Roman-born owner/executive chef Pino Bodoni and his wife Giancarla, chef de cuisine, have created a sophisticated menu that blends traditional Italian and contemporary flavors, earning them exceptional reviews and national acclaim as one of South Florida's Best Restaurants, according to the Zagat Survey 2003.

Using primarily imported products and only the freshest ingredients to create haute cuisine, the menu features an array of interesting hot and cold appetizers like asparagus flan with mixed cheese "Fonduta" and truffle mushrooms. Homemade risotto and pastas, like pumpkin and amaretto filled ravioli with vegetable brunoise and truffle cream sauce, along with a selection of imported meats and fish are served.

Pino, a certified sommelier, has a cellar that houses 170 cases of wines and champagnes from Italy, and can be found mingling with patrons nightly, discussing the menu and suggesting wines.

Escopazzo is a South Florida landmark, located in South Beach, where the local gourmets, celebrities, and wine aficionados enjoy its authentic Italian cuisine, and charming personalized service.

The 90-seat restaurant has made a name for itself attracting a steady creme de la creme clientele including Patti La Belle, Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Janet Jackson, Michelle Pfeiffer, David Geffen, Chris Blackwell, Gladys Knight, Emilio and Gloria Estefan, and celebrity chef Mario Batali
