Casa Isola, the newest restaurant by James Beard award-nominated chef José Mendín, is open for dinner. The Italian concept occupies the former Pubbelly Noodle Bar space in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour neighborhood, which ceased operations in the fall of 2019.

An indoor/outdoor space decked in a Mediterranean-inspired décor of white and blues, Mendín's first Italian restaurant is a collaboration with his longtime business partner Sergio Navarro and former Lucali chef Santo Agnello.
