmth and heart Boca locals love, but with a few new reasons to stop by. Guests can now enjoy two Happy Hour options: one from 4 to 7 p.m. daily and another from 9 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
One of the newest additions is the Girl Dinner, which comes with an Arthur Ave Salad, truffle fries, and a martini for $30. I’m already obsessed and fully plan on making this a regular thing. It’s the perfect mix of light, indulgent, and a little bit fancy, everything Louie’s Lounge is about.
To celebrate the reopening, Louie Bossi’s is hosting a series of events throughout November that bring the community together:
-
Saturday, November 8: A family celebration honoring local firefighters, complete with pizza box decorating, firetruck photo ops, kids’ activities, and free treats.
-
Thursday, November 13: A Tip a Firefighter fundraiser, where local firefighters serve as bartenders and servers to raise money for the Boca Raton Firefighter Benevolent Fund.
-
Later in November: An Italian Mixology Class, where guests can learn to shake and stir signature cocktails in a fun, hands-on setting.
With its incredible food, lively atmosphere, and community-centered spirit, Louie Bossi’s return feels like a big Italian hug for Boca. The comeback is delicious, joyful, and exactly what we’ve been waiting for.
