Elisabetta’s Ristorante – REVIEW
Savor the Flavors of Italy at Elisabetta’s: A Culinary Journey Like No Other.
January 19th, 2021
Elisabetta’s, part of the renowned Big Time Restaurant Group, has quickly gained popularity in West Palm Beach, and it’s easy to see why.
One of the standout features of Elisabetta’s is their commitment to crafting everything in-house. Chef Lisabet Summa’s vision of creating authentic Italian cuisine led to the decision of making their own ingredients and processing them on the premises. This dedication to quality and craftsmanship sets it apart from other Italian restaurants and elevates their dishes to a whole new level.
As we settled into our seats, our waiter, David, took the time to introduce us to the unique dishes and share the history of Elisabetta’s. With over 400 wines to choose from, including an impressive selection available by the glass, the restaurant caters to wine enthusiasts. We started our meal with a delightful cocktail, the Hibiscus Margarita, which featured a two-week infusion of tequila and margarita from Cinque Terre, Italy. It was a perfect way to begin our culinary journey.
The appetizers were a revelation. The mozzarella cheese balls, featuring Fior Di Latte, Burrata, and Mozzarella Di Bufala, were a true delight. Each bite was filled with creamy goodness, and it was clear that the cheese was of exceptional quality. The prosciutto board showcased three different types of meats, each with its own distinct flavor and texture. It was a plate that highlighted the art of charcuterie and left us wanting more.
The margherita pizza, a suggested must-try, exceeded all expectations. The sauce was perfectly seasoned, and the crust was light and airy, making for a pizza experience that was far from ordinary. The flavors danced on our tongues, and it was clear that Elisabetta’s had mastered the art of pizza-making. We were simply blown away.
For the main course, we opted for the mouthwatering lamb chops. They were cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, with seasoning that enhanced the natural flavors of the meat. Each bite was a delight, and we savored every moment.
Though we were already quite full, we couldn’t resist trying the cheesecake for dessert. It was a decision we didn’t regret. The cheesecake was moist and light, a heavenly treat that rounded off our meal on a sweet note.
Beyond the exceptional food, the ambiance of Elisabetta’s was truly enchanting. The restaurant boasts a 300-seat, 10,000 square foot space with a multi-tiered patio overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. As construction continues, the patio will offer even more attractions, including a bocce ball court, a fireplace, an indoor/outdoor bar, a gelato cart, pizza oven and vintage gazebos.
Elisabetta’s also pays homage to its Italian roots with its interior design. From the salumi bar with cool Calacatta marble to the gold-tiled Neapolitan pizza ovens, every element contributes to the restaurant’s charm. The beamed wood ceiling and rustic brick walls further create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the pewter bar tops and custom bar stools add a touch of elegance.
Elisabetta’s is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination for those seeking an exceptional dining experience. The commitment to crafting everything in-house, the attention to detail in both the food and the ambiance, and the knowledgeable and attentive staff all contribute to the restaurant’s success. Whether you’re a fan of Italian cuisine or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, Elisabetta’s is a place that will leave you satisfied and wanting to come back for more.

This 10-seat omakase opening in Miami is about to be one of the hardest reservations to get. Takay on Coral Way combines high-level sushi, intentional design, and a guest experience that feels personal from start to finish.
March 17, 2026
Miami, if you love a beautifully done omakase, this is one to have on your radar.
There is a new omakase concept opening this spring on Coral Way, and it already feels like the kind of place people will be trying to get into early. Takay is an intimate 10-seat experience created by founders Glen Kotlyarski and Yoni Matz, bringing together serious culinary pedigree with a very intentional, guest-focused vision.
Let’s start with the people behind it, because that is really what defines this concept.
Chef Glen Kotlyarski leads the culinary experience, bringing more than 2 decades of fine-dining expertise. His background includes the Jean Georges group and Miami’s Michelin-starred Hidden, and that level of precision and discipline is felt in every course. His approach draws from traditional Edomae sushi techniques, while staying grounded in seasonality and balance.
Alongside him, co-founder Yoni Matz brings a strong hospitality perspective shaped by years of building and operating restaurant concepts. His influence is clear in the overall experience, which is designed to feel warm, welcoming, and engaging rather than overly formal or intimidating.
And you feel that from the moment you arrive.
The space, designed by Japan based architecture firm KTX, is quietly stunning. Guests enter through a Japanese Zen garden, setting a calm and intentional tone before stepping inside. The interior blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with subtle Miami influence, featuring natural materials, soft lighting, and a sculptural wooden wave installation inspired by The Great Wave off Kanagawa. The entire room is designed to slow you down and bring your attention fully into the experience.
Takay’s omakase follows a classic Edomae style, with two nightly seatings, each centered on a 17- or 20-course progression. Seafood is flown in from Japan and paired with seasonal ingredients from local farms, allowing the menu to evolve continuously.
The experience moves through sashimi, nigiri, and composed dishes, with each course prepared directly in front of guests and thoughtfully explained. It feels interactive, personal, and immersive, making the entire evening feel intentional.
It strikes that rare balance where the experience feels polished and high-level, but still comfortable enough to fully enjoy without overthinking it.
When it opens, Takay will offer a 17-course signature omakase at $225 per person and a 20-course extended omakase at $275. Each seating includes a welcome beverage, with optional sake, champagne, and wine pairings available.
Takay is located at 2296 Coral Way in Miami and will be open Tuesday through Saturday with seatings at 6 pm and 9 pm.
In a city known for large, high-energy dining scenes, Takay introduces something a little more intimate and intentional. It is the kind of place that focuses on the details, and those are usually the ones that stand out the most.
Reservations are expected to be limited. Learn more HERE
