Danny DeVito's new Italian restaurant (Pic)

Actor Danny DeVito and New York restaurateur David Manero are prepairing to open DeVito's South Beach, Old World Italy on Ocean Drive in the space formerly know as Joia.

Having a celebrity restaurant South of Fifth Street will defintly put the squeeze on nearby restaurants like Prime 112, Nemo, China Grill and Smith and Wollensky. Without a doubt, someone will get bumped from the Top 20 Restaurants list.

Wikipedia says Danny DeVito is a vegetarian. I wonder if this will have any effect on the menu? I hope so. I can't think of any restaurants in Miami that even consider, let alone cater to vegetarians.

Mr. DeVito's new restaurant is scheduled to open in February of 2007.

I hope Danny's Italian restaurant is unique in some way, like going the vegetarian route. South Beach needs another Italian restauraurant as much as I need a hole in my head. ;-)

I will be in Miami Beach in Feb. 2007.
Any word on his restaurant? :)

Any update on this restaurant??

Please reply!

No word yet. We'll keep you posted.

DeVito's is opening June 18th. Looks like they shortened the name to "DeVitos South Beach":

The Global Steak Flight will be the restaurant's signature dish that will include a presentation of premium Kobe steak from three different regions of the world—authentic Japanese Kobe Beef, Australian Wagyu Rollatini and American Kobe Flat Iron. The Porcini Trio will delight pasta lovers with a delectable selection of Porcini Gnocci, Porcini Bolognese and Porcini Fritti. The Burrata, prepared daily, with fresh ingredients sourced locally, will also be house-made.

A "Global Steak Flight" doesn't sound so vegetarian to me.

The restaurant is accepting applications. To apply for a job, click here.

After seeing Danny's smile in the press picture, I'm starting to wonder if he's still a vegetarian?

It was about time!

The expectations for this restaurant are really high. I received a lot of phone calls asking about the opening that was supposed to happen a long time ago.

Well, Good luck!

Hi Jonathan! They aren't open yet. No doubt it will be pricey. More info is on its way shortly.
