Positano’s household name, Le Sirenuse, has arrived Stateside, with a restaurant and champagne bar situated in the historic Miami landmark the Surf Club. Serving authentic Italian cuisine at the iconic oceanfront property, in a space designed by Joseph Dirand, Le Sirenuse Miami is the family-owned resort’s first venture away from its Amalfi home.

Second-generation co-owner Antonio Sersale spoke to V.F. to ruminate on the move from idyllic Positano to Miami Beach: “I’ve been going to Miami for many years; I’m fascinated by the people and its culture. As soon as I had the opportunity to tour the Surf Club, with its glorious terrace overlooking the blue sea, and to meet Nadim Ashi, the visionary developer, I had no doubt that it was the right location for the new Le Sirenuse.
