Costa Med Bistro+Wine offers a consistent dining experience with delicious food and attentive service. Tucked into the heart of Key Biscayne, it is far more than a neighborhood favorite; it exemplifies how refined ingredients and heartfelt service can transform a meal into something memorable. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes such as soup, skirt steak with fries, shrimp salad, and bread pudding. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, featuring crisp white linens, warm lighting, and light music that allows guests to converse easily.
Antonio Braschi, the host, defines the experience with his soft-spoken manner and constant smile, making him one of the most beloved figures in Key Biscayne. He often remembers guests’ preferred wines and meal preferences, enhancing the dining experience. The menu is rooted in Mediterranean tradition, focusing on seasonal and premium ingredients, with well-executed starters like grilled octopus and tuna tartare. The pastas are a strength, particularly the black linguine with seafood and the rich, slow-cooked short rib ragú over pappardelle. Among the mains, the Chilean sea bass with truffled cauliflower purée and the Angus filet mignon stand out for their balance and quality.
The wine list is thoughtfully curated, encouraging discovery without overwhelming options. Service is seamless, with staff moving with quiet confidence, anticipating needs with grace. Many have worked at Costa Med for years and take pride in their roles, contributing to the restaurant's consistent quality. Open Monday to Saturday from noon to 10 pm, Costa Med also features a low-key happy hour at the bar, a favorite among locals. The restaurant attracts a mix of residents and loyal visitors, including public figures and athletes, all appreciating the relaxed discretion it offers.
Costa Med does not rely on spectacle or social media hype; its appeal lies in honest cuisine, genuine care, and the luxury of being remembered. This blend of culinary precision and human warmth makes it one of the most compelling dining experiences in South Florida.
